History Awesome / DigimonAdventure02

* When considering that TK was mostly the cute, helpless kid of the group in the previous season and how his older second season self seems generally affable, his many moments of righteous fury in regards to the actions of the Digimon Emperor and Dark Digimon can be rather violent. This is first most evident in episode 2x19 wherein, in a fit of rage, TK physically attacks the Digimon Emperor after [[http://i.imgur.com/FhKIB.jpg smiling in dark amusement at the latter's whip-induced injury of his face]].
** In the midst of TK's asskicking of the Digimon Emperor, he also counters a second whip attack by ''catching it with his bare hand''. Taking a whip crack to the face (as that can ''hurt'') without flinching and catching another one with a bare hand is, indeed, awesome beyond words.

** The line given to TK was pretty awesome. When the Digimon Emperor whips him after demanding that he [[KneelBeforeZod fall upon the floor and bow down]], he responds calmly after smirking with:
---> '''TK''': Sorry, the floor's kind of dirty.

** Win for TK; ''Ken actually said yes.'' He basically consented to his own butt-kicking.
---> '''TK:''' That's your problem. You don't know when to talk and when to fight. Now is a good time to talk. On the other hand, it's also a good time to fight! *pow*

* Cody acts as a total BadassPacifist in Episode 34. When Blackwargreymon goes for the Destiny Stone hidden underwater to destroy it, Cody stands in front of him, pleading for him to stop. Not only this little boy has significant courage to stand in front of the dark version of probably one of the most powerful ''Mega'' digimon and '''even''' try to reason him and arouse emotion in this apathetic digimon. Though it's was useless it's became more awesome as it's works a little as Blackwargreymon doubted a bit about if he has a "heart" as he was also intimidated by Cody's determined look.

** Imperialdramon requires special mention. The opening theme being used as a ThemeMusicPowerUp is nothing new, but Imperialdramon is the ''only'' evolution sequence in the franchise so far to have the opening song itself AS the evolution theme. And of all themes, it's "Target ~Akai Shougeki", arguably the highest energy of Kouji Wada's songs.
Arguably its best use is in "Revenge of Diablomon", with its quick and smooth multi-evolution sequence and the scuffle with Armagemon.

* On a meta level, the delivery of Cody's parting words to Yukio Oikawa is the crowning moment of Creator/PhileceSampler[='=]s career.

** On the subject of Davis becoming a noodle cart owner, how well did that work out for him? Funny you should ask; he hit it big in America and is now a wealthy, world-famous entrepaneur. And he's ''still'' as chipper as he was in his youth.

** Win for TK; ''[[WhatAnIdiot Ken actually said yes.]]'' He basically consented to his own butt-kicking.

* In a way, despite how much of a mess 02 turned out to be plot-wise (due to all the ExecutiveMeddling and such in the background of the people making the show), the fact that it ended with a very ''mature'' lesson about how a dream doesn't have to be this grandiose thing, and that it's fine, and in fact, quite healthy to want something as simple as to run a noodle cart one day. Digimon Adventure 02 taught children about the value of simple dreams, things you can achieve realistically with a little work - and that's awesome.

* Yolei whacking [=LadyDevimon=] with the skateboard in episode 44 "Dark Sun, Dark Spore". To put it on perspective: this is a 12-year-old girl who can't fight with her own hands ''and'' is in a desperate situation and scared out of her wits, but she grabs what's left of her pluck ''and smacks a goddamn Ultimate level Digimon with a skateboard''. With only a skateboard as her weapon. She's obviously terrified and no one can blame her, but she still does what she can to help.

* Everyone of the DNA Digimon's introductions was totally awesome.

** Don't forget her RousingSpeech to the panicking, screaming Kari in the middle of the Sea of Darkness. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}. Yolei's pretty good at [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan hitting people]] as a means of motivation.

[[caption-width-right:350:Even in peril, Yolei doesn't hesitate to save life!]]

To put it on perspective: this is a 12-year-old girl who can't fight with her own hands ''and'' is in a desperate situation (and scared outta her wits), but she grabs what's left of her pluck ''and hits one of the most powerful Digimons in the series''. With only a skateboard as her weapon. She's obviously terrified and no one can blame her, but she still does what she can to help.

* A huge one for Matt. When Davis' sister shows up inviting herself to a camping trip because of her crush on Matt, he tells her to close her eyes and count to ten while he wraps a present, instead he gets his dad to drive away.

** Don't forget her RousingSpeech to the panicking, screaming Kari in the middle of the Sea of Darkness. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming. Yolei's pretty good at [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan hitting people]] as a means of motivation.

** His line to Davis in the ''Revenge Of Diaboromon'' counts as another CrowningMomentOfAwesome. When Davis is exhausted from running to Rainbow Bridge and can barely keep up, Ken turns around, smirks, and says, "Well, at this rate, you'll never get the [soccer] ball from me." Davis tells him to shut up and then starts running again. Apparently, Ken can still figure out how to persuade people into doing what he wants, even if he's not the Emperor anymore. Plus it's a cute FriendshipMoment.
** Ken's performance in the (cracky) drama CD "Michi E no Armor Shinka" is very impressive: Davis turns evil and the claims to be a new Digimon Emperor. Ken's voice drops to Emperor mode, and he starts to mock Davis, saying he can never be a true ruler of darkness. All the girls around squee at Ken's awesome evil performance, and Davis is shocked. It's also a CrowningMomentOfFunny.
* Mummymon. Throughout all of his appearances in the series, poor old Mummymon was a joke; he and Arukenimon were the [[GoldfishPoopGang "Jessie and James"]] of Digimon, so to speak. That is, until the end, when [[TheManBehindTheMan MaloMyotismon]] appears and brutally murders Arukenimon. In a fit sheer rage that his love had been destroyed, Mummymon almost TookALevelInBadass and attacked [=MaloMyotismon=] with all his strength, wrapping him in a Snake Bandage. The BigBad is not fazed however and easily breaks free, after a little taunting, Mummymon says two of the most [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] lines ever: "YOU DON'T SCARE ME, YOU'VE TAKEN AWAY MY ARUKENIMON, AND NOW I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO HER!!!!" and "THEN I WILL TEACH YOU TO FEAR ME!!" he then proceeds to fire an energy gun beam at [=MaloMyotismon=], who shrugged it off and with a simple reply of "Playtime's over" and a puff of red smoke, he melted Mummymon into nothingness. Rest in peace, Mummymon, rest knowing that at least your awesomeness was acknowledged.

** Wormmon gets another CrowningMomentOfAwesome during said real world battle with [=BlackWarGreymon=], calling him out on his self-pity when [=BlackWarGreymon=] claims that, aside from fighting, his life has no meaning.

* Ken overcoming his guilt inside the LotusEaterMachine in "Last Temptation of the Digi Destined", loudly and proudly declaring he's ''not'' the Digimon Emperor anymore. And then the other kids arrive to bust him out, assuring him he's their teammate and friend, and it crosses straight into [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]].
-->'''Cody:''' ...But we can't tell you that, you have to believe it for yourself!
-->'''Ken:''' (smiling from ear to ear) I ''do'' believe it!

** And let's not forget [[spoiler: Imperialdramon.]]
--> '''[[spoiler: Imperialdramon]]''': [[spoiler:''Imperialdramon!'']]
** Not to mention his SuperMode form [[spoiler: Imperialdramon Fighter Mode.]]

* When [[spoiler: Emperor Ken]] is finally defeated and has a VillainousBreakdown. Admit it, you kind of enjoyed it, since he was a colossal jerk. [[MoodWhiplash But]] [[TheWoobie then...]]

* Davis is basically the sole reason [[spoiler:[=MaloMyotismon=]]] was defeated...to quote WebVideo/JesuOtaku:

** Another one from the finale. Malomyotismon is using his power to cover the world in darkness and knock around the chosen children. Who saves them? No one, except for every digidestined child in the world using their digivices to pierce Malomystismon's darkness, surfing on beams of light to come to the digital world and back up the main cast. Is it awesome or is it AWESOME?
