History Awesome / DigimonFrontier

* Despite all the flak it usually gets, the season has quite a few [=CMoA=]... Namely, the heroes defeating the Royal Knights, after having made progress after painful progress in previous fights during the latest 10 or so episodes -- they went from not even being able to touch them, to giving them a little pause, to actually harming them, and finally to defeating them both. And then, the final battle against the all-powerful Lucemon himself, with moons getting ripped apart by the villain's unimaginable power; Kouichi's sacrifice, the birth of Susanoomon, and the five kids joining together to destroy Lucemon's [[OneWingedAngel Satan Mode]].
** ''Nothing'' could erase Takuya and Koji reducing everyone else to living {{Transformation Trinket}}s... but Frontier did have some great moments, like Mercurymon's XanatosGambit, Duskmon and Beowulfmon's grand battle, all ten Legendary Warriors coming together to put a beatdown on the Royal Knights, and ''Gotsumon'' of all 'mons (for non-fans...Gotsumon is a kid-sized rock Digimon and not ''anyone's'' idea of badass, even though the ''Frontier'' version has a few tricks his short-lived ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Adventure]]'' counterpart didn't.) gets to digivolve and [[LetsGetDangerous get dangerous]].

** They turn it around on him by becoming Susanoomon, who according to the above math, is a Mega x10! That's probably the highest [[PowerLevels Power Level]] yet seen in the franchise.
* Agunimon stepping off the Dark!Trailmon after returning from the real world determined to rescue his friends.
** Just before that, Flamemon digivolving into Agunimon aboard the Trailmon.

* Episode 20; the battle against Petaldramon when the heroes get their act together.

* Takuya Defeating Mercurymon in "Darkness Before the Dawn"; after Fusion Evolving he effortlessly shrugs off the Strike of the Seven Stars (Mercurymon's strongest attack), causing Mercurymon to lose his cool for the first time in the series, before backing the guy up against the coffin he had mockingly made for Takuya and wiping the floor with him.

* Episode 40; Angemon taking on a herd of angry Centarumon by himself in a good example of the OneManArmy trope.

* Episode 47; The final defeat of the Royal Knights, long overdue.

* Agunimon stepping off the dark trailmon after returning from the real world determined to rescue his friends.

* Underneath [[SpotlightStealingSquad all the]] [[Franchise/PowerRangers season]] [[SeasonalRot backlash]], Anime/DigimonFrontier is just badass:

** A moment for the villains; in the original Japanese, when Mercuremon became Black/Shadow Seraphimon, the music that played when he was beating up Takuya was ''Requiem''. Fans of series get a really threatening villain, and fans of Anime/DigimonAdventure can imagine that it is Omegamon/Omnimon who is doing the beating.

* [=IceDevimon=]'s voice. Frontier may be the closest we will ever get to Christopher Walken voicing an anime character. Unless you count ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars''' dub several years later.

** The following episode is all awesome, it turns out the entire Sakkakumon arc was a plot by Mercurymon where he had the protagonists fight while he recorded and copied all their attacks, becoming immune to them. Even though he didn't count on losing when he absorbed Seraphimon's data, it still worked to his advantage before because even Aldamon couldn't slow him down anymore. But as he's so certain he'll win, he starts to take the moment to torment them after chasing them into a dark cave, and it nearly works as he drives them into a panic, while enjoying every second of. Takuya, stepping up the to plate does a GetAHoldOfYourselfMan and they focus on fighting Sakkakumon, and noticing them throwing attacks hitting each other caused them to mix their attack together, has them throw those at Sakkakumon. Sakkakuumon, whom prior could NoSell any attack used on him, finds himself completely defenseless being hit by attacks that haven't been used before, with the tide turning against him prompting an epic VillainousBreakdown. He tries to boast that he'll still win and throws attacks at Takuya, who non nonchalantly dodges them and mocks Sakkakumon on they're not afraid anymore, Sakkakumon is the one whose afraid.

* Despite all the flak it usually gets, the season has quite a few [=CMoA=]... Namely, the heroes defeating the Royal Knights, after having made progress after painful progress in previous fights during the latest 10 or so episodes -- they went from not even being able to touch them, to giving them a little pause, to actually harming them, and finally to defeating them both. And then, the final battle against the all-powerful Lucemon himself, with moons getting ripped apart by the villain's unimaginable power; Kouichi's sacrifice, the birth of Susanoomon, and the five kids joining together to destroy Lucemon's [[OneWingedAngel Satan Mode]]. The only other season with an equally epic ending is ''Anime/DigimonSavers!''

** A Digimon that truly inherited the "Spirit of Darkness" of the legendary Ten Warriors. As with Duskmon, the "Spirit of Darkness" was changed into its Velgrmon form due to Cherubimon's spell, but Kaiser Leomon is its true form released from this magical power. It is called the "Jet-black Lion", and its body is covered in a unique metal which shines jet-black and is called "Obsidian Digizoid", a kind of Chrome Digizoid. For that reason, not only is its defensive ability high, but its body armor has a keen sharpness. It is said that after Kaiser Leomon runs through, everything will be cut to pieces by the first gust of that black wind.

* Episode 43; before there battle gets started, Skullsatamon chucks a giant chunk of rock at EmperorGreymon's face, and he doesn't flinch or say a thing about it, ignoring the taunting, he just stays focused on the fight.

* Underneath [[SpotlightStealingSquad all the]] [[PowerRangers season]] [[SeasonalRot backlash]], Anime/DigimonFrontier is just badass:

* [=IceDevimon=]'s voice. Frontier may be the closest we will ever get to Christopher Walken voicing an anime character.
* Don't forget the V-Tamer cameo chapter! Metamormon has completely demolished AeroVeedramon AND BurningGreymon. What does Takuya do? He converts to Agunimon (BurningGreymon's previous, less powerful form) long enough to get copied, then Slide Evolves and punches. ONE. HIT. KILL.

* Episode 33; Loewemon and [=JaegerLoewemon=] are able to take down a Cherubimon projection which the rest of the team couldn't stop it even when working together. He tackles [=IceDevimon=] with the same attack in a later episode.

* Duskmon in general is a pretty credible threat, with most of his battles being either a HopelessBossFight or an evenly matched affair. Really, the only reason that he ever loses in the end is that [[spoiler:Kouichi's memories of being a human and wanting to meet Kouji are eating away at his ability to fight]].

* Episode 49; One word [[spoiler: Susanoomon]]. Not only does he show up to kick ass once. He does it ''again'' later.
* Episode 50; When things are looking really grim. [[spoiler:All the digimon spirits and the celestials show up to give the kids hope and a pep talk.]]
* The crowing moment has to be when the "final" form of the BigBad attacks the gang from behind. [[spoiler:All of the Legendary Warriors appear and vanquish him for the last time.]]
* Despite all the flak it usually gets, the season has quite a few [=CMoA=]... Namely, [[spoiler:the heroes defeating the Royal Knights, after having made progress after painful progress in previous fights during the latest 10 or so episodes -- they went from not even being able to touch them, to giving them a little pause, to actually harming them, and finally to defeating them both. And then, the final battle against the all-powerful Lucemon himself, with moons getting ripped apart by the villain's unimaginable power; Kouichi's sacrifice, the birth of Susanoomon, and the five kids joining together to destroy Lucemon's [[OneWingedAngel Satan Mode]]. The only other season with an equally epic ending is ''Anime/DigimonSavers!'']]

** Everything about the Kouji/Kouichi plot, which was foreshadowed as early as in ''episode two'' was amazing. The Crowning Moment of Awesome of THIS Crowning Moment of Awesome was when [[spoiler:Kouichi sacrificed himself to save the Digital World and almost freaking died in the process.]] Dark plots and Digimon go hand in hand perfectly.

* Lucemon's first appearance. He shows up and [[spoiler: kills the Royal Knights, who have been beating the crap out of the heroes for the past 10-15 episodes, with ease.]] Then he ''{{No Sell}}s two Mega level attacks'' and proceeds [[spoiler: to smash a moon in half '''with Takuya and Kouji's heads!!!''']] Keep in mind that the mathematics of the spirits makes it even more major: Each Human[=/=]Beast pair of spirits came from a Mega level Ancient Digimon. Logically, that makes their combined strength equal to a Mega (Human=Champion, Beast=Ultimate). Emperorgreymon and Magnagarurumon are each composed of ''5'' pairs of spirits, making them ''Mega x5!'', So when Lucemon so easily pwned them, he was stronger than ''that'', and he was "just" a Perfect/Ultimate.

* @/JusticeGundam's favourite season, despite all the flak it usually gets, has quite a few [=CMoA=]... but the last few episodes were what really got him to favor it. Namely, [[spoiler:the heroes defeating the Royal Knights, after having made progress after painful progress in previous fights during the latest 10 or so episodes -- they went from not even being able to touch them, to giving them a little pause, to actually harming them, and finally to defeating them both. And then, the final battle against the all-powerful Lucemon himself, with moons getting ripped apart by the villain's unimaginable power; Kouichi's sacrifice, the birth of Susanoomon, and the five kids joining together to destroy Lucemon's [[OneWingedAngel Satan Mode]], which in this troper's mind erased all the disappointment of Takuya and Kouji hogging the spotlight in the second half. The only other season with an equally epic ending is ''Anime/DigimonSavers!'']]

** A moment for the villains; in the original Japanese, when Mercuremon became Black/Shadow Seraphimon, the music that played when he was beating up Takuya was ''Requiem''. Fans of series get a really threatening villain, and fans of Anime/DigimonAdventure can imagine that it is omegamon/omnimon who is doing the beating.

** They turn it around on him by becoming Susanoomon, who according to the above math, is a Mega x10! That's probably the highest [[PowerLevels Power Level]] yet seen in the franchise. How strong is Susanoomon? ''[[SerialEscalation He's officially classed as a Super Ultimate, an honor which neither Omnimon, Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, Gallantmon Crimson Mode or ShineGreymon Burst Mode can boast of having.]]''
* Izumi's is when she got in front of a mirror and modeled/envisioned herself in skimpy bathing suits only two or three episodes before winning an eating contest. ''[[GratuitousEnglish Sexy dynamite!]]'' Lolicon fanservice implications aside, girls, ''that'' is what I call a positive body image!

** Mercuremon. Between taking out Seraphimon and using Seraphimon's own attack against him Mercurymon leaves the other Dark Legendary Warriors still standing at the starting line.

** The following episode is all awesome, it turns out the entire Sakkakumon arc was a plot by Mercurymon where he had the protagonists fight while he recorded and copied all their attacks, becoming immune to them. Even though he didn't count on losing when he absorbed Seraphimon's data, it still worked to his advantage before because even Aldamon couldn't slow him down anymore. But as he's so certain he'll win, he starts to take the moment to torment them after chasing them into a dark cave, and it nearly works as he drives them into a panic, while enjoying every second of. Takuya, stepping up the to plate does a GetAHoldOfYourselfMan and they focus on fighting Sakkakumon, and noticing them throwing attacks hitting each other caused them to mix their attack together, has them throw those at Sakkakumon. Sakkuumon, whom prior could NoSell any attack used on him, finds himself completely defenseless being hit by attacks that haven't been used before, with the tide turning against him prompting an epic VillainousBreakdown. He tries to boast that he'll still win and throws attacks at Takuya, who non nonchalantly dodges them and mocks Sakkaumon on they're not afraid anymore, Sakkumon is the one whose afraid.

* Mercuremon. Between taking out Seraphimon and using Seraphimon's own attack against him Mercurymon leaves the other Dark Legendary Warriors still standing at the starting line.
* Ranamon as well. Finally mastering her Beast Spirit and her ultimate attack, that she failed twice before and put Izumi to serious disadvantage.

** Izumi/Zoey got hers during the same arc. She eats an apple that makes her relive her issues with making friends after moving back to Japan, while Ranamon gives her a BreakingSpeech. Who breaks her out of her spell? Not the [=HoneyBeemon=], not her teammates. Instead, she breaks ''herself'' out of the spell by simply vowing that she will make up for her flaws and become kinder and stronger! [[PluckyGirl Now that's a strong will!]]

* Episode 22; Kumamon catching Takuya in midair, with one hand. "Sweet grab", indeed.

* Takuya Defeating Mercurymon in "Darkness Before the Dawn"; after Fusion Evolving he effortlessly shrugs off the Strike of the Seven Stars (Mercurymon's strongest attack), causing Mercurymon to loose his cool for the first time in the series, before backing the guy up against the coffin he had mockingly made for Takuya and wiping the floor with him.
