* The Jailbreak. Technoblade abused the way that the alarm system isn't extended under the lava hallway between the entrance to Dream's cell and the water tunnel exit to enter the prison and make his way to Dream's cell, before completely ignoring all the alarms and just using TNT to bypass the mining fatigue, before fighting his way past Bad and Sam to get to the extra cells, allowing him to also break out Ranboo and [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Conner]]. The four of them were able to escape using the entrance Techno made into the prison and all of them escaped except for Ranboo.
** Awesam and Bad also get a [=CMOA=] when they use the time Techno and Dream are wasting to gather [[TheCavalry everyone else on the server]] to try and stop the breakout. They do also take Ranboo hostage in an attempt to get Dream to surrender, but it's [[LackOfEmpathy Dream]], and he just leaves, with Ranboo's death causing Techno to mark Awesam and Bad for revenge.
** Part of the Jailbreak is Techno, Dream, Conner, and Philza all riding horses to outrun a Wither that's chasing them.

They do also take Ranboo hostage in an attempt to get Dream to surrender, but it's [[LackOfEmpathy Dream]], and he just leaves, with Ranboo's death causing Techno to mark Awesam and Bad for revenge.

** The way he did it is awesome too. For context, [[TheStarscream Quackity]] got into an argument with Schlatt over him being a ControlFreak, as the latter tore down the White House, which Quackity had helped build. As [[BadBoss Schlatt]] belittled him and mentioned that he was on 2 and a half hearts and [[TemptingFate could be killed in one blow]], Quackity resigned as Vice President of Manburg and [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal shot Schlatt in the chest with a bow]] before leaving. And then there's also their [[UnequalPairing volatile]] [[DomesticAbuse engage]][[TilMurderDoUsPart ment]] to bear in mind, which means the entire situation can be equated to getting out of an abusive relationship.

*** When Phil warned Techno over whisper that the Butcher Army was on their way, Techno immediately started brewing potions, gathering supplies and prepping for a fight. Even with five minutes notice, Techno still managed to gather enough items to win a 1 VS 4 battle, killing two of his opponents until Quackity put a stop to the fight by threatening his horse.

---->'''Bad:''' [[VillainousBreakdown We're not going to allow you to stop this plan!]] We still outnumber you! It's four against three!
---->'''Puffy:''' ''(throws down a potion of strength at her feet)'' [[LetsGetDangerous Not for long!]] ANTFROST, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge YOU'RE DEAD!]] [...] YOU'VE [[GoodIsNotSoft TAKEN MY KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS]], [[PreMortemOneLiner ANTFROST!]]

* Eryn manages to get one [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome before even joining the SMP]]... by allegedly ''[[AndShowItToYou ripping somebody's heart out]]''. ''With his bare hands.'' Considering how bright-red his sleeve is, one would wonder how recently it happened before he joined. What makes it even ''more'' awesome is that Eryn is currently the ''youngest'' member of the server--even Tommy, who was previously the youngest, is a few months older than them, and this can all but solidify that the Dream SMP is a WorldOfBadass.

** "I hope you starve!"

-->'''Sapnap:''' ''(almost sneeringly)'' So [Dream and Tommy] are going into [[InsistentTerminology Manburg]]?
-->'''Dream:''' ''[[ShutUpHannibal L']]''[[ShutUpHannibal Manburg]].

And then there's also their [[UnequalPairing volatile]] [[DomesticAbuse engage]][[TilMurderDoUsPart ment]] to bear in mind, which means the entire situation can arguably be equated to getting out of an abusive relationship.

* Techno's speeches. He's an English major in real life, and you can absolutely tell that with the detail and intensity he manages to work into every speech. Special mention should go to his speech about Theseus, which was not only one of the most intense moments in the server's history, but -- according to Philza -- was also ''entirely improvised''.

* After weeks of psychological abuse, and the complete destruction of Logstedshire, Tommy is pushed to the brink, [[DrivenToSuicide towering up to build limit]] while lamenting how alone he is... Then slowly, very slowly, realizes just what Dream has been doing to him.

--->'''Tommy:''' ''SHUT UP, EVERYONE, SHUT THE '''FUCK''' UP!'' Alright?! We have a ''day!'' I'm s-- Tubbo, we can resolve whatever we have, everyone, sorry about that dog I just killed, sorry about every- every shit thing I've done. And you should all be sorry for every shit thing YOU'VE done, I've been in EX-- No, this isn't the time. Wh- ''(sigh)'' You know Dream. I saw he built a- a PRISON over there, I don't know what's happening here, I've been gone, and ''none'' of you, NONE of you came to see me. But this isn't... This isn't about that. This is about L'Manburg. And probably the rest... of the SMP, I- I- If they're really coming on at 3 PM tomorrow... Then I dunno about you all, but I'm not gonna say my goodbyes. I'm gonna ''prepare''.

** Jack Manifold also gets points for being the ''second'' person to come close to killing Techno. With worse gear than him, Jack [[BrassBalls challenges Techno to a duel]] and manages to bring Techno down to ''about half health'' before [[DyingMomentOfAwesome suffering fatal injuries]] and eventually succumbing to them... and then ''he [[EscapedFromHell drags himself out of the Afterlife]] [[ResurrectionRevenge out of sheer rage and vengefulness]], giving himself all three lives back in the process''. Although this ends up kick-starting his spiral, Jack, one of the resident ButtMonkey{{s}} on the server, manages to get himself a DyingMomentOfAwesome before becoming the UrExample of BackFromTheDead in the Dream SMP universe.

* Quackity's the first person to ever use Elytra in the SMP with his lore stream. Yes, ''before Philza Minecraft''.

* Although Quackity left L'Manburg after this confrontation, he eventually [[EurekaMoment has an epiphany]] after reading Ranboo's memory book (which Dream had used as proof for Ranboo's 'disloyalty' to L'Manburg) and ''[[HesBack returns to L'Manburg]]'' to fight Dream and his tyranny in the Doomsday War. The first time he charges into the battlefield, he's completely unarmoured and has to rely on others to lend him supplies.

*** And ''why'' he decided to fight Techno head-on? He saw Quackity die non-canonically in the in-game chat[[note]]albeit for mostly unrelated reasons (slipping off a ledge and falling)[[/note]], just after he entered the battlefield.

*** For context, Sapnap, with some [[FriendlyFire help from the Withers]], manages to bring Techno down to below half health. Momentarily, Techno even managed to reach ''one and a half hearts'', i.e. one more sword blow or explosion away from death, before he started healing up.

With worse gear than him, Jack [[BrassBalls challenges Techno to a duel]] and manages to bring Techno down to ''about half health'' before [[DyingMomentOfAwesome suffering fatal injuries and eventually succumbing to them]].

** And L'Manburg wasn't ''completely'' incompetent. They took out many of Techno's attack dogs and Phil's Withers. But special credit must go to Sapnap, being the first person ever to even come ''close'' to killing Technoblade, [[MythologyGag almost reflecting how far he's come in Dream's Manhunts]].

* Purpled burning the Manburg shield he was gifted and joining Pogtopia for the final battle of the season.

*** When Phil warned Techno over whisper that the Butcher's Army was on their way, Techno immediately started brewing potions, gathering supplies and prepping for a fight. Even with five minutes notice, Techno still managed to gather enough items to win a 1 VS 4 battle, killing two of his opponents until Quackity put a stop to the fight by threatening his horse.

* After discovering Tommy hiding in his basement, Techno invites him to join him in destroying L'Manburg, with the promise that Techno will help him get his discs back. When Tommy agrees, Techno leads Tommy around the back of his house, saying that despite swearing off violence, he's been indulging in a little... hobby. Techno then pushes a button, and the side of the mountain slides open, revealing a room covered ''wall to wall'' in ''Wither Skulls.''

--->'''Techno:''' Well, that's gonna be a bit of a problem, Dream. ''(steps in front of Tommy)'' Because this guy's with ''me.''

* Tubbo standing up to Quackity to stop him from having Ranboo executed for treason, a fierce reminder of what happened during the Manburg Festival and proving that Tubbo has not become "the next Schlatt".

** After the war, Ghostbur [[CallingTheOldManOut calls out Philza]] for his role in the Doomsday War and how his attempt at [[WellIntentionedExtremist well-intentioned extremism]] ruined others' lives. The ex-L'Manburgians' lament on the first anniversary of L'Manburg gaining independence seven months later only reinforces this.

---->'''Tommy:''' You know what, you son of a bitch, you told me ''everything''. You said I'm too important to kill. Even now, you're not gonna- You're not gonna fuckin' kill me. You don't have the ''guts.'' ''(digs a hole)'' [[MeaningfulEcho Put your armour in the hole]]. Everything on you, ''there.''

'''Tommy:''' Dream... You have caused me nothing but pain. And now... ''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner Now it's YOUR turn.]]'' ''(kills Dream with the Axe of Peace as everyone exclaims in shock)'' Where is he? [...] Dream, I'm gonna kill you, until you're ''[[KilledOffForReal dead]]''.

* Bad tries to get the Egg to influence Techno by being a tempting voice in his head. Unfortunately for the Egg, Techno's head is already very full of [[HearingVoices The Voices]] from [[VoiceOfTheLegion his chat]], which [[NoSell drowns out the Egg]].

---->'''Bad:''' WE HIRED YOU TO-- TO TAKE OUT PUFFY, AND YOU ''JOIN THE ENEMY SIDE?!''\\

* Doubles as Heartwarming. On February 16th 2021, Ranboo went live for about five hours. During that time, he gained over ''18,000'' subscribers, breaking ''six'' subgoals, and becoming the ''fourth most subscribed Twitch streamer of ALL TIME!'' Ranboo not only started crying TearsOfJoy live on stream, but changed his channel description from "Just a guy trying to do something", to "Just a guy doing something".

* During the actual Manburg vs. Pogtopia FinalBattle:
** Phil's arrival onto the server to stop Wilbur.

** Tommy, now with the realization that Dream was only trying to keep him from fighting back, decides he's no longer going to stay under Dream's thumb, and ''leaves Logstedshire'', running off to the north to hide, gear up, and get his discs back. After all the torment and trauma he's been through, [[HesBack Tommy is back]].

* The Season 2 finale was ''incredible.''

-->'''Sapnap (almost sneeringly)''': So [Dream and Tommy] are going into [[InsistentTerminology Manburg]]?
-->'''Dream''': ''[[ShutUpHannibal L']]''[[ShutUpHannibal Manburg]].
* Quackity, after having put up with Jschlatt's bullshit for so long, ''[[HeelFaceTurn joined Pogtopia]].''

* Techno's speeches. He's an English major in real life, and you can absolutely tell that with the detail and intensity he manages to work into every speech. Special mention should go to his speech about Theseus, which was not only one of the most intense moments in the server's history, but -- according to Philza -- was also ''entirely improvised.''

*** As Techno is trying to escape, he winds up in the Final Control Room, desperately trying to widen the tunnel to get his horse, Carl, through to the other side. Quackity confronts him there, and after a brief shouting match, the two get into a fight. Quackity has full Netherite with Protection IV and a diamond axe, while Techno has potions, unenchanted iron armor, and a Netherite [[ImprobableWeaponUser pick]][[PowerfulPick axe]]... and Techno ''wins.''

** When Tommy and Tubbo confront Dream, he taunts them by pillaring up with obsidian, sealing a jukebox in obsidian and putting Mellohi in, letting it play. Tommy starts asking Dream why he asked them to come there, why he's doing any of this... While Tubbo sneaks up behind Dream and whacks him off the pillar. Tubbo then continues holding Dream off while Tommy mines the obsidian and grabs Mellohi from the jukebox. What follows is a fight much like the early days of the Disc War, with Tommy and Tubbo desperately pillaring up while trying to avoid Dream, while looking for an ender chest to put the disc into.
*** Really, Dream should get some credit too. Tommy and Tubbo manage to hold him off, and the fight seems fairly balanced... Until Dream reveals he hasn't used his potions yet, and hasn't even really been trying. Once he actually starts fighting for real, he's got Tubbo backed into a corner begging for his life within ''seconds.'' He then successfully blackmails both of them into giving up all of their items... before revealing that ''the Mellohi-disc was a fake.''

--->'''Punz:''' [[HeelFaceTurn I'm sorry, Dream. But you should've paid me more.]]

'''Tommy:''' Dream... You have caused me nothing but pain. And now... ''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner Now it's YOUR turn.]]'' ''(kills Dream with the Axe of Peace as everyone exclaims in shock)'' Where is he? [...] Dream, I'm gonna kill you, until you're ''[[KilledOffForReal dead]].''

-->'''Sam:''' I AM SAM NOOK... I SHALL BE TAKING THESE CHILDREN WITH ME... THEY ARE UNDER MY PROTECTION...
** What follows is a chase scene that's as harrowing as it is awesome. Tommy, in a moment of ingenuity, splashes Bad and Ant with a Turtle Master potion to slow them down, then waits until both Tubbo and Sam are in the tunnel leading out before plugging it up with obsidian. Tubbo covers the top of the bubble elevator with magma blocks as the three of them get back to the surface, and from there it's a dead sprint towards the Holy Land, with Bad and Ant hot on their heels, and Ant even taking a shortcut to try and cut them off.

---->'''Bad:''' We're not going to allow you to stop this plan! We still out number you! It's four against three!

** Foolish's [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech speech to the Eggpire]] was nothing to sneeze at either.

!! Season Zero

-->'''Sapnap (almost sneeringly)''': "So [Dream and Tommy] are going into [[InsistentTerminology Manburg]]?"
-->'''Dream''': "''[[ShutUpHannibal L']]''[[ShutUpHannibal Manburg]]."

** A villainous example. Dream and Techno realize that their plans to destroy L'Manburg align pretty well... and with Tommy defecting from him, Techno decides that there's no time like the present to ''[[RivalsTeamUp team up with Dream]] [[VillainTeamUp to turn L'Manburg into a chunk error]]''. To further ramp up the awesome factor, they make it clear that even with L'Manburg supposedly outnumbering them by a couple dozen fighters they're gonna make the nation ''work'' to eke out even the smallest of victories. Bad guys or not, it's hard to say that Dream and Techno teaming up hasn't been one of the most anticipated moments in the SMP so far.

!! Season Three

** Foolish's speech to the Eggpire was nothing to sneeze at either.

!! Meta

** Tubbo and Tommy, armed to the teeth, follow the compass into the wilderness... until they end up in a ''Shattered Savanna''. Arguably the coolest terrain generation in all of Minecraft, as set dressing for the final fight.
