* Once your characters level enough, let them loose on enemy units. ''Laugh'' as they are destroyed one by one by one.
* When Elincia asks for Begnion's support in her efforts to reclaim the Crimean throne, Sanaki questions Elincia's royal status and asks her for evidence that she doesn't have and denies Ike's word on it as he is not a noble. When Sanaki reveals she knew all along of Elincia's status and that she was only toying with them for her personal amusement, and the Begnion senators laugh in amusement at Sanaki's actions, Ike does ''not'' take well to this at all, and has [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech some choice words]] to say to Sanaki and the Begnion senators:
-->'''Ike''': What is the meaning of this? You knew Elincia was Princess Crimea? And you continued to humiliate her for your own entertainment? For some stupid game of wits and words? This is no joke! [...] Elincia's homeland is lost to her! Her family has been hunted down and killed by the monsters of Daein! And with nowhere else to turn, she endures mortal danger and terrible heartbreak to reach your door. And then you... you laugh at her?! Where is the humor in that? Where is your decency? You're horrible! You are all horrid people! You disgust me beyond words! And you owe Elincia a proper apology.
** And even before that, he has this to say when Sanaki denies Ike's vouching for Elincia's claim to be the Crimean Princess because he is not a noble:
-->'''Ike''': I am neither a noble nor a knight. I have no connection with the palace whatsoever. And no matter how much gold I stood to gain, I would not betray my convictions. Elincia has paid us, yes, but nothing more than the standard fee to purchase our services as her escort. Nothing more. We have come this far only because we believe Elincia to be a woman of integrity. We would not sell our swords to a liar. I don't care how high and mighty you might be. I will not stand here and let you mock the bond of trust that ties us to Elincia.
* When [[spoiler:the judgement-hungry KnightTemplar goddess Ashera]] refuses the LastSecondChance, Ike points Ragnell directly in their face and says:
-->'''Ike:''' Then we will fight... and we will save our people. [[spoiler:Make your peace with whatever the gods worship.]] Your end is near.
-->[[spoiler:'''Ashera''']]''':''' My end...is near?
-->'''Ike:''' In every battle that mattered in my life, I've always been the one left standing, no matter how slim my chances. This battle means more than any of the others, because it's for the life of every person that I've ever cared about. [[BadassBoast I will win this fight.]]
** Soon after, [[spoiler:he proceeds to (with good goddess Yune's power) deliver the final blow and kill a god]]. Complete with AssKickingPose.
* In ''Path of Radiance'', Marcia, whose older brother Makalov's debts, gambling, and general [[TheScrappy Scrappyness]] had caused her to quit her job, fight pirates, and fly all over the country to try to find him. And what does she say to him when she finally finds him and he pathetically tries to talk his way out of it? ''"STUFF IT, SPONGE-BRAIN!!! NO MORE LAME EXCUSES!!! FOLLOW ME!!! NOW!!!"''
** Marcia also has a scene where she intends to fight off an entire troop of wyvern knights ''by herself'' to protect Elincia, Leanne, and Nealuchi (a queen, princess, and princess' royal retainer respectively), and spouts a constant stream of insults at them the entire time. She even manages to yell at Haar in the midst of the battle to make him help her.
* Elincia in ''Radiant Dawn'' [[spoiler:has the confidence to lay down her weapon in between two warring armies just to prove a point]].
* Kieran: Just...[[IncomingHam Kieran.]]
** "I just need to pull this axe out of my head here... [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Whooo, that's sharp!]]"
* Naesala's first appearance in ''[=PoR=]'', or saving Leanne and Nealuchi from Skrimir in ''RD''...
* Black Knight ''is'' a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in and of himself, especially when [[spoiler:he joins Micaiah's party early on in ''Radiant Dawn'', as a ''playable character'', making for one hell of a WhamEpisode]].
* Ilyana enacting vengeance upon the prison guards who captured her and Aimee, for feeding her nothing but scraps. "I must have vengeance!"
* Ranulf surviving two fights with [[spoiler:the Black Knight]].
* Any time Stefan gets a conversation with a boss, he sounds more like he should be the boss instead.
** To the boss of Chapter 19: "If that's all the skill you have, sheathe your blade. You're not ready to challenge me." (cue total ownage)
** ''Radiant Dawn'', chapter 4-3:
--->'''[[spoiler:Numida]]:''' Wh-who are you?
--->'''Stefan:''' I am the desert, and I brook no intrusion. Make peace with your goddess.
* Bastian [[OutGambitted Out-Gambitting]] Ludveck, whose [[ThePlan gambit]] was ''the entire focus of Part 2''.
* Sanaki's conversation with a certain subordinate near the end of the game... Doubles as a Funny Moment.
--> '''Sanaki:''' You are my subordinate, after all. I've decided that [[spoiler:leaving one's empress to die]] is punishable by drowning in a pool of rancid butter.
--> [[spoiler:'''Sephiran/Lehran''']]''':''' Of course it is, my empress.
--> '''Sanaki:''' I hope you're a strong swimmer.
* Leanne is the cause of one when she arrives in Crimea in Part 2 of ''Radiant Dawn''. Paraphrasing the narration: "The Crimean nobles don't like how Elincia welcomes the Heron Princess to court so readily, but they know that if they say anything Tibarn and Naesala will tear them apart, so they shut up about it."
* The end of Part 2, involving the Greil Mercenaries' BigDamnHeroes return to rescue Lucia from execution.
* Kurthnaga's BigDamnHeroes moment at the end of 3-13, levelling a ''castle'' with a single attack to provoke a ceasefire.
* Vantage combined with Wrath and Resolve. Basically, if a character has all of these skills and ends up in a ''really'' bad situation, they turn into a OneManArmy.
* Whenever a [[BadassPacifist heron]] manages to get a kill in Radiant Dawn with a magic card.
* Soren gets a few:
** Repeatedly mouthing off at the [[BloodKnight battle-thirsty]] lion laguz general and [[spoiler:future king of the beast tribe]] Skrimir, knowing that the latter respects him and can't win the war without him.
** If he fights Micaiah during Part 3, chapter 7, he outright insults her. Note that, while [[JeanneDArchetype Micaiah]] is '''not''' evil, everyone treats her with much more sympathy [[MyCountryRightOrWrong than her concrete actions elicit]], and he Meteors her. In the face. Usually twice. Best yet, performing this SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome is one of the steps to unlocking a secret ending scene.
--->'''Soren:''' "Do not presume to understand me, you ridiculous girl."
** Soren essentially makes all the strategic decisions in relation to Ike's army, which means he has a direct hand in bringing down Ashnard, [[spoiler:his own father]].
** He gets a big one in his backstory. He manages to [[spoiler:[[IWillFindYou find someone he has only seen once in his life who didn't even stay in the same country, by himself, as a little boy]]]]. Both for the resolve to see it through, and the fact that it actually worked.
* In ''Path of Radiance'', Leanne and Reyson restore the forest ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYkb7vKsSM8 by singing]]''.
* Reyson [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uwt-6mJiRM ''punches'' his captor, Oliver, despite being a ''pacifist'' Heron!]] You ''literally'' can hear the "Smack" his punch makes during the dialog.
** And to make this scene even more awesome? His comments about the event to Ike later in the game in their Level B Support conversation:
---> '''Reyson:''' When I bashed Duke Tanas's face, he only suffered a bloody nose, but it cracked the bones in the back of my hand.
---> '''Ike:''' Holy...
---> '''Reyson:''' Indeed.
---> '''Ike:''' ...But it felt good, right?
---> '''Reyson:''' Oh, yeah.
* ''Radiant Dawn'' also managed to do one via an elaborate bait and switch. The player spends most of the first two parts of the game controlling Micaiah's efforts with the Dawn Brigade and Elincia's attempt to keep ahold of her throne, respectively. And while a lot of familiar faces are seen, there's several questions at times about where Ike and the Greil Mercenaries are, as Elincia would ask for their help if she could ''find'' them. In the end, she deals with it on her terms, captures the traitorous Duke Ludvick, and imprisons him, only for him to try to talk his way out of it [[HostageSituation by trying to ransom off Elincia's foster sister and bodyguard Lucia]], who he'd captured earlier, by [[PublicExecution literally presenting her ready to be hanged outside the walls of Elincia's castle]]. [[SadisticChoice To accept is to doom her authority as Queen of Crimea for all time, but to refuse is to condemn Lucia, her closest friend, to death.]] Everyone knows this, and even Lucia tells Elincia not to throw everything away for her sake. Elincia doesn't, and is about to watch Lucia die for her... [[BigDamnHeroes when the Greil Mercenaries show up out of NOWHERE]], save Lucia, proceed to trash Ludveck's remaining forces around the scaffolding, and generally [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6bvtisvtBU remind everyone just why they were the badasses that helped win the last war]] in a brilliant introductory moment that wouldn't have worked half as well if they'd been there from day one.
** The sequence as a whole is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Lucia. The poor battered-looking young woman remains defiant to the end as she declares her loyalty to Elincia moments before she is to be hanged. Lucia's response to Elincia's decision to sacrifice her for the good of the country? "[[FaceDeathWithDignity Hah!]]"
** Similarly, the scene beforehand is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask for Elincia]] [[TheHighQueen as a queen]], because she made the hard choice to let her beloved friend Lucia die ''not knowing'' all of this was about to happen.
** And [[GambitRoulette hiring the Greil Mercenaries to do this and then leaving Crimea to let it all happen]] was a major SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Bastian. Since the majority of Part 2 focused on Ludveck's ability to strategize, seeing the whole thing get wiped out in one move by Bastian was astonishing, especially as Bastian's tactical prowess had until that point been an InformedAbility.
* Practically anything Haar does or says.
--> '''Haar''': Why couldn't you just stay on patrol? Saw a pretty little heron and just had to have her, is that it? I could never decide if you were more greedy or more corrupt. Stupid was never in the question, though.\\
'''Zeffren''': Who do you think you are?! You're a traitor, just like Shiharam! The dracoknights spit on your name!\\
'''Haar''': ... Do they now? Well, here's your chance to try the real thing.
** How about the fact that once he becomes a dragonlord (which can happen on the last part of the second chapter), he ends up nigh on invincible. topped off with about a 30% chance of unleashing stun (3X damage and paralysis), plus huge strength, defence and killer axe, he kills all in seconds... whilst half-asleep.
** Haar is so awesome that when he re-recruits Jill in the midst of a heated battle where they are on opposite sides, she's ''swooning'' near the end of his speech.
** Haar's conversation with Levail in the Tower of Guidance gives [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Moments of Awesome]] for both of them.
--> '''Levail''': He is the last true knight. I will die for him.\\
'''Haar''': [[PreMortemOneLiner Yes, Levail. You will.]]\\
'''Levail''': How I dreamed of fighting a proper foe! I am honoured, Sir Haar! Have at you!
* Tauroneo's exchange with the Mad King Ashnard is a brilliant and particularly poignant illustration of the man's character and is severely reminiscent of General Duessel, the Obsidian, from ''The Sacred Stones''.
--> '''Ashnard:''' Is that you, Tauroneo? As I thought... You betrayed me after all.\\
'''Tauroneo:''' ...\\
'''Ashnard:''' In my father's time, there was a man who was one of the Four Steadfast Riders. That man grew old and useless, and retired from the front lines. How does his story end, you ask? Come, let us write it together.\\
'''Tauroneo:''' Oh, my king... In all of Daein's history, perhaps no other ruler has used the talents at his command to the degree you have... But all the same, no other king has chosen a path so incredibly stupid.\\
'''Ashnard:''' Heh heh heh... Will history judge me to be just or evil? We will not know until all of this is finished.\\
'''Tauroneo:''' ...Now that I've confronted you and traded words with you, I have come to a decision. Throughout Daein, I, Tauroneo, will be known as the king killer. Come! Let me earn my name!
* When Lucia and Bastian have resigned to leaving Geoffrey behind as a decoy, Elincia refuses to stand for it. Lucia orders Ike to lead Elincia to safety, and he adamantly refuses. His reasoning? He still has a contract with Elincia personally as a mercenary, and is thus insistent upon doing the mission to save Geoffrey that even Geoffrey himself and his own sister believe is not worth it. The fact that Elincia and Geoffrey can get married in the sequel makes it ''well'' worth his trouble.
* Sothe getting promoted to Whisper by Yune. He seriously says he feels great — so great he could arm wrestle with [[HotBlooded Skrimir.]]
* Most of the boss dialogues in Part 4, especially against [[MadScientist Izuka]].
** [[BewareTheNiceOnes Zihark]] is a great example for those aware of [[InterspeciesRomance his past]].
--> '''Zihark:''' …She always told me not to let anger and hatred get the best of me, not to let them guide my blade… [[TranquilFury This will be my only exception]].
** Bastian outright says he would ''dissect Izuka's brain'' to find a possible cure for [[spoiler:Renning]].
--> '''Izuka:''' [[OhCrap Y-you monster! What you suggest is unconscionable!]]
--> '''Bastian:''' Exactly, yet you had no hesitation before doing worse to the laguz. I will speed you now to the afterlife, where you may contemplate your life's egregious mistakes.
** Volke simply gets to the point.
--> '''Izuka:''' You! You're...
--> '''Volke:''' ...Under a new contract. Good-bye, Izuka.
* They also save plenty of choice words against [[EvilChancellor Lekain.]]
--> '''Sanaki''': Burn, traitor!
* Elincia's amazing RousingSpeech before the assault on Ashnard's palace is both this and a SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment. Especially when you consider how quiet she was throughout the entire game. Even Ranulf was impressed!
** If you decide this way, Ike can give one as well. It's shorter, but just as awesome.

* When [[spoiler:the judgement-hungry KnightTemplar goddess Ashera]] refuses the LastSecondChance, Ike points Ragnell directly in the BiggerBad's face and says:

* Black Knight ''is'' a CrowningMomentOfAwesome in and of himself, especially when [[spoiler:he joins Micaiah's party early on in ''Radiant Dawn'', as a ''playable character'', making for one hell of a WhamEpisode]].

-->'''Ike:''' Then we will fight... and we will save our people. [[spoiler:Make your peace with whatever the gods worship]]. Your end is near.

** Marcia also has a scene where she intends to fight off an entire troop of wyvern knights ''by herself'' to protect Elincia, Leanne. and Nealuchi (a queen, princess, and princess' royal retainer respectively), and spouts a constant stream of insults at them the entire time. She even manages to yell at Haar in the midst of the battle to make him help her.

** He gets a big one in his backstory. He manages to [[spoiler: [[IWillFindYou find someone he has only seen once in his life who didn't even stay in the same country, by himself, as a little boy]].]] Both for the resolve to see it through, and the fact that it actually worked.

** Radiant Dawn, chapter 4-3:

* Leanne is the cause of one when she arrives in Crimea in Part 2 of Radiant Dawn. Paraphrasing the narration: "The Crimean nobles don't like how Elincia welcomes the Heron Princess to court so readily, but they know that if they say anything Tibarn and Naesala will tear them apart, so they shut up about it."
