History Awesome / FushigiYuugi

** Tamahome's HesBack moment after defeating the Kodoku poison. This is the final turning point in the whole battle.

** [[TheDreaded Nakago]] pulling a BigDamnHeroes, as a spirit only capable of sending aura bolts. Nakago disables Tomo's illusions by shattering his shell and the earring with a life force bolt, and sends him [[OhCrap running for the hills]] by simply saying "I have a fair idea of what you are doing here."

** The whole scene is just properly glorious when a reunited Taka appears on top of the sea, the Ogre character on his forehead, calmly stating he finally understands his purpose, and emitting an aura so big as to cover all of Tokyo. Tenkoh himself is properly IMPRESSED at Taka's growth and state of TranquilFury, from which he can draw no power at all since there is no anger nor sadness to prey upon, just pure, unadulterated love and purpose.

* Miaka has a subtle but beautiful one ''very'' early: when she starts gaining Nuriko's respect and collaboration. Up until then Miaka had acted as if she was Nuriko's maid to try getting into his favors, and due to jealousy he kept treating her like shit -- ultimately sending her to seek for a supposedly lost earring [[TheUriahGambit in hopes to make her look bad]]. Well, Miaka obviously doesn't find said earring -- she returns with her hands empty, overhears Nuriko gloating about what he had done... then she steps in, [[ArmorPiercingSlap slaps Nuriko across the face]] and [[WhatTheHellHero loudly calls him out for being selfish]], before offering him a pretty and shiny pebble that she ''did'' find around. That's quite the HumblePie eating moment for Nuriko, who [[TearsOfRemorse breaks down crying]] due to the humiliation, and from then on acts still snarky but much closer to the cheerful BoisterousBruiser we know and love.

* How about the way Tamahome killed Nakago? You know, by punting a hole through his chest WITH HIS LASER FISTS?! I wasn't even a big fan of Tamahome, but even I had to admit awesomeness when I saw it.
%%* The scene where thanks to Yui's last wish on Seiryuu, Miaka is able to summon Suzaku ''in the real world'' is ''pure, absolute, immense'' '''win'''.

** A fully rejuvenated Suzaku in all his glory, along with the other Four Gods, delivering the MOTHER of all [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "Reason you suck" speeches]] along with a TomatoInTheMirror reveal to Tenkoh, before wiping him from this world forever. This proved once and for all just how much power the Four Gods held, even in the real world, and in a nod to Buddhism, the difference between true Gods and fake Gods such as Tenkoh.

** There's also the scene where she guesses that [[spoiler: Zombie!Shouka]] has come to kill her, so she [[ObfuscatingStupidity dodges her attacks while pretending to be asleep.]] Notorious in that not only [[IdiotHero she]] ''did'' realize someone would attack her before it happened, but she did it ''while being quite ill and physically weakened''.

** Later in the series, Tasuki has a lesser, but still [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Awesome]] moment after [[spoiler:Yui has summoned Seiryuu, the Suzaku warriors' powers have been sealed away, and Kutou has invaded Konan]]. Nakago is in full EvilGloating mode, the main characters Miaka and Tamahome are in chaos, and out of nowhere Tasuki pulls a TalkToTheFist moment by deciding to simply pick up a sword and hurl it at Nakago's face. In a bit of morbid hilarity, [[spoiler:when Soi [[TakingTheBullet takes it instead]], Tasuki's primary reaction is "rats, I missed."]]

* Miaka telling Yui that [[spoiler:she is going to yell at her about many things by the time her battle with Nakago is over]].
** I find this to be Miaka's greatest revenge on Yui.

* How about the way [[spoiler:Tamahome killed Nakago? You know, by punting a hole through his chest WITH HIS LASER FISTS?!]] I wasn't even a big fan of Tamahome, but even I had to admit awesomeness when I saw it.
* The scene where [[spoiler: thanks to Yui's last wish on Seiryuu, Miaka is able to summon Suzaku ''in the real world'']] is ''pure, absolute, immense'' '''win'''.
* OVA 2 :

** Later in the series, Tasuki has a lesser, but still [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Awesome]] moment after [[spoiler:Yui has summoned Seiryuu, the Suzaku warriors' powers have been sealed away, and Kutou has invaded Konan]].

* Say what you will, but Nuriko pulling a {{Determinator}} moment to choke Ashitare after having been literally skewered has to count. Extra points for CrowningMusicOfAwesome "Winner" playing in the background.

** When Taka, about to go past the DespairEventHorizon, gets a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming from Miaka, and decides to finally overcome himself, taking in a heartbroken avatar of Tamahome who is about to go [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone crazy from what he did]].

* ''FushigiYuugi'' OVA 2 :

* The scene where [[spoiler: thanks to Yui's last wish on Seiryuu, Miaka is able to summon Suzaku ''in the real world'']] is ''pure, absolute, immense'' '''win''.

* After being rescued an absurd number of times from every danger imaginable, Miaka from ''FushigiYuugi'' actually saves her seven protectors from Soi by catching a massive lightning blast in a holy sword and hurling the energy back at the enemy.
