History Awesome / HaruhiSuzumiya

** AyaHirano [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inlRIlp2GWg repeats this for]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GtukZYpK9Q the live concert.]]

** A fan with C programming experience took screencaps of Yuki hacking the game, every frame that the MS-DOS command line windows appeared. [[spoiler:Every command and bit of C code was valid]]. Yeah, [[ShownTheirWork these guys don't half-ass this stuff.]]

<<|CrowningMoment/{{Anime}}|>>

* When Endless Eight... well, ended. In the anime, anyway. Although the loop got pretty torturous, if they hadn't done it that many times then Kyon's solution would have been more of a WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome moment, but I nearly cheered out loud. That and the epilogue also border on CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming... somehow.

* And also in ''The Movie'': When Kyon finally finds Haruhi outside the Koyouken High and uses his trump card on her. [[spoiler: Haruhi: - ''(noticing)'' North High... What's your name? - Kyon: - ''John Smith''.]] Haruhi ''faints''. She just couldn't stand the awesome.

** In the 10th book, there's [[spoiler: [[BigDamnVillains Ryoko SAVING Kyon]] from an interface even more psychotic than her. And in true Ryoko Asakura fashion, she does this in part by holding a knife to Kyon's throat and threatening to off him herself! She doesn't do it, thankfully, but still a cool moment.]]

* [[spoiler: Ryoko stabbing Kyon]] extremely awesome. The movie has done a nice job portraying sheer abject ''[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel terror]]'' that spreads across Kyon's face as the camera focuses on [[spoiler:Ryoko Asakura, back from hell with a casual smile.]]

* Also in ''The Movie'': [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]], but for this troper Mikuru [[ItMakesSenseInContext punching Kyon in the face]] counts as her [=CMoA=]. Normally I sympathise strongly with Kyon and he was clearly in a desperate situation, but [[spoiler:bringing up the mole on her breast]] was still a terrible idea. I even caught myself thinking "could someone please punch him out?", thinking that Tsuruya would do it. And then Mikuru showed us that even the resident {{Moe}}-blob [[BewareTheNiceOnes has her pride]]!

* YourMileageMayVary, a BIG TIME, but I found [[spoiler: Ryoko stabbing Kyon]] extremely awesome. The movie has done a nice job portraying sheer abject ''[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel terror]]'' that spreads across Kyon's face as the camera focuses on [[spoiler:Ryoko Asakura, back from hell with a casual smile.]]

* Also in ''The Movie'', the moment [[spoiler:the Brigade is (finally) brought together]] counts. The music track that accompanies the scene is called, fittingly,[[spoiler: [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome SOS Dan Futatabi]], or "SOS Brigade Returns,"]] and is the most epic part of an [[CrazyAwesome amazing]] soundtrack.

* Kyon's [[spoiler:future self]] also has a Main/BigDamnHeroes moment when [[spoiler:he leads Yuki, [[strike:Itsuki,]] and Mikuru to rescue his past self. Haruhi may unintentionally summon the weirdness...Kyon can ''mobilize it.'']]

* In the fourth book, which was adapted as TheMovie, Kyon [[spoiler:told Yuki to tell the Data Overmind that she was under his protection, and if anything happened to her, he would ''destroy'' it, alien god or no...with four words: "[[TrustPassword I am John Smith]]."]] Also a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* Also in ''The Movie'', the moment [[spoiler:the Brigade is (finally) brought together]] counts. The music track that accompanies the scene is called, fittingly,[[spoiler: [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome SOS Dan Futatabi]], or "SOS Brigade Returns,"]] and is the most [[BeyondTheImpossible epic]] part of an [[CrazyAwesome amazing]] soundtrack.

* Itsuki Koizumi gets such a scene at the end of the novel story ''Snow Mountain Syndrome'', when he declares to Kyon that should his Organization ever come into conflict with them, he will betray his superiors to side with the SOS Brigade. Really now, several of the scenes in the later novel stories reinforce the concept of the SOS Brigade as {{Nakama}}.

** In the 10th book, there's [[spoiler: Ryoko SAVING Kyon from an interface even more psychotic than her. And in true Ryoko Asakura fashion, she does this in part by holding a knife to Kyon's throat and threatening to off him herself! She doesn't do it, thankfully, but still a cool moment.]]

*** Okay, you know what? Yuki's so stoic and starts out so one-dimensional that ANYTHING SHE SAYS is a CMOA.

** In fact, in one audio special, Kyon blackmail ''[[{{God}} Haruhi]]'', with the threat of calling her "Haru-Haru" if she forces [[MoeMoe Mikuru]] to dress in humiliatingly revealing clothes at a concert... Haruhi's reaction was ''priceless'' and must be heard to be believed. Just goes to show, whether you are an omniscient alien or an obliviously omnipotent schoolgirl, Kyon knows how to blackmail.

* YourMileageMayVary, a BIG TIME, but I found Ryoko successfully [[spoiler:stabbing Kyon]] found extremely awesome.
* Another from the movie- the sheer abject ''[[HighOctaneNightmareFuel terror]]'' that spreads across Kyon's face as the camera focuses on [[spoiler:Ryoko Asakura, back from hell with a casual smile.]]

** The official translation gives Kyon a line that makes this even better. ("Him" refers to the Data Overmind, obviously.)
