** In the original Japanese, the line is much more understated; his voice actor delivers his catch phrase almost casually and with a quiet chuckle: "Heh, I knew that I could make the impossible possible..." It's possibly even more epic that way, [[YourMileageMayVary depending on your preference]].

** Mu La Flaga repeatedly fighting HumongousMecha and BiggerStick HumongousMecha in either his Moebius Zero mobile armor - which, while exponentially better than the production model Moebius mobile armors to the point that Mu is the only living OMNI pilot who can fly it, is still pretty puny by comparison to even a standard mobile suit - or ''a simple fighter jet.''

** In the same episode as the above Launcher Striker Pack stunt, Mu makes a solo run on Le Creuset's flagship and ''forces it to withdraw''. Bear in mind that this is the same guy who has a psychic connection with Mu, so even with forewarning, they STILL couldn't avoid damage.

** Kira actually has experience with programming mobile suit OS' If you recall in the first episode it has him running and programming data for a new OS for a mobile suit like object. It is also mentioned that Kira had been helping him for quite some time as he carries data for it around. Doesn't make it less assume.

** Some fans even argue that he gets two other [=CMoA=]'s. All three times being when he has to reprogram the X-105 Strike's Operating System... In the middle of a battle. While being fired upon.
*** The first of the above-mentioned are in the beginning, when Kira takes over the X-105 Strike and can't control it, because the OS is messed up. He reprograms the OS in less than 2 minutes and goes on to kick ZAFT ass in a Mobile Suit he's completely unfamiliar with.
**** To reiterate: He reprogrammed an entire OS, probably as large as Windows 7 if not larger , in less than 2 minutes. Even if he IS the Ultimate Coordinator, it is still highly improbable that a teenager who has no experience in programming Mobile Suit OS's can reprogram it in such a short time.

* While not having to do with fighting, Lacus herself gets a few. Her first one is when she ''demands'' Rau withdraw from fighting the Arcangel after Kira frees her. Up until this point she's come off as an IdolSinger with a touch of CloudCuckoolander, and has never raised her voice once. To suddenly hear her yelling at Rau for trying to start a battle is pretty awesome. She also manages to organize a resistance movement within the ZAFT military, give Kira the Freedom with relative ease, and then steal the new battleship ZAFT had been developing. For a total non combatant Lacus arguably makes as many contributions to ending the war as Kira does.

[[spoiler:Cagalli's]] about to be toast, when Yzak throws his own mobile suit in front of hers and takes the beam on his shield. Said BigDamnHeroes moment would probably be plenty awesome by itself, but then he draws a beam saber and ''charges the enemy Gundam head-on.'' Shani opens fire again, blowing Yzak's shield into a million pieces and engulfing his Gundam in a huge explosion. Cue a moment of horrified silence...followed by the Duel ''bursting'' OutOfTheInferno ''DualWielding beam sabers.'' Before Shani can say "holy shit", Yzak chops the arms off his Gundam with one saber and rams the other through his cockpit. [[BadAss Bad. Ass.]]

Seeing him [[KickTheDog abuse her bridge bunny for doing the right thing]] is what finally gives Natarle the HeroicResolve to screw Azrael's authority, send all of the bridge bunnies away ''and'' pull the aforementioned [=CMOA=]s.
* And then there's MagnificentBastard [[BigBad Rau Le Creuset]] in episodes 49 and 50. Kira and Athrun have been kicking ass using massive gunships attached to their mobile suits. Then Kira decides to attack Rau...who proceeds to tear Kira's gunship to pieces without getting scratched.
** Rau gets another [=CMoA=] at Mendel, when he doesn't just ''fight'' Mu's Strike Gundam with a [=GuAIZ=], he ''beats'' him with it, simultaneously demonstrating the [=GuAIZ=]'s power and his own badassery.
** One earlier than that (and this one kind of a Crowning Moment of Evil): during episode 37, [[FallenPrincess Fllay]] has Rau at gunpoint, and has a pretty good chance of killing him. Rau proceeds to utterly destroy the poor girl's sense of purpose and leaves her unable to do ''anything'', [[HannibalLecture without so much as rising from his chair.]]
* Dearka has a few. In the medical bay, his hands tied behind his back he is attacked by two angry women, the first with a knife and the second with a gun, both intent on killing him for different reasons. He survives with nothing more than a cut above his hairline.
** Later in a cell he sees the first attacker, who he had teased about her boyfriend dying. He asks about how he died and finally concludes "It's not me."
** [[spoiler:"Huh? Buster?"]]
* [[Tropers/{{Serenade}} This Troper]] hasn't even seen a lot of ''Gundam SEED'', but she firmly believes that any scene that involves the [[AttackDrone D.R.A.G.O.O.N. system]] wins.

* It is this troper's opinion that Athrun [[spoiler:ripping off Tolle Koenig's head BY THROWING HIS SHIELD at the Skygrasper counts as a [=CMoA=] for him.]] Actually, pretty much all of that episode is one massive [=CMoA=] for Athrun, as [[spoiler:he handily kicks Kira's arse all over the place - with the latter only being saved from total annihilation by the Aegis's battery conveniently running out.]]
** The duel between Kira and Athrun could really be a Crowning Moment for the ''[[GrowingTheBeard series itself]]''. Up until this point, both of them have been trying to capture/convert each other, since they're {{Forgotten Childhood Friend}}s. However, now [=~It's Personal~=] because they've both just had [[AnyoneCanDie a friend and comrade in arms killed]] by the other, so this fight becomes [[CombatBreakdown a brutal slugfest]] with both of them putting everything they have into killing the other.

* While not having to do with fighting, Lacus herself gets a few. Her first one is when she ''demands'' Rau withdraw from fighting the Arcangel after Kira frees her. Up until this point she's come off as an IdolSinger with a touch of CloudCuckoolander, and has never raised her voice once. To suddenly hear her yelling at Rau for trying to start a battle is pretty awesome. She also manages to organize a resistance movement within the ZAFT military, give Kira the Freedom with relative ease, and then steal the new battleship ZAFT had been developing. For a total non combatant Lacus arguably makes as many contributions to ending the was as Kira does.

* Kira's final battle with Rau. Even after Rau tries to break him by murdering Flay, Kira gets the urge to fight on by her spirit. He proceeds to regain his spirit and fight Rau on even ground before ultimately defeating him and pushing him in front of the giant KilSat

** Mu already has one by the time the series starts. To elaborate it was considered at the time that five mobile armors were needed to take down one Ginn. Mu took down five Ginns with one mobile armor. This feat was so awesome that he was famous in OMNI and ZAFT and known as "The Hawk of Endimion."

The duel between Kira and Athrun mid-series. Up until this point, both of them have been trying to capture/convert each other, since they're {{Forgotten Childhood Friend}}s. However, now [=~It's Personal~=] because they've both just had [[AnyoneCanDie a friend and comrade in arms killed]] by the other, so this fight becomes a brutal slugfest with both of them putting everything they have into killing the other.

Yzak's [[spoiler:semi-HeelFaceTurn]] in the final episodes, utilizing the most hilariously tortured logic in history. In reference to the Eternal, ''"It's a ZAFT ship, isn't it?! Then we'll defend it!"'' He also manages to kill two of the three Druggies singlehandedly; once saving [[spoiler:Cagalli]], and the second time in defense of [[spoiler:Dearka]]. The second time is particularly awesome, as he mostly sounds pissed off while he's doing it. ''"GIVE ME THAT WEAPON!" *takes {{BFG}}, fires.*''

Mu's [[spoiler:death scene]] in the final episode. ''"Didn't I tell you...?! [[CatchPhrase I'm the man who makes the impossible... possible]]!! Hahaaa!"'' Then, [[spoiler:kaboom]].
* In the original Japanese, the line is much more understated; his voice actor delivers his catch phrase almost casually and with a quiet chuckle: "Heh, I knew that I could make the impossible possible..." It's possibly even more epic that way.
