* Ange in particular has a few:
** Her [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Heroes]] entrance at the end of Episode 3.
** "Leave the jokes to your hairstyle."
** "There are no toilets here so I guess you had to elegantly drop a load behind a tree."
** [[spoiler: "Have a nice dream. See you in hell." ]]
** [[spoiler: Her [[HeroicSacrifice Heroic Sacrifice]] at the end of Episode 4, which also manages to be something of a [[TearJerker Tear Jerker.]] ]]
* Rosa's final actions at the end of Episode 2: [[spoiler: she faces down an entire army of demon goats with only a Winchester 45, a pen, and a gold ingot.]] It was awesome enough to inspire her own [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFQRlN2q1w video game.]]
** The whole ending of Episode 2, with the hunt, Rosa protecting Maria, then finally they put up a last stand together ending in a Rosa firing some shots with pictures flashing by ending with the Umineko logo and then the When the Seagulls cry message and all of this accompanied with probably the most badass of the music in the VN (which with how good the soundtrack is quite amazing) Worldend Dominator. Seriously just [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfaXZNri-Nk watch it.]]
** And in Ougon Musou Kyoku, Rosa Musou, [[FanNickname Goat]] [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Castlevania Killer]] gets her key moments there made into her [[SuperMovePortraitAttack Super Move]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pIKwC45V2c#t=7s Rondo Super and Meta Super.]]
*** Golden Dream: with a giant ingot, but still:
--->'''Rosa:''' [[BadassBoast I'll show you...]] '''''[[PreMortemOneLiner my Golden Dream!!]]'''''
*** Goat Hunting: The Goat Killer combo, just as described in the Visual Novel.
*** And lastly, her Meta Super:
-->'''Rosa:''' Maria!
-->'''Maria:''' Uu-! Here, Mama! (a second Winchester is tossed to Rosa)
**** Cue Rosa DualWielding.
* Beatrice's first entrance in the anime. If there were any scenes in the anime that did the Visual Novel justice... Basically, Battler announces that if the others want to prove Beatrice's existence, they'll just have to bring her here. Guess who appears ''right behind Battler'' only seconds after his announcement?
* Episode 3... pretty much all of it, actually. But to list just a few:
** The entire Myth Battle between Beatrice and Virgilia. Even if it technically didn't happen, it is still awesome for ''both'' witches involved.
** Kyrie and Rudolf facing off against two of the Seven Stakes, and Kyrie defeating her opponent by basically ''out-envying her.''
*** Speaking of Rudolf, let's not forget this little exchange:
-->'''Belphegor:''' [[ResistanceIsFutile Resistance is futile]]. You don't need to think about anything. Just close your eyes. I'll finish everything gently.
-->'''Rudolf:''' Heh, you'd make a good wife. [[ThatsWhatSheSaid A husband would love to hear that when he comes home tired]].
** [[spoiler: Beatrice's elaborate ruse where she convinces Battler she has turned over a new leaf, right up until he's about to sign a contract that admits his defeat?]]
** What lead up to that - the incredible battle in the hall where Beato was shot through so many times that nothing but a HEART remained, and she still managed to hold off Evatrice... and the meta battle between Battler and Evatrice.
** As bad as this may sound, Battler standing up to Beatrice by slapping her and generally telling her he's not going to take her crap anymore. Considering everything the guy's been through up to this point thanks to her and some of [[MoralEventHorizon her actions]], that was ''intensely'' satisfying.
* The two battles between [[spoiler: Gaap and George]] and [[spoiler: Jessica and Ronove]] wherein [[spoiler: they are forced to make a [[SadisticChoice Sadistic Choice]], but instead go for a third option--fighting their opponent.]]
** And even when [[spoiler: it looked like George ''was'' about to make one of the three choices on which life to sacrifice--his own, his lover's, or everyone else's--instead of going for the obvious and making the HeroicSacrifice choice Jessica made, he simply chooses for everyone else to die.]] To this troper, watching [[spoiler: George beat down the barrier for the choices a hero usually makes in favour of a choice that wouldn't be traditionally heroic]] was just...amazing. Of course, it also makes the following moment even more awesome:
-->[[spoiler: '''George:''' I'll start with you. Any questions?]]
* In Episode 4, after seeing Kinzo spend the first few games [[LargeHam screaming Beatrice's name at the sky and begging for her to return,]] he finally [[TookALevelInBadass takes a level in badass:]] [[spoiler: He not only summons the Siestas, he also summons two of Beatrice's most powerful furniture, ''and'' her mentor. At the same time.]] There's a ''reason'' he gained something of a fanbase in America after the anime aired that particular episode.
* Maria getting RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap in Episode 4: The scene where [[spoiler:she [[CallingTheOldManOut calls her mother out on her mistreatment of her]] and then repeatedly kills her in true When They Cry fashion]] manages to be this, horrifying, '''and''' a TearJerker at the same time. That alone makes it awesome.
* The ending of Episode 4 where [[spoiler: Battler denies Beatrice with the blue truth]] qualifies...but when read in the proper context, it becomes a TearJerker.
* In Episode 5, Erika is about to trap Kinzo in a closed room in his study on the third floor. Battler smashes that closed room by proposing that Kinzo could've escaped by diving out the window... and then proves it by doing so himself. CrazyAwesome: It's InTheBlood.
* The hidden tea party of Episode 5. [[spoiler: Battler faces off against Erika, the Eiserne Jungfrau, and Bernkastel at the same time, gets back-up from Ronove, Virgilia, Gaap, and the Seven Stakes...'''and''' discovers the Gold Truth that only the Game Master can use.]]
* The last chapter of [=EP6=] has one for almost every fantasy character.
** Beatrice [[spoiler: solving the closed room problem no one else could, then fearlessly crashing an armed wedding and calmly demanding a duel from Erika, even though she could be killed at any moment.]]
*** After spending ''two whole games'' absent from the real Beato's face, her troll sneer ''finally'' makes its triumphant return here. Full with slowly raising her pipe, then progressively going up from serene face, to gentle smile, to grin, to the long awaited sneer.
** Virgilia, Ronove, and Gaap [[spoiler: taking out the Siestas.]]
** The Stakes of Purgatory [[spoiler: showing how deep their loyalty for Beatrice and Battler goes when they defy Erika and take down Gertrude's barrier.]]
** Lambdadelta [[spoiler: ''deflecting a sword with popcorn.'']]
** Erika [[spoiler: standing up one last time to boldly face Beatrice and Battler while she's dying.]]
* Battler: "[[spoiler:Maria]], it's ten years early for you to tell someone to [[spoiler:eat you]]. Make sure to tell me that in ten years, alright?"
** From the second tea party as well: "Looks delicious. Slice up your cowtits and make me a sandwich." Especially in context: [[spoiler: After her sound victory, Beatrice is torturing Rosa by making her eat remains of her siblings and more or less crossing the MoralEventHorizon by presenting Maria's head, who suddenly starts to beg. The game is already over, nobody is coming to save her, Beatrice laughing hysterically towards a perfectly plausible DownerEnding scenario... then that one line comes up, effectively and utterly destroying the hopeless mood. Cue Battler's BigDamnHeroes entrance.]]
*** Made several times more awesome by [[spoiler:him smashing Beato's face into the table]] immediately after saying this. Too bad the anime didn't show it.
* Dunno if many people caught this, but the fact that Siesta 410 has faith in Battler in [=EP5=]. [[spoiler: At one point during the main story, Battler is trying to argue a way to help the witch Beatrice and the phantom of Kinzo out of the closed room Erika has constructed, with the help of the Siesta Sisters and the Eiserne Jungfrau. After he's told that escape is impossible, 410 simply comments, "But he'll do it anyway." And then, during the hidden tea party, Battler is revived from death, ready to fight again. Bernkastel orders the Siestas to fire and destroy him; while readying to fire, 410 has a sad, apologetic look on her face. Right after it's revealed that they can't fire on him, her face has become a triumphant grin. When asked why they didn't fire, and it's revealed that Battler is the new territory lord of the fragment, 410 comments, "Nihi, I told you he'd do it."]]
* [=EP6=]. Kanon [[spoiler: rescuing Battler and staying in the closed room.]] It is even accompanied by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ByDX00sGI one of the best songs in the soundtrack!]]
* Also in [=EP6=], Beato's Trollface making it's triumphant return. Don't even PRETEND you weren't cheering at that point.
** She and Battler get another, amazingly epic one at the very end of the episode, with just ''one'' line: [[spoiler:"Sorry, but-" "Even if we include you-" ""There are seventeen people.""]]
*** Not to mention it's a bit of a MindScrew, because Erika's just declared in Red that [[spoiler:she's the 18th person on Rokkenjima.]] Then Battler and Beato reply with the above in Red.
**** Not quite. She said she was [[spoiler:the 18th ''human'']] on Rokkenjima. Big difference. [[spoiler:A human corpse is still human.]] Dead, [[spoiler:but human]]. However, you can't call [[spoiler:a human corpse a person]]. [[spoiler:Kinzo's already proven that]].
**** That's an explanation that comes to mind, except it would make no sense… [[spoiler:because Erika is the detective in Episode 5 and 6. Assuming she was DeadAllAlong would be the same as assuming Battler was dead in the first 4 Episodes.]]
* ''Dawn'' again: The Stakes' subverting Erika and Dlanor to help Beato and Battler out when Beato makes her return. [[spoiler:Gertrude is holding up a barrier that Beato won't be able to get through, and the Siestas are quickly rebooting, almost able to take Beato out. The Stakes want to help the two out, but are unsure of how to proceed, because technically, Erika is currently commanding them. (Battler was comatose, and Erika married him; as his wife, she had the right to speak on his behalf and command what belonged to him.) Dlanor specifically tells Lucifer, "You are not allowed to move except by the orders of your MASTER."]] Then, this conversation occurs:
-->'''Leviathan:''' Who's our master?!
-->'''Satan:''' It's Erika now, idiot!
-->'''Mammon:''' No, our master is Battler-sama!
-->'''Belphagor:''' True, she only speaks on his behalf.
-->'''Asmodeus:''' That's right, big sister! Whose furniture are we?
-->'''Beelzebub:''' It's just too delicious! Let's eat!
** Belz shoots forward and stakes Gertrude, but the barrier doesn't break. Gertrude just looks at Lucifer, and asks, "By whose orders? Know that Lady Erika has made no such order." "We do have orders. Th..the orders of our master!" "How can a master who cannot speak give orders?" "E..even though he can't talk, understanding a master's will is furniture's job!" With that, the six other Sisters all stake Gertrude, whose barrier shatters.
* Episode 7. Eva in the Tea Party [[spoiler:surviving Kyrie's massacre and finally managing to take she and Rudolf down, then swearing to take care of Ange and ensure that she never learns the truth about her parents.]] Also counts as a TearJerker when you know how she and Ange's future turns out...
* Episode 7 again: Will crashing the Tea Party to [[spoiler:protect Lion from Bernkastel.]] Starting from when [[spoiler:he ''freezes time'' and ''slices the screen apart'' to stop his murder, and then angrily refusing to allow Lion to even consider giving up. Getting thrashed by Bernkastel and losing his limbs does nothing to shake his absolute determination to save Lion and Beatrice, even at the cost of his own life.]]
** Lion also gets to contribute by [[spoiler:refusing to obey Bernkastel when Bernkastel orders him to beg Will to drop him and save himself. Instead, together with Will, he declares that they will escape and keep fighting for their miracle. Right to the face of the Witch of Miracles herself.]]
*** Both made it more awesome by the fact that [[spoiler:Episode 8 reveals that they SURVIVE. SOMEHOW.]]
**** [[spoiler:Well, thanks, Lambda. Everything she does is awesome. ]]
* A bit of a meta one: Witch Hunt, the group responsible for producing the unofficial English translation for the games, received a letter from Ryukushi07, the writer/creator of Umineko. Instead of responding with a Cease and Desist, like most would, R7 instead expressed admiration for their spirit and praised them for translating his game. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming He went on to name a group in the fourth episode of the novels after said translation group.]]
* Battler disproving Erika's closed room theory in [=EP5=]-- by jumping out of a third story window.
-->'''Cornelia:''' Let me speak, let me speak! Be that as it may, this is the third floor...! [[color:blue:How could a wingless human escape from the window...?!]] Know that you won't get through, you won't!
-->'''Battler:''' Quit your whining and watch!
* Episode 8, but it still contains a lot of awesome battles. Especially the EVERYONE vs. goats and Lambda vs. Bern/Featherine.
** Six words: [[spoiler:[[{{Badass}} Battler]]. [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Punches]]. [[SmugSnake Bern]]. ''[[BerserkButton In]]''. ''[[VillainousBreakdown THE]]''. '''''[[UnstoppableRage FACE]]'''''.]]
** Also, specifically during the goat fight: [[spoiler: Will HEADBUTTING A GOAT TO DEATH after it insults the mystery genre. The looks on everyone's faces as he does it are simply priceless.]]
** Even before Lambda vs. Bern itself, Lambda [[spoiler:sacrificing her own livelihood to bring Battler and Ange to Featherine's party and then later losing the game of rock-paper-scissors on purpose so that she would be chosen as the sacrifice]] should definitely count.
* A Fridge Brilliance CMOA for Battler, if you subscribe to a certain theory about EP6: [[spoiler: if you believe he planned the entire thing, he managed to fool both Erika and Bernkastel into thinking he was a completely incompetent mess, while in reality he knew exactly what he was doing and was betting everything to save Beatrice. Just the fact that he was willing to spend years inside that horrifying closed room in order to revive her makes the episode that much more amazing.]]
** Let's put this in perspective. Not only did he [[spoiler:fool Erika and Bernkastel, ''he fooled the readers'', most of whom thought he was being an idiot.]] How's that for a Meta-twist?
* The entire [[spoiler:LastStand]] scene in [=EP8=]. To wit:
** [[spoiler:Will and Dlanor's]] BackToBackBadasses.
** The fantasy characters shooting down goats like there's no tomorrow.
** Battler's TheCoatsAreOff moment against [[spoiler:Erika.]]
** And of course, the aforementioned [[spoiler:Will headbutting a goat to death.]]
** Rosa almost-killing [[spoiler: Erika]] four times at once (including shoving a gun straight down her throat and firing and punching a pen through her eye socket) after she yells to Maria that Rosa never loved her. [[spoiler: Erika]] manages to survive, just, only for Dlanor to declare that her [[ThisIsUnforgivable actions are unforgivable]] and issue a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that forces [[spoiler: her old friend]] to flee the battle. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qul0sTs3dUU&feature=relmfu Seen here.]]
** And then there was a final CrowningMomentOfAwesome for ''the whole family'' at the climax, but especially Ange. [[spoiler:When she realizes her power as the Witch of Resurrection, she brings back Battler and every single one of her friends and family, real or imaginary, human or otherwise, who had died in the Golden Land just moments ago. Bernkastel's attempts to destroy them with the red truth [[IRejectYourReality are negated by]] [[EleventhHourSuperpower everyone's gold truth]], which they then pool into a single, massive attack that tears through all the blue truths Bernkastel had been massacring Battler a minute ago and then continues on to her, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu finally defeating her]]. The Witch of Miracles was felled by not only Battler and Ange, but the entire Ushiromiya family and their friends. When you think of how much pain and suffering Bernkastel had caused them all, no defeat could be more fitting.]]
* Earlier on, [[spoiler:Erika's VillainousRescue moment]], saving Ange from a horde of goats.
* And let us not forget the group that made it possible for us to read this series, Witch Hunt. Their work has been nothing short of amazing and with no payment, hundreds of fans constantly wondering when the next translation will be up they have now finished the series. You guys are nothing short of amazing and well deserve the praise R7 gave you.
* Natsuhi's MamaBear moment for Jessica by taking a stand against [[spoiler: Beatrice]] in Episode 6. [[spoiler: It fails miserably, resulting in her death]], but given her ChewToy status, you have to give her props for having the courage to do ''that'' for her daughter's sake.
** In the beginning of Episode 5, we see Natsuhi getting into an argument with Krauss over his ''really'' stupid decisions and how he squandered the family fortune. When he starts getting too excited about the idea of fixing everything with Kinzo's hidden gold, Natsuhi actually slaps Krauss to get him off her. To clarify, Krauss was ''actually'' afraid of her and recoiled even though Natsuhi only slapped him to get him to calm down. Still, it showed there was a limit to how much stupidity she was willing to put up with from her husband.
** Her [[BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Heroes]] entrance at the end of Episode 3.
** "Leave the jokes to your hairstyle."
** "There are no toilets here so I guess you had to elegantly drop a load behind a tree."
** [[spoiler: "Have a nice dream. See you in hell." ]]
** [[spoiler: Her [[HeroicSacrifice Heroic Sacrifice]] at the end of Episode 4, which also manages to be something of a [[TearJerker Tear Jerker.]] ]]
* Rosa's final actions at the end of Episode 2: [[spoiler: she faces down an entire army of demon goats with only a Winchester 45, a pen, and a gold ingot.]] It was awesome enough to inspire her own [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFQRlN2q1w video game.]]
** The whole ending of Episode 2, with the hunt, Rosa protecting Maria, then finally they put up a last stand together ending in a Rosa firing some shots with pictures flashing by ending with the Umineko logo and then the When the Seagulls cry message and all of this accompanied with probably the most badass of the music in the VN (which with how good the soundtrack is quite amazing) Worldend Dominator. Seriously just [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfaXZNri-Nk watch it.]]
** And in Ougon Musou Kyoku, Rosa Musou, [[FanNickname Goat]] [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Castlevania Killer]] gets her key moments there made into her [[SuperMovePortraitAttack Super Move]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pIKwC45V2c#t=7s Rondo Super and Meta Super.]]
*** Golden Dream: with a giant ingot, but still:
--->'''Rosa:''' [[BadassBoast I'll show you...]] '''''[[PreMortemOneLiner my Golden Dream!!]]'''''
*** Goat Hunting: The Goat Killer combo, just as described in the Visual Novel.
*** And lastly, her Meta Super:
-->'''Rosa:''' Maria!
-->'''Maria:''' Uu-! Here, Mama! (a second Winchester is tossed to Rosa)
**** Cue Rosa DualWielding.
* Beatrice's first entrance in the anime. If there were any scenes in the anime that did the Visual Novel justice... Basically, Battler announces that if the others want to prove Beatrice's existence, they'll just have to bring her here. Guess who appears ''right behind Battler'' only seconds after his announcement?
* Episode 3... pretty much all of it, actually. But to list just a few:
** The entire Myth Battle between Beatrice and Virgilia. Even if it technically didn't happen, it is still awesome for ''both'' witches involved.
** Kyrie and Rudolf facing off against two of the Seven Stakes, and Kyrie defeating her opponent by basically ''out-envying her.''
*** Speaking of Rudolf, let's not forget this little exchange:
-->'''Belphegor:''' [[ResistanceIsFutile Resistance is futile]]. You don't need to think about anything. Just close your eyes. I'll finish everything gently.
-->'''Rudolf:''' Heh, you'd make a good wife. [[ThatsWhatSheSaid A husband would love to hear that when he comes home tired]].
** [[spoiler: Beatrice's elaborate ruse where she convinces Battler she has turned over a new leaf, right up until he's about to sign a contract that admits his defeat?]]
** What lead up to that - the incredible battle in the hall where Beato was shot through so many times that nothing but a HEART remained, and she still managed to hold off Evatrice... and the meta battle between Battler and Evatrice.
** As bad as this may sound, Battler standing up to Beatrice by slapping her and generally telling her he's not going to take her crap anymore. Considering everything the guy's been through up to this point thanks to her and some of [[MoralEventHorizon her actions]], that was ''intensely'' satisfying.
* The two battles between [[spoiler: Gaap and George]] and [[spoiler: Jessica and Ronove]] wherein [[spoiler: they are forced to make a [[SadisticChoice Sadistic Choice]], but instead go for a third option--fighting their opponent.]]
** And even when [[spoiler: it looked like George ''was'' about to make one of the three choices on which life to sacrifice--his own, his lover's, or everyone else's--instead of going for the obvious and making the HeroicSacrifice choice Jessica made, he simply chooses for everyone else to die.]] To this troper, watching [[spoiler: George beat down the barrier for the choices a hero usually makes in favour of a choice that wouldn't be traditionally heroic]] was just...amazing. Of course, it also makes the following moment even more awesome:
-->[[spoiler: '''George:''' I'll start with you. Any questions?]]
* In Episode 4, after seeing Kinzo spend the first few games [[LargeHam screaming Beatrice's name at the sky and begging for her to return,]] he finally [[TookALevelInBadass takes a level in badass:]] [[spoiler: He not only summons the Siestas, he also summons two of Beatrice's most powerful furniture, ''and'' her mentor. At the same time.]] There's a ''reason'' he gained something of a fanbase in America after the anime aired that particular episode.
* Maria getting RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap in Episode 4: The scene where [[spoiler:she [[CallingTheOldManOut calls her mother out on her mistreatment of her]] and then repeatedly kills her in true When They Cry fashion]] manages to be this, horrifying, '''and''' a TearJerker at the same time. That alone makes it awesome.
* The ending of Episode 4 where [[spoiler: Battler denies Beatrice with the blue truth]] qualifies...but when read in the proper context, it becomes a TearJerker.
* In Episode 5, Erika is about to trap Kinzo in a closed room in his study on the third floor. Battler smashes that closed room by proposing that Kinzo could've escaped by diving out the window... and then proves it by doing so himself. CrazyAwesome: It's InTheBlood.
* The hidden tea party of Episode 5. [[spoiler: Battler faces off against Erika, the Eiserne Jungfrau, and Bernkastel at the same time, gets back-up from Ronove, Virgilia, Gaap, and the Seven Stakes...'''and''' discovers the Gold Truth that only the Game Master can use.]]
* The last chapter of [=EP6=] has one for almost every fantasy character.
** Beatrice [[spoiler: solving the closed room problem no one else could, then fearlessly crashing an armed wedding and calmly demanding a duel from Erika, even though she could be killed at any moment.]]
*** After spending ''two whole games'' absent from the real Beato's face, her troll sneer ''finally'' makes its triumphant return here. Full with slowly raising her pipe, then progressively going up from serene face, to gentle smile, to grin, to the long awaited sneer.
** Virgilia, Ronove, and Gaap [[spoiler: taking out the Siestas.]]
** The Stakes of Purgatory [[spoiler: showing how deep their loyalty for Beatrice and Battler goes when they defy Erika and take down Gertrude's barrier.]]
** Lambdadelta [[spoiler: ''deflecting a sword with popcorn.'']]
** Erika [[spoiler: standing up one last time to boldly face Beatrice and Battler while she's dying.]]
* Battler: "[[spoiler:Maria]], it's ten years early for you to tell someone to [[spoiler:eat you]]. Make sure to tell me that in ten years, alright?"
** From the second tea party as well: "Looks delicious. Slice up your cowtits and make me a sandwich." Especially in context: [[spoiler: After her sound victory, Beatrice is torturing Rosa by making her eat remains of her siblings and more or less crossing the MoralEventHorizon by presenting Maria's head, who suddenly starts to beg. The game is already over, nobody is coming to save her, Beatrice laughing hysterically towards a perfectly plausible DownerEnding scenario... then that one line comes up, effectively and utterly destroying the hopeless mood. Cue Battler's BigDamnHeroes entrance.]]
*** Made several times more awesome by [[spoiler:him smashing Beato's face into the table]] immediately after saying this. Too bad the anime didn't show it.
* Dunno if many people caught this, but the fact that Siesta 410 has faith in Battler in [=EP5=]. [[spoiler: At one point during the main story, Battler is trying to argue a way to help the witch Beatrice and the phantom of Kinzo out of the closed room Erika has constructed, with the help of the Siesta Sisters and the Eiserne Jungfrau. After he's told that escape is impossible, 410 simply comments, "But he'll do it anyway." And then, during the hidden tea party, Battler is revived from death, ready to fight again. Bernkastel orders the Siestas to fire and destroy him; while readying to fire, 410 has a sad, apologetic look on her face. Right after it's revealed that they can't fire on him, her face has become a triumphant grin. When asked why they didn't fire, and it's revealed that Battler is the new territory lord of the fragment, 410 comments, "Nihi, I told you he'd do it."]]
* [=EP6=]. Kanon [[spoiler: rescuing Battler and staying in the closed room.]] It is even accompanied by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ByDX00sGI one of the best songs in the soundtrack!]]
* Also in [=EP6=], Beato's Trollface making it's triumphant return. Don't even PRETEND you weren't cheering at that point.
** She and Battler get another, amazingly epic one at the very end of the episode, with just ''one'' line: [[spoiler:"Sorry, but-" "Even if we include you-" ""There are seventeen people.""]]
*** Not to mention it's a bit of a MindScrew, because Erika's just declared in Red that [[spoiler:she's the 18th person on Rokkenjima.]] Then Battler and Beato reply with the above in Red.
**** Not quite. She said she was [[spoiler:the 18th ''human'']] on Rokkenjima. Big difference. [[spoiler:A human corpse is still human.]] Dead, [[spoiler:but human]]. However, you can't call [[spoiler:a human corpse a person]]. [[spoiler:Kinzo's already proven that]].
**** That's an explanation that comes to mind, except it would make no sense… [[spoiler:because Erika is the detective in Episode 5 and 6. Assuming she was DeadAllAlong would be the same as assuming Battler was dead in the first 4 Episodes.]]
* ''Dawn'' again: The Stakes' subverting Erika and Dlanor to help Beato and Battler out when Beato makes her return. [[spoiler:Gertrude is holding up a barrier that Beato won't be able to get through, and the Siestas are quickly rebooting, almost able to take Beato out. The Stakes want to help the two out, but are unsure of how to proceed, because technically, Erika is currently commanding them. (Battler was comatose, and Erika married him; as his wife, she had the right to speak on his behalf and command what belonged to him.) Dlanor specifically tells Lucifer, "You are not allowed to move except by the orders of your MASTER."]] Then, this conversation occurs:
-->'''Leviathan:''' Who's our master?!
-->'''Satan:''' It's Erika now, idiot!
-->'''Mammon:''' No, our master is Battler-sama!
-->'''Belphagor:''' True, she only speaks on his behalf.
-->'''Asmodeus:''' That's right, big sister! Whose furniture are we?
-->'''Beelzebub:''' It's just too delicious! Let's eat!
** Belz shoots forward and stakes Gertrude, but the barrier doesn't break. Gertrude just looks at Lucifer, and asks, "By whose orders? Know that Lady Erika has made no such order." "We do have orders. Th..the orders of our master!" "How can a master who cannot speak give orders?" "E..even though he can't talk, understanding a master's will is furniture's job!" With that, the six other Sisters all stake Gertrude, whose barrier shatters.
* Episode 7. Eva in the Tea Party [[spoiler:surviving Kyrie's massacre and finally managing to take she and Rudolf down, then swearing to take care of Ange and ensure that she never learns the truth about her parents.]] Also counts as a TearJerker when you know how she and Ange's future turns out...
* Episode 7 again: Will crashing the Tea Party to [[spoiler:protect Lion from Bernkastel.]] Starting from when [[spoiler:he ''freezes time'' and ''slices the screen apart'' to stop his murder, and then angrily refusing to allow Lion to even consider giving up. Getting thrashed by Bernkastel and losing his limbs does nothing to shake his absolute determination to save Lion and Beatrice, even at the cost of his own life.]]
** Lion also gets to contribute by [[spoiler:refusing to obey Bernkastel when Bernkastel orders him to beg Will to drop him and save himself. Instead, together with Will, he declares that they will escape and keep fighting for their miracle. Right to the face of the Witch of Miracles herself.]]
*** Both made it more awesome by the fact that [[spoiler:Episode 8 reveals that they SURVIVE. SOMEHOW.]]
**** [[spoiler:Well, thanks, Lambda. Everything she does is awesome. ]]
* A bit of a meta one: Witch Hunt, the group responsible for producing the unofficial English translation for the games, received a letter from Ryukushi07, the writer/creator of Umineko. Instead of responding with a Cease and Desist, like most would, R7 instead expressed admiration for their spirit and praised them for translating his game. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming He went on to name a group in the fourth episode of the novels after said translation group.]]
* Battler disproving Erika's closed room theory in [=EP5=]-- by jumping out of a third story window.
-->'''Cornelia:''' Let me speak, let me speak! Be that as it may, this is the third floor...! [[color:blue:How could a wingless human escape from the window...?!]] Know that you won't get through, you won't!
-->'''Battler:''' Quit your whining and watch!
* Episode 8, but it still contains a lot of awesome battles. Especially the EVERYONE vs. goats and Lambda vs. Bern/Featherine.
** Six words: [[spoiler:[[{{Badass}} Battler]]. [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Punches]]. [[SmugSnake Bern]]. ''[[BerserkButton In]]''. ''[[VillainousBreakdown THE]]''. '''''[[UnstoppableRage FACE]]'''''.]]
** Also, specifically during the goat fight: [[spoiler: Will HEADBUTTING A GOAT TO DEATH after it insults the mystery genre. The looks on everyone's faces as he does it are simply priceless.]]
** Even before Lambda vs. Bern itself, Lambda [[spoiler:sacrificing her own livelihood to bring Battler and Ange to Featherine's party and then later losing the game of rock-paper-scissors on purpose so that she would be chosen as the sacrifice]] should definitely count.
* A Fridge Brilliance CMOA for Battler, if you subscribe to a certain theory about EP6: [[spoiler: if you believe he planned the entire thing, he managed to fool both Erika and Bernkastel into thinking he was a completely incompetent mess, while in reality he knew exactly what he was doing and was betting everything to save Beatrice. Just the fact that he was willing to spend years inside that horrifying closed room in order to revive her makes the episode that much more amazing.]]
** Let's put this in perspective. Not only did he [[spoiler:fool Erika and Bernkastel, ''he fooled the readers'', most of whom thought he was being an idiot.]] How's that for a Meta-twist?
* The entire [[spoiler:LastStand]] scene in [=EP8=]. To wit:
** [[spoiler:Will and Dlanor's]] BackToBackBadasses.
** The fantasy characters shooting down goats like there's no tomorrow.
** Battler's TheCoatsAreOff moment against [[spoiler:Erika.]]
** And of course, the aforementioned [[spoiler:Will headbutting a goat to death.]]
** Rosa almost-killing [[spoiler: Erika]] four times at once (including shoving a gun straight down her throat and firing and punching a pen through her eye socket) after she yells to Maria that Rosa never loved her. [[spoiler: Erika]] manages to survive, just, only for Dlanor to declare that her [[ThisIsUnforgivable actions are unforgivable]] and issue a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown that forces [[spoiler: her old friend]] to flee the battle. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qul0sTs3dUU&feature=relmfu Seen here.]]
** And then there was a final CrowningMomentOfAwesome for ''the whole family'' at the climax, but especially Ange. [[spoiler:When she realizes her power as the Witch of Resurrection, she brings back Battler and every single one of her friends and family, real or imaginary, human or otherwise, who had died in the Golden Land just moments ago. Bernkastel's attempts to destroy them with the red truth [[IRejectYourReality are negated by]] [[EleventhHourSuperpower everyone's gold truth]], which they then pool into a single, massive attack that tears through all the blue truths Bernkastel had been massacring Battler a minute ago and then continues on to her, [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu finally defeating her]]. The Witch of Miracles was felled by not only Battler and Ange, but the entire Ushiromiya family and their friends. When you think of how much pain and suffering Bernkastel had caused them all, no defeat could be more fitting.]]
* Earlier on, [[spoiler:Erika's VillainousRescue moment]], saving Ange from a horde of goats.
* And let us not forget the group that made it possible for us to read this series, Witch Hunt. Their work has been nothing short of amazing and with no payment, hundreds of fans constantly wondering when the next translation will be up they have now finished the series. You guys are nothing short of amazing and well deserve the praise R7 gave you.
* Natsuhi's MamaBear moment for Jessica by taking a stand against [[spoiler: Beatrice]] in Episode 6. [[spoiler: It fails miserably, resulting in her death]], but given her ChewToy status, you have to give her props for having the courage to do ''that'' for her daughter's sake.
** In the beginning of Episode 5, we see Natsuhi getting into an argument with Krauss over his ''really'' stupid decisions and how he squandered the family fortune. When he starts getting too excited about the idea of fixing everything with Kinzo's hidden gold, Natsuhi actually slaps Krauss to get him off her. To clarify, Krauss was ''actually'' afraid of her and recoiled even though Natsuhi only slapped him to get him to calm down. Still, it showed there was a limit to how much stupidity she was willing to put up with from her husband.
