6	!!Season 1
7	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E1Richter "Richter"]]]]
8	* Stitch quickly getting the X-Buggy back up after it falls down a ravine with Lilo inside. He dives down, catches the buggy before it hits the bottom, and climbs back up the ledge carrying the buggy in one hand/paw, all in a matter of seconds -- and this was after he hesitated for a bit.

12	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E5Spooky "Spooky"]]]]
13	* Stitch getting over his fears for his ''ʻohana''[='=]s sake and taking down the shapeshifting green blob whose main purpose is to make people afraid.
14	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E6Holio "Holio"]]]]
15	* Lilo and Stitch going straight into a ''freakin' [[UnrealisticBlackHole black hole]]'' in order to destroy it.
16	* A small one, but Nani's boss Mr. Wong turning down the inspector's pass on the principle that he wanted them to "pay to be in his family". To this, Nani's boss tells the inspector "[[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules Keep your family. I have my own, and they're a lot cheaper.]]" Although it renders Nani's efforts to bend over backward for the inspection [[AllForNothing for]] [[ShaggyDogStory nothing]], it must've taken a lot of [[WhatYouAreInTheDark moral fiber]] on his part.
17	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E7Cannonball "Cannonball"]]]]
18	* Cannonball does a BigDamnHeroes moment when he jumps out of the sandcastle Stitch made and uses his powers to concentrate on Gantu, washing him into San Francisco.
19	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E8Yapper "Yapper"]]]]
20	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E9YinYang "Yin-Yang"]]]]
21	* The teamwork Lilo and Stitch use to capture Yin and Yang, using their combined resources that Jumba and Pleakley gave each of them to their fullest.
22	* Yin and Yang are able to create islands when their powers are combined together. They are able to create an ecosystem from the ground up!
23	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E10Kixx "Kixx"]]]]
24	* Gantu's VillainousRescue, which is then upstaged by 601 kicking his butt.
25	* Stitch's HeroicSecondWind against Kixx, since he was sick for a lot of the episode.
26	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E11Splodyhead "Splodyhead"]]]]
27	* Stitch and Gantu's CarFu mano y mano.
28	* Lilo putting her strategy-making skills to good use, getting the aliens to help her successfully trick Splodyhead into coming down from his perch, which gets him captured.
29	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E12Amnesio "Amnesio"]]]]
30	* For Gantu, [[TheBadGuyWins actually managing to capture the episode's experiment.]] He spent much of the episode without his memory, and when he got it back, he was able to beat Lilo and Stitch and capture an experiment for once. [[TheDogBitesBack He even gets to have the experiment erase]] [[BadBoss Hämsterviel's]] memory at the end of the episode.
31	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E13Swirly "Swirly"]]]]
32	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E14Fibber "Fibber"]]]]
33	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E15Tank "Tank"]]]]
34	* The episode's titular experiment ''beating Stitch'' simply by managing to grow so big that Stitch cannot handle him.
35	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E16Sprout "Sprout"]]]]
36	* Stitch, in full cowboy carpe, taking down an overgrown Sprout, complete with some unique CarFu with a riding mower.
37	* [[BigDamnHeroes Zach Makeli]] coming to Stitch's aid with some handy lasso work.
38	-->'''Zack Makeli''': "Ride on, [[WorthyOpponent stranger]]."
39	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E17Elastico "Elastico"]]]]
40	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E18Yaarp "Yaarp"]]]]
41	* Pleakley managing to capture 613 and saving him from being crushed by falling rocks and stalactites in the lava tube through the use of his step-aerobics.
42	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E19SixTwoSeven "627"]]]]
43	* Lilo and Stitch finding the way to defeat 627, the most powerful experiment. Goes into SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}} as well given what they did to do it.
44	* 625 also deserves credit on [[AwesomenessByAnalysis how he managed to figure out 627's weakness]], then relaying it to Lilo.
45	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E20TheAsteroid "The Asteroid"]]]]
46	* Lilo finds a way to save both the Earth and the Asteroid with the help of a few experiments and a rocket from Jumba's ship. Shows how smart she really is for such a young girl and taking charge.
47	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E21Topper "Topper"]]]]
48	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E22Melty "Melty"]]]]
49	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E23Houdini "Houdini"]]]]
50	* The very extent of Houdini's capability. It's one thing when he can make something turn invisible. It's another thing when he can effortlessly make something as big as a ''lighthouse'' vanish.
51	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E24Sinker "Sinker"]]]]
52	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E25Nosy "Nosy"]]]]
53	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E26Finder "Finder"]]]]
54	* [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Hämsterviel]] taking out Stitch with a plasma cannon. Double awesome as he had made the plasma cannon out of the playthings in his gerbil cage.
55	* Stitch and 625's fight on top of Gantu's ship. Bonus points for 625 getting the upper hand with some quick thinking.
56	** More bonus points if you consider that his sudden competence [[FridgeBrilliance is not even an]] AssPull: 625 has the same skills and powers Stitch has. That wasn't just "quick", it was "faster-than-a-supercomputer" thinking.
57	*** Really, this is one of the few even matches in the show since while 625 is a coward, he's still got all the same abilities and skills as Stitch, so they are rather even either way.
58	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E27Slushy "Slushy"]]]]
59	* Splodyhead and Stitch vs. Slushy, an epic five-minute battle that has everything from MoreDakka fireballs and icicles, frozen tornados, and giant monsters made of fire and ice.
60	--> '''Jumba:''' "Elemental evil genius experiments about to join in epic battle, and I forgot camera."[[note]]Funny thing about that comment, he managed to show a recording of that battle to the head of the Evil Genius Organization in [[ClipShow "Ace"]].[[/note]]
61	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E28Dupe "Dupe"]]]]
62	* Gantu trained four experiments into four ''very'' powerful and skilled combatants to take on Stitch. While he is able to beat them at full strength, they prove to be rather tough all together with them being the following: a plasma-shooting scorpion (617/Plasmoid), a laser-eyed triclops (609/Heat), a multi-tentacled thrasher (544/Thresher), and an alien with a hammer-like skull (033/Hammerface).
63	* Lilo turning the tide of the battle when [[GuileHero she tricks Gantu]] into duplicating his four experiments with Dupe's help. Yes he has an "army of Hammerfaces, Plasmoids, Heats and Threshers", but they're so weak that Pleakley's clones tear through them like ''superheroes''.
64	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E29ShortStuff "Shortstuff"]]]]
65	* The {{Kaiju}} battle between the titular experiment and Stitch, including them using the things around them as a weapon.
66	** It's actually {{subverted\|Trope}} for the giant Stitch, as he gets [[CurbStompBattle his patookie handed to him by Shortstuff]]. But it's then {{double subverted}} when he's returned to his original size and he beats Shortstuff by [[HobblingTheGiant tying up his giant legs together to bring him down]].
67	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E30Angel "Angel"]]]]
68	* Angel turning on Gantu and turning the experiments back to good after previously brainwashing them.
69	** Also, before her HeelFaceTurn, Angel gets a villainous moment of awesome by managing to undo a lot of Lilo and Stitch's work with said-brainwashing on the experiments ''in less than a day''.
70	* Stitch knocking out a [[FaceHeelTurn re-eviled]] Kixx with just an uppercut.
71	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E31Felix "Felix"]]]]
72	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E32Poxy "Poxy"]]]]
73	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E33Hunkahunka "Hunkahunka"]]]]
74	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E34Sample "Sample"]]]]
75	* Lilo and Stitch saving Sample from a couple of alien enthusiasts.
76	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E35Babyfier "Babyfier"]]]]
77	* Let's hear it for Jumba--an early setback in the episode is that Jumba's computer was on the fritz, making him unable to access the antidote to Babyfier's de-aging power. Later, when Jumba himself is de-aged, Lilo catches him seemingly playing with the computer...only to find that he's completely fixed it. When she asks how, he simply chuckles and says [[ChildProdigy "evil genius child prodigy!"]]. Even as a ''[[BrainyBaby baby]]'', Jumba's a genius.
78	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E36BonnieAndClyde "Bonnie & Clyde"]]]]
79	* Lilo and Stitch taking down Bonnie and Clyde, who manipulated them for awhile and having them get locked up.
80	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E37Slugger "Slugger"]]]]
81	* Pleakley using his Plitznolibrag skills from Plorgonar to win the basketball game against [[BigBadDuumvirate Mertle and Gantu]], [[ThemeMusicPowerUp all while a jazzy version of the series theme is whistled in the background]].
82	* Slugger using a basketball hoop as a baseball bat to send Gantu flying. [[PintSizedPowerhouse For a little guy he's]] ''[[PintSizedPowerhouse very]]'' [[PintSizedPowerhouse strong]].
83	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E38BadStitch "Bad Stitch"]]]]
84	* Lilo is before Stitch, who has been turned evil again by Hämsterviel, and is more than capable of crushing her with a heavy object if he has a mind to. And what does she do? She tells him that she trusts Stitch would never hurt her and believes there's still good in him. That takes guts! And guess what? [[ThePowerOfFriendship It works]]!
85	* Fridge-Awesome: Lilo is so talented at turning bad experiments good that [[HistoryRepeats she changed Stitch from bad to good all over again]]! And in record time, too.
86	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS1E39Drowsy "Drowsy"]]]]
87
88	!!Season 2
89	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E1Spike "Spike"]]]]
90	* Lilo beating Mertle at the lightning round of the "Ohana-Rama" family trivia contest.
91	* Seeing karma bite Mertle for once in the series since she seemed to succeed in most episodes outside of "Cannonball". After all, CheatersNeverProsper.
92	* A small one for Jumba. He gets hit with Spike's quills, which reduce the intelligence of whoever gets hit with them down to one percent but is seemingly unaffected. Jumba reveals to Lilo, however, that he ''is'' affected by Spike's powers--he's simply such a genius that even 1% of his intelligence is plenty to work with.
93	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E2Frenchfry "Frenchfry"]]]]
94	* [[MamaBear Nani]] beating the [[{{Pun}} stuffing]] out of Frenchfry when he [[ImAHumanitarian tries to eat Lilo and Stitch]], armed with nothing but a broom no less.
95	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E3Swapper "Swapper"]]]]
96	* The fact that Jumba thought ahead with making a roof that is easier to fix. It is rather thoughtful and savvy on his part.
97	* Lilo is able to, for a short time, use Stitch's powers to her advantage against Hämsterviel!Gantu, and later Stitch goes full on crazy when, as Pleakley, throws lemon bars into his eyes. Shows how improv can save the day.
98	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E4Shoe "Shoe"]]]]
99	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E5Slick "Slick"]]]]
100	* Gotta give Jumba credit for this one. He's made an experiment that's so good [[HonestJohnsDealership at its job]], it's almost scary.
101	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E6Skip "Skip"]]]]
102	* Lilo, Stitch and the titular experiment are able to one-up the overlord Gantu in an alternate future where Hämsterviel has taken over the Earth. This includes taking on a new experiment (086/Clink) whose main purpose is to capture people.
103	* Lilo becomes a full ActionGirl when saving Stitch and Skip, as she is now able to use her adult form to its fullest. While it was only a short time, it showed how fast she can adapt.
104	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E7Checkers "Checkers"]]]]
105	* [[BadassFamily Stitch and 625 recruiting their cousins]] to overthrow "King Gantu".
106	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E8PJ "PJ"]]]]
107	* Stitch saves Lilo's substitute teacher from the titular experiment's prank and later gets one up on him. PJ also gets special points for being able to even prank the hyper-smart Stitch.
108	* Stitch being able to wake up on his own from Drowsy's sleep spell. Given how hard it was to awaken people from this sleep in Drowsy's episode, that says a lot.
109	* The ending in general, the very ''scope'' of it. Throughout the episode, Mertle has been responsible for making Lilo look like a bad influence and disruptive student in front of Mr. Kaponi and tempting Lilo to retaliate against him for wrongfully punishing her. But when she walks into class bragging about the prank she has in store, it ends up making it look like ''she'' set up PJ's latest prank. And just like with Lilo, [[CassandraTruth nobody believes Mertle]] when she says the prank wasn't her doing. We cut to Mr. Kaponi "[[{{Irony}} wrongfully]]" punishing Mertle as she insists "[[DiggingYourselfDeeper It wasn't me this time]]!" Instead of [[KarmaHoudini getting away with it]], Mertle gets her [[LaserGuidedKarma just desserts]].
110	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E9Ploot "Ploot"]]]]
111	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E10Snooty "Snooty"]]]]
112	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E11Retro "Retro"]]]]
113	* Retro is one powerful experiment: Not only can he manipulate the age of an item (turning them into an older version of itself), but it can apparently create ancient life forms out of their modern counterparts! He is likely the most dangerous of any of Stitch's cousins.
114	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E12Belle "Belle"]]]]
115	* Lilo turned out to be right all along: the Night Marchers ''are'' real. Comes to FridgeBrilliance as the next episode on the production was a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong''. Thus explaining where magical beings are from.
116	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E13Morpholomew "Morpholomew"]]]]
117	* While it's rather short, we get a fight scene between [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong Jake Long]], a 6-foot fire-breathing dragon with magical powers, and Stitch, a short but ''very'' powerful experimental lifeform made by aliens. The two are ''very'' evenly matched and [[BackToBackBadasses even team up against Gantu later.]]
118	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E14Spats "Spats"]]]]
119	* [[WesternAnimation/TheProudFamily Suga]] [[CoolOldLady Mama]] beating Gantu in the wrestling ring.
120	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E15Heckler "Heckler"]]]]
121	* Pleakley turns Heckler's insults back at him by using them for his own comedy routine.
122	* Nothing was more satisfying than seeing Mertle getting on the receiving end of some ''very'' deep-cut insults. She may be a kid, but for two seasons and (up to this point) three movies, this is rather refreshing.
123	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E16WishyWashy "Wishy-Washy"]]]]
124	* In the end, there's something to be said about how David isn't in Lilo's Hula Class Family picture like she initially wanted, not because he doesn't count as family, but on the principle that Lilo doesn't need a nuclear family in order to have a "normal" family. What's more, it also delivers a subtle [[AnAesop message]] that Nani doesn't necessarily have to marry David right this instant in order to give Lilo a family.
125	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E17Phoon "Phoon"]]]]
126	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E18Bugby "Bugby"]]]]
127	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E19Rufus "Rufus"]]]]
128	* Stitch holding his own against [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Shego]]. She's no pushover, even if he's a genetically modified monster.
129	* Drakken gets one for himself, as he was able to make the perfect plan. If it wasn't for Kim and Lilo, he would have succeeded.
130	* Lilo proves her worth to Kim with her own quick thinking, using Kim's grappling hook to free them. ''That'' is impressive.
131	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E20Shush "Shush"]]]]
132	* Gantu taking on Robot!Mertle to regain his position as TheDragon.
133	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E21Lax "Lax"]]]]
134	* Gretchen and Lilo using the relaxified WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} Gang and Stitch to get Lax to blast Hämsterviel's satellite with its relaxation blasts. Shows how smart the two girls are.
135	* Additionally, Gretchen is [[NoSell completely unaffected]] by Lax's powers. The reason, apparently, is because [[LoopholeAbuse she finds work relaxing in and of itself]].
136	%%[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E22Remmy "Remmy"]]]]
137	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E23MrsHasagawasCatsAce "Mrs. Hasagawa's Cats"]]]]
138	* Aside from being sweet, [[ScatterbrainedSenior Mrs. Hasagawa]] having [[HiddenDepths the capacity]] to take care of multiple "kitties" (experiments). Now anyone else would be in danger of a hoarding situation, but "hoarding" is defined as taking in more pets ''than you can handle''. It's possible for someone to take care of multiple pets, and Mrs. Hasagawa is more than capable of loving, nurturing and understanding each "kitty's" individual needs.
139	[[AC:[[Recap/LiloAndStitchTheSeriesS2E23MrsHasagawasCatsAce "Ace"]]]]
140	* Ace's introduction is with a HeroicFireRescue that involves him making a makeshift parachute out of a curtain and saving a cat from the fiery building. For a "faulty" experiment, he's quite heroic.
141	* The original version of the episode [[WhatCouldHaveBeen that was storyboarded but got cut]] had Jumba saving Pleakley from the tidal wave they staged after Ace nearly ruined the illusion.
