Go To

1* ''Anime/{{Vandread}}'' has numerous moments like this, but because of the show's focus on CombiningMecha and ThePowerOfFriendship, many of them are shared between several people.
2** Solo moments:
3*** Jura has both her BigDamnHeroes scene while on painkillers after being wounded and [[TenMinutesInTheCloset locking Dita and Hibiki in a room so that they could resolve their issues]]. Bonus points for ''broadcasting the whole thing to the entire ship''.
4*** For Meia, TheStoic, the SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments in the anime are more memorable than any amount of badassery she performed.
5*** Dita's RousingSpeech to a dejected crew in the season one finale.
6*** Bart got his moment to shine in his ADayInTheLimelight episode when he singlehandedly destroyed a harvest ship.
7*** Hibiki has plenty of these, but when he says Dita's name just before the end credits in the final episode, he manages to top everything else he did during the entire series.
8*** Paksis ''is'' the thing that obliterated a superweapon about to blow up the galaxy, when everyone else was powerless to stop it, just because it wanted to protect its friends.
9** Shared moments:
10*** In the first season finale, Hibiki and Dita flying [[OutOfTheInferno out of a solar flare]] and ''punching'' through the enemy flagship after it survived a direct hit from another solar flare. It can also be argued that the whole collapsing a gas giant in order to create a star to blow up the enemy fleet with qualifies as a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for everyone involved.
11*** The first time that the four main characters [[CombiningMecha form]] to make Vandread Pyoro. [[TheBigOMG Moment ]] indeed !
12*** The four main characters' [[ShutUpHannibal response to an ]] attempted BreakingSpeech in the series finale.
13* Pyoro gets one. In episode 2 of ''Second Stage'', right after the power is restored to the whole ship and the elevator was plunging, Pyoro blocked the elevator from falling entirely by itself!
14* Bart gets one in episode 3 of second stage. Also counts as TookALevelInBadass. When protecting a pretty much diseased planet, where he got attached to a permanently sick girl, he unleashes Nirvana's [[BeamSpam secret weapons]].
15** How about the final episode: Just about everyone that the cast has met is now grouping together to defeat the Harvesters up to and including The Navies of Tarak and Majale defecting en masse.
16* The first time we see Vandread Dita, it rips open an opposing ship with its bare hands before obliterating it.
17* Super Vandread's debut, in which it effortless stomps a fake Nirvana robot hundreds of times its size.
