Awesome moments in ''VisualNovel/{{CLANNAD}}''.

'''As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff as per policy.]] Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''

* Tomoya delivering the winning shot in the basketball game. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} when you know who spurred him on.
* Sunohara taking on the entire soccer team back he was a freshmen. Talk about BadassDecay...
** When he pulls a BigDamnHeroes to save Mei from that same team, it's even more awesome.
* Tomoya earning his happy ending at the end of After Story. After going through hell, having his wife and child die, all of the good things that he did before come back and reverse time so he can live happily with Nagisa and Ushio.
** And prior to this, there's Tomoya calling out to Nagisa. Starting from the end of episode 16, he begins regretting calling out to Nagisa due to their meeting and relationship ending in her death. It's just before the ResetButton is hit that he realizes that he'd rather fall in love with her and go through all the pain again as opposed to just letting her walk away and never meeting her.
* How about Tomoya fighting a gang leader and not only holding his own, but actually getting hits in and practically ending it in a draw? He might not be as proficient of a fighter as Tomoyo but he's still pretty awesome.
** Still, it's undoubtedly Yukine who earns the awesome award for that episode, as she succeeds in preventing a battle between the two gangs.
* Nagisa gains one of her own in ''After Story'', when Tomoya is having a massive HeroicBSOD in which he's punching a wall in anger over losing a good job chance since his dad has been sent to jail... and not only she gives him a CooldownHug, but she manages to ''pin him to the wall to stop him from harming himself further'', nevermind that Tomoya is taller, physically stronger and quite healthier than Nagisa and not exactly in control of himself... Therefore, it's a big TakeThat to those who accuse Nagisa of being a weepy and whiny wall-flower. [[SilkHidingSteel She]] [[YamatoNadeshiko isn't.]] And she ''definitely'' earned the marriage proposal that followed.
** In a way, her death after giving birth to Ushio could be a DyingMomentOfAwesome.
%%* Tomoyo's first appearance dispatching the motorcycle gang.
%%* Akio and Tomoya dealing with the creeps who are trying to hit on Nagisa at the family restaurant.
%%* Kotomi opening up the window, letting the wind blow through her hair.
* During their "date", Sunohara, Sanae, Tomoya, and Nagisa run across a group of boys bullying a little girl. Before they go over to do something, the young girl's older brother comes just in time and [[BigBrotherInstinct chases the brats away.]] Also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
* Though it's also definitely soulcrushing, the fact that after having their [[OutlivingOnesOffspring daughter die before them]]--probably the most agonizing pain that no one should ever go through--Akio and Sanae keep it together to raise their granddaughter and support their son-in-law. Sanae actually ''refused to cry for five years'' just to take care of Ushio. People cite them as two of, if not ''the'', best parents in anime for a reason.
* In-series, the fact that Nagisa admits to her dad that she and Tomoya have had (offscreen) sex.
-->'''Tomoya:''' It takes a special kind of girl to say that to her parents. Actually, it takes a special kind of human to say that at all! You're one in a million, Nagisa.
