* [[EstablishingSeriesMoment The initial battle between]] [[AgentPeacock Genesis]] and [[ByronicHero Cloud]].
* Vincent spooking and killing Hojo.
-->'''Vincent:''' [[BondOneLiner For Lucretia]].
* Genesis's BigDamnHeroes moment and finishing off JENOVA. Cloud and Sephiroth tried to but due to their heavy experimentation and S-cells, Jenova successfully stops them and attempts to MindRape both of them into fighting each other. Genesis comes in, looking extremely angry at the whole turn of events and wondering what is going on, and [[MundaneSolution casually fires off a few Firagas]] roasting JENOVA and ending the conflict.
** Immediately afterwards, Genesis succeeds in finally non-lethally taking down Cloud. And then heal him and Sephiroth and keep them alive.
* Cloud managing to convince Lord Kisuragi to cut his losses and surrender to maintain their independence and recover their resources. Significant in that Cloud isn't much of a diplomat and Godo had no plans to surrender. Even moreso considering that one point he was ready to give up and just kill Lord Kisaragi, failing because once again Yuffie stole his materia, forcing him back to the negotiation table and succeeding the second time.
