You're doing amazing, sweetie.

BEWARE OF UNMARKED SPOILERS

---

Season 1

"Baymax Returns"

• Just as Yama is about to have Fred and Hiro "disposed of", Wasabi, GoGo, and Honey Lemon make a Big Damn Heroes entrance.
• Honey Lemon freezing Yama.
• Hiro creates another memory chip for Baymax, and it's even red like his previous "destroy" chip, but his one is labeled with a man in a cape and is designed to make Baymax more proactive in helping people. It's his "Hero" chip.
• Baymax being able to infiltrate the other bootlegged Baymaxes due to having the same exoskeleton.
• Honey Lemon takes out one of the bootlegged Baymaxes using the chemical metal imbrittlement that she demonstrated in the original movie. What's more, she does so nonchalantly.
• Honey Lemon saving Baymax right before he can fall a great height.
  Honey: We're not losing anybody on my watch!

"Issue 188"

• Hiro saving Karmi right before she can be crushed by a falling lamppost.
• GoGo finding the solution to defeat High Voltage by herself by using insulated chemicals on her disks, dodging High Voltage's attacks and depriving them of their energy orb in less than 10 seconds.

"Fred's Bro-Tillion

• The costume montage along with the glorious music in the back as the team fly to Fred's house. Sure, it turns right to funny when they see Fred being given a pedicure by Heathcliff and Fred was not in danger in the first place.
• There is something satisfying to see Stan Lee's character, Mr. Fredrickson, punching a Yeti in the face.
• Fred defeating Baron Von Steamer using the dance lessons Baymax taught him.

"Food Fight"

• Aunt Cass beating her "Food Fight" opponents without cheating, which Felony Carl didn't even think was possible. She even turns her foes' cheating against them once or twice.
• Aunt Cass being the one to defeat Momakase by using the net she trapped her in and the anti-gravity.

"Muirahara Woods"

• The team fighting against Ned Ludd using nothing more but Bamboo Technology and a few Pit Traps.

"Failure Mode"

• Globby gaining better control of his new powers and escaping with the painting after an episode of failure.
• Hiro getting back at Karmi after she spent the whole episode humiliating him and taking a picture of her baffled face at his project who got a better grade than hers.
  Hiro: And scene.

"Aunt Cass Goes Out"

• Mel being able to tie and gag Krei and impersonate him. Considering it happens off-screen, Mel must've been pretty strong to be able to neutralize Krei with ease.
• Aunt Cass' driving skills while escaping the Buddy Guards.
• Hiro being able to ride a Buddy Guard while the latter tries to make him fall.

"The Impatient Patient"

• Even if they're mostly comedic, The Mad Jacks are still competent at what they do and actually give a hard time to the team.
• Baymax being able to send all three Mad Jacks into the water by simply sending his rocket-fist at the right place.
• Hiro defeating Greg Jack from his bed with his robot double and while simultaneously drinking tea.

"Mr. Sparkles Loses His Sparkles"

• GoGo running a killer death course while dressed as a piece of broccoli.
• Hiro pulling a Big Damn Heroes and using Skymax to rescue Mochi before his rocket can be sent to space.

"Killer App"

• GoGo catching and carrying Honey Lemon while dodging flying cars.
• Hiro and Wasabi defeating Noodle Burger Boy by changing armors and making Noodle Burger Boy not predict their next move.

"Small Hiro One"

• The beginning of the episode. Hiro is able to dodge Mega Yama's attacks and sends Yama flying.

• Wendy Wower and the kids distracting Yama and his goons while Hiro infiltrate Trevor's workshop.
• The gang who unwillingly created an undefeatable version of Mega Yama using their field of research. Even them admit they did too good of a job.
• Hiro thinking of using baking soda and vinegar from his time with Wendy Wower to defeat Mega Yama. He basically defeated him with a science project volcano.

"Kentucky Kaiju"

• Hiro vs. Noodle Burger Boy. Sure, it quickly backfires when Hiro loses control of his super strength device, but seeing him defeat Noodle Burger, who can guess your moves before you do them, was pretty awesome when it happened. So was his smug grin when he did it.
• Hiro tricking the Kentucky Kaiju robot into frying itself on power lines.

"Rivalry Weak"

• Obake being able to trick Honey to give him Shimamoto's journal by wearing a Paper-Thin Disguise.
• The team defeating Obake's deadly rooms' riddles.
  • Just the fact that Obake had the time and energy to design booby-trapped rooms who are exact replicas of the originals (Fred's room, Hiro's room, Lenore Shimamoto's lab). Give that man credit for that.
• Obake being able to leave the room without a trace after a Badass Fingersnap that turned the lights off.

"Fan-Friction"

• The action scenes from this episode were awesomely animated. Bonus points? It was made by the Nørlum studio, who quite visibly got way better in animating the series' drawing style.
• GoGo chasing Momakase through San Fransokyo and using Karmi's vertical skating. And succeeding at catching up to Momakase.
• Momakase vs. Honey and GoGo. Sure, Momakase ends up defeating them, but that woman really is a One-Woman Army.
• Baymax's Overdrive Mode, hands down.
• Honey and Fred using the ice shower from Karmi's fan-fiction to escape Akuma Island right before it can be destroyed.

"Mini-Max"

"Big Hero 7"

• Barb and Juniper successfully stealing Krei's batteries.
• High Voltage's Dance-Off in Joe's Diner.
  Joe: [looking around his destroyed diner] What a mess. But what a performance!
• Barb showing herself as an Action Mom by car surfing and backflipping over Baymax like it's no biggie. She might be the oldest and most well-endowed part of the duo, but she can still pack quite a punch.
• Also counts as heartwarming, Barb zapping Richardson Mole after he insults Juniper's dancing. The whole episode where Richardson was acting like a manipulative Spoiled Brat, you can't say he didn't deserve it.

"Big Problem"

• The introduction of team's new ultra-armors.
• Karmi beating Orso Knox by herself with her extradermal nanoreceptors right before he can attack Liv Amara.

"Obake Yashiki"

• The Tadashi illusion gives Hiro some "advice" not to fix Baymax and he doesn't need limits. But Hiro knows his brother too well that he would never let his creation remain unrepaired.
• Hiro and GoGo discovering Obake's illusions come from lenses put on them at the haunted house at the same time.

"Countdown To Catastrophe"

• Obake prompting Hiro to build the energy amplifier he needs simply by having Globby attempt to steal a Krei prototype and knowing Krei would explain it to him. That man is a goddamn mastermind.

• Obake stealing Hiro's energy amplifier and using Buddy Guards to escape while doing a farewell salute to Hiro.
• Globby pulling a Heel–Face Turn, globbing Momakase against the wall and escaping with Hiro.
• Wasabi vs. Momakase, Round 2. Wasabi definitely Took a Level in Badass after watching fencing instructions online and even gives Momakase a hard time during their fight.
  • GoGo saving Wasabi, whom had one of his laser blades destroyed and found himself cornered by Momakase, by throwing disks linked with ropes at her, tying her hands and wrists and immobilizing her.
  GoGo: [smiles at Wasabi] I got bored waiting on the bus.
• The team and Globby working together to save San Fransokyo from Obake's star.

Season 2

"Internabout"

• Hiro saving Krei's life and defeating Trina and Noodle Burger Boy with his mini-magnet in the space of a single minute. Sometimes you forget this kid is only 14.

"Prey Date"

• Karmi finding a cure for Knox in a few seconds by herself. Even Liv is impressed.
• Orso Knox saving Hiro's life twice.
• Karmi basically being the one to cure Knox, even if it was branded as a "teamwork" at Sycorax.

"Something's Fishy"

• Barb's Villain Song, enough said.
• Honey Lemon using a giant gummy bunny as a force field shield to protect her and her friends against High Voltage's electricity.
• Even if they escaped not long after, seeing Fred use his new chameleon suit and temporarily restrain them was pretty awesome.

"Nega-Globby"

• Honey being able to transform Globby back into a human. Seriously... Globby is only made of glob and the neurotransmitter. She was able to actually transform all that glob back into the same human Dibs once was. That's pretty impressive.
• Globby's fight with Nega-Globby. Not only is it a contender for one of the best action scenes in the series and scored with some serious Awesome Music, it's also a perfect example of just how much Globby has come into his powers, going from a Harmless Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain to a powerful Bunny-Ears Lawyer.
  Globby: And that is how you monster.
• Honey Lemon using her updated cannon chem-ball purse against Nega-Globby in the same scene.

"The Fate Of The Roommates"

• Heathcliff's driving skills where he easily avoids hitting a woman with a baby and avoids a truck like it were nothing.
• Heathcliff was simply awesome this whole episode. Especially when racing through San Fransokyo as part of his undercover act.
  Heathcliff: Be a dear, and fetch me an ice tea.
• Gogo revealing her new hyper-cycle. If not from Mr. Sparkles calling his airship, she would've caught him.

"Muira-Horror!"

• Mochi vs. a mutated Ned Ludd. The small, obese cat makes the giant hibagon run for his money.
  • Also has a layer of heartwarming in that Mochi only started to attack once Ludd was about to attack Hiro. Mochi risked it all to protect his owner.

"Something Fluffy"

• Even if she's a villain and it's frustrating since we're rooting for the heroes, you gotta admit Liv's Xanatos Gambit was well-played and happened exactly like she wanted it to.
• Seeing Karmi, the designated Damsel in Distress, join the action and help Big Hero 6 and Liv turn the Mayoi back into their infant form.

"Supersonic Sue"

• Mr. Frederickson pulling a Big Damn Heroes and saving the team from Baron Von Steamer and Supersonic Sue.
  • For extra awesomeness points? It's his first physical appearance that's not on a screen, and he kicks all the ass that needs to be kicked. Badass indeed.

"Lie Detector"

• There is something quite surprising and awesome about seeing Chris tackle a bear. Sure, he's scientifically enhanced, but still... a BEAR.
• Baymax Playing Possum and knocking a punch on Bessie when she expects it less. Even Hiro didn't see that coming. Sure, Bessie escapes with the gold soon after, but that doesn't take away how awesome that moment is.
  Baymax: I lied so you would not get hurt.

"Write Turn Here"

• The team rounding up the NBB copies offscreen while NBB was busy telling his part of the fanfic.

"City of Monsters, Part 1"

• Hiro and Karmi finally bury the hatchet on their rivalry and combine their fields of expertise into making nano-bots that can evade and combat parasites with Karmi's cure.

"City of Monsters, Part 2"

• Hiro's "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight with Karmi is half Heartwarming and half this: he totally wins the fight without doing anything violent. When Karmi comes back to her senses, she protects Hiro from the hulked-out Chris, and Diane, who effortlessly mind-controls all the other monsters in this episode, can't regain control of her.
  • Right afterwards, Karmi violently attacking Chris to protect Hiro. Even if Chris eventually gains the upper hand, Karmi refuses to give up.
  • Though offscreen, Karmi beating the living lights out of Chris after the real Liv transforms him back.
• Di unleashes monsters on the city to occupy the team and stop them from interfering with her. GoGo, Honey, Wasabi, and Fred initially lose while divided, but then, GoGo takes the lead and decides to get all the monsters in one place so the heroes could fight as a team. By now, they can do it efficiently, and they pull several Big Damn Heroes moments for each other. Namely:
  • As Bessie hits Fred with her magnetic breath and Orso Knox is about to tear him apart, Honey jumps in front of him and stops Orso Knox with a chem-ball. Momakase then cuts through it, only for Wasabi to catch her claws on his new shield.
    Wasabi: Breach this!
  • As High Voltage lounges at them, GoGo joins the fight and hits them with her hower-disk. Mr. Sparkles follows her with Mayoi, so Honey Lemon creates a slide for them and buries the other villains in Mayoi.
• Fred laments that his usual plan for sticky situations is to rely on Hiro's plans, which isn't possible because the latter is being held captive by Di. Fortunately, he comes with with the idea of having Mini-Max call Ned Ludd over to tame Bessie, showing that he's capable of good plans in a pinch.
• Bessie uses her magnetic breath to deactivate the bio-chips of Di's minions, which wouldn't have been possible if she didn't turn Bessie into a bear.
• Momakase and Di believed the rest of the team would be useless without Hiro and Baymax, and they proved them wrong, showcasing Character Development along the way.
• The real Liv wakes up after being terminally ill and spending a long time in stasis and looks as disorientated and exhausted as one would expect, and the first thing she does? She saves Hiro from being mutated, deactivates Karmi and Chris' implants and chews out her Evil Doppelgänger for what she had done.

"Mini-Maximum Trouble"

"El Fuego"

• Fred catching the Smart Ball, and helping Hiro against the titular villain with Hiro's exo-suit.
  El Fuego: What do you think you're going to do, fly-weight?
  Fred: (in Hiro's room, wearing his ultra-armor helmet) Something really smart!
  (The magnets on the exo-suit are activated; they pull El Fuego's armor off, leaving him defenseless)

"The Globby Within"

• The second fight against Nega-Globby is just as awesome as the first one, if not more so. It starts with Globby turning into an egg-shape and emerging in butterfly form, and ends with him getting absorbed by Nega-Globby in a reversal of "Nega-Globby"... only to transform into a mass of huge spikes, impaling Nega-Globby from the inside and splitting him into pieces small enough to be contained. And once again, it's all set to some Awesome Music.

"Hiro the Villain"

• Through her research Megan comes to the conclusion that Hiro is a part of Big Hero 6. Especially notable since it shows how she does it.
  • Despite Krei and Granville keeping shut about it, she's done enough research to know their connections to the team.
  • She then pickpockets her dad's phone to find a recording of an interview with Callaghan. She then looks into the fire at SFIT, and discovers that Tadashi Hamada was the victim of the fire.
  • By the end of the episode, Megan has deduced that Hiro is part of Big Hero 6 since he's connected to every major event associated with Big Hero 6.

"Portal Enemy"

"Fred the Fugitive"

"Major Blast"

• Simmax, the new training room at HQ, definitely counts.

"Fear Not"

• Wasabi finally having the spotlight qualifies, after over 2 years of being in the shadows.
• Wasabi is able to overcome his fear of public speaking, and is even the one to save the day.

"Legacies"

• Globby's Big Damn Heroes moment in saving Hiro and Baymax from the Buddy Guardians, allowing them to defeat the battalion and move on to saving the city.
  • Later, Globby uses his powers to combat the Buddy Guardians by turning into a giant metal fist and also taking control over one of the Guardians and using its blaster against the others.
• Just when it seems Trina has the upper-hand on Hiro and Baymax, cue the new robot, Mega-Max coming in piloted by Roddy and Mini-Max, punching Trina and preventing her army from melting down the city.
• Hiro defeats the Buddy Guardians by having his Megabot army replace their Obake chips with Baymax chips, which is karmic considering that Baymax was brainwashed by an Obake chip in Season 1.

Season 3

The Hyper-Potamus Pizza-Party-Torium

• Wasabi, Honey Lemon and GoGo pulling yet another Big Damn Heroes together to aid Fred and Hiro against the animatronics at the Pizza-Party-Torium. What makes it more awesome, is how Fred and Hiro previously lost faith and thought their friends forgot about them and didn't prioritize Big Hero 6 as much anymore. That scene proves them wrong and they are glad it does.

Mayor for a Day

• Hiro and Wasabi working together to stop Richardson's monster truck, who was previously thought to be indescructible.

Trading Chips

• Hiro and Aunt Cass using Megabots with headbands to get Mochi's paw unstucked from the vent.
• Mini-Max finally getting back at Crushroom at the end of the episode, after spending the previous minutes being humiliated verbally and beaten down.

Mini Noodle Burger Max

• Baymax, Mini-Max and Noodle Burger Boy working together as a team against Baron Von Steamer to save their families.
• Noodle Burger Boy being the hero of the episode using his own battery cables to recharge the Maxes so they can defeat Steamer and use his tank to save everyone else.

A Friendly Face

Big Chibi 6

• Karmi saving the day with a gauntlet she made; it reprograms the evil Captain Cutie chibis to serve her, instead of Hardlight.
