History Awesome / DigimonTheMovie

* Despite his macabre and abominable appearance and not even saying a single word in the Japanese dub (only communicating through text), Diablomon is some of the most dangerous and cunning lifeforms that threatened an apocalypse, fighting the [=DigiDestined=] with unprecedented tactics rarely seen in the franchise's history. The first thing that lets you know this thing is bad news is he warp evolves from a Rookie to an Ultimate right before Agumon and Tentomon could and '''attack their Digimon on the middle of Digivolving''' before making his run to mess up more electronic devices. The next time we see him, he evolves into the Mega-level Diablomon and disables Patamon before he can even evolve, and overwhelms [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] by taking advantage of Izzy's toilet break and Tai's impulsiveness, then launching multiple peacekeeper missiles to nuke humanity after ''ten minutes'' while attacking Tai and Matt's Mega-levels to the point they can no longer fight with thousands of his clones. Even when facing Omnimon, Diablomon still stalls him all the way to the last second before a [=DDoS=] attack slows him long enough for Omnimon to land a finishing blow. It's an impressive level of cunning and virulence unseen in most other apocalyptic threats, and the only other one that plays to that level is [[Anime/DigimonGhostGame Regulusmon]], who is introduced more than '''2 decades later'''!

* After repeating the mid transformation attack on Patamon, TK cries out that he's coming to help him, leading to one of the best lines in the movie.
** "TK...you can't. (To [=MetalGarurumon=]) BUT YOU CAN!!" ([=MetalGarurumon=] tears into Diaboromon)

** Notably, all the Diaboromon clones had been watching while sticking to the walls, and remained still while firing their attacks en masse. After a great number of them are taken out with their own attacks reflected back? All of them are [[MassOhCrap start scurrying about]] and notably try to clear out of the [[{{BFG}} Supreme Cannon’s]] blast zone before getting eclipsed in the explosions.

** Omnimon's grand entrance is awesome in its own right; his fusion is backed up by Graeme Revell's powerful score, and the shift to "Let's Kick It Up" after Omnimon swings the Transcendent Sword underlines that he's just turned the fight around ''definitively''.

* How about Omegamon/Omnimon's first appearance in ''Digimon: TheMovie''? Beaten and broken, [=WarGreymon=] and [=MetalGarurumon=] get power from kids all around the world, and they digivolve together to form Omnimon, a huge badass White Knight with [[{{BFS}} Grey Sword]] and [[{{BFG}} Garuru Cannon]]. Omnimon then proceeds to casually destroy thousands of copies of the Mega-level Digimon Diaboromon (actually, probably over a million, as Izzy notes), just one of which was giving his previous forms massive difficulty. It was badass and perhaps the best introduction for any Digimon ever.

* During the fight against Diaboramon, Wargreymon's Dramon Slayers are torn off. So what does he do? CLOCK Diaboramon right in the jaw! No fancy attacks necessary, just a straight up punch to the face. Wargreymon is just that badass.

* Infermon subverting TransformationIsAFreeAction and taking down Metalgreymon and Megakabuterimon.

** "TK...you can't. (To [=MetalGarurumon=]) BUT YOU CAN!!" ([=MetalGarurumon=] tears into Diaboramon)

*** before that, Greymon and Kabuterimon put up a great fight against Infermon, who is revealed to be a higher level than them.
** After repeating the mid transformation attack on Patamon, TK cries out that he's coming to help him, leading to one of the best lines in the movie.
*** "TK...you can't. (To [=MetalGarurumon=]) BUT YOU CAN!! ([=MetalGarurumon=] tears into Diaboramon)
*** "WIPE HIM OUT!!" ([=WarGreymon=] then proceeds to punch Diaboromon as described above)
** Also the tradition of Digimon [[CallingYourAttacks shouting the names of their moves]], spurred on by these being ''Mega'' level attacks, leading to an exchange of "[[MacrossMissileMassacre ICE WOLF BITE!]]" vs "[[ChestBlaster WEB WRECKER...]]"

* Another thing that makes Bokura no War Game so awesome is when you realise that it was major foreshadowing. How so? Well remember that the movie is in fact Canon (having been mentioned in series by two of the characters), and that during it, kids from all over the world were watching, including the protaganists of 02. Anyone remember what the requirements for becoming a digidestined in 01 and 02 were? It was by ''seeing'' a digimon. Now if the children watching had in fact amounted to, oh say, ''50 million'', you suddenly realise where they all came from during the final episode of 02. ChekhovsGun indeed!
* Greymon's first appearance in the movie, first Parrotmon {{NoSell}}s Agumon's attacks and destroys the bridge above him, Tai and Kari and they get covered in rubble, phone's and lights around them go haywire, dust clears to reveal a {{Kaiju}} sized Greymon. Cue epic fight.

** Rapidmon fires two missiles at Cherubimon that for a few seconds, don't appear to do much damage. A second later and Cherubimon's head gets blown up.
* Even though they're really just there to empower Veemon and Terriermon into their Golden Armor forms, Angemon and Angewoman digivolving into Seraphimon and Magnadramon is pretty damn awesome, and all the better for it happening for the first time on the big screen.
** And like any high-tier digivolution, they get an awesome TransformationSequence:
--->"Angemon, warp digivolve to...!" ''(With a spin of his staff before it disappears, his helmet vanishes as his back faces the camera with a flash of light, briefly turning into [=MagnaAngemon=] when he faces forward before flashing again into the armor-clad Digimon with ten golden wings)'' "'''''[[PowerEchoes Seraphimon!]]'''''"\\
"Angewomon, digivolve to...!" ''(Helmet flies up with her face obscured by her hair as the camera pans upward after it, the helm flaring in pink light before Angewomon is revealed in an [[EnergyBeings energy form]] before solidifying into a serpentine dragon of the same color)'' "'''''[[DragonsAreDivine Magnadramon!]]'''''"
