History Awesome / ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney

* In Redux, the New routes in essence: when all seems lost after Demeter snatches the Cosmic Fruit, Louisa Ferre appears to inform you that she has fled to where the Three Wise Men are and helps you track them down and stop them from executing their mad view of paradise... (Which shows that Lucifer really cares about humanity, and yes, she even supports the lawful choice, since in this case it was mankind's own decision, not Sheiknah's). When you confront them, they reveal indirectly they were Shekinah all along and transform into their true form(which is admittedly weaker than YHVH at full power, since YHVH even after being fused via Metatron and Demiurge hasn't quite returned to full power yet), threatening to destroy you... and you beat them. TWICE. Yes, another [=MegaTen=] game that lets you KillTheGod. Even funnier and cooler as well is that the actual YHVH you can form via Metatron and Demiurge on New Game Plus can be used to punch out Shekinah. Yep, God is under your control and even he gets a chance to KillTheGod, as weird as it sounds.

** In the New Law Ending, Zelenin has her faith in humanity restored, and she decides to her song not to brainwash humanity, but rather to remove its capacity for hatred and toxic aggression. The World of Law that occurs is one where humans still have the capacity to defend themselves, but gone is their impulsive nature, and in its place is a desire to seek cooperative solutions whenever differences arise. On top of the ending being [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments awesomely empathetic]], the whole ending is one major SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Zelenin. Even though she'll always be thankful to the angels for guiding her along the path she believes in the most, she promptly demonstrates just how and why she'll ''always'' be better in demonstrating those ideals, giving one giant "fuck you" to [[TrueFinalBoss Shekinah]] in the process.

** In the New Chaos Ending, Jimenez also has his faith in humanity restored and promptly kicks the shit out of both the angels ''and'' the demons, and uses the Vanishing Point to create a world where freedom and adventure reigns absolute, only without the toxic social darwinism present in the original ending. A world where even the lowliest of humans can rise to greatness with their demons and their skills, Jimenez creates a World of Chaos that represented what he believed before his temporary FaceHeelTurn: one where ''everybody'' can make it in their life, and one where humans and demons alike can coexist in harmony together.

*** Subverted in ''Redux'', due to Alex revealing to the protagonist that in her world, the future that he creates, the Scharzwelt returns and humanity couldn't stop it the second time. And then double subverted in GLORIOUS fashion when the protagonist uses the Cosmic Fruit to turn himself into TheDreaded for all of demon and angelkind and uses the Cosmic Egg to destroy the Scharzwelt every time it emerges. By the time you reach the post credit scene, he's about to head off to eliminate the ''seventh iteration of the Schwarzwelt!'' {{Characters/Doom}}guy would be proud.

* Sealing [[UngratefulBastard the Demiurge]] [[SealedEvilInACan back into its can]]. [[AssholeVictim Smug bastard deserved it]], and it's a victory you've [[BonusBoss EARNED]].
** If you're on the Law route, if you opt to not seal the Demiurge away, he will join you. Yes, the BonusBoss ''joins'' you.
* [[AFatherToHisMen Commander Gore]], restored by the power of the Ubergestalt, [[BackFromTheDead comes back]] and implores you to DareToBeBadass and to [[EvilIsNotAToy ignore the temptations the demons and angels offer]] [[TakeUpMySword to finish the mission]]. If you agree to his request, he empowers you to see Mem Aleph and ''thanks'' you and the crew, finally fading into the greater beyond. One of the few occasions in the series where you're praised by choosing the higher path, and a CMOH to boot.
* Watching the demon lords of each sector lose their marbles by means of a ShutUpHannibal.
** Talk to the demons in the final sector. If they aren't on your side, they freak out when they realize who you are. You've become so powerful that ''ancient gods and devils fear you on reputation alone''.
* Asura's rage-inflicting [[HatePlague Asura Roga]] attack makes the fight against him very frustrating if you try to fight him normally. The solution? [[DuelBoss Fight him all by yourself]], no demon allies, and just heal whenever you're not busy ''tearing him to shreds.''
** From Asura's point of view: Asura Roga is the Hate Plague in attack form. It is also ThatOneAttack for many players. ''[[FridgeBrilliance Asura Roga crosses the]] [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou fourth wall!]]''
* Occasionally, Horkos summons a minion, which he will eat a few turns later to recover HP. If you inflict a status ailment on the minion, Horkos will contract it upon consumption. Food poisoning!
* Having the ultimate ThatOneAttack, M.A, actually fail to hit! [[https://youtu.be/c8NLJxN41NQ?t=174 Check this out!]] Watch the impossible happen right before your eyes!
** What makes this particular example even more awesome is that the music simply ceases to be to crank up the tension... And then reveals the attack missed.
* An OffscreenMomentOfAwesome for the people of Earth revealed at Carina: when the team contacts the Joint Project for the first time, they learned that the Schwartzwelt has advanced to the point that the Project can no longer cover it up, and demons have been appearing in populated areas. However, it's also stated that in the face of this new threat, all the world's nations have put aside their differences in order to fight back! It gives the player hope that maybe, just maybe, humanity can learn its lesson from the Schwartzwelt crisis after all.

** In the New Law Ending, Zelenin has her faith in humanity restored to the point she uses her song not to brainwash humanity, but rather to remove its capacity for hatred and toxic aggression. The World of Law that occurs is one where humans still have the capacity to defend themselves, but gone is their impulsive nature, and in its place is a desire to seek cooperative solutions whenever differences arise. On top of the ending being [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments awesomely empathetic]], the whole ending is one major SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for Zelenin. Even though she'll always be thankful to the angels for guiding her along the path she believes in the most, she promptly demonstrates just how and why she'll ''always'' be better in demonstrating those ideals, giving one giant "fuck you" to [[TrueFinalBoss Shekinah]] in the process.
** In the New Neutral Ending, you realize that the responsibility of stopping the Schwartzwelt is not just a one and done affair. That Humanity now has to face this problem for the rest of their existence and with Jimenez and Zelenin going off the deep end and remembering your promise to Gore. You decided to take matters to your own hands and find a solution to not only destroy the Schwartzwelt while keeping the knowledge out of humanity's hands at the same time. You chose to become a godly being like the other two but without losing your humanity in doing so, choosing to watch over it and for the last thousand of years, it is still a pristine blue Earth.
** In the New Chaos Ending, Jimenez also has his faith in humanity restored and promptly kicks the shit out of both the angels ''and'' the demons, and uses the Vanishing Point to create a world where freedom and adventure reigns absolute, only without the toxic social darwinism present in the original ending. A world where even the lowliest of humans can rise to greatness with their demons and their skills, Jimenez creates a World of Chaos that represented what he believed before his temporary FaceHeelTurn: one where ''everybody'' can make it in their life, and one where humans and demons alike can coexist in harmony together.

* In essence, the [[LawfulGood New Law Ending]], [[NeutralGood New Neutral]] and [[ChaoticGood New Chaos Ending]] are this, and not just for the reasons listed:

* Having the ultimate ThatOneAttack, M.A, actually fail to hit! [[http://youtu.be/c8NLJxN41NQ Check this out!]] Go to around 2:56, and watch the impossible happen right before your eyes!
