Awesome / Sluggy Freelance

Riff

• I'm union. (Though there's something a little disturbing about that)
  • And preceding that - "It's more of a philosophy."
• All of Dangerous Days Ahead, though that's a CMoA for everyone. Especially:
  • Resigning
  • "Party Favors"
  • Generally lots of violence
• Everything has a manual
• I'm not running from HER, I'm running because... big-ass explosion you didn't see coming!
• This strip, and the speech within it.
  Riff: I don't care if it erases me from existence, or what it does to this city. I'm going to make sure none of this ever happened. So I guess saying "sorry" is a little pointless.
  next panel
  Riff: Sorry.
• Riff succeeding in his Batman Gambit to save Zoe.
  Riff: I did it.

Torg

• The Truth hurts.
• Also stars in Dangerous Days Ahead
• Redemption is Overrated
• What is that Blade?
  • Ironic Echo (sort of) here.
• Honestly, much of the That Which Redeems arc should count, starting from here.
  • Also: one bad mother-bluffer.
• Omnitazer + Chaz The Sword = Torg's Kills: LOTS!
  • A little earlier, he takes out a roomful of zombies and makes it look easy.
• In the middle of a very serious arc where K'z'k is in control of Gwynn and trying to destroy her soul in a dreamworld, Torg kicks his ass due to thinking he's in a Fighting Game dream
• "I am trying very hard not to giggle." Chaz makes another fantastic appearance, with probably the most badass lines from Torg outside of "That Which Redeems".

Zoe

• Can take care of herself
• took her turn playing The Chessmaster.
• Makes a perfect wish
• And Noah Zark
• Throws like a Stormbreaker. Zoe 2, K'Z'K 0

Gwynn

• Plays an unconventional game of poker
  • No, its "You're so obsessed with what's behind me, how about I shove your butt into it!"
  • Making Bun-Bun seem almost vulnerable for a moment ("...Why?") - and surviving. A world-destroying demon is one thing. That rabbit is another.
• Can't leave a zombie coworker to rot out of existence alone.

Aylee

• Will adapt
• Is not a clone
• Is really pissed off.

Bun-Bun

• is practically condensed awesome given life (and a nasty switchblade). It takes something really over the top to be a CMoA for him:
• Bun-Bun, Overlord of the Hollidays! Just to summate, he's currently the Easter-Bunny, the Pumpkin-King of Halloween, and Santa Claus, all at once- and the remaining hollidays have bowed to him rather than risk obliteration. (If you're currently hearing The Imperial March playing in your head, you've got the right idea.)
  • You forgot about the power of Thanksgiving. He also has the groundhog's shadow.
• Makes a sandwich (out of a demon that is destined to destroy the world).
• They are my boys
• Can hold his evil
• BunBun vs. Oasis.
• Is wearing a dress.
• Bun-Bun, finally having enough of Oasis being on yet another Stalker with a Crush rampage.
  • And in the same strip, Bun-Bun both pointing out that he really does care about the rest of the cast and picking a fight with Oasis in the best way possible.
• Twice during the timeless space saga.
  • The truth about Bun Bun: The Bun-Bun that we were following in the story was actually Bun Bun before he lost his memories, so in other words, it was a different Bun-Bun.
  • Figuring out how to escape from timeless space thanks to Bun-Bun and baldy's escape. It takes a while to fully comprehend it while reading the strip.. One of the main goals of anyone that is trapped in timeless space is to escape it, and ironically one of the easiest ways is to just jump off a cliff, where you will land in the ocean, lose all you time, and eventually (maybe millions of years later but it won't matter) Uncle time will show up and return you to normal time space. However most people don't want to do this since it they think it is akin to dying to be thrown into the ocean. The most feared fate in timeless space is really the easiest escape route ever (assuming you don't drown before you run out of time, that is).
    • An extra notch of awesomeness added for foreshadowing.

Kiki

• Kiki plows through the Dimension of Sham-Pain

Oasis

• Yawn *Beat Panel* "Override B-1!"
• Is sort of unarmed
• "'slong as I can cut in."
• Oasis vs. Nash Straw
  • Oasis catches and returns a throwing knife.
  • Hands-free knifing
• Knows how to kill chocolate ice cream.
• "No more wedding dress to worry about!"
• Oasis happens to Bun-Bun and to Riff's robot.

Other

• "I pitted the fools!"
• The drowned rabbits are coming to dinner
  • "My friends Noga and Johnason, I'm NOT sorry for this."
• Just trying to keep it that way
• Torg, while stabbing a spirit: "Chaz, where do spirits in the spirit world go when you "kill" them?" Chaz: "They have no idea."
• "Are those them new combo sneaker-roller skates?"
• Start of Doctor Schlock's ascent into being Not-So-Harmless Villain: part one, part two.
• crosses with nightmare fuel, The poster◊ for the anima arc starts to depict a certain, demonic, shape.
