History EstablishingCharacterMoment / AnimeAndManga

** Rentarou is introduced that rejects him even though he's a NiceGuy and telling his friend this is the 100th time he's been rejected, showing him as a LoveFreak (and, incidentally, presenting how this series has NoFourthWall). His meeting with Hakari and Karane shows his penchant for LoveMakesYouDumb for believing their thin excuses. Punching himself in the face for even considering secretly two-timing them demonstrates he's an AllLovingHero. And the convoluted game he makes up to give his FirstKiss shows the type of {{Zany Scheme}}s he will come up with to make the girls happy.
** Hakari flirtatiously asks Rentarou to carry her to the nurse office since she's hurt, showing her CovertPervert side.
** Karane rejects needing to be carried to the office while indirectly accepting Rentarou's help, demonstrating her {{Tsundere}}ness.

** Nano acts emotionlessly when she works with Rentarou, but she copies the image in her textbook instead of using the microscope to see the real deal claiming it's more efficient, and when Rentarou gets a cut on his finger she sucks on it. This establishes her as a EmotionlessGirl with an obsession for efficiency who is NotSoAboveItAll when it comes to being quirky.

** Hahari begins by showing how stern she is in trying to keep Hakari from Rentarou, as an overprotective mother... but it is after she has her ''ZING!'' with Rentarou when she shows her ''real'' self, which is someone who's even more of a LoveFreak than her daughter.

*** Buu has four, one for each of his personas.
*** As Fat Buu, when first awoken, he dances around for several minutes laughing like a kid, much to everyone's confusion. Then Dabura (who is at least as strong as the previous arc's BigBad) insults him and Buu punches his eyes out before pasting him into the nearest cliff. Later in that scene, when Babidi sets Buu on Dabura (because Dabura very sensibly told Babidi that Buu was uncontrollable and they should kill him when they had a chance), Buu tanks all of Dabura's attacks before turning him into a cookie and eating him.
*** As Evil Buu, he obliterates Van Zant with a SlasherSmile.
*** As Super Buu, he liquifies himself and pours down Smitty's throat, [[CruelAndUnusualDeath inflating him until he explodes from the inside]].
*** As Kid Buu, his ''first action'' is to try to blow up Earth, and when Goku and Vegeta barely stop him in time, he responds by making an attack ''10 times bigger'', making him the first villain to actually destroy Earth, after both Vegeta and Cell threatening it.

** The audience gets to know the kind of person [[VillainProtagonist Light]] becomes when we learn that in the time between acquiring the Death Note and meeting Ryuk, he's already written ''pages'' of names within the Note, knowing that they're all dead by his hand. And then he proclaims his plans to use the Death Note to become [[AGodAmI "God of the New World"]].

** Lelouch gets multiple of these in Episode 1. First, he turns around a nearly lost chess game by moving his king piece first, establishing himself as a brilliant tactician with a penchant for bold, audacious, and borderline reckless moves. Then, when Kallen crashes her truck, he is pretty much the only bystander who goes to help (while everyone else just stands around with their cellphones out and wonders where the ambulance is), establishing him as the one guy who will get his hands dirty to help a stranger. When he is trapped in said truck later, he deduces he is in Tokyo's old subway system by ear, showing his vast encyclopedic knowledge. This is often overlooked, but when he believes he's about to die, he thinks of his [[MoralityPet little sister]]--the one person he'd go to any length to protect. Finally, at the end of the episode, after using his MagicalEye to make the soldiers threatening him kill themselves, he flashes an [[PsychoticSmirk Evil Grin]], revealing just what kind of a fabulous WellIntentionedExtremist he is about to start transforming into.
** In the first episode, Suzaku proceeds to give Lelouch his only gas mask when the (supposed) container of poison gas opens, and then gets shot for refusing to kill Lelouch for [[HeKnowsTooMuch witnessing something he shouldn't]]. This becomes a lot more significant once we get TheReveal about [[DeathSeeker Suzaku's motivations]].

** ''Anime/AfterWarGundamX'': In his first minute on screen, Garrod Ran hijacks a Mobile Suit, ''with nothing but a 9mm and a homemade flash bang''; he then goes on to "rescue" a girl from kidnappers, steal a Gundam, wipe out an army with his Gundam's WaveMotionGun and put his girl into a coma.
