History Awesome / AngelBeats

** Yurippe figured out all on her own (or perhaps even knew from the very start) that Otonashi and Kanade were conspiring behind her back to change the course of Battlefront and get its members to accept their lives so that they can move on, and she drops this bombshell at an important group assembly...then proceeds to say that since it could be a solution for escaping the current crisis with the shadows, she will allow Otonashi to take charge of his own counter-effort against the shadows and leave it up to the Battlefront members' choice whether or not they want to accept his ideals and try to move on. It's an impressive display of not only [[MagnificentBitch how smart Yuri can be, but how fair she can be as well.]]

** Episode 4:
* At the end, fans who dreaded Hinata departing upon doing what he couldn't in life just as Iwasawa had in the previous episode no doubt applauded Yui's last minute save...by tackling Hinata and putting him in a reverse swastika as payback for the beatings he'd given her throughout the episode.

* In episode 1, four members of the team rob the entire NPC student body blind by holding a [[ItMakesSenseInContext rock concert]]. Angel tried to intervene, and the entire team absolutely unloads all of their ammunition on her. That would be awesome enough for episode one, but the true awesome part? It only manages to slow her down.
* In episode 2, everything Yurippe does in the climax, from her one-on-one fight with Angel to her displays of impressive leadership skills that even gets Otonashi to acknowledge how amazing this girl is.
* Iwasawa's last concert in episode 3, culminating in her finally being able to sing the very personal ballad that she'd wanted to sing and reaching the entire audience, even Angel and the Student Council, with her singing. Also a DyingMomentOfAwesome as it causes her to finally pass on and disappear.

** At the start of that same episode, Yui pulls a [[HostileShowTakeOver Hostile Opening Takeover]], turning "My Soul, Your Beats" into an awesome rock ballad. And it is badass...until it ends and [[MoodWhiplash Yui accidentally lynches herself with the microphone cable]].
* Yurippe installing rockets onto the classroom chairs in episode 5. While the scene is funny, it's actually impressive how CrazyPrepared Yuri was in not only ensuring a greater distraction for the classes occurred if her flunkies failed to come up with a good distraction of their own, but that she had a sizable number of flunkies to blast off in their chairs following different distraction attempts in order to avoid total repetition that might get anyone suspicious or disenchanted by repeated lies and shenanigans.
* In episode 6, Otonashi and Angel break out of the detention room they'd been locked in by using his ideas and her Hand Sonic abilities.

* All team members that sacrificed themselves in episode 8 got this but TK and Matsushida are the most notable ones. Hinata even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this, by comparing it to a scene from shonen manga.

* Yuri ''winning'' a one-on-one fight against one of Angel's clones on episode 8.

* Episode 11 has EVERYONE (except Ooyama, Fujimaki and Takamatsu) being a badass in the first open battle against the Shadows.

-->'''NPC''': What will you do now?\\

'''Yuri''': Look, buddy. I'm gonna tell you something. We humans... ''(flash back to when Yuri's siblings were murdered due to her not being able to bring the robbers something valuable in time)'' we aren't real big on waiting. You ask me, [[SuddenyShouting WE'VE BEEN WAITING LONG ENOUUUGH]]! ''(raises her gun and opens fire)''

** Episode 7, Angel goes fishing.
