History Awesome / GodEater

!!Examples from the anime

** Lenka switches his God Arc to Gun Form through sheer force of will (as opposed to using the handle to switch between forms, according to the third episode), then he blast a Kongou in the '''FUCKING FACE''', saving a civilian in the process.

Given the [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalytic]] premise and the sheer amount of ridiculous moments of the God Eater media franchise, [[NeedsWikiMagicLove a neat archiving is needed to contain a whole colossal list of the most awesomest moments]].

** Doubles as a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments CMOF]].

[[folder: In General]]
* Many of these are possible in gameplay, such as showing up Lindow by soloing an [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Ouroboros]]. A later mission, "Thor's Banquet", has you facing off against four [[LightningBruiser Vajra]]. Alone. By this point in the game, you can tear through them.
* Blood Rage might be DifficultButAwesome to use, but it can be ''weaponized'' in some way, such as using it to momentarily stun any nearby Aragami, even the Ouroboros!
[[/folder]]

[[folder: God(s) Eater Burst/God Eater Resurrection]]
* The first scene of the game, which has Lindow, Sakuya and Soma waiting for the right moment to hunt down a Vajra, and it does. Though we didn't see how the hunt goes, it pretty much giving us a look at what the game has to offer.
* Lindow's three rules in surviving your first mission. Doubles as a [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments CMoF]].
--> Lindow: You got three orders: ''Don't die''. ''If your numbers are up, get out''. ''Lastly, hide''. If you're lucky, you can manage to caught it off guard and blast it. ''*beat*'' Wait, that's four, isn't it?
* The fact that Lindow was rumored to have killed an Ouroborros by himself.
** Fortunately, the pachi-slot game has a special mini-game where you, as Lindow, have to hit a triple 7, or a full 7 if you are lucky, in order to clobber the Ouroborros. If you win, you earn not only 27 points, but also a sweet shot of Lindow with a dead Ouroborros.
* Soma Schicksal's EstablishingCharacterMoment mainly consist of slashing down an Ogretail who just ate a God Eater[[note]]That's Eric der Vogelweid, by the way.[[/note]] and inform him of his "job". Scary, but awesome.
--> Soma: "Welcome to this god-awful/god-forsaken workplace!"
* Battered and tired after recently killed a Prithvi Mata, Lindow goes on to fight against the Dyaus Pita as he throw off his cigar, while doing a PowerWalk is pretty cool. Even though later on find out that he was defeated, at least he tried to.
* After presumingly "killed" Lindow in the infamous "Moon in the Welkins" mission, Alisa's small CharacterDevelopment story arc is this, as you help her out of her depression and making her one of the most useful [[CombatMedic God Eater]] in the game. Just how much she improved? She shoots a Vajra before it could clobber the player from behind!
** As an added bonus, you'll get a blue Clementor shield[[note]]The same shield part Alisa used for her God Arc[[/note]].
* The fact that Paylor Sakaki hides what he knows about Johannes' endgame, as well as his genuine interest toward Shio sure takes a lot of guts.
* When Sakuya find out about Lindow's "side mission", she and Alisa goes to Aegis Island, only to confront Johannes and learns about his EvilPlan, before having Dr. Oguruma use the TriggerPhrase in an effort to brainwash Alisa into kill Sakuya. What did Alisa do? Uses a Recovery Pillar to cure Sakuya and herself of her own [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed state]], then they escape via a Stun Grenade.
* The sheer dedication and CharacterDevelopment Soma had gone through just to protect Shio from his own father. Even though Sakuya and Alisa are now deemed fugitives, and Kota has the tickets to save his family via the Ark Project, Soma sticks along with the player and starts to mellow down his anti-social status.
** When Shio was taken to the Aegis Island to jumpstart the Devouring Apocalypse, he make it his mission to save her and kill his father, and managed to rally the rest of the First Unit toward Aegis Island. This, as well as the above, double as a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments CMoH]].
* When everyone realizes the gates toward Aegis are in full lockdown, Kota suddenly "suggesting" that they can go to the basement floor of the main building, where it will lead to Aegis. Even Tsubaki was surprised by this.
** Considering [[CallBack how lazy he is during lectures]], this is by far to prove that [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass beneath his laid-back attitude, Kota can be known as a pure genius]].
* After battling the Arda Nova, [[DarkestHour the Apocalypse is about to start, with everyone are helpless to stop it]]. To save the Earth, Shio decides to do a HeroicSacrifice by having Soma to devour her physical body, just so that she can take Apocalypse to the moon instead, much to the shock of some First Unit members. This results in the terraforming of the moon itself!
** Doubles as a {{Tearjerker}}.
* Every mission against the Hannibal, as this gives even expert VideoGame/MonsterHunter players a hard time to beat.
** Related to the above, the fact that the Hannibal can come BackFromTheDead after being killed can be pretty scary. Even Soma himself was surprised by this.
* Very briefly, but when the Defense Unit are ambushed by a trio of Kongou, a black Hannibal performs a BigDamnHeroes by killing them off. In reverse,the player blocks the black Hannibal's punch to protect Tatsumi when it starts gunning at the God Eaters.
** It was revealed that Lindow still has enough HeroicWillpower to control his Aragami form and momentarily save the Defense Unit, before slipping off his control. He still got nerves of steel.
* During an Aragami breach in the God Arc Storage Room, the player, unable to use his/her God Arc due to maintainance, uses Lindow's God Arc to defend Licca from the Vajratails. This is despite the dangers of using someone's God Arc other than theirs.
** Ren's introduction and ensuing EstablishingCharacterMoment, in which [[BigDamnHeroes s/he gunned down a Vajratail before it could kill the player]].
* The showdown against the Corrosive Hannibal on Aegis Island pretty much sums up the game in total, especially the epic {{Determinator}} [[DareToBeBadass speech]] that quickly became the TropeCodifier:
--> Protagonist: Don't run away! Don't run away from living! THAT'S AN ORDER!! ''(Awesomness ensues)''
** The above line was accompanied by a shot of the player {{DualWield}}s his/her and Lindow's God Arc. Then proceeds in '''RIPPING APART''' the Hannibal's mouth and use their Resonance powers on it by punching its core.
* Ren ends up sacrificing himself/herself/itself to save the Lindow and the Protagonist by TakingTheBullet meant for the former.
* Meta example: Props to the developer for recreating the very first game of the franchise in ''high definition'', and then some...

[[folder: God Eater 2/God Eater 2 Rage Burst]]
* Right next to Lindow, resident ColonelBadass Julius Viscounti's EstablishingCharacterMoment is that he keeps his cool while an Ogretail chewing his arm, before '''actually''' killing it off.
** Then he demostrates his signature Blood Art, ''Gale Katana: Iron'', which [[SingleStrokeBattle wipes out a entire group of said Ogretails in one rush]].
* Your first encounter with the Marduk not only activates your "Power of Blood", but also unleashes a Blood Art that [[ScarsAreForever scars its right eye]].
* The battle against the Rufus Callagula, period. With Haruomi's help, the player kicking [[ChekhovsGun Kate's God Arc]] deeper down the Rufus Callagula, allowing Gilbert to activates his "Power of Blood" and defeats the dragon Aragami. Just to keep his promise of fulfilling his lover's dying wish.
** For extra credit, the BGM is ''Diobrosis''. Note that this is the theme used in the '''first TGS teaser trailer'''!
* Nana's has her driving a '''FORK LIFT''' while being chased by a pack of Vajra during [[DarkestHour the God Arc Soldier shutdown]]. Please keep in mind that Nana has no history of using a fork lift before, and the fact that the Vajra can outrun pretty much anyone. Now that's BadassAdorable and BadassDriver all rolled in one!
* In an effort to save Julius from the Marduk and a group of Garm, Romeo let out his fustration of not having a "Power of Blood", finally activating his and managed to use an unnamed Blood Art[[note]]It's a ''Charge Crush - Arbiter''[[/note]] to incapacitate a Garm. Even though it was short-lived, [[DyingMomentOfAwesome at least Romeo done the only thing he can do to save his teammate]].
* The Kyuubi mission marks the return of [[TheBusCameBack Lindow Amamiya, Alisa Amiella and Soma Schicksal]]. The part where Lindow obliterates the fox Aragami only with his RightHandOfDoom, serves as the cherry on top to the already-awesome scene.
** That aformentioned scene even [[UpToEleven tops the rumors of him soloing an Ouroborros]]!
* The rematch against the scarred Marduk, which is part DisproportionateRetribution and part ItsPersonal, much like how players would always do after witnessing Romeo's death.
* On top of being a disabled [[AxCrazy psychotic]] ManChild who orchestrates Romeo's aformentioned death, Rachel was secretly building a prototype God Arc Soldier, which she personally used to kill her father (mostly because he know too much) and is now piloting to eliminate the Blood Unit before they could stop her from unleashing another Devouring Apocalypse. Now that's scary!
* The final boss battle in ''2'' against Julius/"The World Opener" managed to top the ones against Arda Nova, as well as being a mix of both [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome CMoA]] and {{Tearjerker}}.
** Special mentions goes to ''Yuyu'' for actually using her singing prowess as a ThemeSongPowerUp used to reach toward Julius. Also to Dr. Sakaki and Leah Claudes for coming up with a plan to prevent the [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Apocalypse]], which involves singing and the player's "Power Of Blood". The best part: when it seems that they are losing power, the player succeeds to accomplish this through [[HeroicSecondWind sheer willpower]]!
* With full control over the Apocalypse, Julius instead turn it into a flower-like structure, curing all those infected by the Red Rain in the process.
* Everything about Livie Collete. She is tasked with eliminating turned-God Eaters with their own God Arcs. In other word, she is pretty much the God Eater universe's equivalent of '''Main/{{Chuck Norris}}'''!
** She is the other character who wield someone's God Arc (without getting devoured) and proceeds to kill as much as many Aragami as possible. The other character? The protagonist of ''Burst''/''Resurrection''.
* Each of the CharacterDevelopment arc for the main Blood Unit members can be either a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome CMoA]], a {{Tearjerker}}, a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments CMoH]], or both. Either way, it's awesome!
* When a massive onslaught ensues between around a dozen God Eaters (a few were hospitalised) and a pack of Aragami, the Blood Unit is [[DarkestHour on the verge of defeat]] due to constant battle and the lack of supply of Bias Factor for their Armlet. Just then Romeo's God Arc suddenly acted up and sends a signal wave that prompts the Aragami to retreat.

!! For the franchise as a whole:
* Many of these are possible in gameplay, such as showing up Lindow by soloing an [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Ouroboros]]. A later mission, known as "Thor's Banquet", has you facing off against four [[LightningBruiser Vajra]]. Alone. By this point in the game, you can tear through them.
* Shio gets one [[spoiler: in the ending of the original storyline, hauling the entirety of Nova away to the moon to prevent the Devouring Apocalypse.]]
** In the same vein, [[spoiler: Ren, the manifestation of Lindow's God Arc, protecting Lindow from being defeated by Corrosive Hannibal, coupled with something of a CrucifiedHeroShot.]]
* The Protagonist gets a few in cutscenes, especially in the ''Burst'' storyline. Namely, [[spoiler: DualWielding his/her and Lindow's God Arc, telling Lindow to not run away from living, punctuating the statement with ThatsAnOrder, before double-stabbing Corrosive Hannibal in the mouth, tearing the mouth apart and punching directly into the Core.]]
** Earlier, the Protagonist [[spoiler: wields Lindow's God Arc (something that should never be done) after his/her God Arc is broken, in order to defend the Den from an Aragami invasion. Granted, Ren does most of the actual saving.]]
* [[spoiler:Gilbert, the Protagonist of the second game, and Haru all get a unified Crowning Moment in the mission to finally take down the Rufus Caligula. At first, things look bad; Gil is hurt, and the Protagonist has lost their God Arc defending from its attack. The former, however, gets his second wind, and as he gathers himself, Haru aims a shot at Kate's God Arc, digging it further into the Rufus Caligula's oracle cells. This leaves the Protagonist free to ''kick'' it that much further and deepen the wound. But it doesn't stop there. Gil charges in, having garnered the will to fight on and not repeat his mistake, and unleashes his Power of Blood, putting the Rufus Caligula down once and for all.]]
* In ''God Eater 2: Undercover'', Yuu Kannagi shows in Chapter 1 just how much of a badass he is by [[spoiler: cutting a Chi-You in two with a single swing.]]
** While Yuu is badass at least in the beginning of ''Undercover'' manga, unfortunately for him starting in Chapter 5, [[spoiler:he become a wimp]].
!! For the Anime:

** [[LetsYouAndHimFight Lenka and Alisa first meet on the airplane and engaging in a brief but brutal fistfight]], which starts with Alisa channeling her inner [[Film/LethalWeapon Martin Riggs]] when she locks Lenka in a triangle choke then beating down Lenka with a roundhouse kick and fists.
