History Awesome / KingdomHeartsII

* Of all the people to beat Luxord it's ''Jiminy Cricket.'' Like in the game, Luxord traps Sora's friends within cards, but this time he challenges him to find them amidst false cards holding Heartless inside. Saix interrupts the battle and [[KickTheDog seemingly destroys the cards holding his friends and kills them]], leading Sora to fight him instead. While Luxord sneaks away he accidentally drops the cards holding the others, and Jiminy appears to call him out for it. Forgoing cheating, Luxord decides to play fair this time and challenges the cricket to make the right draw. Not only does Jiminy ultimately succeed, but he ''actually managed to fend off the Heartless from his wrong draws''. Even while fading away [[WorthyOpponent Luxord admires Jiminy's gambling spirit]]

* The moment when ''Mickey Mouse'' unleashes a can of literal and proverbial shit onto Heartless and makes even [[Franchise/StarWars Yoda]] look tame. ''Mickey. Fucking. Mouse.''
** When [[spoiler:Goofy "dies"]] and Mickey says "They'll pay for this,"; the way he throws off his cloak and gets his Keyblade is so epically awesome it's hard to describe. One thing you ''do'' know however, is that the Heartless are, most definitely, completely and utterly screwed by one incredibly pissed off and furious mouse who has a reason to viciously and violently murder them. [[spoiler:He ''does''.]]

* Demyx's status as ThatOneBoss can distract people from one major feat he pulled off: He managed to sneak into Mt. Olympus to steal the Olympus Stone. This bears repeating: Demyx broke into a place were ''gods'' live and ''stole one of their relics with impunity from the gods''.

** For that matter, Belle's actions in general - rather than play the role of DistressedDamsel and helplessly watch Xaldin force Beast to make a SadisticChoice, she just has ''none'' of it and ''elbows Xaldin'' in the stomach, grabbing the rose and running to safety.

*** Well, there ''had'' to be a reason - other than the castle belonging to her anyway - that Mickey left her in charge.

** Unfortunately, Mickey cannot actually end the fight, due to lacking combo finishers, but whether his health expires or he manages to fully charge his drive gauge, he will ''never'' fail to get Sora back into the fight.

* "The Battle of 1,000 Heartless", in which Sora slaughters exactly one thousand Heartless all by himself. This particular battle had also given rise to TheWarSequence trope.

** It sadly becomes less awesome for both Sora and the players when [[spoiler: you learn in the next scene that Sora [[UnwittingPawn did exactly what Xemnas wanted him to do]], as he now has 1,000 new hearts for his Kingdom Hearts.]]

** Then there was Donald. After [[spoiler: Goofy dies, he breaks down sobbing.]] Then, out of rage and grief, runs into the fight, screaming with anger, arms flailing.

** Hey now, Pete himself gets to be {{Badass}} along with her when they pull a "BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork" moment in the final world. A huge swarm of Heartless is headed their way, and Pete yells "Bring 'em on!" before he and Maleficent rush into battle.

** During the boss battle after this, once the MCP takes enough damage, Sark will sometimes put up a wall to stop the party from fleeing... which will allow Sora to perform a reaction command that will [[OneHitKill allow him to stab Sark in the head]] and instantly kill him! [[NiceJobFixingItVillain BIG]] [[BondVillainStupidity MISTAKE]], SARK!

* Twilight Thorn's and Shadow Stalker's back-to-back boss fights.

* The finishing move if you pull off the final Reaction Command in Luxord's battle: Sora pulls all the cards into his hand and sends them flying at Luxord ForMassiveDamage.

* Magic in general is pretty awesome.But Reflega and Magnega take the cake!

** Also, Hades Paradox Cup: Round 40. This fight only has Leon and Cloud, and although there's a time limit and although they both have HP up to Xemnas's health bar, this is made up for with very fast recharging magic, and being able to use the Drive Forms as much as you want. Casting Thundaga,Blizzaga, and Firaga in Master and Final Form has never been more satisfying.

* Yuffie and Aerith fighting together (albeit somewhat offscreen) during the attack on Radiant Gardens and within the 1,000 Heartless War; when Yuffie collapses from exhaustion, Aerith busts out a Curaga spell to keep her ally going.
