* The fact that, per [[https://twitter.com/MMeghanMcCarthy/status/400406496829140992 Andy Price]], this arc was considered "bad ass" by the show's current frontrunner, Meghan [=McCarthy=].
* A bit of a meta-example: we finally get to see Star Swirl the Bearded, albeit in flashback form...and it turns out that he was ''Celestia's confidant!''

* Even without his powers, Discord puts on a pretty good distraction to draw away King Meowmeow's guards. And when one of them accidentally breaks the [[RestrainingBolt collar]] blocking his magic, he overwhelms the king and his forces with ease.
* When King Meowmeow scratches the Abyssinian Tree of Harmony, Fluttershy responds by [[UseYourHead headbutting]] him in the stomach.
* After Capper and his friends connect to the Abyssinian Tree of Harmony, its magic flows all over Abyssinia, in a visually amazing scene.

[[AC: The Two Kingdoms of Caninia (2021 Annual)]]
* After the sisters are all connected to their Elements of Harmony, they each [[SuperEmpowering gain their own magical ability]]. They then use these new abilities to save their subjects from the collapsing cavern.

* When the Grootslang attacks again, Tempest and Rockhoof immediately decide to hold it off while the others get to shelter. They spend most of the final issue of the story fighting it, and though they are ultimately forced to fall back (even after Applejack joins them), they still manage to get in some solid hits. Rockhoof in particular lands crushing strikes on the Grootslang's face twice with his shovel (the second time hitting hard enough to [[WreckedWeapon break the shovel itself]]).
* Zecora and her friends harness the power of the Farasian Elements of Harmony to defeat the Grootslang, reducing it to a harmless talisman.

* When stopping so suddenly causes Dust Devil to skid off a cliff, Crystal saves them by creating a giant ice slide.

For the first time in the arc, she transforms from her Season 1 appearance to her Season 2-onward appearance]]. Simple, yet awesome.

* Despite having given up apple cart racing years ago, Big Mac is easily able to keep pace with his former friend Silver Streak, despite the latter having been racing every year since.
* Rainbow Dash, depite having some initial difficulty on the rough terrain, takes the lead quite easily, at one point pulling off a spectacular jump over both Big Mac and Silver Streak.
* A villainous example: Dr. Sacks Roamer's orginal plan was simply to cross the finish line with his stolen artifact. Winning wasn't his concern. But when he finds out that his minion Lumpy put the artifact in Rainbow Dash's cart, he puts everything he has into catching up with her.
* Yona manages to stop Roamer from fleeing into Yakyakistan with his stolen artifact by parachuting down on top of him.

Once COsmos was beaten and her hosts freed, Discord, dressed as a Ghostbuster, caught her in a ghost trap and dumped the powerless draconequus on the moon.
