History Awesome / SailorMoon

* Chibi-usa gets a ''major'' CMOA in Super S, when [[spoiler:the Amazon Quartet's playing around with Pegasus results in him panicking and catching fire. Her response? ''To run through the flames'', breaks his magic reins, and embrace him until the fire dies out.]]

* How could this page have gone for this long without mentioning ''Sailor Moon R: The Movie''? For the last six minutes of the movie, which are also a Tear Jerker and a Heartwarming Moment -- ''and'' contains Crowning Music of Awesome -- only two words need be said: '''''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhoRya2Chws Moon Revenge.]]'''''

* Sailor Moon R: Promise of the Rose! Let's see...
** They fight tons of Xenian Blossoms using attacks that normally only hit one enemy.
** Fiore's backstory.
** Redirecting the remains of the planet away from Earth with the power of all of the Sailor Senshi. (Made even more awesome in the dub with "The Power Of Love" playing during this scene.)
** YMMV on the 'made even more awesome' usage of "The Power of Love." It's a good song, but the original Japanese version was animated to sync up with "Moon Revenge." However, this is a CMOA in itself, since it's not very often in this series that the animation and music were specifically made to go together.
** "I will protect ''everyone!'' [...] I won't leave anyone alone ever again!"

* One of the Japan-only specials taking place during [=SuperS=] has a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Michiru, of all senshi. After being told by a monster holding Haruka hostage that destroying its ArtifactOfDoom will result in the destruction of the world, Michiru proceeds to blast it anyway. Naturaly, this turns out to have been a bluff on the part of the monster. When her enemy recoils in horror and calls her upon it, she merely smiles and says: "You misunderstood me. A world without Haruka is not a world worth saving."
** Some would argue that this is a NiceJobBreakingItHero in the making, since the other six billion people on the planet probably would have appreciated it if she'd taken a moment to CHECK that the monster was indeed truthful, since she has that Mirror Talisman that shows the truth.
*** Some others would argue that the awesome is ''in'' how much she didn't care. After all, Haruka and Michiru aren't exactly known for putting the needs of the world above each other.
**** ...Yes they are! The fact that they were willing to sacrifice people ''including themselves'' to save the world was a ''central'' element of their characterization!
** Let's not forget in the Marine Cathedral episode, where Michiru is first kidnapped, and upon waking to see Eudial threatening Haruka, proceeds to scream Uranus's name and ''wrench herself out'' of the vines and crap tying her to this plank thing, and then run forward as a shiteload of ''freaking arrows'' get launched at her several times, while screaming in this horribly painful voice, until Eudial runs out of arrows, just to try to save Haruka, who is typically considered the badass of the two anyway, while Haruka looks on in complete horror. [[spoiler:And then Michiru gets her heart crystal ripped out of her body anyway.]] Totally awesome scene.

* In the end of episode Kaorinite has captured Tuxedo Mask in glass and withstood a combined attack of 5 inner Senshi. She then declares it's over for them and just then Uranus (who was injured in the fight) decides to step in - and defeats Kaorinite with one blast [[spoiler: by turning her glass attack around]].

* Sailor Galaxia is an awesome villain. In the manga, she kills most everyone, resurrects their corpses, and turns them against Usagi. That's pretty cold blooded, but in the anime, she basically kills everyone on Earth because she can, and laughs about it the whole time.

** But wait, there's more! The two engage in a [[BeamOWar Beam O War]]. Wiseman turns to Sailor Moon and sends a HUGE blast at her, when [[spoiler: Dimande jumps in the way]] and continues his fight, saying "Do not underestimate me!" Wiseman [[spoiler: disappears, supposedly dead. Dimande collapses in Sailor Moon's arms, and delivers a [[FinalSpeech Final Speech]],]] possibly counting as both a [[CrowningMomentofHeartwarming Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] and a [[CrowningMomentofSadness Crowning Moment of Sadness]], ending with:

* We've come this far without mentioning Sailor Saturn vs. Queen Nehellenia (restored by Galaxia) in the last anime season? [[spoiler:Countless people - including most of the Sailor Senshi - are trapped in the spell of Nehellenia's mirror shards, a de-transformed and exhausted Usagi is struggling through thorns and vines to reach Nehellenia's lair after awakening from her own magical nightmare, and Chibi Moon is on the verge of ''ceasing to exist'' due to Mamoru's condition]], yet Saturn does not hesitate to threaten her enemy with the devastating power of her nameless [[ApocalypseHow planet-annihilating ultimate attack]], [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique which would inevitably kill her in the process]]. When the shocked (perhaps even horrified) Nehellenia demands to know the reason she's willing to "pointlessly" throw away her own life, Saturn replies with "I believe in the Princess" (i.e. Usagi/Sailor Moon/Princess Serenity). Soon after, she makes good on her word, and directs a final prayer to her princess before dropping the Silence Glaive - and although Chibi Moon manages to prevent Saturn from completing her attack, the room is still left a total wreck from the resultant blast. Do not mess with Sailor Saturn or her {{Nakama}}! Period!

-->'''Sailor Moon''': You can't take power! Power is created. And it can't be created alone... nor can it be used alone! '''Let me show you what our power is made of!'''

* Kenji-Papa, of all people, in Sailor Moon R! When a Cardian is attacking the virtual reality theatre, and Shingo is threatened, Kenji-Papa turns PapaWolf by blasting the Cardian with a fire extinguisher. His reasoning? "It's a parent's duty to protect their beloved child!" Way to go, Dad!

--> I will protect ''everyone!'' [...] I won't leave anyone alone ever again!

* Episode 191, when Sailor Gamer had defeated Mars, Jupiter and Venus, and was about to kill Sailor Mercury. Mercury repeats to herself over and over that she won't be beaten, then shouts "...this is is not a game!!" [[TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential She then explodes into battle aura]], [[spoiler:something that in the manga, only Usagi can do]]. Just as she's about to die, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids Star Gentle Uterus]] [[ShockingSwerve comes from left field.]]

* Episode 74, Sailor Moon R. Moon has taken quite a beating from Rubeus for shielding Chibi-Usa from him. Rubeus tells the injured Moon to just let him kill Chibi-Usa - and her reply?
--> '''Usagi''' ([[MyNameIsInigoMontoya gets up, still weak but VERY determined]]): You... You really think I'm that weak? I will prove right you now... [[MamaBear THAT I CAN PROTECT THIS LITTLE GIRL!]]
** Also, when Rubeus multiplies the gravity around Usagi, enough to make her ''sink into the ground'', and she ''still gets up''!

* Episode 68, Sailor Moon R. Moon has taken quite a beating from Rubeus for shielding Chibi-Usa from him, and both Tuxedo Kamen and the Senshi are fighting it out. Rubeus tells the injured Moon to just let him kill Chibi-Usa - and her reply?

** Also, when Rubeus multiplies the gravity around Usagi, enough to make her ''sink into the ground'', and she ''gets up''.

* Sailor Jupiter destroying a daimon ''on her own'' despite being weak from donating blood, something only Sailor Moon ever does, completely [[BrokenAesop undermining the episode's Aesop]] about relying on others and not trying to do things on your own. If Aristotle was right, and [[LonersAreFreaks anyone who works on their own]] "is either a beast or a god," well, I guess that makes Sailor Jupiter...

** Redirecting the remains of the planet away from Earth with the power of all of the Sailor Scouts. (Made even more awesome in the dub with "The Power Of Love" playing during this scene.)

** Tsk, tsk, tsk. No Sailor Venus? Granted, her moment may not be as awesome as everyone else's (especially not Mars), but ''disintegrating'' one of the DD Girls with one shot of her Cresent Beam was still awesome.

* This troper has always felt that Sailor Moon basically telling Sailor Chi to take a long walk off a short pier before blasting her in the manga was awesome. Oh, and tanking a Planet Attack from all the bracletted evil-Senshi and repairing her broken staff and blasting them all to dust with a single attack while still kneeling on the floor.
* This troper recently watched one of the cut episodes (Episode 20 in the Japanese broadcast). And the moment wasn't even for a Sailor Senshi. So a little girl, Sakiko has psychic powers and can take a form as a ghost. She does it and the ghost goes out of control and starts wreaking havoc. Her father and her are just waiting to be killed by it but by that minute you think, Tuxedo Mask should appear right? Wrong. Instead she gets out of her father's hold and releases a bunch of energy to beat the ghost-thing. Wow.

** Redirecting the remains of the planet away from Earth with the power of all of the Sailor Scouts.
--> I will protect ''everyone!''
*** Made even more awesome in the dub with The Power Of Love playing during this scene.

** They fight tons of Xenian Blossoms using attacks that normally only hit one enemy
