History Awesome / SailorMoonCrystal

* In Act 8, Usagi being the one to kiss Mamoru, and telling him that it's dangerous so he should get away while she and the other senshi handle fighting Kunzite.

* At the end of Act 9 Usagi swears never to be a tragic princess again.[[note]]Which never happened in the manga. On the other hand, given [[WhatCouldHaveBeen what the original author had intended]], she likely would have been this even during the final battle against Queen [[SpellMyNameWithAnS "Metallia / Metaria"]], since she and the other Sailor Guardians were essentially finishing what was started on the moon a thousand years ago.[[/note]]

* Immediately after the above, when Nephrite is driven back, he doesn't flee but sticks around to observe/threaten. Then, he is immediately joined by ''all four Shittennou'', including Jadeite who was dead by now in the manga. For the first time the senshi and the Dark Kingdom stare down their enemies, and [[CerebusSyndrome it is possible that things]] are [[LetsGetDangerous about to get serious.]]

** When Nephrite ends up face to face against all three senshi he starts giving a BreakingSpeech... and when Moon gives him a ShutUpHannibal he [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim pulls out a blast of magic that tracks the senshi when they split up to dodge and incapacitates all of them at once.]]

* A meta one: The [[http://sailormoonnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/sailor_moon_crystal_infinity_arc_character_art-727x1024.jpg promo art]] for Season 3 shows all ten Guardians in a ''much'' [[ArtEvolution improved art style]] that better translates the Manga designs, compared to [[SpecialEffectsFailure seasons 1]] [[UncannyValley and 2]].
* Another meta one: Prior to the first video clips and theme songs of ''Season 3'' appearing online, there still was a small group of fans who expected Toei to apply heavy censorship to the relationship between Haruka and Michiru, despite it being canon in all versions of the story that includes them. (It should be noted, though, that the manga put much less emphasis on the pairing that the 90s anime did.) It turned out that Toei was well aware of what they were doing, as the first ending sequence for ''Season 3'' was dedicated entirely to the pairing, and included deliberate shoutouts to the famous "hands scene" from from the first anime, and even to ''Utena'' (which, like ''Sailor Moon S'', was directed by Creator/KunihikoIkuhara).

** Chibiusa beating the high score at the Sailor V game may not seem this. Then you remember it's a ''combat simulator for the Sailor Soldiers'', and that the high score was either Minako's or Ami's... Kinda explains why Usagi was ''that'' annoyed at that too.

*** Also, before whipping out the Tuxedo La Smoking Bomber he managed to save Usagi and Chibiusa (the latter of which at the time had the brooch, making both defenceless) by ''hitting him with the cane in the face hard enough to leave an instant bruise''.

* Act 26: Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibimoon's combined attack ''disintegrating'' Death Phantom, and Nemesis with it.

** Furious for the above, Mimete fires a Charm Buster at Sailor Chibimoon... [[BigDamnHeroes Cue a Deep Submerge intercepting the attack and a World Shaking annihilating Mimete]]. ''Then'' Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune show up.

** When Sailor Chibi-Moon tries and separates the combatants, Jupiter fires a Sparkling Wide Pressure at her. Tuxedo Kamen shields her with his back... And, somehow, survives no worse for the wear.
** The episode ends on a high note for the forces of good, as Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi-Moon and Tuxedo Kamen summon the Holy Grail.

** Hotaru stopping Mistress 9 from completely devouring Chibiusa's soul and Silver Crystal.

** Mamoru gets a henshin! Also, Chibi-Moon's power up to Super Sailor Chibi-Moon.
** Hotaru, despite being still trapped inside Mistress 9 and now having her body being torn down on top of that, manages to save and return not only Chibiusa's soul and Silver Crystal, but also all of the Inners' souls which were about to be absorbed by Mistress 9. And on top of that, prevented Mistress 9 from going into her Daimon Form until she herself left the body to return the souls.
** Sailor Chibi-Moon attacking and actually hurting the until now unstoppable Mistress 9. To make it better, Mistress 9 is now in her [[SuperMode Daimon form]]... And Chibi-Moon is ''not'' in Super form yet. Even Mistress 9 didn't expect it...

** She later restores Earth to its proper state.

** Each of the Sailor Guardians transforming for the first time since the Dead Moon Circus's arrival, and Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, and Sailor Venus respectively one-shotting Fish Eye (with significant assistance from Sailor Mercury), Tiger's Eye, Hawk's Eye, and Xenotime and Zeolite.

** Each of the Sailor Guardians transforming for the first time since the Dead Moon Circus's arrival, and each one-shotting the enemy targeting them (except Sailor Mercury, who breaks free of Fish Eye's nightmare and Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon finish him off).

** Quite possibly the Crowning Moment of Awesome is the final fight with Queen Nehelenia: When it seems Nehelenia has won, Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask get the Silver Crystal back from her with ThePowerOfLove, then ALL the Sailor Guardians and Tuxedo Mask come together (with all three cats in human form as well), the other Sailor Guradians turn into princess forms while Sailor Moon transforms into Eternal Sailor Moon and, empowered by the other Sailor Guardians and Tuxedo Mask's Golden Crystal, destroys Nehelenia and her mirror, ending her nightmare once and for all and restoring Earth and Elysion to the way they were. It's to the point that, while most fans prefer the original anime, they praised this scene and said it was ''better'' than the original, and many are content that this be the grand finale even if Crystal doesn't get a ''Stars'' arc.

* Part 1: Artemis turning human to save Sailor Venus from falling to her doom.

** Super Sailor Moon saving Hotaru (who's now an infant) and giving the other Sailor Senshi their own Super forms.

** When Sailor Uranus and Neptune decide to make clear just how much the Guardian Senshi are outclassed they attack... And Neptune ''single-handedly force them on the defensive '''[[MusicalAssassin with a violin concerto]]'''''. Sure, it's Sailor Uranus' World Shaking that knocks Sailor Moon out and forces the others to retreat, but that music had already done most of the job...

** The Outers coming to Sailor Moon and the Inners' rescue: Uranus' Space Sword Blaster opened a hole in Mugen Gakuen's wall of thorn long enough for them to enter, Pluto's Chronos Typhoon freed the captured Inners, and before Pluto's attack Neptune's Submarine Reflection ''wiped out the Witches 5''.

'''Season 1 & 2'''

** Lastly, [[spoiler: Artemis and Sailor V introduce themselves with a BigDamnHeroes moment by respectively shattering Zoisite's crystal weapon and ''slashing Zoisite in the stomach.'']]

** Sailor Senshi vs Shitennou, without Sailor Moon. The Sailor Senshi not only win, but ''break the brainwashing of the Shitennou'' [[spoiler: [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness who are promtply disintegrated by Metallia because they're now useless]]]].

** The fight between Jupiter and Petz. Petz, like her sisters, is supercharged by the Evil Black Crystal, Jupiter is weakened by her foe's virus, and yet [[spoiler: she gives her a run for her money before losing]] ''and'' annihilates an horde of Droids as collateral damage.

** Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and the Sailor Soldiers hitting Death Phantom/[[spoiler:Nemesis]] so hard it had to feign its own death to survive.

* Act 26: Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibimoon's combined attack ''disintegrating'' Death Phantom, and [[spoiler:Nemesis]] with it.

'''Season 3'''

** Kaolinite [[spoiler:''[[BackFromTheDead resurrecting the Witches 5]]'']] to do her dirty work. ''And it works'', [[NearVillainVictory for the most part]].

* Infinity 11: ''Sailor Saturn''. After a full season's worth of buildup, we finally get to see the Guardian of Silence, and it is ''glorious''. She completely curbstomps the previously unstoppable Pharaoh 90 without even ''trying''. [[spoiler: And then she brings down the Silence Glaive, initiating TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt...]]

** Turns out that when Sailor Saturn [[spoiler:started TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]], she had a plan, and timed her resurrection on it:

** Turns out that Sailor Saturn [[spoiler:started TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]] she had a plan, and timed her resurrection on it. Step 1: start the attack. Step 2: ''drag fling Master Pharaoh 90 back to the Tau System so '''that''' would take the brunt of the collateral damage''. Step 3: have Sailor Pluto close the door so that no collateral damage will spill back to Earth, [[HeroicSacrifice also trapping her back there]]. Step 4: [[ResetButton Super Sailor Moon heals the damage to Earth]].

** Even after Mistress 9 awakened and took over her body, Hotaru is still resisting somehow... And freak Mistress 9 out by simply giving a small hint she's still around.

** Ami's speech after Bethir's speech to break her and winning the chess match

* Act 20: Tuxedo Kamen ''one-shotting Esmeraude''.
* Act 24: Demando one-shotting the brainwashed Safir.

** Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Kamen, and the Sailor Soldiers hitting Death Phantom/[[spoiler:Nemesis]] so hard it had to feign its own death to survive.
** Demando stopping Death Phantom's surprise attack and matching him, at least until his opponent cheats and has him be devoured by his own inner darkness.

** This is the episode where Cyprine shows off her awesomeness. In quick succession she does the following: single-handedly fights the Outers, quickly gaining the upper hand; when the Inners come to the rescue she easily brainwash everyone but Sailor Moon into [[LetsYouAndHimFight getting a Inners versus Outers battle]]; {{No-Sell}}s the Moon Spiral Heart Attack; and ''then'' gets serious by splitting and getting Ptilol out.
