History Awesome / SoulEater

--> '''Maka''': Then why do men cheat?!
--> '''Soul''': How should I know? Cool guys don't cheat.''[cue his blade around Blair's throat]''

** [[spolier: What makes this a Crowning Moment is that by doing so, he is ''literally ripping off parts of his soul to prove a point'']]

* Black&#9734 Star knows how to attack directly with with soul wave length, something people like STEIN and DEATH who are older than him and have huge souls that don't need weapon to amplify.

* Death response to Medusa's Enemy Mine offer regarding Arachnaphobia. After he and Spirit are done joking about Medusa's 'cute' form, he ends up agreeing to all of the witch's terms. Except that [[spoiler: he doesn't say anything about giving Brew to Kid, ''or'' that he sends Tezca and Enrique after the team to keep an eye on Medusa. Medusa actually backs off at the prospect of fighting another Death Scythe, and thus loses her chance to kill Maka.]] It's the closest anyone came to out-manouvering Medusa, who had taken Death's silliness at face value.

* Come on. Who didn't cheer when Black Star punched [[TheScrappy Maka]]?
** This troper actually doesn't mind Maka and finds Black Star to be the more annoying one.
*** Then how about Angela's GroinAttack on Black Star?

** [[spoiler: When you think about it, the scene is actually double-subverted later on. Not only did Medusa's grand gambit to turn Crona into a Kishin bad enough to replace Asura utterly fail, but she [[NiceJobFixingItVillain inadvertently provided]] her child with the power used to seal him away again. In addition, the feud between the witches and the DWMA is now settled and peace is in full force, the opposite of what she wanted, indirectly because of her scheming. So, in other words, all she did with her death was remove herself from the board [[SenselessSacrifice FOR NOTHING.]]

* Another great anime moment would be the [[spoilers: battle against Medusa and insane Stein. Epic is the word. The best part comes after Stein is brought back to his sanity and he proceeds to wield Marie and tag team Medusa alongside Maka and Soul. The awesomeness reaches it's crescendo when Maka cuts Medusa with majin-hunt. First, Medusa smugly thinks that she dodged the attack before getting a WTF face as she's exorcised from the possessed girl's body. She then brags that Maka's attack merely drove her out before Maka calmly states that it's over. Medusa's soul then SPLITS IN HALF before she fades away while uttering a last threat. Take that, cocky snake.]]

* Even while insane, manga Crona still had plenty of awesome moments. [[spoiler: From destroying all Black Star's fused shadows (even though Black Star quickly gained the upper hand), to killing (or worse) a deathscythe, his meister and a whole city (messed up as it may be), to swatting Black Star aside later on, to holding zer own against Maka and Black Star at the same time, manga Crona oozed awesome crossed with nightmare fuel.]]
* Then we have the badass samurai, Mifune who [[spoiler: in his first appearance, killed 99 thugs by himself, offscreen, and could go toe to toe with Black Star and Tsubaki or Sid, Nygus, and Azusa.]]

** There's also the moment when Medusa says that Crona, the one she has been treating horrifically and intends to just throw away, is her own child. There is something immensely satisfying about seeing Spirit transform, grab Medusa by the neck, and call her a bitch. While this is arguably lessened by the fact he promptly bursts into tears because he can't understand how a parent could treat their child that way, he is also [[AdultFear entirely]] [[CompleteMonster right]].
* I'm surprised Hiro hasn't been mentioned yet. Being the only one in the series who can deal with every one of Excalibur's provisions is awesome.

** Actually, this is a '''''subversion'''''. A good part of the awesome of Crona calling Medusa out [[spoiler: and killing her]] dilutes when you realize that, well, [[ManipulativeBitch it was ALL a part of Medusa's plan]], and thus [[spoiler: Medusa ''yet again'' has the upper hand over Crona, making them '''even more of a slave to her will than they ever were before'''.]] So the '''''REAL''''' CMOA goes to '''Medusa''', for being [[MagnificentBitch smart]] and cruel enough to [[spoiler: use '''[[ThanatosGambit her very own death]]''' to her biggest advantage]] and dominate Chrona '''''for-e-ver''''', unless [[spoiler: Maka and Soul]] can do something definitive to stop [[spoiler: the death order coming from Lord Death - one that even ''Kid'' approves of. (Even if he doesn't seem to like it.)]]

* An anime only moment that should be mentioned. Crona and Marie arrive at Medusa's hideout, intent on confronting her. Medusa then attempts to kill Marie with large stone block, prompting Crona to dive under to save Marie. Medusa gloats, thinking she's killed both of them, before Crona reveals that s/he used his soul wavelength to shield them both. It is VERY satisfying to see the look of surprise on Medusa's face.

-->'''Asura''': [[spoiler: What is this...?! You just punched me. Your fist isn't a weapon, it's nothing special!]]
-->'''Maka''': [[spoiler: Exactly... bravery's not special. But that means... [[MeaningfulEcho everybody has it.]]]]
-->'''Asura''': [[spoiler: Everybody, huh? [[YinYangClash Then it's just like madness]].]]

*** Even better is when, at the end of the episode with [[spoiler:a "Fist full of Courage" she runs up, past all of Kishin's attacks, only to Falcon Punch him in the face. He chuckles about how this did nothing, only for his ENTIRE HEAD to crack, before he explodes.]]
