History Awesome / YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries

* The last two and a half minutes of Episode 45.
* The ending of Episode 46.
** Especially the Marik/Florence "Stand by Me" duet. Could probably be a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, too.

** *Cue CurbStompBattle*

--> '''Tristan''': It's okay Serenity, I lived my life as a side character, fit only for spouting mindless quips and catchphrases. But now, I get to die the way I always wanted, falling, screaming like a girl into a pit of boiling hot lava, flesh being seared from my bones. If I do survive, I'd probably be unrecognizable. But if I do die, '''It'll be as a main character.'''
-->'''Pure, uncut awesome. Oh, and the end lines?'''
-->'''Serenity''': I love you!
-->'''Tristan''': [[Franchise/StarWars I know.]]

-->'''Yugi:''' (after Mokuba is kidnapped on a motorcycle) Don't worry, Kaiba. We'll get your brother back. All we have to do is stick together--
-->'''Kaiba:''' EAT IT, NERDS! (flies past on a motorcycle)
-->'''Yugi:''' [[LampshadeHanging Okay, since when did this show become AMAZING?!]]

-->'''Kaiba:''' It's a good thing I'm '''''Seto Kaiba''''', or that might've actually hurt me.

-->'''Yami:''' Yugi, he uses [[JokeCharacter Swordsman of Landstar]] '''unironically'''. [[ButtMonkey He]] [[TemptingFate deserves everything]] [[ThrowTheDogABone he gets]].

* Yugi and Yami riding off into the ending credits to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/CowboyBebop The Real Folk Blues.]]

-->'''Yami:''' Look at you, being all defiant. It's cute. But once I've assembled all my monsters, I'll hurl them at you with my Catapult Turtle in a wave of deadly precision. And as you just finished telling me, a wave is all it takes to break you. It's time to [[OpeningShoutOut d-d-d-d-d-]][[BaitAndSwitch die.]] Any final words?

* In Episode 81, Dartz [[BreakingSpeech calls Yami out for his callous treatment of his friends]]. It works as Yami almost succumbs to the Seal of Orichalcos. %%Could use some help in transcribing his accent in this long speech.

** Serious props should go to Takahata, who, even when doing Dartz's exaggerated accent, manages to deliver the entire speech with absolute sincerity.

* Episode 83
** Yami beating the computer and in a way beating Raphael. With a terrible deck, no less.

* In the movie, we have Yami Yugi doing what he does best to take down Paradox...screwing the rules.

-->'''Yami''': '''From doing this.'''

-->'''Valon''': Joey's just become the single most badass character in Yugioh! Nothing makes any sense any more!

* The Pharaoh using the combined attack points of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma the Magnet Warriors to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu "totally waste"]] [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Bro]]'s "punk-ass Obelisk." Keep in mind that Obelisk [[PhysicalGod the]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Tormentor]] is an '' [[OlympusMons Egyptian God]] '' ''' [[UpToEleven and]] ''' has been [[TookALevelInBadass strengthened]] by the Seal of Orichalcos.

** In that same episode, Joey manages to completely NoSell Rex… and delivers likely the best burn he's ever gotten in the whole show:
--->'''Joey''': "A dog peed on you! *laughs* Come on Rex, you should be proud! That was the first ''genuine'' laugh your character has produced on this show!"

* Episode 77, Alister sends Kaiba in a flashback to confront him with the horror of war and make him have an epiphany about how humanity deserves to be wiped out. Not only does Kaiba manage to fight his way out of the flashback, the experience has the opposite effects on him, as he decides humanity deserves to be saved, if just because they made something as awesome as a dragon tank.

* In the Other Abridged Movie (the Season Zero one), Joey fighting Anime Creator/VingRhames while Rammstein's Feuer Frei plays in the background.
