2----
3* Chapter 7: Even before he develops his powers, Ageha stabbing Alfred InTheBack, and then kicking him off the ledge to prevent a TakingYouWithMe proved his badass-credentials.
4* Chapter 16: The second trip to Psyren has them demonstrate their abilities enhanced, including Hiryu knocking the giant worm over with a Dragon Tail.
5* Chapter 21: Ageha vs Tatsuo. Ageha is WeakButSkilled as he hasn't learned how to use Rise against Tatsuo, who has SuperStrength because of it. While he does get hit eventually, he manages to create an opening for Hiryu to act.
6* Oboro catching Rise Master Kagetora off-guard and yanking his glasses off of his face the first time he attempts to use Rise. He was only there to heal any wounds.
7* In the videotape recovered by the Drifters, we get a villainous Crowning Moment of Awesome when The Elmore Kids taking on BigBad Amagi Miroku during the Day of Revolution. And all dying at the hands of him from his Sephiroth attack that skewers them in every direction.
8* Shao taking on Haruhiko in the rescue Kagetora arc and rebounding his own attack against him.
9* Chapter 37: Hiryu tanks [[HavingABlast Dholaki's power]] and creates an opening for the rest of the party to escape.
10* Chapter 39: Amamiya unveils her [[SinisterScythe Mind Jack: Insanity Size]] and uses it to trap the murderous Taboo in an illusion before cutting him in half.
11* Chapter 40: Oboro demonstrates his [[HarmfulHealing Biological Ruin]].
12* Chapter 42: Ageha finally controlling his draining Melchsee's Door that nearly killed his friends the first time he used it and nearly killing Dholaki.
13** In the same fight, Kabuto plays bait despite only having a very weak form of Visions in his arsenal of PSI abilities in order to buy time for Ageha to fully program his Melchsee's Lance. Never before has running away been so awesome.
14* Shiner and Dholaki's tag-team fight was full of them.
15** Dholaki, who had just been humiliated and is facing pending demotion for being defeated by Ageha, calculates exactly how the Melchsee's Lance works, and using nothing but his ordinary Explosia attack develops a perfect counter method, owning Ageha hard.
16** Kabuto TakingTheBullet for Ageha after his leg was blown off.
17** Shiner's schooling Hiryuu and Oboro at the same time, using his teleportation to launch Hiryuu ''into the stratosphere'' and stabbing Oboro in the chest to seriously wound him with his fingers before it was even noticed.
18** Elmore Wood kids reappearing as [[FutureBadass Future Badasses]]. Especially Kyle killing Dholaki in two simultaneous hits and Shao and Fredrica going head-to-head with Shiner, who had just most likely killed Hiryuu and Oboro without batting an eye, showing their new mastery of their powers.
19** Yet who does the most damage to Shiner? Sakurako. Right when he is about to preform his ultimate attack, Sakurako interrupts him by ''breaking his arm''.
20* In Chapter 70, we find out what happened to Matsuri, Kagetora, and Ian in the revised history. Ian's fate stands out as a Crowning Moment combined with {{Tearjerker}}. After Matsuri and Kagetora pull a YouShallNotPass to save him and the rest of the survivors, he begins healing everybody else. Nonstop. People keep telling him to take a break, he ignores them and keeps going. Eventually he overtaxes his brain, and when he realizes he's at his end calmly says he's going to lay down for a bit. He never woke up.
21* Marie making SmugSnake Usui beg for mercy and scream like a little girl. BewareTheNiceOnes indeed.
22* Taiga and Okugou then taking dethroned and broken Usui, and making him their bitch even more.
23* Haruhiko Yumeji, one of ThoseTwoGuys and one of the weaker secondary characters, watches Kagetora and Junas, two of the strongest Psychicers in the series, duke it out so fast that he can barely keep up with what is going on. Kagetora is about to bull-rush Junas, who has a long-range heat blade attack that will easily kill him upon contact. Haruhiko intervenes by throwing a Shotgun Bolt at Junas, [[PowerNullifier negating the heat blade and Rise]], allowing Kagetora to send Junas flying. Sure Kagetora did the serious damage, but Haruhiko gets the CMOA.
24** Kagetora also gets one that fight though for blocking Junas's knife with his forehead.
25* [[PhysicalGod Grana]]. [[KillSat Nichirin Tentsui]]. That is all.
26* Matsuri in chapter 100, in a raid on a government facility. First, to get in, she grabs Ageha and jumps so high with Rise she's nearly flying, then proceeds to single-handedly kick the crap out of every guard they come across with Rise, before capping it off while surrounded by using Burst to psychically stop about a dozen guards bullets and throw them all against the wall.
27* How about when they're at the end of their first run to Psyren? Amamiya, who's been nearly catatonic most of the time, and had to be carried most of the way, proceeds to use Rise to ''catch'' the Tavoo's arrows. And at this point we have no idea what's going on, so it's completely random. Random, and badass.
28* Shao earned his place when he wrecked [[AxCrazy Vigo]]'s shit. Hell, anyone who can get Vigo to make [[OhCrap crap his pants]] like he did deserves recognition.
29* And now Kabuto earns one in his CurbStompBattle with Ash.
30** He uses his own fear to [[RealityWarper shift reality]], which results in [[DeathByIrony Ash being torn apart from the inside by his own powers]]. This is the most badass a coward can possibly get.
31* [[KillItWithFire Frederica]] gets a nice one in the fight against [[AnIcePerson Uranus]] when he completely freezes the air enough to nearly finish off Kyle and give her a tough time. When he is about to deal the finishing blow to Kyle, she comes back with a freaking ''beam'' of fire, seemingly blowing off half of Uranus' body. She caps it off with her attack against the asteroid Ouroboros itself, clearing the sky and letting sunlight come down to finish off Uranus and possibly turn the tide of the entire battle against the WISE. Too bad [[PhysicalGod Grana]] can bend the sunlight and stop that from happening, but still...
32** In the following chapter Uranus apologizes to Grana for dying first before attacking them one last time and dying in the process. Grana then [[TranquilFury goes nuts]] and nukes them with Nichirin Tentsui, deciding that since they wanted sunlight so much, he would allow them to see it one last time as they died.
33* Sakurako follows up on her [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punching out Shiner]] and utterly rips him apart in a CurbStompBattle many chapters later.
