20* Gary saving Quinn in Chapter 4.
21* KVN rebooting HUE and Mooncake helping Gary outrun the supernova in Chapter 4.
22* The gang saving Little Cato in Chapter 6.
23** Little Cato's no idle TagalongKid [[BadassInDistress in distress]] himself, getting in a few awesome moments before his rescue in spite of ultimately being played like a fiddle by the Lord Commander as a second, more successful trap for his dad.
24*** In Chapter 2, he ''immediately'' catches on to the first trap for Avocato despite not being able to properly warn him through the glass walls of his cell at Tera Con Prime.
25*** Even when it doesn't take, Chapter 5 establishes his combat proficiency against some of the Lord Commander's mooks when he escapes his cell to send a distress beacon to Avocato.
26*** He in general endures several beat-downs from Bhero and the Lord Commander, from outright attacking the former to gleefully snarking at the latter's dying state.
27--->'''Little Cato:''' ''(to Bhero calling Avocato a coward)'' My father ''will'' come for me, and he'll get to kill you if [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Don't.]] '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis FIRST!]]'''
28*** Before even going into his hacking proficiency in the sixth episode and the fight against his father, Little Cato manages to briefly shake off the Lord Commander's mind control enough to recognize his father and stop putting lethal force into his attacks during his dad's CoolDownHug.
29* Mooncake blasting a hole through the lava stream while underwater in Chapter 9.
30** Beforehand, the Galaxy One crew vs. a team of corrupt Infinity Guard patrol members who turn out to be warding off people looking for the anti-matter bomb. With the help of [[BigDamnHeroes Tribore]] [[LaResistance and a rebel group]] [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome he created offscreen,]] the former side wins.
31** The final scene in Chapter 9. The Lord Commander has just given the crew of the ''Galaxy One'' one last chance to surrender Mooncake or die. One by one, they declare they'll fight the Lord Commander rather than give Mooncake up. Then, as the episode ends, we see the crew take their stations on the bridge (with Gary in the captain's chair), bravely preparing to take on an entire ''fleet'' of the Lord Commander's ships, as the show's awesome theme song plays in the background.
32** ''[[LetsGetDangerous KVN]]'' pulling a BigDamnHeroes moment by crashing through the ceiling in a torpedo-firing [[MiniMech mech suit]] Gary didn't even know he had to save Gary and Quinn from the Infinity Guard mechs that are attacking them, then—when it's revealed that all of said mechs are identical KVN units in mech suits—successfully turning all the other [=KVNs=] against the Infinity Guard. It's so awesome that Quinn forces Gary to ThrowTheDogABone in the form of a thumbs-up.
33* HUE destroys most of the Lord Commander's massive fleet by detonating their Lightfold Engine in a truly ''gigantic'' explosion.
34** KVN and Mooncake holding off the Hive Ships while Little Cato and the resistance buy Quinn time to get to the breach.
35** Gary holding his own against a bunch of Hive Ships with nothing but a laser gun.
36--->'''Gary''': ''Get off my ship!''
37* All of Gary's friends are lost or presumed dead, the cavalry has been wiped out, he has a stab wound in his chest, and his ship has one working thruster. HUE begs Gary to abandon ship and save his own life. What does he do?
38--->'''HUE''': Gary, you have set a collision course directly for the Lord Commander's Heavy Incinerator.
39--->'''Gary''': It's the only way to stop him from taking out Quinn, and I have to save Mooncake, do I really have to make a list for you right now?! If we're going out, we're going out ''big''.
40--->'''HUE''': Agreed. We must do everything possible to destroy that dickloaf.
41--->'''GARY''': ''What do you say we make an entrance''?

44[[folder:Season 2]]
45* "Torra Regatta" has some excellent fight scenes.
46** Nightfall KILLING the Lord Commander via harpooning the sonuvabitch!
47** Gary uses his head ''[[UseYourHead literally]]'' on the episode antagonist, and wins the fight!
48* "The Other Side" is about 90% TearJerker, but it has among the most badass single lines in the entire show.
49-->'''Little Cato:''' [[DareToBeBadass I'm gonna]] [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu kill a Titan]].
50* KVN [[OutOfCharacterMoment coldly]] ripping off the last evil [=KVN=]'s heart is both this, funny, and NightmareFuel.
51* In "The Remembered:" Avocato's back!
52* "Closer You Get": HUE tasering the crap out of Clarence when he wanted to ditch Gary, Avocato and Little Cato, and tasering him a third time for insulting Nightfall. Even AVA is impressed.
53** One for the villain, Invictus plays everyone like a fiddle through the whole episode, fatally wounds two characters (making Little Cato shoot his own father for added ''evil'' points), kidnaps one of them to use as his host body, and pretty much curb stomps both Avocato and Little Cato combined using nothing but Gary's fists.
54* “The Set Up”
55** Despite being badly injured, Fox managed to make himself crawl to turn AVA back on and send a message to Ash and the others.
56** Gary having enough of Clarence’s selfishness flat out refuse to let Clarence come back with them because of how he betrayed them and nearly killed Fox (despite Clarence claiming that wasn’t his intention). It was actually a big relief for the audience because they most likely couldn’t stand Clarence and want Gary to kick him out for a good reason.
57* "Descent into Darkness"
58** HUE and [=KVN's=] brief fight when discussing the plan. It is surprisingly a CurbStompBattle in ''[=HUE's=]'' favor. First he [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom grabs and throws KVN across the room]] for bothering him and Gary while telling him to shut up, simply saying KVN left him no choice. Then when KVN tries to retaliate by charging at him, HUE simply extends his legs so KVN slams into the window behind him. This actually impresses AVA so much she wonders what it is like to have a body herself, leading to the two of them SharingABody for the episode.
59--->'''HUE:''' I sometimes have feelings of uselessness, but you ''really are'' useless.
60** Tribore effortlessly beating the crap out of Todd. Followed by them shooting the pod they knocked him into straight into space.
61--->'''Todd''': ''(After being knocked into a pod)'' No, no! Don't turn it on!\
62'''Tribore''': Can't hear you, that shirt's too loud.\
63'''Todd''': I'm not wearing a shirt.\
64'''Tribore''': [[BondOneLiner That's the least of your problems.]] Ok, hugs and kisses. ''(Launches the pod into space)''
65* "The Sixth Key"
66** The shots of the Invictus-possessed Acocato tackling Gary off the Crimson light and plunging the two of them down to the surface of Bolo's prison are nothing short of epic, setting the stage for what would be a supremely awesome fist-fight between the two--if Bolo and Gary didn't confirm that the latter has ''Zero'' chance of winning against Invictus's vessel on his own. This then leads into a separate moment of awesome when the Team Squad unite as one to handle Incictus as a team, and whilst they are [[CurbStompCushion ultimately on the losing side,]] they nonetheless buy enough time for Nightfall to unlock Bolo's prison, leading to Ash's own moment below.
67** Bolo in all his glory escaping Inner Space alongside the Crimson Light is nothing short of epic.
68** Ash ''overpowering'' Invictus and literally blasting it out of Avocato's body. Let that sink in for a moment : sure, ever since the beginning of Season 2, it was always obvious that Ash was very powerful... But here, she managed, through ''sheer willpower'', to drive back an EldritchAbomination feared by the ''Titans themselves'' in a matter of ''seconds''. Nightfall was right : Ash ''is'' awesome!
69** Admit it, seeing Fox knock Sheryl out cold when the latter threatened to kill Gary was satisfying to watch.
70** Tribore, HUE, and Fox reform Sheryl through a therapy session.
71[[/folder]]
72
73[[folder:Season 3]]
74* "...And into the Fire"
75** Sheryl Goodspeed ''killing a Titan'' all by herself. How? ''By ramming the'' Crimson Light ''at lightspeed [[BoomHeadshot through the Titan's skull]]''.
76* "The Hidden Light"
77** Bolo and Mooncake forging a the massive sword called the Titanslayer. It's made out of ''a compressed red dwarf star''.
78--->'''Bolo''': Now... '''LET'S HUNT US A ''TITAN!'''''
79* "The Ventrexian"
80** Bolo and Oreskis' duel, which involves two ''Titans'' clashing with massive swords and tossing eachother against planets. What more, Bolo is ''evenly matched'', proving that, for all his determination and raw strength, defeating his fallen brethren will ''not'' be an easy task.
81** When Invictus ressurects The Lord Commander, we see it's true form: a massive cloud of energy held in place with chains made from ''multiple galaxies''.
82* "One Of Us"
83** Gary finding out that his robot arm can do everything the [=SAMEs=] were able to to, such as turning into an ArmCannon or into a BladeBelowTheShoulder. What more, he uses the former to ''blast half of the Lord Commander's head off'' and the latter to free his friends from Invictus' chains.
84*** On a side-note relating to the above : Gary ''finally'' [[CallBack murdered the Lord Commander's face off]] ! Sure, it didn't stick, but still...
85** While it ends with her fingers broken, Ash does her best to beat the Lord Commander at his own game.
86* "Change is Gonna Come"
87** Gary literally took on ALL of the pain that Quinn was feeling in the procedure just to help her stay conscious and feel more comfortable, leaving him bleeding from the nose and eyes and technically even ''dying'' at one point. This scene is by far one of the most character defining moments for Gary in the entire series.
88* "Forgiveness"
89** As heartbreaking as it is, the fight between Gary and Avocato is noteworthy because they ''both'' end up pretty badly beaten up. Keep in mind, Avocato is a veteran soldier who was once considered to be Ventrexia's fiercest warrior, and he's also physically stronger than Gary. While it ''is'' possible that he was holding back, the fact that the fight wasn't one-sided in his favor shows [[BadassAdorable how tough Gary can be]] [[BewareTheSillyOnes when he gets serious.]]
90* "Hyper-Transdimensional Bridge Rising"
91** Clarence redeeming himself by activating the titular bridge, [[HeroicSacrifice at the cost of his own life.]]
92** The Team Squad deciding to stay in Final Space instead of going home, because they know that the universe won't be safe for good unless Invictus and the corrupted Titans are destroyed once and for all.
93* “Until The Sky Falls” is an episode-long villainous example for the Lord Commander. He manages to blindside ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Invictus]]'' and crushes the zombie Gary it was using to oversee him with the crystals embedded in his ship, before turning his attention to the Titan in Earth’s core. And at the end of the episode he manages to achieve the goal he had all the way back in season 1 and [[OneWingedAngel becomes a Titan.]]
94* "The Dead Speak":
95** The Lord Commander is at his coolest at this episode, whenever he isn't absolutely terrifying. For starters, the very beginning of the episode:
96--->'''Invictus:''' Let me remind you... who... I am.
97--->'''The Lord Commander:''' [[BringIt Well, get on with it!]]
98** The very end of the episode shows he absolutely ''slaughtered'' an army of Titans. And what does he say afterwards?
99--->'''The Lord Commander:''' Invictus! Now, [[NoYou to remind of who]] ''[[NoYou I]]'' [[NoYou am!]]
100* "The Devil's Den":
101** When Mooncake starts overloading the Hyper Transdimensional Bridge, putting the Team Squad's last chance to go home in jeopardy, [=KVN=] gets in the way of the beam, blocking it with his body, until Mooncake is done. Love him or hate him, that was a ''true'' badass moment on [=KVN=]'s part and a testament to just how damn ''durable'' the guy is : Mooncake is powerful enough to destroy ''planets'' and kill ''Titans'' with his beam, and [=KVN=] ''blocked it'' for ''several seconds'' and ''lived'', suffering only minor damage.
