6* Ais regularly gets these during raid missions, such as piercing through an entire wave of monsters to give her teammates breathing room as well as single-handedly taking down a raid boss monster no one had encountered before.

10[[folder:Season 1]]
11* Bell managed to defeat the Silverback (a monster from the 11th floor) on his own. Every spectator watching cheered him for it.
12* Before we really knew Lyu's backstory, she manages to save Bell from a thuggish adventurer by giving such a threatening aura that the thug backed off.
13* Episode 8 of Season 1 has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7eTw7ePtvg Bell facing down a minotaur]], a creature he is mortally afraid of due to nearly being killed twice by them, in one of the most badass fights of the entire series. Every minute of it was brilliant and showcased an amazing fight befitting of a hero.
14-->'''Bell''': [[DareToBeBadass Today, for the first time... I'm going to have an adventure.]]
15** The best part comes right at the end. After breaking the Minotaur's {{BFS}} ([[OneHandedZweihander which Bell was wielding one handed]] after forcing the monster to drop it), he goes underneath the beast and jams his knife in its chest. He then casts Firebolt through the knife and into its body three times (snarling out the words), roasting the thing from the inside until it explodes (allowing him to [[TakeALevelInBadass reach Level 2]]). The members of the Loki Familia present ([[BadassCrew all of whom are at least level 5]]) can do nothing but stand there in awe.
16*** Note that the above fact about the Loki familia is ''literal''. They are described in the novel as being physically unable to take their eyes off the fight, as it perfectly symbolizes the life and death struggle that an adventure is supposed to be. They're watching the ideal of every adventurer in the city, and it stops them cold. And, in the next episode (and the ones following the equivalent in ''Sword Oratoria''), this galvanizes the group that witnessed the feat into being even better fighters.
17* A relatively minor Awesome moment: Bell ''shatters'' the record for reaching Level 2 the fastest, by doing it in one month. The previous record was ''one year'', and its holder was ''Aiz Wallenstein''.
18* When their expedition to lower levels goes absolutely pear-shaped, with both Welf and Lily down for the count, Bell manages to drag his two friends down to the safe zone in Level 18, presumably fighting all threats on the way on his lonesome, and doing the final stretch by ''running'' fast enough to avoid the Level 17 boss.
19* Episode 13 of Season 1 has a full-on raid being fought, where we see everyone doing their best to overcome a titan of an enemy that has absurd abilities. Everyone contributes in their own way, building to a climatic finish where an Bell uses a new Argonaut-empowered skill ([[LimitBreak Hero's Strike]]) to cut the thing in half.

22[[folder:Season 2]]
23* The Siege against Apollo Familia in volume 6 of the Light Novels. Having to assault a castle defended by nearly a hundred adventurers with only five people. And yes, Hestia Familia wins.
24* Hell, Book 6 provides '''every''' member of Hestia Familia (temp and otherwise) with at least one SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome!
25** Lili gets two: first, she becomes the first person to ''ever'' fight off the effects of Soma's wine. This act so impresses Soma that not only does he let Lili leave his familia, he drastically changes the way he treats and interacts with his children. Then, during the War Game itself, Lili fine-tunes 'Cinder Ella' to such an extent that she successfully impersonates a specific member of Apollo familia for several days, and manages to execute the equivalent of the entire Trojan Horse strategy - both as the Horse and the strike force inside it - ''by herself'', thus pulling off one of the greatest spy games in Orario's history.
26** Welf talks Hephaestus into letting him go to join Hestia Familia on good terms (which is no easy feat in itself), then he discards his oath to never make a magic sword, in order to help win the Game. In just seven days, he forges two magic swords so powerful that Lyu can keep a full third of Apollo's forces occupied with them - not to mention breaking the castle wall. Even after such an output of effort and skill, he helps Bell fight his way to the top of the castle, and then keeps any reinforcements from arriving, so Bell can fight Hyacinthe one on one.
27** Mikoto manages to lock down a full third of Apollo's forces by casting [[GravityMaster Futsunomitama]] ''on herself'' and catching them in it ''while running and dodging attacks''. To elaborate: Mikoto basically went into an Olympic-level sprint over uneven ground without falling once, while singing an operatic aria in a foreign language at the top of her lungs. (Note: only a bare handful of opera singers in history have ever managed to move faster than a walk - usually a few steps at a time - while singing an aria)
28** While more a temporary ally, Lyu not only joins Team Hestia as member of an outside Familia, risking the ire of the Adventurer's Guild, she uses Welf's two magic swords to take on a full third of Apollo's forces in combat - and uses said swords to ''break down a huge section of the castle wall''. When the two swords shatter from overuse, she draws her own sword - and ''still'' keeps a full third of Apollo's forces focused on her!
29** Bell not only manages to talk Aiz and her friend Tiona into training him for the war game - which would be directly forbidden by Loki if she knew about it - he basically spends seven days getting the crap beaten out of him by Aiz and Tiona, then goes to the war game with a bare night's rest. He and Welf become BackToBackBadasses to fight through the castle, during which Bell obliterates one of the castle's towers and then takes on the Champion of Apollo's familia in a one on one duel, which he wins ''in spite of'' Hyacinthe having a weapon directly blessed by Apollo himself. Even better, he does it by remembering some of the advice Aiz gave him in their training.
30** And let's not forget Hestia. She pulls off some magnificent {{Chessmaster}}ing and diplomatic maneuvering: first, by drawing out arguing over details of the War Game long enough for Bell to get his week of training. ''At the same time'' she successfully executes a plan to not only see Soma herself, but she negotiates for Lili's release from his Familia in sufficient time for Lili to pull off her undercover mission. It's implied that she actually came up with the master strategy for the War Games herself (although probably after discussion with Hermes, Welf and Mikoto); at least, Bell is fully occupied with training, and Lili goes straight from Soma Familia to the battlefield. But let's not forget the aftermath of the War Game: remember that bit in episode 12 where Hestia unleashed her pigtails - and her divinity - to protect Bell? Well, try [[ExaggeratedTrope turning it up to eleven]], only Hestia is very, very ''angry''. She reduces Apollo to a whining, begging mess on the floor with nothing more than sheer force of personality, then ruthlessly makes use of Apollo's previous ExactWords. She permanently disbands his Familia ''and'' exiles him from Orario, and takes possession of all of Apollo Familia's money and assets. In that one moment, Hestia Familia goes from being one of the poorest Familias in Orario to one of the wealthiest. Her Adventurers won the battle, but it's Hestia who wins the spoils.
31** It's more of a Crowning Moment of ''Sneakiness'', but Hermes probably deserves major kudos for getting Level 4, blacklisted adventurer Lyu onto the field at all, under the radar - and the noses - of not only the Apollo Familia but also the Adventurer's Guild.
32* Bell ''literally'' beats down Phryne Jamil in single combat, who is not one but ''two'' levels above him, and then defeats Aisha immediately afterward (with a Firebolt-infused punch), to rescue Haruhime, certainly counts.
33* Talking about Phryne, she later encounters [[WorldsStrongestMan Ottar]], and she tries to seduce him while claiming she's prettier than Freya. [[BerserkButton An enraged Ottar]] strikes her down with one punch.
34%%** Bell destroying the Killing Stone before it could be used on Haruhime.
35* Hell, Freya showing up and confronting Ishtar while her Familia tears through the district and sets it ablaze. Not only that, but she effortlessly hypnotizes her goons while [[DirtyCoward Ishtar]] tries to [[AintTooProudToBeg plead her way out of it]]. Then, [[TranquilFury with a calm smile on her face]], she calmly states what separates her from Ishtar was elegance, prompting an enraged Ishtar to lunge at her. Freya calmly dodges and, with the same smile on her face, slaps Ishtar off of the tower, sending the vile goddess back to heaven and defeating one of the most wicked villains in the entire series.

39* Asterios make a clear good impression by killing off Dix, the asshole EgomaniacHunter followed by taking on most of the Loki Familia.
40* After Ais refuses to back down, pouring out her tirades about monsters being evil, Wiene steps up and tore all the monstrous features that make up herself. She did it because she loves Bell more than her own life. Aiz could not respond but only able to eat her own words, finally realizing that she's the "monster" in this story.
41* Thanks to Hermes's machinations, Bell is put in a position where he has to kill some of the Xenos otherwise innocent people will die, including Eina. What does he do? [[TakeTheThirdOption He]] puts himself between the people and the Xenos. He won't let anyone die even if it means he's the one going down. That my friends is a real hero.
42** Seeing Hermes go from smug to seething fury is satisfying as Bell unknowingly screws the god over of his perfect "[[TheHerosJourney Hero's Journey]]". Even better is when original {{Chessmaster}}, Freya steps in to further screw Hermes over. Hestia gets in a lick as well when she kicks him in the face. He may have gotten away with some of his actions by the end of this arc but it's clear it's not entirely and the repercussions are going to haunt him from here on out.
43* The staged but earnest fight of Bell against Asterios. Staged because it was meant for Bell to win in order to restore his goodwill. Earnest because neither of them were holding back.

46[[folder:Season 4]]
47* Haruhime unleashing her new magic, Kokonoe, to turn the tide of battle. The expedition is surrounded by monsters, and the groups strongest members can barely hold back the absurd number of enemies attacking them, as Haruhime begins to chant one of the longest incantations in the series. She gathers an immense amount of divine light, growing five golden fox tails from her back, then casts Uchide No Kozuchi through the tails, granting the level boost to ''five'' people at once. It immediately turns the tide of the battle, and several injured onlookers can only stare in open mouthed awe at the display. The music and the animation sells the entire scene.
