3	* In Volume I, Selena uses a sword while backflipping to cut Lamia's hair off. Rather than just take the fight out of her, this proves to be [[SpannerInTheWorks a wrench in Lamia's schemes to blame everything on Sunset]], since the two having vastly different hairstyles results in an easy way to tell them apart.
4	* The climax of Volume I is a near beat-for-beat recreation of the end of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsRainbowRocks Rainbow Rocks]]'', complete with the Sirens running for their lives.
5	* After hearing that Sunset has gone missing, a student at CHS says she hopes Sunset stays gone for her years of being an AlphaBitch. Twilight responds by [[TalkToTheFist socking the other student in the jaw]] for it. Even if [[DidntThinkThisThrough Twilight gets a day of detention for it]], she thinks it was WorthIt.
6	* Rainbow Dash activiating her SuperSpeed at a track meet, going from last place to first place in an instant. Even with the crowd in StunnedSilence, it's announced that Rainbow's victory stands since [[LoopholeAbuse ain't no rule that says a racer can't use magic to go faster]].
7	* The battle between the Spectacular Seven and Moondancer in the "Phoenix Rising" chapters.
8	** When Scarlet Inferno attacks, Sunset enters into their collective consciousness with Scarlet Inferno, giving a NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech about how her past may be hard, but it ''is'' her past, and she'll accept it, [[WartsAndAll not running from it anymore]].
9	** Even though Moondancer has [[ThisIsYourBrainOnEvil been amplified with dark magic]] thanks to the [[AmplifierArtifact Archon Amulet]] and has the intent to kill the Spectacular Seven, that still isn't enough to overcome Sunset regaining her soul, activating a GoldenSuperMode, and wailing on Moondancer without mercy, even managing to NoSell Moondancer's strongest attack with ThePowerOfFriendship.
10	** Sunset's second NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech is pretty good too, complete with a PreAssKickingOneLiner.
11	--->'''Sunset:''' You can rip my soul out as many times as you like, but you don’t touch my friends.\
12	'''Moondancer:''' Such noble sentiments. But I know what you really are underneath that glamour of light.\
13	'''Sunset:''' No, I don’t think you do. Yeah, you’ve seen what I used to be. Maybe that’s all you want to see. But that isn’t me anymore! My name is Sunset Shimmer, and on behalf of my friends, I’m gonna kick your ass!
14	* During the fight in the forest in Volume III, Sonata Dusk and Aria Blaze both turn their backs on Tempest Shadow's plan. Sonata turns because [[GoodFeelsGood she likes how things have been progressing with Pinkie Pie]], and Aria turns because Adagio orders Aria to attack Sonata, which [[EvenEvilHasStandards Aria refuses to do, since while she may be a bad girl, she's not going to attack her sister]]. Then, Tempest says "ScrewThisImOuttaHere" and leaves Adagio to take the fall for the villains. Even though Adagio lapses into StunnedSilence for a moment, she flees rather than turn good. Both Aria and Sonata then admit that Adagio has always been like this, adding that [[BeyondRedemption they don't believe that Adagio will ever see the light]]. However, considering all of the abuse Adagio had thrown at the two of them, it makes their MistreatmentInducedBetrayal karmic for Adagio.
15	-->'''Aria:''' It's always ''your'' plan, but the minute something goes wrong, it's always ''our'' fault! Me and Sonata do most of the work anyway, and all you do is give commands and reap the benefits! You've always been looking out for yourself! We're not a team! We’re your servants!\
16	'''Adagio:''' Of course you're my servants! [[WhamLine I'm your]] ''[[WhamLine princess!]]''\
17	'''Aria:''' Not anymore. ''(smashes the Staff of Sacanas)''
18	* At the end of Volume III, Twilight gives her RacistGrandma Golden Light a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech about how Golden Light is automatically assuming the worst about people. And considering that Twilight just fought against both Moondancer and Tempest, nearly getting burned to death as a result, and still managed to save the wedding, it comes with a CatharsisFactor, since it's also a NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech.
19	-->'''Twilight:''' Just because ''you'' can't see the real value in people doesn't mean we all have to stoop to your level!\
20	'''Golden Light:''' Excuse you?\
21	'''Twilight:''' No, excuse ''you!'' You've demeaned and made assumptions about everyone since you got here! Yes, this is a sword! I've been learning how to defend myself for situations like this! These 'hooligans' are not only my best friends, they're some of the best people in the world who accept me for who I am! Cadence is wise, caring, funny, loving and an all-around incredible person! She was the best babysitter and she's going to be an even better wife and sister-in-law! We just risked our lives to save this wedding and everyone here, so now, we're going to go have a beautiful ceremony, Shining and Cadence are finally going to get married, I'm going to dance with my girlfriend, and we're all going to have a good time after this horrible morning! Either stop your nagging and enjoy the wedding, or leave!
22	** Golden Light's response is to be silent for a {{beat}} before saying "[[NotBad Well, at least someone has a backbone in this family]]".
23	* A Villainous Moment of Awesome for [[BigBad Tirek]], who’s [[GenreSavvy smart enough to learn from his previous failures]], recognizing that simply killing the heroines wouldn’t keep the Rainbow of Light from being found by others. Instead, he has the MUCH more sinister ambition to LET the girls find the Rainbow, then take its power for himself. This Tirek [[StrongAndSkilled is NOT dumb muscle]].
