- Anything Cancer Manigoldo has ever done, up to and including god-killing. With a Badass Grandpa for added epic.
- It should be added that it's a few select characters who pull that sort of Badass Boast, and actually MANAGE to kill a bona fide God, especially for non-main characters.
- El Cid ups the ante by dealing with the Dream Gods in spite of losing an arm right at the beginning of the fight.
- First, he managed to follow the Dream Gods to their home ground by following the path of the Gold Cloth covering his severed right arm, that Nightmare Fetishist Phantasos stole. Then, as Phantasos attempts a textbook Lotus-Eater Machine temptation on him, promising to show him his deepest dream, the hapless Dream God realizes just how dedicated El Cid is to reaching his pinnacle, and NOTHING ELSE: his deepest dream is revealed to be a black empty space containing a perfected manifestation of Excalibur. Given in this place, Your Mind Makes It Real, the ephemeral blade promptly breaks both the Lotus-Eater Machine and as a bonus, the illusion spell showing Phantasos as an androgynous beauty.
- Of note, El Cid is clearly at a disadvantage against Ikeros, The Brute who pulls Hit-and-Run Tactics by slipping in and out of another dimension, making it impossible to grasp his location until it is too late. How does Determinator El Cid get around this? He splashes around him the blood from the wound of his severed arm, even at the very real risk of dying of blood loss, finally making it possible for him to get a read on the distortions in space to deal the final blow.
- Dohko managed to make it rain enough to put out a miniature Sun.
- Gemini Aspros, returning after his apparent death and beating the ever-loving shit out of Mephistopheles Youma.
- Made even more so because this is retribution for messing with the destinies of, and destroying the bonds of brotherhood between, Aspros and Defteros. Youma's Villainous Breakdown just makes it all the more badass.
- Sasha aka Athena, fearlessly and tenderly Cooldown Hugging Sisyphus and bringing him back from his Angst Coma. Proof that sometimes kind words can be as effective as physical powers.
- Seeing Sisyphos in action leading the battle against the Specters. Very satisfying, especially after seeing his own issues resolved. Not only does he go through a Heroic Sacrifice against Sphinx Pharaoh, where he proved his soul was pure, but he does take him out and even with his heart ripped out, he still musters enough strength to take part in an Athena Exclamation to bust open the doors to the Lost Canvas.
- Gemini Defteros vs. Specter Aspros is just all kinds of awesome. The battle culminates in a clash of two Galaxian Explosions.
- Anytime Tenma summons his God Cloth "God-killer Pegasus" form.
- Morpheus getting the Oh, Crap! moment of his life when he drains all emotions from Tenma... leaving his unlimited, raw source of pure willpower to freely manifest in the world of dreams, where Your Mind Makes It Real. It is implied Alone gave him a slight push, but still.
- Tenma getting his gold Bronze Cloth utterly destroyed by Owl Partita, but refusing to back down and to let his failings be blamed on his Cloth. He then proceeds to rip apart his own soul, an avatar of Pegasus, to pour it in the shards of his Cloth. And this time, the Pegasus God Cloth manifested permanently.
- Rhadamantys actually managing to handle Hades' blood and to get a power-up from it, when it is stated the ordeal is supposed to be downright lethal.
- Leo Regulus pushing Awesomeness by Analysis to the point he can downright copy any technique he sees. Including techniques that would require several people to perform, though at a reduced output obviously.
- Props for the moment where he masters the state of mind his father Ilias had been trying to impart upon him, allowing him to finally defeat a powered up Rhadamanthys.
Gaiden moments :
- Youma coming back for more punishment, 20 years after the end of the war proper, meaning it is now up to Sion to put him down. He gets put down for good when Sasha and Tenma come back... or, rather, Athena's Cloth and the Pegasus Cloth.
- Altar Hakurei sealing Aries Gateguard's Cosmo, thus showing that though Silver Saint he may be, he is a force to be reckoned with.
