Awesome / School Rumble

• Karen beating Lala at the Kibasen with a Frankensteiner.
  • Shortly before that, Harry kicked Hanai in the stomach, intending to finish him off. And then Hanai deflects the kick with his rock hard abs, which he acquired with Training from Hell, involving him tied upside down to a bar and raising water from the ground to containers above with small cups in each hand.
• Tenma's superb skiing impressing her friends.
• Harima beating the English exchange students in Kyoto.
• Hanai beating Harima in a duel during the survival games.
• Harima races downhill at high speed, in the snow, on a giant curry bowl
  • While dodging heat-seeking fish. In a Santa costume.
• Nakamura's performance in the survival game.
• Harima jumping out of a plane to save Tenma.
• Harima and Eri team up at the Kibasen event.
• Basically any duel between Harima and Hanai is awesome in SOME way.
• The Final fight Harima Vs Karasuma. It has to be SEEN in order to be believed. Both men are fighting their hearts out about Tenma and her happiness. Karasuma ACTUALLY CONFESSES his love to Tenma, but sadly notes that he only wants her happiness above everything and tells Harima to go to her as he's the one who can make her happy. This is one of the rare moments where Karasuma drops his stoic, indifferent demeanor and shows his anger, sadness, and hopeless in fighting against his illness.
• Yakumo standing up to the Editor-in-Chief on Harima's behalf.
  Yakumo: Do you enjoy terrifying new artists, or is it part of your job.
  • And he's thoroughly impressed with her for doing it, even as his employees all have Oh, Crap! faces.
• Doubling as a Funny Moment, Imadori actually managed to cop a feel on Lara without her noticing before she'd rendered him unconscious.
  • From the same scene, Karen manages to keep Lara from impaling Imadori with a fork (though not before she broke skin as we later learn), and then Mikoto manages to grab Lara's arm with enough force that it left a pretty distinct bruise when Lara was menacing Tenma.
• During the relay race, Togou and Harry mock Class 2-C for being distracted by women. Cue a Death Glare from Harima, Hanai, Imadori, and Asou, who then proceed to wipe the field with their competition, even Harima sacrificing his dignity to go full speed, despite it costing him the hat that concealed his bald spot.
