The Sun Family gets a collective one in the Wu ending of Warriors Orochi were each member delivers a "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Orochi.
Sun Ce: You could never break us, what made you think otherwise?
Sun Quan: In fact we should thank you for strengthing our bonds!
Sun Shang Xiang: That's right! You shall be punished for the suffering you have caused.
Sun Jian: You are no match...for the combined might of the Sun family!
Each one then strikes Orochi with their weapon at the same time and causes him to explode.
During the Intro Movie for the First Game, it shows Orochi bringing all the warriors and creating the realm. It shows places such as Nagashino, Chibi, and Edo being sucked in. Others are looking on in confusion and shock at what just happened and what's going on when Orochi appears with his vast army. Who's the only one who's keeping a cool head and staying in control this entire time despite all that happened? Nobunaga himself.
In the Battle of Nagashino, the Takeda-Uesugi-Huang Zhong coalition is in its Darkest Hour. But then Shingen and Kenshin prepare a plan to unleash the cavalry. Then, eventually the literal cavalry really comes with Kanetsugu Naoe in command, and the gloomy music of Nagashino is changed into this awesome music.
Anytime Tadakatsu Honda appears in the Gaiden Stages when things start to look bleak, singlehandedly raising morale and frightening the enemy forces. There's a reason why Tokugawa would've won against Orochi if he had had Tadakatsu with him.
Shu's version of Koshi Castle in 1. Orochi has Liu Bei before him his weapon at his throat, threatening to kill him. Liu Bei pleads with the others to surrender for his sake, only for Zhuge Liang to rush forward and hit him across the face revealing it to be Da Ji in disguise, who is stunned that they didn't buy it. And Zhuge Liang tells them that Liu Bei would never put his own life before others.
Warriors Orochi 2
Orochi's forces against The Takeda-Uesugi forces in 2 in his story mode. Shingen and Kenshin are shown in front of their armies calmly looking out ahead and Kanetsugu and Yukimura give commands and the entire Cavalry charges ahead. The camera pans back in the distance and you see Orochi on a hill, scythe in hand, watching them come at him and a smile starts to form on his face.
Orochi X, Daji and Kiyomori's Dream Mode battle definitely accounts for this. Long story short, Orochi X's army (consisting of the aforementioned three characters, Sun Wukong, Himiko, Masamune and various Non Player Characters) have been surrounded by the leaders of the 4 different major factions of Warriors Orochi 2 (Sakon, Sun Jian, Liu Bei and Cao Cao) at Koshi Castle, and this doesn't count all the reinforcements and allies they have which include the likes of Yoshitsune, Nobunaga, Zhang Jiao and his phantoms, the Mystics, Taigong Wang, Nuwa and Fu Xi, Shingen and Kenshin and even Lu Bu and Tadakatsu will enter the battlefield just to hunt the player down. All of this goes on with Orochi's theme playing throughout the stage. The amount of adrenaline and destruction that is induced and released to this battle is absolutely stunning.
Warriors Orochi 3
Zhenji and Cao Pi go to He Fei to rescue Lu Xun from a serious predicament. After they drive off his foes, a Wu soldier charges at them, mistaking them for enemies. Zhenji just goes "lol no" and slaps the Mook's sword away with her bare hand. In addition, the sword landed a great distance away from her, Cao Pi, and the unsurprisingly baffled soldier.
Hayabusa's debut in Anegawa. As Kiyomori recites his mind control spell, Hayabusa suddenly appears behind him with his arms folded. Kiyomori tries to intercept, but Hayabusa uses wall run to dodge him, ending with a clean leaping slice. "Mission Accomplished". All to the tune of his Leitmotif, the remix of the Stage 4-2 NES Ninja Gaiden theme.
Each of the character's final battle quotes against Orochi X.
One of the DLC levels in 3 Ultimate has Miyamoto Musashi wanting to have a friendly duel with Nemea, only the area they want to have their fight is overrun by the demon army. The two of them almost casually wipe out both the demon army and their respective rivals before finally getting their one-on-one.
Another DLC level has the Sun family (Sun Ce, Sun Quan, and Sun Shangxiang) fighting alongside Nemea to drive the demon army out of his homeland. It's very satisfying to trigger the trio formation and watch all three badass siblings charging the demons together.
Warriors Orochi 4
Naotora gets one in 4 when she proves her Undying Loyalty to Ieyasu by being willing to fight the deified Lu Bu to protect him. The game itself recognizes this and unlocks her own deified form as a result.
It's a bit of a tradition for the Samurai Warriors games to have a mission that involves Hideyoshi being the womanizer he is and getting punished by Nene. One of the post-game side missions in 4 plays it straight with the added awesome moment being Kiyomasa, Masanori, and all of Hideyoshi's retainers siding with Nene to deliver punishment and basically tell him, "You won't ever find a better woman!"
Orochi X: You have the power to destroy the world. Do it, then when it is done, I will destroy you, and bring down the curtain on everything.
Odin: I always intended to destroy everything...But I have no intention of being destroyed myself. I am the destroyer of worlds—I can never be ended!
Orochi X: Are you afraid...? Why? Entropy is the natural state of things. Even you are destined to die.
Odin: No! I overcame even Ragnarok. I have obtained supreme power...I have escaped the fate of mere mortals...!
Orochi X: Hah. You are a frightened child. You are a foolish and pathetic excuse of a god, if you cannot accept the way of the world.
The last mission of Chapter 3, "The Liberation of Zhao Yun", gives two awesome moments for Guan Yinping and Liu Shan:
Guan Yu and Yinping face off Zhao Yun who activates his deified form which causes them to get knocked out. Yinping musters the courage to fight her mentor in order to save her family. Then, Kanetsugu arrives with another bracelet which he and his colleagues secured in a previous mission. The bracelet goes to Yinping and activates her deified form. With her commitment and love to her family fully resolved, Yinping asks Zhao Yun for another duel again.
After Zhao Yun is defeated, Liu Shan arrives on the battlefield and tells his retainers to stop fighting each other because he's now safe. This causes Zhao Yun and the rest of the Shu forces to defect to the coalition. Then, Liu Shan rallies his forces against Athena and asks her why she needs to fight Perseus, her own half-brother, which causes the goddess to snap back that it's her responsibility to arrest Perseus. Of course, Liu Shan is saddened with this response but decides to fight her with his bench. Extra points if he's one of your player trio and you can really let him smack her around with the bench.
The first assault on Orochi X near the end of 4 ends with the most unlikely Big Damn Hero as Tadakatsu and Ina charge in together to strike directly at Orochi X. Unfortunately, Himiko and Kiyomori are using magic to basically make him invincible. Who appears to stop Orochi X from cutting Ina down and then keeping him at bay until he can be made vulnerable? The original Orochi! Even though he's got a case of I Cannot Self-Terminate and wants to be destroyed, he - unlike Orochi X - doesn't want to take everything with him and joins the Coalition Army to save the merged worlds.
The latter part of the DLC mission, "War for the Bracelet", revealed that Zeus tricked the humans into fighting each other over a non-existent bracelet because he just likes to watch them fight. As expected, the humans are extremely pissed off at Zeus' antics that they join forces together so they kick his divine ass. Before facing him, Ares and Athena are blocking the way but they can easily be swatted like insects.
The final DLC mission from 4, "Ultimate Showdown: SW vs DW!" has a small Ragtag Bunch of Misfits army led by Nobuyuki and Nobunaga taking on all of the Three Kingdoms in a mock battle, followed by the Demon Army, and winning! While the S rank for KOs is only 1,700, it's easy to rack up over 6,000!
In 4, Ares tries to recruit Cao Cao to his cause by boasting that he's a God and that mere mortals should follow him. And what's the Hero of Chaos' response? Telling the war god to fuck off because he follows his own path.
General/Unsorted
Someone actually managed to create a set of combo videos for the Hack and slash game. More amazingly is how he turns Orochi X, Lu Bu, Keiji or Tadakatsu into nothing more than punching bags. Either by insane loads of damage or a really long, showy combo
Each of the intros has their own awesome charm to them.
The first game's intro first begins with Lu Bu and Tadakatsu, the most overpowered characters of their own series, confronting each other on boats in a whirlpool. Cut to soldiers attacking a castle with arrows and cannons, and Zhao Yun and Yukimura, the poster boys, jump down proceed to massacre the enemy. Cut back to Lu Bu and Tadakatsu, who finally lock weapons and start dueling. When we reach Zhao Yun and Yukimura, all the archers and cannons focus on them, but Kanetsugu just stops all the projectiles in their tracks, and Da Qiao appears to cause a tornado. It all ends with Lu Bu and Tadaktsu locking weapons.
The second game's intro has Cao Pi, Masamune and Magoichi fight off the Orochi army while completely surrounded. As the fight wears on Masamune and Magoichi begin attacking Cao Pi with rapid fire from their guns, and Cao Pi proceeds to ricochet every bullet to hit their enemies. When a cannon's prepared, Ieyasu proceeds to destroy with his cannon spear before flinging it up to Huang Zhong who proceeds to fire it with his bow. Soon Cao Pi, Masamune, Magoichi joined by Sun Shang Xiang fling their weapons to join Ieyasu's cannon spear, and Ginchiyo ends by using her lightning to power up the weapons. The end result is a massive explosion which wipes out the entire army. Soon after, and evil presence begins appearing, and we get a close up of Cao Pi slashing the screen which cuts to Mitsuhide making a slash at the original intro to bring forth the new title.
Orochi 3's intro has Hydra roar, and attack with the serpentine generals. Sima Shi, Zhao and Wang Yuanji proceed to destroy a group before moving to another area, and the camera closes up to Zhao Yun and Yukimura fighting off reptilian forces before jumping on one of the Hydra's backs and fighting reptilian forces on the back. When they jump off, Kunoichi, Kotaro and Hanzo all appear to fight the serpentine forces on the hydra. The camera then shifts focus to Meng Huo, Xu Zhu, Cao Ren, Yoshihiro, Benkei and Goemon slamming the ground and causing a shockwave that stops all surrounding enemies. Soon Kai, Bao Sanniang, Xiaoqiao, Sun Shangxiang, Yueying and Lianshi are about to get hit by a fireball, but they all join hands and jump over it. As the figthing rages on, more playable characters begin dying, but Kaguya appears and heals all the playable officers. Soon the entire Warriors Orochi 3 cast joins together, and a single flash surges through all of them until Zhao Yun and Yukimura draw their spears with energy surging forth.
is changed into this awesome music
