Detective Conan/Awesome

• In a series this long, it's bound to happen from time to time. Since taking down any case can be one depending on the case, it's best to limit these to insane things such as in the 5th movie: The kids are stuck in a penthouse with a bomb about to go off. The only place they can escape to is the roof of a building about 60m away and 2m down. They have a car in the room with them, but it can't gain enough speed to make the jump. They use the explosion to boost the speed of the car by driving out the window right as the bomb goes off. Ayumi has to count down from 30 seconds exactly to time when the bomb will go off and when the car needs to start driving. Haibara decides she'll make a Heroic Sacrifice by counting down while sitting next to the bomb, but Genta jumps out and forces her into the car just in time to drive off. The explosion propells them far enough, but Haibara is falling out of the car because she wasn't buckled in. Mitsuhiko is able to grab her and hold on for the rest of the fall, but Haibara is out just far enough to be hit by some decorative pillars, so Conan takes the helmet he'd given Ayumi and super kicks it into the pillars, shattering them just enough for Haibara to graze by. They land the car in the other building's pool and are safe.
• Megure, almost always the Inspector Lestrade, gains a pretty good one in episodes 218 and 219 by not only getting a pipe to the head to defend Sonoko from a psycho, but by also delivering a pretty epic "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the culprit. Despite being bleeding all over.
• Similarly, Kogoro Mouri is pretty much the Butt Monkey and Defective Detective, but the end of the Hot Springs Episode from season 1 is pure awesome. To sum it up: both the victim and the killer are dear friends of his. Conan has found out first who is who, as always, but when he's about to knock Kogoro out as in every case... he hears Kogoro muttering to himself that he will catch the culprit even if it costs him his life. Conan is so moved that he can't bring himself to drug him, and instead he drops the hints Kogoro needs to resolve the mystery. And when that part is done? The killer launches a massive Motive Rant and attacks Kogoro. Said killer is a Genius Bruiser and pretty much 6' feet of pure muscle, while Kogoro is a scrawny Butt Monkey. Kogoro wins and easily pins the killer to the ground, which is followed with a short but badass Shut UP, Hannibal. "No, I'm not the strongest in the judo team. It's just that you got weaker. You became a murderer."
• In episode 3, Kogoro, being the Jerkass he is, was threatening to beat Conan if he didn't keep his mouth shut. Then Ayumi came to kick him in the shin. Whether you love or hate Kogoro, he was kind of asking for it.
• Takagi, almost always the Butt Monkey, gets a big one when he's Alone with the Psycho, and then Satou (who's not alone, but with Conan and Co. but Takagi doesn't know that) calls him to his cellphone. The other notices and wants to force him to reply, putting the poor guy in quite the predicament because it'd make Satou come to his aid, and he doesn't want to put her in danger. What does he do? He takes a third option and breaks his cellphone with his own hands, which not only screws with the killer's intentions but immediately tips off Satou, who calls the other police people so they can go help him. Takagi still gets shot and only his Pocket Protector saves him, but it was an excellent moment for him.
• In the movie 9, Kogoro manage solve the case quicker and more correctly than Conan.
• The movies are especially prone to this due to their increased budget and role as summer blockbusters. This Troper is especially fond of movie 8 where the plane and all its passengers are saved by a collective effort of Conan, Kid, Ran and Sonoko, of all people - including a holy shit moment when Hakodate Airport is SET ON FIRE by accident - and movie 15 where Conan saves the day by snowboarding, causing an enormous avalanche to save a town from being washed away due to a broken dam.
• Why isn't Ran's moment from Movie 13 here? Conan's all beaten up by Irish, and he tells Ran to get away when he saw her at the entrance of the observation deck. What did Ran do? She stayed, stood a couple of feet away from Irish, and dodge the bullet he fired at her. She then proceeded to launch some of her karate attacks at him. She may have lost the upper hand after a while, but damn, this girl is badass!
• Chapter 800: Kogoro, Ran, Amuro, Okiya, Ai, Agasa, and Sera all show up to save Conan.
• Am I the only one who thought it was a Crowning Moment of Awesome when Conan answered Heiji's Question at the Detective Koushien?
