  • At the start of his Michael Jackson tribute video, one of his earliest actually, he's show dancing to Billie Jean complete with a moonwalk.
    • On the same video, we discover that he can play drums, and then he proceeds to play a pretty nice drum jam.
  • The fact that after 7 years of relative anonymity within the greater YouTube community, in under one year Cory managed to go from around 700k subscribers to 2.1 million and now has a strong and loyal fanbase and has had collabs with the likes of Dashie Games.
    • As of 2021, he now sits at a cool 10 MILLION PLUS SUBSCRIBERS, earning him the coveted Diamond Play Button from YouTube.
  • Any time Cory manages to "break someone's ankles".
  • The mere fact that Cory manages to consistently put out high quality, well edited videos on a near daily bases (though he does take his breaks from time to time).
  • During Cory's #CoryUBettaUploadChallenge, he received a call from Dashie Games himself, urging him to keep up with the challenge because he would be watching him.
  • The Roast of CoryxKenshin 700k special wherein a massive display of Self-Deprecation, Cory apologizes to his fans for his absence...by making a diss rap about himself, then gives a heartfelt apology to the fans.
  • Cory making enough revenue off of YT to buy a new house which he revealed in his final return to YouTube video.
  • Cory's diss track about things he can't stand, which was both a well needed parody of all the YouTube drama diss tracks that had been going around, and contained some actually good rhymes.
  • When Cory was invited all the way to California by Kevin Hart, whose kids love Cory's videos.
    One of Kevin Hart's kids: OH MY GOD IT'S CORY KENSHIN!
  • The Samurai and Cory raising over 50,000 dollars to get people in need of clean water through a 24 hour charity stream.
    • In a more recent 6 hour stream, he and his community managed to raise over 300,000 dollars to get people in Mali (a West African Country) clean water. One impressive achievement is the fact that he raised 100,000 dollars in less than one hour!
  • Cory having the balls to create a video about his Ectodermal Dysplasia despite knowing it could have easily been perfect troll bait, and even more awesome and perhaps even a Heartwarming Moment, the fact that his fans were completely supportive of him.
  • Cory calling out the people who were paying tribute to Etika in the aftermath of his death for being the same people who were making clown memes about his mental health struggles. Also doubles as a Tear Jerker.
  • Cory exposing T-shirt companies TeeChip and Moteefe for selling his merch without his permission and scamming their costumers in the process.
  • In his video for Aka Manto, a game where the plot is kicked off by the main character being bullied into going inside the haunted school, Cory tells the story of a bully he had to deal with when he was younger. Said bully hit him hard on the neck (cheese neck, as Cory calls it) then started laughing at him. Cory stood up and yelled at him, and the bully mocked him for it, so Cory worked up all his strength and shoved him. Unfortunately, he was sent to the principal's office, filled with fear that his father would be the one to answer when called. And that's exactly what happens. However, it turns to a Heartwarming moment when Cory concludes the story in The Stinger.
    Cory: Oh, I almost forgot to end the story. The principal handed me the phone, and my dad said: I'm proud of you. Don't ever let anyone bully you.
  • This moment doesn't concern Cory himself, but it can still qualify. During his Friday Night Funkin' playthrough while facing off against Senpai, he easily beats the first song all while insulting Senpai. Senpai gets mad and makes his well-known Freudian Threat, to which Cory takes offense and declares the next round personal. Despite his best efforts, Cory ALMOST lost to Senpai and is left in disbelief over how hard the round was, almost like Senpai heard him and unleashed his full power. It's spectacular enough that Cory apologizes and declares Senpai the winner.
