  • Stitch's escape from the prison ship.
    • Especially how he broke free. He figured out that since the guns were trained on his DNA, he could use his saliva to get him to fire where he wanted. When Jumba said Stitch could think like a supercomputer, he wasn't kidding!
  • Stitch's moment towards the end of the movie, when he tackles a gasoline truck, drives it into a volcano, tears a hole in it, and rides the ensuing explosion to crash through Gantu's ship, gets pounded with Gantu's enormous fist, only to lift up said fist while yelling "also cute and FLUFFY!" Epic. WIN.
    • The delivery of his triumphant "ALOHA!!!" in the aforementioned scene.
      • Stitch has his extra set of arms unfurled but casually crossed, indicating just how much stronger than Gantu he actually is.
    • "Stupid head." Cue unloading a gasoline tank into a volcano, then shooting up like a rocket!
    Stitch: YEEAAAAAA-HAAAAAAWWW!!!!!
    • Also, he saves a froggy while doing everything mentioned above.
  • Right before the above scene, Stitch is in a teary panic over Lilo being kidnapped by Gantu... then the fuel tanker shows up. Stitch then goes from Heroic BSoD to Let's Get Dangerous! in about one second. And it is BADASS.
    Lilo: Don't leave me, okay?!
    Stitch: Okay! Okay... (sees tanker) Okay.
  • During his brawl with Jumba, Stitch shows off just how strong he is by swinging a car at him like a baseball bat. Credit to Jumba too, for taking the hit as if Stitch hit him with a particularly firm pillow.
    Stitch: "BLUE PUNCH BUGGY! NO PUNCH BACK!"
  • Right before Jumba and Stitch's final fight, Stitch tries hiding behind Lilo again, not out of cowardice or cruel pragmatism this time, but because he knows Jumba can't touch her and still get pardoned. Once it's clear Jumba got fired and doesn't care to play by the rules anymore, Stitch immediately shoves Lilo into a side room and gets ready to square up against his creator directly.
  • Jumba's has to be when he turns to Stitch and shouts "IIIIIIIIIIIIIT'S SHOWTIME!"
  • Lilo staying completely and utterly calm during the fight also counts.
  • Even Pleakley gets an awesome moment when he grabs Lilo and sprints as fast as he can away from the ticking time bomb that is the jammed plasma gun. The guy could have just hightailed it away himself and likely avoided getting slammed by debris, but he risked it to save a girl who he barely knew from a completely different species.
  • The fact Lilo beat the crap out of Mertle twice.
  • Jumba, locked in a prison cell, immediately deduces why the Councilwoman came to see him and manipulates the situation to his advantage, leaving him armed with a plasma cannon, in control of a fairly powerful ship, and released from prison.
  • Every time Jumba is taken aback by how capable 626/Stitch actually is - he designed Stitch and yet even with that knowledge he is taken aback whenever Stitch withstands anything he can throw at him or outsmarts him.
  • The climax. Gantu's merrily flying along, requesting hyperspace clearance. Then Jumba's ship rises up, and it dwarfs Gantu's.
    Jumba: [to Stitch] What? Do you think we walked here?
  • Lilo manages to not only prevent Stitch from being taken away but herself as well by stating that arresting Stitch would technically count as stealing.
    • To put this into perspective, Lilo says this to the Grand Councilwoman herself. A six-year-old girl pulled a legal loophole out on one of the most powerful and wise aliens in the galaxy and won.
    • Also the Grand Councilwoman. It's obvious at this point that she doesn't want to take Stitch away, but his previous actions have left her hands tied. The moment Lilo pulls out that loophole, she pounces on it and uses it to legally and officially put Stitch in Lilo's custody, allowing them to stay together.
  • Cobra Bubbles gets one back in the day that actually saved the Earth. Remember that the Grand Councilwoman's first thought was to gas Earth when it was projected that Stitch would land there. Her second thought was destroying the island. Both times she was shot down because mosquitoes are considered an endangered species and humans are part of its food chain. Back in Roswell, former CIA Bubbles convinced an alien race that mosquitoes were an endangered species. Also one of Disney's finest Brick Jokes.
