  • In general, just seeing the most dire of situations looking up scene by scene. All set to popular music too. When it comes down to it, every person that has called for the Ouendan become Determinators with whatever dire straits they get themselves into, and absolutely crush it.
  • In "Guts da ze!!", the horse (who has only won 1 out of 49 races in his history) comes up from dead last to first place in the final stretch. But that's just the beginning - the horse then proceeds to throw off its rider and chase down the thief all on its own.
  • "Taisetsu na Mono" from the first game also. Nowhere else in the history of mankind has an election been so badass and Hot-Blooded, with the two candidates doing everything (up to and including ramming each other off the road) to secure the public vote, set to one of the most high-energy songs in the entire game.
  • The final song of the first game, "Ready Steady Go": all of the people who you previously helped throughout the game (with the exception of Ishida Tetsu and Cleopatra) come Back for the Finale and gather together with all the people of not just Japan, but the entire EARTH, to stop a meteor from wiping out all of mankind using a Combined Energy Attack formed from the power of cheering. The song is challenging enough that you really feel good if you do well on it, and the scenes of all the people from all over the world cheering, their energy auras getting bigger and bigger, will be sure to pump you up, and the "PLEASE! TRUST ME!" at the end can sort of be vaguely interpreted as a congratulations for making it through the song if you stretch your imagination a bit.
  • What's a team of engineers in the "Zoku" level to do when the city gets attacked by a giant cat? Why, quickly assemble and upgrade a giant robot to defeat it, of course! The energetic song just adds to the atmosphere.
  • The scenario in "Music Hour". Three middle-aged housewives taking on a gang of kidnappers with firearms and attack helicpoters to save the pop idol they're fans of. With a little help from the Ouendan, they manage to stop a missle and toss it back at the gang's leader.
  • The final stage of the second game. Just... seriously. The sun's activity stops, causing a rain of ice meteors that destroys the entire world and begins a new Ice Age. This is before the stage even STARTS. The people of Earth find a glimmer of hope as both the Ouendan Cheer Squad and, shortly after, The Encouraging Nobility (or, alternatively, The Cheer Girls and the Cheer Maidens) show up, putting aside their differences and working together to help the people, set to "Countdown" by HYDE. However, the song cuts out halfway through as the Cheer Squad/Cheer Girls perform a Heroic Sacrifice, pushing the Nobility/Maidens out of the way of an oncoming meteor. The final mission then begins with the spirit bar pegged to zero. As everyone sits in shocked silence at what just happened, Takaya - the little boy from "Bambina" - feels something stirring in his mind, and begins cheering: "Ou-en-daan! Ou-en-daan!" Inspired, the rest of the people begin cheering along with him, as well as the 'rival', resulting in the original team breaking out of the ice, revived by everyone's cheers, and the spirit bar fills back up to full to start the final stage proper. With "Sekai wa Sore o Ai to Yobundaze" by Sambomaster backing them, the two teams and the entire population of Earth cheer with all their hearts to restore Earth to its green and beautiful state and restart the sun's activity. The repeated screaming of "LOVE AND PEACE! LOVE AND PEACE!" at the end of the song will bring tears of joy to your eyes.
    • And after the song concludes and the adrenaline rush dies out, you are treated to one of the most triumphant and literal examples of Cue the Sun.
    • Speaking of Ouendan 2's ending, Tasian's Let's Play of the final level qualifies. In fact, he got so inspired by the events that happened there, he decided to play it with two styli. Watch it in all of its awesomeness here.
    • If you play this song on the hardest difficulty with Hidden mode enabled and keep up a very good combonote , it's entirely possible to break the displayed score cap of 9,999,999.
    • There's also a Game Mod that replaces the Asahi Town Ouendan leader in the final level with an Elite Beat Agent (or Diva on Karei Ni Oen difficulty) for a fan-made Crossover that has the Ouendan teaming up with the Agents to save the world.
