    Season One 
  • When Tripitaka discovers that the demon who stole Monkey's crown is sitting in the tavern she's now working in, she quickly comes up with a plan to send him to sleep before she steals the crown from him. She then manages to evade capture (with aid from a monk she'd helped earlier in the episode), escape the town and free the Monkey King.
  • Monkey's entrance. He bursts out of the mountain, strides right up to the Font Demon, laughs off the demon's attempts to intimidate him, and gives a pretty epic Badass Boast.
  • During a fight, Monkey throws his drink into the air, punches two mercenaries and knocks them aside, and then catches the cup and drinks from it without missing a beat.
  • Monkey's angry Curb-Stomp Battle against the demons at the end of episode six.
  • Gwen has been living in the same forest as the Forest Kin, for centuries. Keep in mind that the Forest Kin are so deadly that even powerful demons like the Shaman fear them.
  • At the end of episode nine, Tripitaka steals the last page of the translation and attempts to escape. While she ends up dropping the page during a confrontation with Davari, she manages to get away from him and avoid capture.
  • The resistance manages to give Tripitaka a lock of God's hair so she can use it to control the font demons. Cue her leading them into battle against the other demons, right when Monkey and Pigsy needed help.]
  • The Shaman pushes Tripitaka off a balcony, and Monkey jumps after her. This leads to him finally being able to summon his cloud.

    Season Two 
  • While running away from the demons, Monkey casually catches an arrow in mid-air inches before it hits his face. He does this even more casually many episodes later, before it hits Tripitaka in the face.
  • Villainous one, but Cranius Kang flying past all the tests in the Infinite Archive with ridiculous ease (except for the last one).
    • Monkey doesn’t stop Cranius Kang because he knows the demon took the wrong scroll, and explains why. Too bad he himself also took the wrong scroll. Tripitaka gets it right.
  • Monkey still manages to kick a decent amount of ass even without his staff.
  • Pigsy, despite lying on what could be his deathbed, calls his rake to his hands and uses it to kill a Harvester, without even getting to his feet.
  • Not only does Kaedo manage to escape the Harvesters with ease, but he also manages to impress General Khan enough that she makes him her champion. Not to mention unexplainably recovering from a deadly poison.
  • Tripitaka steals Monkey’s staff back from Gorm.
  • The group taking out Dreglon and his demons without even breaking a sweat.
  • Sandy is powerful enough that when she concentrates, she’s able to make everyone around her cry. Including Gaxin and Monkey.
  • While with the rebellion, Tripitaka manages to figure out what’s actually going on with the demons, even when everyone else is against her, and escapes with her friends to stop Hagfish. Not to mention she manages to trick Dreglon into believing she’s under Hagfish’s control and lets him go so he can lead them to Hagfish.
  • Shadow Monkey beating the snot out of Gorm, who had previously given Monkey a challenge.
