When a show has such a huge and devoted fanbase as Joss Whedon\u2019s Buffy, pleasing every fan with an adequate ranking is pretty much impossible, so it is what it is.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Here are some of the most memorable moments in Buffy the Vampire Slayer that will hit you right in the feels (again).\n\n\n\n</p><h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>1. The Slayer Awakening\n\n\n\n</h2><p>In the show\u2019s final season, we get to witness Buffy and her Scooby Doo gang face the ultimate, primordial evil. Unlike the yappy Glory, the First Evil was able to destroy the Watcher\u2019s Council and then release an army of ancient vampires to hunt dormant slayers. So, what can one Slayer do to counter that? Buffy and Willow did some magic stuff, which awakened the Slayer powers within all of them. Sadly, that\u2019s pretty much where the show ends, but thank goodness, the story continued in the comics, with Buffy leading a whole army of rookie Slayers against the evil forces.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/06%5C/Best-Moments-from-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-1-1024x646.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-118124\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>2. Angel Goes to Hell\n\n\n\n</h2><p>When you have vampires and other unholy creatures breathing down your neck every hour of every day, dating is tough. But you know what they say: \u201cIf the normies aren\u2019t cutting it, it\u2019s time to date a brooding vampire.\u201d Cue in Angel, a vampire with a soul who will go to hell if he ever experiences true happiness. Technically, Angel\u2019s body would revert to the evil Angelus, but his soul would remain in hell. A night of passion with Buffy brought true happiness, forcing him to decide between killing Angelus and allowing the world to collapse. If it hadn\u2019t been for Willow\u2019s timely spell that restored his soul, Angel would have been a goner.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/06%5C/Best-Moments-from-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-2-1024x512.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-118125\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-embed' is-type-rich><div class='\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"'>\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=mNIUqHw5mrU%3Ffeature%3Doembed\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>3. Sunnydale High Gets Blown Up\n\n\n\n</h2><p>The first 3 seasons are known as the \u201chigh school years,\u201d as they were more focused on Buffy and her friends\u2019 high school problems. Even though the later seasons got much darker, it is impossible to forget the graduation episode, where Buffy took it up a notch and blew up the school but also saved a bunch of people from an evil monster.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/06%5C/Best-Moments-from-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-3-1024x576.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-118126\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-embed' is-type-rich><div class='\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"'>\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=Y9iX9ZlQ6cY%3Ffeature%3Doembed\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>4. Faith Casually Kills A Random Bystander\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Eliza Dushku\u2019s portrayal of Faith in the Buffyverse is undeniably unpredictable. Her Slayer powers awakened when Buffy technically died that one time, and after that, Buffy became sort of a mentor to her. However, things took a turn when Faith unintentionally stabbed a random guy in the heart, mistaking him for a vampire. Eventually, Faith turns away from Buffy and joins the Mayor, who showers her with presents and support, leading to a showdown between the two Slayers. The whole arc of Faith going through this mental break is amazing to watch, even if the evil Mayor is kinda lame at times.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/06%5C/Best-Moments-from-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-4-1024x539.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-118127\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>5. Spike\u2019s Final Sacrifice\n\n\n\n</h2><p>Buffy\u2019s plan to awaken the slayers was a success, but even with that army of badass superhuman warriors, the First Evil was too much to handle. But leave it to Spike to have the final word. This lowly vampire sacrificed himself to defeat the First, saving Buffy and the world. Such redemption arcs are always fun to watch because we\u2019ve followed his character\u2019s development for six years by then. Some cried, others cheered, but we all agree that Spike\u2019s journey from zero to hero is one of the best in the whole show.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/06%5C/Best-Moments-from-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-5.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-118128\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-embed' is-type-rich><div class='\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"'>\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=DNFmBpEhYXs%3Ffeature%3Doembed\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>6. Willow and Tara\u2019s First Kiss\n\n\n\n</h2><p>How big of a deal was Willow and Tara\u2019s first kiss on screen? Well, for starters, the network was refusing to include it and asked Whedon to cut the kiss from the episode. Thankfully, Joss threatened he\u2019d quit the show, so the bosses had to listen. Secondly, the kiss between these two characters finally gave the fans a definitive answer about Willow\u2019s sexuality. All their efforts paid off when, later, Willow and her future girlfriend Kennedy were part of the first lesbian sex scene on primetime TV.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/06%5C/Best-Moments-from-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-6-1024x577.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-118129\"\/'>\n\n\n\n<h2 class='\"wp-block-heading\"'>7. Tara Dies In Front Of Willow\n\n\n\n</h2><p>But sadly, Willow and Tara\u2019s happiness didn\u2019t last long. In season 6, we didn\u2019t get the Ultra Evil Bad Guy Demon, and instead we got a series of unfortunate events that led to Warren accidentally shooting Tara while trying to off Buffy. This broke Willow mentally and pushed her into deep grief and despair. This season proves one need not be an ancient demon to be evil. All it takes is one bad day.\n\n\n\n<figure class='\"wp-block-image\"'><img decoding='\"async\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/img-cdn.brainberries.co%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2024%5C/06%5C/Best-Moments-from-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-7-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' class='\"wp-image-118130\"\/'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buffy the Vampire Slayer is rightfully considered one of the most iconic shows ever produced and contains a lot of incredible moments that can make all sorts of emotions come out.
