Gurren Lagann:
The last episode in it's entirety. Simon and Team Dai-Gurren literally do the impossible by escaping the Extradimensional Labyrinth and finally take on the Anti-Spiral by forming the largest mech in anime history. Epic battle ensues, galaxies are thrown like frisbees, and Simon defeats the Anti-Spiral. The movie version of this fight is a whole lot better, but seeing it for the first time just filled me with euphoria. The ending was tear jerking though, to see Simon as an old man like that just really broke me down.
 
Superman the Animated Series, "Legacy"

When Superman confronts Darkseid about controlling him like a puppet, and darkseid reminds him of what he said to supes a year earlier in "Apokolips...Now!" - "If you will not be my knight, then you will be my pawn"

Deep Space Nine, "Tacking into the Wind"

Two moments, first when Sisko all but orders Worf to kill Gowron, and secondly when Damar's family are murdered and he finds out, and asks something like "What kind of state tolerates the murder of innocent women and children? What kind of people give those orders?", and with PERFECT TIMING AND TONE, Kira responds: "Yeah, Damar—what kind of people give those orders?"
 
Doctor Who:
The moment during The Pirate Planet finale when the villains think they've killed The Doctor only to find he's scammed them right into his hands. The Dalek reveal in Doomsday, Time Lord Victorious and The Eleventh Hour.

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 5 Episode 10 -
Larry David dies, and sees his mom, played by Bea Arthur

As much as I'm glad I got to see a Seinfeld reunion, this show could have ended with that episode and I would have been completely happy.
 
Lost:
Charlie's death. I never liked the character but this was really depressing. And the Season 1 finale was pretty good too. And the death of Juliette too...

Game of Thrones:
The battle of Blackwater is totally the best point. Red Wedding was awesome too though.

One Piece:
Ace's death.

DeathNote:
Hmm, I think the car scene, with Yagami and his father was the one I liked the most.
 
LOST:
Through the Looking Glass, especially the gamechanger that was "WE HAVE TO GO BAAAAACK!"
, also
Desmond and Penny's phonecall from The Constant
.

Breaking Bad:
the ending of Crawl Space
, a moment more tense and terrifying than many other "horror" movies. The entirety of Ozymandias, culminating in
Walt's fight scene with Skyler, Flynn's heroic moment and "WE'RE A FAMILY"
- that episode was, for me, the true "ending" of the series and the last two were more of an extended epilogue of sorts.

The Wire: Too many to mention!
-Season 1:
the hit on Kima and Orlando
and the chaos that ensued.
Wallace's death and D'Angelo's reaction
.
-Season 2:
D'Angelo's speech and his untimely death
. the already mentioned
Frank Sobotka's last walk
, the shadow of impeding doom was all over that scene.
-Season 3:
Avon and Stringer's conversation in the rooftop, both men having betrayed each other
and
Stringer's death at the hand of Omar and Brother Mouzone - "get on with, motherf-"
and the thing that thematically ties both scenes:
after Stringer's been shot, we see a "B&B developments" billboard across the street. The Barksdale & Bell brotherhood was, at that point, a mere illusion.
-Season 4: THE WHOLE THING. But if we're doing specific moments:
Randy's “You gonna help me? You gonna help me Sgt Carver?”
sticks out as a very bleak and emotional scene. I never thought I could end up so affected by a fictional character until...
-Season 5:
Mike and Dukie's final conversation in the car
. THE bleakest, darkest scene in the series, probably. It hits me too hard. It's just too fucking heartbreaking. On the other hand,
Bubbles... nah, Reginald's walk up the stairs
is such an amazing moment of pure happiness, hope and redemption that almost, ALMOST managed to compensate for that other moment's darkness. It's a payoff five seasons in the making, and it doesn't disappoint at all. Another great moment is
Snoop's death - the one moment she acted like a normal girl instead of a hollow, vicious killer
.

I'm sure I'm forgetting lots, but these are the ones that come to mind.
 
ATLA -
Zuko vs. Azula Agni Kai. The whole fight was just beautifully done from the colors to the movements and the music. It all just gets you so emotionally involved.
 
The West Wing, Two Cathedrals: "Watch this."

It's not my favourite series, but is probably my favourite moment in television and the absolute high point.
 
One Piece: Mine is the same as OP,
when Luffy went gear 2nd I was astounded. After that scene the fight was amazing, and I finally believed that One Piece was going to get some good action. I was right to believe that, because the action did get better after that arc.

HXH (2011) - Gon
finally learns a move! No more using random tactics, he can finally use attack moves when he fights. It certainly made the action scenes with Gon in it better, and more tactical.
 
The Wire:
Wallaces death.

The Shield:
The Money train heist. You just knw nothing was going to be the same after it.

The Sopranos:
Ralphie VS Tony. They'd been building up to that fight since Ralphes introduction.

Edit. Just to name a few.

Beast Wars - Code of Hero
Dinobot gives all of what little he has left, after facing off against and taking out almost every single one of his former comrades, to shatter the golden disk. We get a triple shot from 3 different angles of Dinobot screaming as he blasts the golden disk, and then we see Dinobot's limp body fall to the ground along with the shards of the golden disk. That scene puts a lump in my throat

Beast Wars -
The episode with the retarded transformer.
Click to expand...
Season 2 of Beast Wars was incredible. Good humor, good action, good animation. The last 5 episodes were just a steady stream of good quality. In addition to these two episodes, I'll give a hats off to The Agenda 3-parter. I mean,
Optimus Prime gets shot in the face
! How do you improve on that?
 
LOST:
first 2 seasons, Kate's and Sawyer's sex in a cage, Sawyer on a helicopter, kissing Kate and then jumping into the ocean.

Scrubs:
When 3 pacients of Dr. Cox died. I cry almost every time i see this scene. End of season 8, when Dr. Cox admits that he likes J.D and then J.D walking to his car and driving away when "Superman" is playing.

The Sopranos:
Pine Barrens, Andrea's murder.

Breaking Bad:
Gale murder, lab destruction scene, "I won". "We are Family", scene in a bar when he called the police in "Granite State", Jesse's and Walt's nods to each other in final episode.

The Shield:
When Vic saw Money Train money, guys saying goodbye to Lem when Disarm is playing, Lem's death, when Vic found out tha Shane killed Lem, when Shane kills his family, when Vic betrays Ronnie in the end.

Friends:
Last scene, it was perfect.

The Office (US):
Michael leaving and then coming back in the finale.
