Basillo is my favorite. He didn't awaken in a heated moment that leads to a fight, it wasn't out of anger for the cruel world, but by making a promise to his late brother that he will walk his own path. Truly a unique awakening in Atlus history.
I like how all the awakenings were giving an idea of how their Archetypes work. Strohl is explosive, and his Archetype is the most offensive in the simplest way. Hulkenberg is more subtle but notice how Grius' attack was deflected so easily with no extra movement. It gives an idea that Hulkenberg's Archetype is defensive, and can take the damage. When Heismay awakens, the backdrop is evening. Thief is an agile Dark Archetype that demonstrates his agility. Junah's Awakening is special in that the mysterious voice doesn't call out to her, but instead responds to her realizations of how Magic works. Gallica says music is a primal magic in the setting, and Junah knows this, because she's a singer AND a mage association student. Eupha's own awakening is probably the most unsubtle in display but meaningful because she's outright the one who summons not just power but the courage to live on past the purpose she thought she was going to play a role in, and that she would go on in the role she is supposed to take up. She's the Summoner and can bring out monsters we usually fought as attacks. Basilio's own grief turning into his Awakening doesn't even open with a fight, and he shows anger to the point that he passes out. Him being awakened into a Berserker makes sense because Berserkers aren't mindless as the common stereotype, but they just enter a trance of battle. All of their awakenings were just amazing.
Unlike the others, Junah actually figured out how to bring out her Archetype. Because she, like Gallica, knows that Music is one of the primal forms of magic in the setting.
I feel like all the awakenings should've had a crowd like Leon's. It really sold the point that you all did what you could, not for yourselves, but for the people.

Junah just felt so great she toke control and made the awakening like a grand performance the beauty and Grace she had it was brilliant

Strohl’s is the best so far I wish the rest were more dramatic and out there
Basilios was as dramatic on the side of sadness
He has a very "I am Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." vibe. I do like Basilio's though.
My favourite is hulkenbergs so far
I like how Bas is the only one whose awakening isn’t followed up with a fight just plan interesting
Always love awakenings where the soul of a loved one becomes a new power

I think Strohl, Eupha and Basilio are top 3 for sure.
Junah really needed better thi
Bazilo top 1)
PERSONA!!!!! Is what i always yell
Eupha might be best girl but Strohl absolutely has the best awakening, with Bas as a close second
