Kamina dies

Claymore
Teresa's death. It was entirely unexpected, and happened so quickly at that. You couldn't help but have your jaw open the entire time. Teresa had her on the ropes the entire battle, then one drop of her guard and BOOM. So tragic, so sad, so unexpected, yet so epic all at once.
Steins;Gate
The Rounders and Moeka attacking Okabe and his group, killing Mayushi in the process.
(2)
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
Yuuki, the brother of main character Onozawa Mirai, was dead the entire time, only Mirai was in denial.

The best plot twist, in my opinion, would be this:
Magical Girls turning into Witches in Puella Magi
In a show that throws something new at you each week, this was totally unexpected.

The whole plan not just that moment. It wasn't confusing or anything, but it was very well-played.

Hum. I thought about this one. And even if the whole series is a bit shameful to watch I decided to nominate...
Saint Seiya Omega. Aria DIES. I seriously wasn't expecting it. After all in Saint Seiya the plot more and less always followed the same pattern. This time, Athena is not there, SHE DIED. Which I think it's cool, gives a feeling of despair that I actually enjoy.

Those are the best plotwist IMHO:

1) One Piece
Ace being Roger's son was unexpected.
2) Mirai Nikki
The time paradox.

That's it for me.
