Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Norris Packard single-handedly holding off the entire 08th MS Team and their reinforcements to protect a hospital ship, thus showing just how dangerous an Ace Pilot is compared to "normal" soldiers. Here it is, in all its glory.
    • Shiro himself gets a minor one during this fight by ripping off his own mecha's arm and hitting Norris' mecha in the face with it. Fun to watch, but would have been significantly more awesome if he had thought to use his beam saber instead, which he still had (and in fact uses later in the battle).

Packard: "That's right! Cower! Be afraid! Die knowing you lost to someone who truly knows how to use a Mobile Suit!"

  • The Magella Tank team holding off of the 08th Team. Looks a bit mundane, if not for the fact that they held off two Gundams with three tanks, and this is long after it has been established that even the Magella Tank has it tough against even GMs.
  • ACGUY has a weird reputation. It's really cute despite being a giant robot and a lot of people think of it as moe rather than actually a problem. And then one of them punches Karen's Gundam's head off with one hit.
