Elfen Lied/Awesome: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

* Lest we forget the manga, which had several: {{spoiler|Bando saving Mayu, eventually at the cost of [[Redemption Equals Death|his own life]]}}, or {{spoiler|Kurama regaining his sanity and saving Nana from the Mariko clone}}. Moments like those carry extra weight, considering it was extremely likely that [[World Half Empty|things would've ended on far nastier terms]].

* Kouta gets several as well, including {{spoiler|getting shot several times to save his <s> friends</s> family. Most importantly taking a bullet for Lucy even after he figured out she killed his dad and sister ''just because he couldn't stand losing another family member'', even Lucy.}} Also combined with [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] the several times he takes [[Break the Cutie|one of the girls]] into his house and makes them part of his family with barely any hesitation, just because they need someone to care.

* Near the end of the manga: {{spoiler|Kouta has a fatal gunshot wound, Lucy/Kaede's body is already at limits from a abortive attempt at avenging the aforementioned fact '''[[Kill Em All|on a global scale]]''' (which ended in technically minor damage to the neighbouring city), and JSDF air and maritime forces are already scrambling to take her out with their ''full firepower'' - fighter jets, warships, missiles, the whole works. What does Lucy/Kaede do? She proceeds to sing the title song ''Elfen Lied'' while patching up Kouta's body ''on a cellular level'' '''and''' [[The Last Dance|blasting the JSDF forces out of both sky and sea]], ''[[Excuse Me While I Multitask|simultaneously]]''. And she knows full well that she's going to end up with a terminal ''and'' ultimately fatal [[Superpower Meltdown]] from the effort.}}

* Nana's first realization of the advantage having a full set of artificial limbs gives her. Namely, [[Disability Superpower|being able to literally throw her arms and legs at an enemy using her vectors]].

* Chapter 63, even better with Tchaikovsky as background music.
