Line 6:
** Of course, don't forget how he handled his best friend, another Zabi. A normal bastard will leads his best friend right into an enemy trap. A Magnificent Bastard? Calls him on the phone, explains his motives, and waves good-bye.
* "Take your sorrow, and turn it into anger! Zeon thirsts for the strength of its people! '''SIEG ZEON!'''" [[Social Darwinist|Gihren Zabi]] taking the death of his little brother and turning it into a political rally; not in the final episode, but still an iconic moment for the series.
** His younger sister gets one herself, as she reveals just WHO is the last Zabi standing.
** Andrew WK did a fandub of that speech. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L03K2njcCrM It is glorious.]
** [[Gackt]], being a [[One of Us|a huge fanboy of the series]] ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a87gJSNm9t0 pulls it off in a live concert!]''
Line 20:
== Gundam: [[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]] ==
* Whilst taking place in the same time frame as the original series, this series also has some awesome moments. This troper believes that the one that trumps all other moments in the series is summarized in [[Two Words]]: Norris Packard.
* Also, in the middle of his fight with Norris, the main protagonist, Shiro Amada, after going into something of an [[Unstoppable Rage]], ''rips off his own unit's damaged arm'' in order to fight with Norris further, and ''uses it as a bludgeon''.
Line 38:
* From the third episode of MG IGLOO 2: Guntank charge!
== [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in
* Bernie certainly deserves a mention for being able to hold his own against the new, insanely powerful, state of the art Gundam for at least a few minutes, despite being only an inexperienced rookie in a battered, mass-produced Zaku. {{spoiler|Of course he ends up dying a tragic, horrible death, leading into what can be seen as a brutal subversion of pretty much everything this trope is about.}}
** One could argue that {{spoiler|his death}} is both an awesome moment {{spoiler|and a [[Tear Jerker]].}}
*** Of course, since Bernie is voiced in the English dub by [[Metal Gear Solid|David Hayter]] - [[Badass|THE DAVID HAYTER]] - this makes perfect, poignant sense.
** Take a moment to process that. He took on a GUNDAM with a ZAKU, and knowing the pathetic odds of success too. That's pretty awesome in this troper's opinion.
== [[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory]] ==
Line 67:
* What about Judau having bombs strapped to the ZZ Gundam, and then strapping grenades to ''himself''? And then, he forces his way into the Neo Zeon flagship with them.
* In the final episode, during his duel against Haman, Judau reactivates the disabled Double Zeta by channeling the strength of the good men and women from the original series, ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Zeta Gundam]]'', and ZZ, including {{spoiler|Elpeo Puru}}, Lalah Sune, Four Murasame, Katz Kobayashi, Sarah Zabiarov, and lastly Kamille Bidan. He then unleashes a tremendous [[Wave Motion Gun]] blast on Haman before their duel ends with a [[Single-Stroke Battle]] exchange. This leads to a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], where Haman admits defeat as Judau asks why she didn't use as many funnels as she could've. Haman scoffs that they were conducting a duel and it wouldn't be fair, and dies with a smile on her face anyways, glad she came back if only to meet Judau.
* Judau punching Bright Noah at the end of the series. Awesome for Judau for enacting revenge for all those Brightslaps that Bright handed out over the course of three series. Awesome for Bright because it let Judau vent all his frustrations.
** As long as we're talking about Judau punching people we can't forget when he punched out that obnoxious prick Wong Lee. Made even more awesome by the way it punishes Wong for the way he beat up Kamille back in Zeta.
* "I am Mashymre Celo, Zeon commander!" "I am Judau Ashta...." ''glances to the left and right'' "...currently skipping school!" ...although this may be a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]], but let's just say it belongs here.
Line 73:
== [[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Victory Gundam]] ==
* Even though it isn't a gundam that is stolen, it takes some amazing skills for a 13 year old (the main character) to: Grab hold of the ''flying'' mobile suit after landing on it in a parachute, fight hand to hand the ace pilot who is far older and is wearing an helmet, and after a brutal fight managing to take control of the machine underwater. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRiG9csYk2o&feature=related It really needs to be seen to be believed.]
* Though it overlaps with a major [[Tear Jerker]], the kamikaze run of the ''Reinforce Jr.'' definitely qualifies, from all the defiant looks on the old guys' faces to the music in the background. Probably the most awesome part of it, though, is the long-overdue [[Took a Level
== [[Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack|Char's Counterattack]] ==
Line 81:
* For this troper, Amuro jumping out of a car to crash-tackle a horse-riding Char is the scene that sticks in his mind for the movie.
== [[Turn
* Loran using the last two nuclear missiles in existence to stop a [[Colony Drop|space colony from destroying a city on the moon]].
* [[Kiai|UNIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERSE!]] Enough said.
Line 132:
** First, pilots a mobile suit with ''no arms'' through a raging battle to get to the Le Cygne...
** Second, when she gets in the Le Cygne, an MS she's never piloted before, using minimal movement to dodge cyber-newtype Erisia's shots by a hair...
** And finally, when Erisa tries going into close combat, demonstrating just why the staff nicknamed the Le Cygne "[[Ninja|Kunoichi]] Gundam".
== Fandom ==
Line 138:
* Japanese ''Gundam'' fandom managed to flesh out the vague references in the original ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' and create a proper UC time line, which was adopted by Sunrise.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvxxXGz8wjA This video.] Master Asia would be proud.
