Mobile Suit Gundam Wing/Awesome: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* Relena's first Crowning Moment came in the school ball episode. {{spoiler|Heero has her at gunpoint at school, but Relena barely blinks an eyelid and basically tells him: "You'd like to kill me, Heero? Try it. But let me warn you, it would be stupid to do so when everyone's at school and enjoying themselves... Shall we dance, instead?" She utterly and completely ''pwns'' him and even ropes the cold assassin into dancing with her. That requires balls, er, boobs.}}

* This troper had the privilege of attending the US premiere of ''[[Gundam Wing]]: [[The Movie|Endless Waltz]]'', and if the audience's cheers were any indication, both Heero and Relena got their moments near the end of the film. Relena's moment was [[Armor-Piercing Slap|slapping]] [[Enfante Terrible|Mariemaia Kushrenada]], then [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|verbally slapping her around some more]] and then delivering a [[Rousing Speech]] [[Do Not Adjust Your Set|broadcasted worldwide]] where she encourages people to peacefully resist to the Bartons, while Heero's was this exchange minutes earlier:

** ~~I actually think~~ Relena's ~~real~~ first Crowning Moment came in the school ball episode. {{spoiler|Heero has her at gunpoint at school, but Relena barely blinks an eyelid and basically tells him: "You'd like to kill me, Heero? Try it. But let me warn you, it would be stupid to do so when everyone's at school and enjoying themselves... Shall we dance, instead?" She utterly and completely ''pwns'' him and even ropes the cold assassin into dancing with her. That requires balls, er, boobs.}}

** Then, when Relena was "forced" to join [[War for Fun and Profit|Romefeller Foundation]] [[Hostage Situation|for the safety or Sanc Kingdom.]] Everyone thought that they had the [[Rebellious Princess]] under their thumb, and could finally use her for publicity and whatsnot. {{spoiler|And [[Shoot the Dog|Heero was ready to shoot her]] for this.}} Then, Relena showed her [[The High Queen|High Queen in training]] ID and [[Patrick Stewart Speech|calmly made a speech about how they should abdicate war and promoting peace.]] {{spoiler|''In her first appearance in public,'' and knowing full well that Heero was ready to kill her right there. No wonder [[Smug Snake|that the one who had her for this]] was [[Oh Crap|completely dejected]], and most members of Romefeller, touched by her speech, [[Heel Face Turn|decides to stop their effort toward war.]]}}

** Also, Relena gets one that overlaps with [[Tear Jerker]] and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] in the end of the series, {{spoiler|when she refuses to kill Lady Une as punishment for her father's death, [[Cry Cute|driving until then either bitchy or serene Une to tears]].}}

* Heero's "I will... I will... I will SURVIVE!!" before blasting the last remaining debris from the Libra that's hitting Earth, in the last episode. This is amazingly awesome because of the fact he pretty much '''screams''' it (at least in Japanese); this is coming from a guy who has [[The Stoic|never raised his voice prior]]. To top it off, for the majority of the show he didn't care whether he lived or died as long as his mission was completed. Watching that scene was so... [[Squee]].

⚫

* ~~This Troper wants to add the~~ scene of Zechs reappearance after his assumed death. "Zechs Marquise?! I thought you were dead!" "That's right, I was. But I found that I cannot quietly sleep in my grave, while Treize's spirit is still roaming among us."

⚫

** Addendum: "This is Wind. I'm destroying MO-3."

* The ''[[Gundam Wing]]'' TV series' [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] has to be the first appearance of the Gundam Wing Zero, blowing up an ''entire space colony'' in one shot.

* The Series has more CMoA than can possily be listed, but of particular note is the final episode when Heero {{spoiler|fires his BFG at the giant space fortress hurtling towards earth as he begins to burn in the upper atmosphere while yelling "I will... I will... I will survive!" Not to mention when he appears moments later flying away from the massive blast in his jet mode in ultra dramatic style}}

Line 48:

Line 40:

* Lady Une pulls an Awesome moment early in the series. {{spoiler|After General Septum gives his speech, Une tells him "... we won't be needing you any further." Then the floor under Septum drops open , causing him to fall out of the airplane. Une smirks, then swipes out a pistol - ''and shoots the falling Septum in the head''.}} A moment so awesome, the Toonami trailer used it.

* For for a OZ pilot, Walker managed to pull one off. After providing Zechs with Tallgeese, Walker goes into battle to buy him some time and gather data on the Gundams. He manages to save an Alliance general, and surround Heavyarms with his troops. However, {{spoiler|Quatre and the Magnac Corps show up, shooting up the Aries. Utterly outnumbered and outmatched, Walker charges at Sandrock, shouting "Come get me, you monster!" Quatre catches the Aries in his heat shotels. As his mobile suit is being crushed, Walker calmly muses "Well, I always wanted to know how much this thing can take" before he dies.}} Not bad for a guy with one name.

* From ''Endless Waltz'':

** Heero having finally arrived, with Wing Zero, at the compound where Relena and Mariemaia are:
