Line 1:

* 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

Line 28:
** This troper was always fond of a scene not too long after Quatre and Heero escape to Earth after Quatre's [[Sanity Slippage]] and Quatre holds up several men at gunpoint with a machine gun. Sure it's small and somewhat pointless, but considering Quatre is considered weaker than the other pilots, he's still pressuring the soldiers to surrender ''while holding a machine gun''.
* Otto {{spoiler|piloting the Tallgeese in a [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}}
* Treize CMOA: Taking the whole Federation by letting the [[La Résistance|Gundam Pilots]] [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|"do their job"]].
** Defeating Wu Fei in a sword fight, making the [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]] [[Heroic BSOD|having it hard]].
*** Which is then flipped on its head when Treize reveals during his duel with Wufei, who accuses him of being heartless, giving him a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]] by counting off the names of everyone who ever died for him. Seconds later he jumps Wufei, only to be fatally stabbed. Cue [[Tear Jerker]] moment as Wufei gives a manly cry "I didn't think I'd win..."
* Treize challenge Zechs [[Honor Before Reason|to a duel of honour]]. Zechs response: "NO. [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism|There's no honor in war]]." Then [[Combat Pragmatist|shoots Libra's]] [[BFG]] toward Treize. Also counts as CMOA for Treize, {{spoiler|who had same goal with Zechs, ready to accept the blast, just to prove to the world how meaningless war it is}}.
** Followed immediately by {{spoiler|Lady Une finally waking from her coma}}, [[Gundamjack|commandeering the Wing Gundam]], and making it up to space ''just in time to make a [[Diving Save]]''.
*** And props to Wing Gundam for {{spoiler|SURVIVING A SUPERLASER TO THE FACE. Sure, it totaled the mech, but props the designers for pilot safety. Seriously.}}
* [[Action Girl]] Lucrezia Noin gets a more subtle one right after Heero [[Spanner in The Works|pwns OZ]] by [[Take a Third Option|blowing himself and his Gundam up rather than surrender]]. When Lady Une is ''very'' pissed off and about to send OZ to attack the colonies anyway, Noin remarks on that. Une is about to [[Armor
* Trowa uses the traveling circus act as a disguise to hide his Gundam, and reveals it during the show at a military base. Where he proceeds to destroy everything. Just as he is about to commit suicide with his [[Self
* Heck. For this troper, watching Mooks scream out [[Oh Crap|"IT'S A GUNDAM!!"]] is both awesome and funny at the same time. The most notable example is the Deathscythe Hell's first battle where it proceeds to scare an OZ pilot shitless before wreaking havoc on all the others.

Line 42:
* The entire final battle in Endless Waltz. Highlights include:
** Quatre's [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment when he beheads 2 Serpent suits that are attacking Zechs and Noin.
** Trowa unleashing every missle the Heavyarms Custom is carrying, and [[A
** Heero's triumphant entrance into the battle, destroying the barrier to the palace in 3 shots.
** Zechs using his whip to drag a Serpent suit down a street.
