* In episode 22, {{spoiler|After Benkei decides to turn against our heroes, Tsutsuji (who was implied to have been blown out of the colony during their trip to the sun) reappears, ''kicks'' him (activating his chainsaw in Xanthippe's face), and verbally browbeats Benkei into staying on the heroes' side. Who knew henpecking could be awesome?}}

** Also, {{spoiler|Takane gets another [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment.}}

 

== Other ==

** [[Justice Gundam|This troper]]'s favorite moment was {{spoiler|when Shou faced the incredibly huge and powerful Leprechaun piloted by the show's [[Psycho for Hire]], and finally destroyed it, getting everybody rid of Jerrill's worthless existence, with one telling blow. The Hyper Leprechaun [[Nigh Invulnerable|seemed to be invincible]], but he did it nonetheless.}}

* A mention must also be given to ''Combat Mecha [[Xabungle]]'' and it's infamous [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vVauhgm06k ICBM catch].

** He actually preceded it... When [[Ms. Fanservice|Mizuki]] has been dominating a ping pong match with [[Mauve Shirt|Alex]]... there comes Sandman challenging them, with just Leele as his assistant... except she's just there for formalities of a match. Sandman then goes on to completely beat them with perfect score... while [[Calling Your Attacks|calling out attack names of his strikes]]... using SANDALS. That episode certainly shows that even without mecha, {{spoiler|he gets one soon, though}}, Sandman is ''beyond'' awesome.

* ''[[Kannazuki no Miko]]'', especially on Chikane Himemiya. After in the early episodes serving as a [[MacGuffin]] character, she betrayed Himeko, kicks the curb out of Souma; who practically has done all the fighting by himself, corrupts his mecha, took it to the enemy home base, and even without her mecha, she wipes out the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] on foot by herself (except the said squad's leader, but he still loses). And after the end, it's later revealed that it's all just a [[Plan]] due to her reasoning of [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]].

** What about {{spoiler|Kirie}} basically driving his first opponent to suicide ''with words alone''?

*** He gets another by {{spoiler|correctly guessing that Yoko was [[The Mole]] and unmasking her, right before dying}}.

** {{spoiler|Anko}}'s battle in the manga, where {{spoiler|she gets her legs ''burned off'' by acid [[Plucky Girl|but keeps going on]], wins her fight, and ultimately gives a [[Rousing Speech]] to Earth before passing away in her father's arms.}}

* In ''[[Zone of the Enders]] Dolores, I'', when [[Badass Family|the Link ]] arrived at Earth Orbital Elevator, the situation had turned grim, while the officer in charge can't do anything since he didn't get any order. [[Action Mom|Rachel]] explains the situation, that they had to give up most elevator structure to preserve it. While the officer still in doubt, (well, it is a several million dollar infrastructure being sacrificed in process) they decide to take matters into their hands: {{spoiler|[[In Its Hours Of Need|They wrestle their control from said officer]], who can't do or say shit.}} Then, Rachel gives her speech:

** Needless to say, all the officers choose to stay behind.

* The end of ''[[Iczer|Iczer One'']], when Iczer-One and Nagisa finally synchronise with one another, and proceed to unleash massive amounts of butt-kicking. By the way, this was over twenty years before [[Gundam 00]] did the same thing.

* In ''[[Basquash]]'', we have the last scene of Episode Seven. To describe it without giving anything away, let's just say This Troper hasn't been this pumped after a mecha series scene since Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It's just that epic.

** To describe it more thoroughly, {{spoiler|the previous episode and a half had been focusing on [[Magnificent Bastard]] James Lowe's plan to sterilize Street Bigfoot Basketball with rules, referees and lines. To make matters worse, when the fan response is a little less than lukewarm, his only notion is wanting to train them to accept and like these new rules. Cue Sela and Haruka's plan to start disrupting things by distributing scandalous pics of themselves... followed promptly by Dunk Mask, previously in a funk being torn over joining this new league to get the money he needs to make it to the moon and cure his sister and playing the game that fulfills him, showing up to completely disrupt the farce. CUE OPENING THEME AND FOUR MINUTES OF BASQUASH AT ITS ABSOLUTE FINEST. It concludes with Dunk Mask heaving a basketball filled with the diamonds offered to him by Lowe in the most outrageous rebound pattern barrage yet, bouncing every which way until it shatters the glass office that Lowe is watching from. '''KICK. ASS.'''}}
