== Other Examples ==

* If anyone ever has to know why people are willing to pay millions of yen to Dr. Black Jack just for the privilege of having him slice you open, here is why: The man once successfully operated on his ''own intestines while lying in the middle of the Austrailian outback and surrounded by rabid dingos.'' Hol-Ay ''[[HSQ|Shit]]!''

* ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato|Space Battleship Yamato]]'' has a Moment of Awesome in the second movie, ''Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato'' not in a specific action, but by its pure inspiration. After watching the entire, built in the last 2 years, Earth Defense space navy get devastated on live TV, the alien Comet Empire demands Earth's surrender. Just before the surrender, the ''Yamato'' warps in between the Empire and Earth, and '''everyone on the planet''' says "It's ''Yamato!'' We still have the ''Yamato!'' We're gonna ''win!''". Keep in mind we're talking about a SINGLE SHIP apprearing as a reinforcement after an entire FLEET was almost effortlessly destroyed by the enemy.

* Near the end of ''[[The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye]]'', Bogie (an AI-controlled tank) takes on {{spoiler|an an anti-tank helicopter (also AI-controlled). He eventually takes it out by using a clever trick to ''leap into the air'' and shoot it <s>in the face</s> at close range}}.

** In the final episode, Honoka {{spoiler|wipes out an entire army with a single sword-stroke}}.

** Miura gets her moment of awesome as well, in the procession for a local shrine's [[Festival Episode|festival]] -- so awesome, Yotsuba tries to imitate her.

** Yotsuba gets a moment in being [[Cheerful Child|so freaking cute]] that the denizens of [[Image Boards|4chan]] -- easily the most infamous and [[Squick|squick-filled]] place on the internet -- will [[Internet Backlash|flame anyone into eternity]] for posting [[Rule 34]] of her, something not even her predecessor [[Azumanga Daioh|Chiyo-chan]] (see [[Cheerful Child]]) could pull off.

* ''[[Lone Wolf and Cub]]'' is largely a string of Moments of Awesome for the main character, Ogami Itto. Simply hearing his name is enough to make a grown man scream in terror. But the epic nature of the series leads up to one of the most Awesome endings ever printed. {{spoiler|His quest has led him to battle the Kurokuwa ninja many times throughout the series. By the time the final battle with his nemesis, Retsudo, rolls around, Itto has quite literally killed his way through '''every ninja in Japan.''' Most of them in the last couple of chapters.}} Also worth mentioning is the episode ''Will of the Fang'', where Itto is forced to fight Masatsune, one of his old sword students who never quite finished his studies. Now the local lord, Masatsune leads his whole army against Itto. After hacking his way through them all, Itto kills Masatsune in a [[Single Stroke Bat]]
