Soul Chess/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* Even if you don't normally cheer for the villains, it's hard to deny when Talbumosuke {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|defeats Baraggan]]. This is different from Soifon and Hachigen's [[Hoist by His Own Petard|maneuver]] Talbumosuke fought the guy on point and completely OVERPOWERED HIM in a way that didn't make Talbumosuke a god mod, but more or less established him as a competent, very dangerous villain. His [[NoWon't SellWork On Me|nullification]] of [[Breath Weapon|Respira]] was done in a way that [[Averted Trope|doesn't look]] [[Ass Pull|like it came out of nowhere]] and is standard enough that it can't be abused for other purposes. Seriously in what other situation would Talbumosuke need an aging nullifier? That wasn't an [[Ass Pull]] that was Talbumosuke [[Genre Savvy|using his brain]]}}.

* In the omake of chapter 73 when Kaien and Renji are [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|dueling]] Kaien summons [[Ghost Rider]]. [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer|No, really]].

* When Lelouch’s plans start coming together during the {{spoiler|Fall of Talbumosuke arc}} you just can’t help, but smile at the absolute brilliance Lelouch had for every last one of them and how all of his plans brilliantly chained together. {{spoiler|Of course [[Spanner in the Works|Spargga was a little more lethal than Lelouch intended]] and he admits this}}. What takes this specific example [[Up to Eleven]] was when {{spoiler|Gin runs Talbumosuke through with his Bankai after Lelouch lured the man right into a similar trap he did with Aize. He had Talbumosuke fight Yamamoto and Urahara, two of the bigger contenders of the battle FIRST, to wear Talbumosuke out, then he kept Talbumosuke’s focus on him and Yuna and weakened him further to the point where Lelouch was so weak Talbumosuke was kicking him along the ground. Lelouch traps him in his Spirit Prison technique which Gin then uses as an opening to impale him}}.

* Just the fact that Lelouch has the [[Brass Balls]] to call out the Central Forty Six on their actions as an organization is awesome in and of itself, and the debate/lawsuit that follows really brings Lelouch into his true element, but it's his final statement that really brings it home in the [[Large Ham]] [[Chewing the Scenery]] fashion you expect to come from him.

{{quote| '''Lelouch''': "We, the Gotei Thirteen are the heart and soul of the Soul Society. All I see before me are some old geezers that do everything to undercut our power. The only ones who should shoot are the ones willing to be shot at. The only ones who should lead are the ones willing to be led! THE ONLY ONES WHO SHOULD JUDGE ARE THE ONES WILLING TO BE JUDGED!"}}

* Renji [[Good Old Fisticuffs|punches]] the head of his Bankai in the face when Zabimaru uses it against him and actually knocks it off course. All that [[Training Fromfrom Hell|training]] from the last arc seemed to be good for something. {{spoiler|Kaien}} lampshades this saying Renji wins the awad for [[Badass]] of the month saying that moment mentioned above was a little more awesome than what Renji just did

* Chapter 104: The battle between Muramasa and {{spoiler|Eien Tamashi}}. [[Up to Eleven|Made more awesome]] by the author saying in the [[Brick Joke|preliminary chapter notes]] that the readers could use the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|1812 Overture]] to enhance the experience. Yeah that's right, at the end of the battle, there's [[Stuff Blowing Up]].

{{quote| ''' {{spoiler|Eien Tamashi}}''': [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Cue the music]]!}}

** The fact that she {{spoiler|Only used her Shikai and didn't even have to}} makes it more awesome. This troper isn't big on [[O CsOCs]] {{spoiler|beating extremely powerful canon characters}}, but there's just something satisfying about {{spoiler|Aizen getting his ass beat}}. Humble Pie indeed.
