Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* For those who don't like Kira, it was when he stabbed Freedom with Impulse's [[BFS]]. At the ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Z'' promo, this got one of the biggest cheers of the preview.

** Pretty much that entire episode is a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Shinn. Mini-CMoAs include throwing his Gundam's shield in order to bounce a beam off it and hit the Freedom from an unexpected angle, ''splitting his mobile suit '''in half''''' to avoid a saber strike by Kira, and when Kira does his signature move of chopping off the enemy's head and gun/sword arm, Shinn simply detaches the chest flyer, has it ''ram'' the Freedom, and then ''blows it up.'' Finally, there's the simple fact that Shinn pretty much ''called out'' the show's resident [[God Mode Sue]].

*** Bandai themselves acknowledged this CMoA in ''Gundam Vs Gundam'', where all the Impulse's attacks come from this episode - the shield bank-shot, the [[Getter Robo|Open Get]] evasion move, the Chest Flyer bomb, '''all''' reproduced faithfully.

* Those of us who did like Kira on the other hand and didn't think he was a [[God Mode Sue]] (and thought that Shinn needed to grow up a bit) have to look elsewhere for the latter's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. I will always believe that Shinn (and the rest of the ZAFT team) got their CMoA during the Battle at Heaven's Base. It's one of the few times in series where Shinn is one hundred percent, no questions asked in the right (face it: it's tough not to be in the right when you're fighting Blue Cosmos, a group that's somewhere between the Nazis and the KKK). And what happens? He, Rey and Luna go after five Destroys. Luna takes one out on her first flight in the Impulse. Shinn and Rey take down two apiece, and Shinn in the process, finally settles the score with Sting, probably the least sympathetic and most genuinely evil member of the Extended. And on top of it, we get to see [[Complete Monster|Djibril's]] face as he realises that it's all over. Beautiful, just beautiful.

* Pretty much anything Gilbert Durandel does in the series is awesome, but his personal CMOA would probably be calling out LOGOS on international television. After spending episode after episode getting angrier and angrier at Djibril its just awesome to see how Durandel's speech nearly gives him epilepsy

* {{spoiler|[[Complete Monster|Lord]] [[Stupid Evil|Djibril]]}}'s demise. Especially when {{spoiler|[[Oh Crap|he spotted Legend Gundam upon his escape.]]}} Even moreso when {{spoiler|Chairman Durandal}} commented about it.

* Any of the few scenes with Yzak and Dearka back on the battlefields. Between their epic tag-team moves, and destroying Gundams and Mobile Armors in epic Mook Suit, some custom, the viewers can't help but to grin as they are reminded why these two guys have always been awesome. Even Shinn comments in agreement during the Battle of Junius 7.
