Line 28:
* The tower is the site of yet another deadly battle in the first ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' movie.
** Then again, the only reason the tower is used is that it's ... a big transmitting tower that happens to be in the middle of mystic sites, but is itself not mystic or Jurai or anything other than a big metal thing. The heroes just use it as part of their scheme to turn [[Big Bad]] Kain into [[Sealed Evil in a Can]].
* The tower is the key to accessing deadly doomsday weapons on the moon base in ''[[Please Save My Earth]]''.
* In ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'', the Deimon Devil Bats rent out the tower for the afternoon as part of Hiruma's "Tower of Hell" test, where potential recruits for the team must carry ice up the stairs to the upper observatory on a hot day.
* In the anime ''[[Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto]]'' (''Someday's Dreamers''), the Tokyo Tower is 'bent' by a girl's magical powers. This was in a desperate attempt to impress someone, so she couldn't muster the power to fix it. Fortunately, her tutor apparently can, as the tower appears intact in subsequent episodes.
* Tokyo's city hall is a distinctive building with two tall square-ish towers, each of which has an observation deck on top. In a pinch, it can function as a substitute [[Tokyo Tower]].
** This happens in ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]''.
Line 41:
*** For that matter, nearly ''any'' tall observation tower in Japan will do, if [[Tokyo Tower]] is booked up for another emergency.
** It was the nest of the Devil Gundam in ''[[G Gundam]]''.
** And it was seen in a ruined state in ''[[Code Geass]]''.
* Tokyo Tower is the site of a bombing attempt in one episode of ''[[Detective Conan]]'', and the scene of the climax of the 13th [[Non-Serial Movie]] ''Raven Chaser''.
** Heck, it very nearly qualifies as a [[Weaponized Landmark]] when {{spoiler|Conan takes out the Black Organization's helicopter by ''turning Tokyo Tower into a giant slingshot''.}}
Line 52:
* The [[Tokyo Tower]] is seen in both the [[Anime]] and live action [[Film]] versions of ''[[Death Note]]''.
* Lampshaded in ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' - the Nishizawa Radio Tower may look nothing like the Tokyo Tower, but does all the things the Tokyo tower would in other anime, etc. One time Giroro gets warped into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where he finds a derelict Nishizawa radio tower in ruins. {{spoiler|Turns out the tower was merely obsoleted and abandoned along with the surrounding land, and there's three other towers not far away that have also undergone this.}}
* In ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise]]'', X-Brawn drives to the top of the tower to chuck a bomb into space.
* It gets ''knocked into orbit'' along with a monster in ''[[Super Dreadnought Girl 4946]]'', and manages to impale the monster when they hit the moon.
* The Tokyo Tower was seen in ''[[G Gundam]]'' being destroyed by Domon Kasshu to root out the Devil Gundam's minions, or rather the mind-controlled Shuffle Alliance members.
* The tower is also featurd in the [[Hana no Ko Lunlun]] Japan OAV. Togenishia and Yabooki are seen hanging out there alongside some highschool kids.
* Rather plot-important in ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]''. {{spoiler|It didn't look the way it does in real life... but it was a 30-meters tall ''David sculpture''. It got retconned into the Tower we know and love when Momoka rewrites reality to free her friend Yuri from her abusive father.}}
Line 69:
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Madan Senki Ryukendo]]'' has Akebono Tower which is obviously Tokyo Tower [[Weaponized Landmark|transformed]] into a [[Monster of the Week]]. Then exploded by the titular hero and reformed in the wrong location, where it will take a week to move it back to where it originally was.
* ''[[Kamen Rider Kabuto]]'', Tokyo Tower is located near where many of the big events happen and is even used on occasion. For example, "a one-of-a-kind tulip". In the AU movie, it's even bent down from the explosion in Shibuya.
** ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'' reuses it. In Kabuto World, the Hikari Studios is placed right near the tower. Natsumi calls it "trendy". The tower is also used for the final battle. There is surprisingly little property damage.
*** ''Decade'' even lampshades the tower's prominence in ''Kabuto'': each of the AU worlds is represented in the photo studio by a backdrop that shows important elements from their source series. Kabuto's backdrop is Tokyo Tower with Tendou's skyward-pointing finger next to it.
