→Anime and Manga: Moved the bullet point (with subexamples) about Tokyo's city hall to its own subsection, with the correct name of the building. Also did some minor cleanup.

Line 17:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The tower is heavily damaged in a fight between ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' and friends and one of the members of the third season's [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]].
* ''[[CLAMP]]'' often features Tokyo Tower as the site of an important event
** Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu are sucked away to Cephiro from Tokyo Tower at the start of ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''. Their schools were holding student trips there on exactly the same day. {{spoiler|Once the first part brings a [[Downer Ending]], the girls are brought back there to square one. At the beginning of part 2 (at least in the anime), the three go to the Tower on their own to speak about their experiences... and are brought back to Cephiro to help deal with the choosing of a new Pillar.}}
** The [[Alternate Continuity|various versions]] of ''[[X 1999]]'' are fond of having the climactic battle there. (In [[The Movie]], even more [[Anvilicious]]ly, the magical shield Kamui generates there is a glowing golden sphere which visually evokes Japan's identity as the land of the Rising Sun.)
Line 31:
* 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 ''[[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]]''.▼
** ...and ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]''.▼
** It was the center of operations in ''[[Blue Seed]]''.▼
** As well as for the Hypnos [[The Men in Black|Men in Black]] organization in ''[[Digimon Tamers]]''.▼
** [[CLAMP]]'s fond of using it in this way, as they do in both ''[[X 1999]]'' (the Dragons of Earth are headquartered beneath it) and ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' (it serves as a foil to Tokyo Tower in a world where there are only two intact structures left).▼
** Its ruins play a small role in ''[[Silent Moebius]]'' as the resting place of Grospoliner, Katsumi's sword.▼
** It was nearly attacked by EI-02, the first [[Robeast|Zonder Robo]] in ''[[GaoGaiGar]]''.▼
*** 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 55 ⟶ 44:
* 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
* 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.}}
* In ''[[Gantz]]'', the tower can be seen from the apartment where Gantz gathers its latest "recruits".
