Mobile Suit Gundam/Awesome

• Crowning Music of Awesome Many such as "Soldier of Sorrow", which has recently been remade by none other than Gackt for Gundam Vs Gundam NEXT. Another iconic one is "Char ga kuru/Here comes Char", a suave song that channles much of the man's aura and can be interpreted as being sung by someone who got beat by him.
• When Lady Kycelia assassinates Gihren Zabi in "Space Fortress: A Baoa Qu". After so many drawn out, bombastic space battles, seeing a Smug Snake go out with a well-deserved gunshot to the head is pretty damn satisfying. Kycelia's chilling I Did What I Had to Do speech is rather epic as well.

"Get rid of the body! Even a supreme commander can't get away with the assassination of his own father. If any of you disagree, then file charges against me after the battle's over!"

• "The Battle Of Odessa", in which Amuro downs two Zeon aces before capping it off by disarming a nuclear missile in midair. It's said that after this, the White Base crew met General Revil 'on friendly terms'. No shit.
• The White Base kids, none of whom are over seven, put their time aboard their ship to good use in "A Dream Of War Orphans", in which they mount a remarkably competent bomb-disposal operation. Particular props go to five-year-old Letz Cofan, who organises the whole thing and even hijacks a flatbed truck to take the bombs away from the Federation's vital GM factory.
• "Farewell in Side Six" marks the point when Amuro truly graduates to One-Man Army status, taking out nine Rick Doms in less than three minutes. For the record, a pilot is considered an ace after they've downed five suits in their entire career, let alone a single battle.
• "Big-Zam's Last Stand", Dozle Zabi's final battle. Not content with merely going One-Man Army on the Federation fleet in order to buy his troops time to escape, he engages the Gundam on foot whilst it's tearing apart his mobile armour. Possibly the most spectacular Heroic Sacrifice in the series, and carried out by one of the bad guys as well.
• The Bright Slap moment, especially in the movie. Bright's words are powerful and his slap even more, turning wimpy Amuro into someone who takes responsibility for his action because he's a man.

Amuro: Y... you hit me!
Bright: So what if I hit you? You can't be a man if you can't take hits!
(...)
Amuro: That's twice! Not even my dad hits me!
Bright: Then maybe your dad was too soft on you!
