Senki Zesshou Symphogear/Awesome

• Old man Genjuro stops Tsubasa's BFS before it hits Hibiki. He's just Badass enough to not needing a Relic to stop a Relic user. Rumor is that he is skilled in "a special kind of martial arts". Said martial arts might be Ansatsuken.
  • To note, an old man punches out a freaking BFS!
  • Genjuro continues to be awesome in Episode 8, where he saved Chris from Noise attacks by using his own feet to stomp the ground and create walls to protect both of them... which is followed by jumping with Chris to the top of a building.
• Hibiki in episode three shows us that no, the Slasher Smile and the Glowing Eyes of Doom in the first episode were not a lie. Beware the Nice Ones, indeed.
• Hibiki in episode 5 shows us the results of her training by effortlessly defeating a group of Noise by herself.
  • Berserk!Hibiki with Durandal blows up a whole chemical factory!
• Hibiki's epic rant and Megaton Punch to the Nehushtan Armor user in episode 6.
• Episode 7: One CMOA for the enemies, what with the Nehushtan Girl revealing that she's a Symphogear user, and her relic is one of the few completed ones. Cue MEGA DETH PARTY.
  • Fortunately we have Tsubasa's counterattack.
• A CMOA for the Noise in general, for being so effective a threat even if they're only mooks.
• Genjuro showing up out of nowhere in episode 8, and using his Badass Normal skills to take on a flock of Noise.
• Hibiki's MEGA Megaton Punch to the Fortress Noise in episode 9.
• Episode 10. Two words. Megadeth Quartet!
• Episode 11 is another Genjuro awesome, owning Phine in combat until she's forced to use Ryoko's voice to distract him and stab him on the chest... which he survived.
  • While he whoops on her, Phine demands to know how a regular guy can take on a Gear user. G-Man's response?

Genjuro: "I eat, watch movies and sleep. A True Man knows nothing else!"

• • He manages to damage Phine's Nehushtan armor even when his punch missed. That's right, his punch had so much force he didn't even need a direct hit to cause damage. How doesn't it hurt him? Because of the above quote, that's why!
  • Chris countering Kadingir with her Twin Satellite Buster Rifle Moonlight Butterfly attack -- she took, matched and cancelled out an ion cannon designed to destroy the moon. Sadly, it doesn't seem likely that she survived the act. ;_;
• Episode 12. SYMPHOGEAR!
• Episode 13. All the girls use the fully-powered up version of their weapons: Heavenrend grows to the length of a skyscraper, Hibiki's gauntlets get their "charge-lines".... that extend for several hundred meters, and Ichii-bal's Mega Deth Quartet gains a battleship's worth of cruise missiles.
  • The reasons their weapons gain this awesome supercharge? To destroy a chunk of the FUCKING MOON!
