History Awesome / Mazinger

* ''Manga/ShinMazingerZero'', chapter 7, Sayaka [[spoiler: destroys ''three'' mechanical beasts, and what makes it especially awesome is that 1) These same mechanical beasts had been giving Kouji major trouble 2) They're the ones from the anime, in particular, the ones from the ep where they were attacking Japan in three locations, and she ended up the DamselInDistress. Also a CrowningMomentOfFunny due to the reason as to ''why'' Sayaka is so pissed off and competent.]]

* Despite being the ButtMonkey of many jokes and pranks, Boss and the Boss Borot ends up getting plenty of Crowning Moments, especially in the later series. In ''Mazinkaiser'', he battles Dr. Hell's Machine Monsters by himself, giving time for Kouji to get into Mazinkaiser before being destroyed. In ''Shitou!! Ankouku Daishogun'', he ''beats a Mikine General with a chain'' and reveals he hid Kaiser Pilder inside the Borot for safe keeping! And in ''ShinMazinger'', when Kouji prepares for the 100 Rapid Rocket Punch, he hovers the head of Boss Borot over the wreckage that Mazinger-Z's stuck in and pulls it out with a giant magnet so Kouji can finish the fight!

* In ''Anime/ShinMazinger'' episode 3, Baron Ashura is so pissed by the appearance of Mazinger Z that he runs across water, jumps hundreds of feet through the air and then ''dropkicks it in the face.'' This is followed by a [[GGundam Master Asia]] style beatdown of Z and Aphrodai A with just his/her BARE HANDS.

* In the original ''MazingerZ'': Kouji, unable to fly at that point in the series, pursues a flying monster by grabbing Aphrodai A's ''breast missiles'' and using them to fly. Now that's manly.

* In ''ShinMazingerZero'', Kouji takes the RocketPunch to a whole new level by RIPPING HIS OWN ARM OFF and throwing it at the enemy, fist still clenched. It busts a hole right through them.
* In ''ShinMazinger'' episode 3, Baron Ashura is so pissed by the appearance of Mazinger Z that he runs across water, jumps hundreds of feet through the air and then ''dropkicks it in the face.'' This is followed by a [[GGundam Master Asia]] style beatdown of Z and Aphrodai A with just his/her BARE HANDS.
* Also in ''ShinMazinger'', Juzo snaps Kouji out of a HeroicBSOD by ''surfing a RocketPunch'' through the air and using it to punch a hole through the enemy robot that had Kouji pinned down, just so he could access Z's cockpit.
* In ''ShinMazinger'' episode 5, Sayaka throwing herself and Aphrodai A into Mazinger Z's [[ChestBlaster Breast Fire]] to deliver a CooldownHug to Kouji.

* Perhaps most memorably of all, in the last five minutes of the series [[spoiler: Baron Ashura, after a whole series of being mocked and failing and being trodden on, succeeds in screwing over the entire cast with a brilliant XanatosGambit. Even though it might spell doom for the protagonists, most fans consider it a truly awesome moment.]]
