Awesome / Galaxy Express 999

• Tetsuro loses his mother to a human-hunting cyborg Count, and then nearly dies in the freezing snow. What does he do once he wakes up in Maetel's house? He takes her gun, finds his mansion, and blasts away at the Count and his guests. When the Count begs for mercy by leaving his brain preserved, Tetsuro takes the butt of his gun and drives it right into the Count's brain. Tetsuro then sets the mansion on fire.
  • And then the police show up...followed by Maetel on a dogsled, and she drives Tetsuro out while shaking off the cops!
• Planet Prometheum's endless frozen seas filled with the cast-off organic bodies of people who have turned themselves into machine-humans. That noise you just heard? Yeah. That was James Cameron's and Ridley Scott's heads exploding.
• In the first movie, Captain Harlock's first appearance on Heavy Meldar was made of Awesome. First he saved Tetsuro from a few machine men by overpowering one bare-handed and terrifying the others into submission, then killed the overpowered one by forcing him to drink milk. Yes, Harlock can kill robots with milk...
  • Then we have his second appearance, attacking the Machine Empire's capital planet... And to hold off him and the Arcadia it takes the entire planetary garrison. That then starts to collapse the moment Emeraldas shows up to help, as those two together are invincible.
