Awesome / Giant Robo

• More like a Crowning Series of Awesome, but Robo's entrance is particularly awesome.
• In the second episode, Chief Chuujou is preparing to evacuate, then self-destruct the base, while he battles the two invaders. But he hears a voice asking him to wait - Issei and Youshi are on their way! They can't quite get there in time, but make up for it by (quickly!) declaring to each other that they'll stop the Magnificent Ten, and do so with magic. ...While "NO MERCY OF THE BUDDHA FOR THE WICKED" appears on the screen in brush-written kanji. All while "Rush! Issei and Youshi!" (an Eastern-style arrangement of "How The West Was Won") plays in the background.
• Chief... no, "Silent Chuujou" of the Heavenly Nine stands up to the Monster Sphere at the end of episode 6. He takes a few practice punches, actually forcing it back for a bit and rockets up to it, intending to use his ability the Big Bang Punch ( a double-edged blade technique ) while feeling guilty about not being able to do anything up until now, even knowing he is on his attack while powerful is a death sentence. Even after he stops the attack at the last moment due to Ginrei's pleas, the miss is still enough to rock the entire Monster Sphere.
• The whole of Episode 7. Starting at about the point where Daisaku reaffirms his belief in his father and takes off towards a faraway Giant Robo. EVERY living Interpol character (and a couple of dead ones) help him get there. A couple of Not Quite Dead guys even show up. We learn that Robo carries enough ordnance to level a city. Most importantly: Dr. Von Fogler was a good guy all along, and when the three tubes are put together, they purge a dangerous substance caused by the Shizuma drives from the atmosphere and save the world.
  • Alberto revealing himself to be alive and hiding on Giant Robo since Genya tried to kill him several episodes ago and using all of his power to help Robo bypass the power of the Monster Sphere.
• Big. Bang. Punch. The several-hundred-foot-tall, armed to the teeth Eye of Vogler floats over a hill and is greeted by Chief Chujo, by himself, on foot, who is about to beat it down with his bare fists.
• Shockwave Alberto jumps out of Giant Robo before it's engulfed by the Eye of Voglers's energy blast and deflects it with a shockwave. After giving a badass speech and lighting his cigar on the energy blast he absorbs all of the Eye of Vogler's energy, causing its shields to drop and the machine to collapse.
• Nearly every living Expert of Justice gets one as they help Daisaku charge to Giant Robo.
• Giant Robo blasting out and pushing the Eye of Vogler back using cables to help power it even further.
• Ginrei using her powers to move all of Ryonzanpaku to St. Abbe so the Experts of Justice can defeat the Eye of Vogler.
• Kenpu Clan's introduction which sees them coming out of the river to attack the defenders of Ryonzanpaku
• Koumei telling the leaders of the Magnificent Ten to shut up, and kneel before their leader of Big Fire.
• The leaders of the Magnificent Ten easily escape, and remind Koumei that they could have easily escaped earlier but didn't because Big Fire's bodyguards where helping Koumei.
• Taisou giving his life so that the rest could escape by keeping the net containing the Eye of Vogler from destroying Shanghai.

• The Giant Robo Tokusatsu has had its fair share of awesome moments too.
  • Giant Robo's battle with the sea monster Dracolon in episode 1. Rubber suit cheese at its finest. This fight in particular was included in the Voyage into Space compilation film.
  • Giant Robo's fight with Ligon-Tyrox in episode 4. One of the more physical battles in the series. You know shit is about to go down when Robo enters his battle stance.
  • Dr. Botanus being chased by Unicorn through a cemetery in episode 9. Doubles as a funny moment due to the exaggerated performance of the dub actors.
  • The ultra violent fight between Giant Robo and GR-2/Torozon in episode 19 is pretty spectacular to watch, and ends with Giant Robo ripping apart GR-2. It's a surprisingly realistic and sudden fight scene in a show that otherwise had relatively tame kaiju battles.
  • YMMV, since could also be seen as an Ass Pull, but the way Giant Robo defeating Drakulon the Space Vampire by blasting him with a flaming crucifix is pretty awesome to see.
  • As much of a Tear Jerker moment as it is an Awesome Moment, Giant Robo's Heroic Sacrifice in the finale is very powerful. To stop Emperor Guillotine from destroying Earth, Giant Robo disobeys Johnny's orders to surrender and flies off into space with the Gargoyle Commander and flying far enough to detonate him and Guillotine into a meteor all to protect his friends. There is a clear reason why this ending got homaged by The Iron Giant.
• Despite being an otherwise maligned series, GR Giant Robo had a few awesome moments of its own. Most notably in the finale where Daisaku and Giant Robo dispatch the Earth destroying robot GR-0 by transforming Robo's hand into a BFG and blast GR-0 into oblivion.
