This page contains unmarked spoilers.


  • Char's rallying speech to his Neo-Zeon forces at the Sweetwater colony, invigorating his troops and their goal of Colony Dropping Axis onto Earth.
  • The ending, given its definitive conclusion: after defeating Char in mobile suit combat, Amuro tries to push back the Colony Drop Char was planning throughout the entire movie, with the Nu Gundam physically. Although this would be a suitable moment for Amuro, it's moreso for the franchise's Mooks. As Amuro struggles to push back the Axis asteroid, which would send the Earth into a new ice age, the rank and file soldiers from both Londo Bell and Neo Zeon charge in and help push it back, despite Amuro's pleas for them to go and save themselves, due to the fact that atmospheric re-entry would destroy their respective mobile suits, yet they gladly continue pushing it anyways as soldiers from both sides sacrifice themselves to save the Earth, even as they explode left and right.
  • The second time Amuro faces Neo Zeon Ace Pilot Gyunei Guss, except it's now a fair fight with no hostages and Amuro takes him out with barely breaking a stride. Letting go of the Nu Gundam's shield in the middle of a smoke cloud, then flanking Gyunei for a perfectly well-placed shot is just one of the clever moves Amuro is known for.
  • An earlier one in the film: while chasing after Char who's on horseback, Amuro leaps from a pursuing car to tackle Char to the ground and engage in a brief scuffle.
  • Amuro pulls off a nice one when he MacGyvers his way against Char: after leaving the Nu Gundam to try to speed up the dismantling of Axis from the inside, he stumbles across an ammunition room. In the span of time it takes Char to enter Axis, he sets up multiple radios throughout Axis, which allows him to hear Char's approach and attempt to remotely blow him up with a well-positioned rocket launcher. The plan fails, but it's incredible the lengths that Amuro will go to end his arch-rival.
