Awesome / Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz

Go To

  • Heero's "No More Holding Back" Speech in Endless Waltz is pretty important character-wise, but it intersects with the CMoA when, late in the movie, we see that it worked, and on Chang Wu Fei of all people.
    • Also qualifies as a Tear Jerker, since it features his genuine guilt upon having killed the girl and her dog. "How many times...? How many times will I have to kill that little girl and her dog again?
  • The beginning of Heero's plan to escape from L3 X-18999:
  • Both Heero and Relena got their moments near the end of the film, to wit:
  • Rich Bitch Dorothy Catalonia shows how much she's grown in the past year by going to the streets and using precision jibes to make the complacent civilians realize exactly what Relena was trying to tell them.
    Civilian: Hey lady, you're talking to the man who shot down five mobile dolls in the last war!
    Dorothy: "Man"? The only men I know are either dead and buried, or the ones fighting out there! (points at a giant TV which shows the Gundams in combat)
  • The entire final battle, wherein Zechs, Noin, Trowa, Duo, and Quatre mop the floor with the Serpent suits without killing a single enemy pilot. Highlights include:
    • Heero's actions mentioned above.
    • Quatre's Big Damn Heroes moment when he beheads 2 Serpent suits that are attacking Zechs and Noin.
    • Trowa unleashing every missile the Heavyarms Custom is carrying, and not causing a single fatality. Especially impressive when compared to the others, who at least have melee weapons and/or semi-automatic weapons for their suits. Gatling guns and explosives aren't exactly known for being precision instruments.
    • Zechs using his whip to drag a Serpent suit down a street.
      • The real notable thing is how he is. He knows what'll happen if Mariemaia comes to power, and he is not happy one bit.
    • One of the Serpent pilots manages to shatter Quatre's blade, something that didn't happen in the entire series.
    • Also remember one thing: this is the heroes intentionally trying not to kill anyone. In other words, as badass as they are throughout this, they were holding back! And they even mention that had they not been trying to keep the other side's pilots alive, they would have mopped the floor with the entire army in under an hour, despite being outnumbered by a factor of more than fifty to one.
    • While Noin's suit is heavily customized, it is still just an out-dated mass production model. Despite that, she is more than capable of keeping up with the Gundams and the final Tallgeese model.
  • The moment he gets words that Operation Meteor had been derailed, Zechs doesn't hesitate to destroy MO 3, which it thousands of times bigger than his suit, with a single shot from his buster cannon.
