Domon and Georgeinvoking a Gundam Fight to let the crew safe from being questioned by the Federation if they ever get questioned later while saving Maria from the corrupt Federation officers attacking them.
Master Asia's own master plan to lift humanity's spirits up from the depression of the era cumulates in his having a truly legendary rematch with Domon, using the awesome sight of the Master Gundam and the God Gundam having a Gundam Fight to ignite mankind's passion.
During a cutscene, Tetsuya, Guy and the Magic Knights found themselves surrounded by Golems while on foot. The Magic Knights unleashed their spells to take out some Golems, while Guy and Tetsuya took out another group. It looked like another normal fanfare, but to wit, the Golems are something bigger than normal humans, and at least the fledging Magic Knights required either sword or sorcery to combat it. Guy is a cyborg so he had physical enhancements. Tetsuya? Just your typical normal human, albeit one with plenty of combat experience, without his Humongous Mecha. He still wiped out some of those Golems all the same, with nothing but his own on-foot skill. Another day of SRW showcasing how badass Tetsuya is.
Van ends up firing up the crowd when he summons Dann out of nowhere in the arena to help out Chirico and Shako in their tournament.
After seeing the Company send out a young boy, Paul, to fight for their sake, Hikaru became dead-set on making him stop fighting, and does not relent on saving him after he ended up Brainwashed and Crazy and the company also attracted a swarm of the STMC that even temporarily shook Guy'sbravery.When Paul recovered, he ended up being scared shitless. While also personally scared, Hikaru mustered all of her courage, covers for him and tells him that if he's a man, he should know to retreat. This bout of bravery inspired Noriko to also take hit for Hikaru, even if she's just with a lowly RX, prompting Jung to deploy and defend the base with Hikaru... until Noriko returned with the Gunbuster in tow and getting the encouragement from Coach Ohta and Kazumi to show the result of her hard work and guts. The result: Two Top squadron pilots with the knowledge to kick STMC asses, one Magic Knight that decided to also believe in hard work and guts and got the approval from her Rune God to use a new spell… all fired up and ready to kick ass. This entire sticks in J's mind for the rest of the game, such that when the plot finally gets around to the Z-Master fight, J is inspired by his memory of Noriko and Hikaru to perform his own heroic sacrifice to save the rest of the T3 from the explosive Power running wild after the destruction of the Z-Master using his ES Missiles… and Noriko ends up helping him get away from the explosion alive, too. This is one of the big plot points that shows that SRW T puts the T into Teamwork.
Akatsuki Nagare is a man of dubious morality that works more on money and almost no one trusts him. But when he personally led his Nergal Corporation men to force the Martian Successors under Haruki Kusakabe to surrender, we get this gem when one of Kusakabe's men declared that they're all fighting for justice, Akatsuki shows what happens when his Grey-and-Gray Morality views works in favor of the heroes (unlike in the original anime series) and shuts him up with this piece:
You stay the hell out of my revenge. (puts up his 'super angry' face usually reserved for the likes of The Claw) And don't you DARE talk about my love for Elena, you wrinkled old hag in an ugly dress!!
Ryoma also gets a good deal. He basically tells Debonair, who feeds on fear, to start learning to fear the Getter and him.
Due to Van losing the satellite that holds Dann, it now carries injuries and has to dock in the Arcadia instead of teleporting away to heal for the next encounter. Since he's tied to Dann, Van becomes deathly ill. Tochiro rallies together all the mechanics and scientists together to try to make sense of this ancient but superior technology to repair it. During the map battle Emeraldas shows up with a massive satellite factory, the titular Endless Orbit SSX, and Tochiro sends every bit of information with Van and Dann in hopes they did enough. During all this chaos Michael and Fasalina show up and start to reveal the Claw's master plan. When Michael see's Tochiro's plan he dismisses it, being pessimistic and insisting the Golden Age could never come back, it won't work. Tochiro asks how he knows it won't work which Michael stutters and can't answer. Tochiro's belief in hard work and optimism counter's Michael's cynicism and soon enough Van and Dann return to the map ready to join in the butt kicking.
While we may not be getting the famed "Sekiha Love-Love Tenkyoken", we do get an equally epicsubstitute, in which while Domon launches one Sekiha Tenkyoken to save Rain from the Devil Gundam, he recites all those epic Love Confession from the original anime throughout the Sekiha Tenkyoken battle animation.
The build-up to that is also equally awesome. Domon at first thought that the only way to save Rain was to initiate a suicide attack onto the Devil Gundam. All of the sudden, Van gets into the two and scolds Domon for not being himself, revealing that Domon's over the top Love Confession in the 13th Gundam Fight and the miracle that came from it were big inspirations for him and he used to regret that he could have saved Elena if he was just a bit like Domon. Then he resigns that if Domon is not going to listen and be the man that made miracle out of love, might as well just go sit in the sidelines and watch him die. Cue members of the T3 giving him all kinds of encouragement to show them the miracle and power of love and the above scene.
GUN×SWORDfinalbattle. Van gets 300 morale to himself when fighting against The Claw. Asskicking ensues.
The IF route version of the Mazinger Z: Infinity which beautifully combined its mythos with Magic Knight Rayearth: Dr. Hell managed to put Kouji into a serious Heroic BSoD, and then transported the T3 into Cephiro and temporarily twisting it to the ruined version of itself when Debonair was around to initiate his Goragon; all while explaining that Mazinger Infinity was built based on the Rune Gods for their power to disrupt the natural order. Rayearth himself confirms this, but assures Hikaru that in the end, their power depends on their user, it can still be used for good and evil (chiming with the Arc Words of the Mazinger franchise: "With Mazinger, you can become God or Devil"). It all sounded good, but Kouji is still down in the dumps and this, in effect, brought down the T3's spirit, considering this is Kouji, the granddaddy of Super Robot pilot heroes that everyone looked up into. The Magic Knights refused to stand down, and they, especially Hikaru, pleaded earnestly for Kouji to get his spirit back, and everyone starts cheering for Kouji once again. After seeing all that, Kouji starts regaining his spirit and commends on how much Hikaru has grown since their first meeting in Tokyo Tower. And from that, Dr. Hell's plan of transporting everyone in Cephiro started to unravel: Cephiro is a land where willpower trumps over all, and Hikaru has already distributed the Pillar power to the people, so what happens when it affects a super Hot-Blooded guy with Heroic Spirit aplenty like Kouji?? It enables Lisa to access the full power of infinite possibilities without being in the multiverse dimension (where the battle took place in the Normal Route), and Kouji launches the Super Photon Power Rocket Punch right to Dr. Hell's face, causing him to recognize his misstep and teleports everyone else back to to the real world.
In the very last level of the normal route the final Big Bad is revealed: it's Dyma Goldwin who went into hiding and prepared a massive counterattack, fortress and mecha all for the sake of being dramatic. Not only that but he plans to basically do what the UND did: invade and conquer the galaxy. He's so sure that people will love him no matter what that he has had the battle broadcast on TV and the internet and he's sure people have gathered to cheer him on. Cue a reality check from people booing him for fighting T3 and it culminates in Ruri giving him a savage verbal beat down, she sums it up as him being an unemployed man suffering a mid-life crisis. It's so devastating that his morale drops to nothing and everyone else is reinvigorated. Ruri even modestly insists that it was more the people tearing him down than herself. Savage.

In "Decade-Long Trio", there are a few moments from the veterans themselves. Amuro, Koji, and Ryomapull off a much better Jetstream Attack against Zeon remnants. And when Koji's Scrander was taken down by a surprise attack, Amuro makes the Nu Gundam jump up really high in the air and distract the flying Kikaiju while Musashi uses his Daisetsuzan Oroshi on Koji to fling Mazinger Z up in the air and let Koji use a Rocket Punch.
to let the crew safe from being questioned by the Federation if they ever get questioned later while saving Maria from the corrupt Federation officers attacking them.
