This trope (in case the multiple uses of the word "awesome" as if it has an objective meaning didn't tip you off) is by its very nature almost completely irrational and often used for comedy.

If this is a comedy trope, can someone explain why we're using it to describe serious techniques like Conqueror's Haki in One Piece?

Well, going by just the bit you quoted, "often" leaves quite the space for, you know, non-comedic uses.

I feel like this is really two tropes in one, 1) "sheer merit as a substitute for actually taking action," as in the real life examples, and "awesomeness as a tangible force/ physical stat," as in the page quote, image, and image caption.

It should have been left pure awesomeness

Pure Awesomeness was renamed to Awesomeness Is a Force per TRS.

How about swapping the Kung Fu Panda pic for one of Flynn appearing in the End Of Line Club?

He doesn't even do anything - he just kneels in the center of the room and the ongoing curbstomp reverses!

My proposal for a tagline: God Mode: Activated

Nah. Kung Fu Panda is the trope namer, makes the most sense for that series to have the image. Besides, to someone not having seen the Tron remake (such as myself), the proposed pic is going to look very underwhelming and confusing. 'Pure awesomeness? It's just a guy kneeling down.' It's like an in-joke, too obscure imo.

I don't get it. What's the actual definition? What causes what by just existing? The examples seem to be all over the place.

What's the purpose of this trope ?

I think this is supposed to be the physical, in-work manifestation of Rule of Cool. Let me hack the description a little bit and see if it makes more sense.

See you in the discussion pages.

I'm confused here. It seems like this trope needs a lot of work, if not outright deletion.

The blank page was the result of a glitch. Fixed now.
