History Awesome / BlackLagoon

* The Gray Foxes deserve a spot here for not only surviving all Roanapur could throw at them and more, but also being the only thing in the series [[spoiler: to hurt Roberta in significant fashion]].

** As well as his XanatosGambit used to stop the the unstoppable [[ImplacableMan Roberta's]] rampage in ''El Baile de La Muerte''.

* Hansel and Gretel themselves have many moments that would be listed on this page if the awesomeness weren't trumped by the HighOctaneNightmareFuel aspect. I mean, they're [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]] who do in fact, casually and giggling, take out a bar full of people without breaking a sweat, including some of the above-mentioned Balalaika's men (who, you recall, could fight and win World War III), and almost any other pair of people who sound ''turned on'' by the [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence idea of everyone coming to kill them]] would be on this page, not to mention their successful BatmanGambit to divert almost all of the bounty hunters...the fact that they're [[ChildSoldiers maybe ten at the oldest]] transforms the awesome into freaky, though.

* In the omake where everyone's telling ghost stories [[spoiler: Rock's]] story was the one that scared everyone. INCLUDING [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel HANSEL AND GRETEL]]. [[spoiler:[[CrowningMomentOfFunny It also]] frightened [[MagnificentBitch Balalaika]] so much that she asks [[TheDragon Boris]] to accompany her to the bathroom.]]

** There's also them taking on an entire room filled with armed gang members and winning. Shortly afterward, Gretel has a brief gunfight with Mr. Chang, with both of them emerging unharmed (unless you count the deaths of Mr. Chang's men and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking his car]].

** As well as his XanatosGambit used to stop the the unstopable [[ImplacableMan Roberta's]] rampage in ''El Baile de La Muerte''.

-> '''Sister Yolanda''':''We'll talk later! First things first...'''[[Main/DeaderThanDead we'll deal with these nonbelievers the same way we dealt with the people of Bethshemesh.]]'''.''

-> '''Sister Yolanda''': ''Eda! How many times have I told you not to drink inside the...well, this isn't the time for sermons.''

-> '''Sister Yolanda''':''Well, we'll talk about that later. First, we'll have to make these heathen scoundrels '''[[Main/DeaderThanDead the same as the Bethshemites]]'''.''

** This troper would argue that Rock got his first CrowningMomentOfAwesome in the second episode, when he comes up with the plan for torpedoing a battle helicopter mid-air -- which is then ''pulled off'', with Rock giving the helicopter the finger with a smile as the Lagoon sails on by.
-> '''Rock''': [[PrecisionFStrike You got FUCKED!]]

-> Rock: [[PrecisionFStrike You got FUCKED!]]

Rock: [[PrecisionFStrike "You got FUCKED!"]]

* [[HeroicSociopath Balalaika]] gets hers when she "deals" with Hansel. This troper first thought the couple would be another "super human terminator," but was delighted by the fact that Balalaika simply did her ShutUpHannibal to Hansel's AxCrazy talk and signaled her sniper to blow his extremities off. And watched him die. "I said [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsQjXshHEAg 'KNEEL!']]" (It's in Spanish, but you'll get the gist.) English Dub version is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ116EVYVP4&feature=related here.]]

* Revy had already been set up as a maniac GunsAkimbo DarkActionGirl early in ''BlackLagoon'' but the moment that clearly established her true level of badassness was when Dutch casually asks her to take on several boats full of heavily armed pirates. By herself. Leaping from one to the other while they're bouncing along at high speed. Rock can only stare in shocked disbelief as she wipes out the entire fleet, finishing off the last one with a grenade from an M-79 grenade launcher as it tries to get away.

** What, no mention of the fact that in Chapter 15 of the ''El Baile de La Muerte'' she fires a Barrett M-82 sniper rifle with attached grenade launcher ONE-HANDED? REPEATEDLY?!!! If that's not badass, I don't know what is.

I mean, they're [[BloodKnight Blood Knights]] who do in fact, casually and giggling, take out a bar full of people without breaking a threat, including some of the above-mentioned Balalaika's men (who, you recall, could fight and win World War III), and almost any other pair of people who sound ''turned on'' by the [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence idea of everyone coming to kill them]] would be on this page, not to mention their successful BatmanGambit to divert almost all of the bounty hunters...the fact that they're [[ChildSoldiers maybe ten at the oldest]] transforms the awesome into freaky, though.

**** Now, now, we can't forget about Miss Fabiola Iglesias herself. She may not be on Roberta's level, but when she gets out of being held down by boot-knifing a guy in the balls, then cleaning out the bar in the same manner Roberta did before casually pulling a grenade launcher out the [[HammerSpace back of her dress]] (and even Revy had to ask "the FUCK is that?!" at this point) and blowing the reinforcements and their .50 caliber machine gun to hell. Not bad considering this was her FIRST real battle.

-> '''Revy:''' ''You're a rocket man, baby!''

*** This is followed by Dutch's great line: "Amen. Hallelujah. Peanut butter." Both a Crowning Moment of Awesome and a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

* Revy killing Torch.
