History Awesome / Cyborg009

* 004's battle with the robot replica is a bit darker in the original manga story "The Bizarre Machine", with the fake 004 brutally crushing the nest of baby birds beneath his foot, then murdering their mother. But in the end, the real 004 manages to get the upper hand over his replica due to that distraction, and shoots it full of bullets, remarking that his lingering humanity and "weakness" is what proved him to be stronger than the robot.

* For years, after its airing on Toonami, it was believed that the show would never get a complete DVD release. The few [=DVDs=] that were available only had a few episodes, and the last five episodes never aired on TV. Like ''Manga/SailorMoon'' before it, many believed this show would be trapped in licensing limbo. Then, a miracle happened: At Otakon 2017, Creator/DiscotekMedia announced that they licensed it and were planning on releasing the entire series, missing five episodes included, on DVD and Blu-Ray. Not only that, Anime News Network founder Justin Sevakis did everything he could to remaster what footage he could find of the dub and various others and make it look as good as possible, since the original master tapes for the dub were in poor condition. The series would be officially released on June 25th, 2019, and needless to say, many rejoiced.

* A Black Ghost example where in episode ''Friend'' a blind Black Ghost assassin manages to strike and kill 0013 with his cane sword by honing in on the sounds he generated while in Acceleration Mode despite 0013 being faster than 009 and moving at light speeds. Certainly a supremely badass moment for a minor character.

* When 004 battles a robot replica of himself, they fight so intensely that the difference can't be seen between the two -- but when the robot knocks down an innocent bird's nest in one of its attempts on 004's life, 004 catches the nest and shields both mother bird and babies with his own body, proving that he is a human and not a machine. Also a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming (the manga equivalent is a little more bittersweet).

* In the 2001 anime episode "Frozen Time", despite him nearly [[GoMadFromTheIsolation Going Mad From The Isolation]] because of [[TimeStop his predicament]], 009 makes use of it to single-handedly prevent a truck's explosion near Chang's restaurant from killing bystanders, including a little girl 007 attempted to save. This also doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* The 2001 adaptation arguably has the ''best'' fight scenes of all the Cyborg 009 media.
** Seriously, from the get-go in episode one, you KNOW it's going to be an awesome series from the FIGHTS ALONE!
* The "Attack of the Gods" arc with the [[spoiler:fake Greek gods]] was totally awesome.
* 009 vs 0010 and [[spoiler:0010]]!

* 003 gets hers when she almost singlehandedly hijacks a plane to stop some mafia groups from releasing a deadly virus in Cairo. Defeating several guards without spilling a single drop of blood and disarming the bomb on her own, without any guidance from Gilmore? A-we-so-me.
* GB aka 007 gets a massive one when he uses his powers [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever grow MANY times his size]] to protect himself, 006 and 009 from a stampede of cybernatically-enhanced animals. It's both awesome and hilarious thanks to him goiung LargeHam ''and'' BoisterousBruiser, too.
