* In "Rockford's Ambition", Golgo takes on the Rockford family, rumored in-universe to be the richest family in the world. Golgo turns down David Rockford's attempt at hiring him full-time as an enforcer. In retaliation, Rockford freezes his assets and attempts to run Golgo into the ground. When Golgo accepts a contract to kill Rockford, the latter decides to call on the one man who may be able to stop the hit: the President of the United States (implied to be UsefulNotes/BarackObama in the anime; in the manga it's UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan). The president ''personally'' warns Golgo that he may suffer the wrath of the US government if he follows up on the hit. [[Anime/Golgo13 And we all know what happened the last time that happened]]. Golgo's reaction? [[TheUnfettered Giving a big middle finger by delivering a headshot to Rockford.]]

** Also of note is a few stories later the Rockfords strike back and develop an incredibly complex plan to kill Golgo and hire their own man to do the job. Golgo beats them AGAIN, and they haven't tried anything else since.

*** Also noteworthy: Golgo's eyes show nothing of their usual hardness as he kills Queen Bee, instead looking notable ''sad''. When Queen Bee reveals she has hired Golgo to assassinate Thomas Walham and his associates as she dies, Golgo promises over her dead body that it WILL get done. As Waltham and his associates are cruising on a yatch, Golgo, from the shore, kills all of them in 30 seconds. Three shoots, three kills. '''Badass.'''
