History Awesome / KamenRiderGaim

** Bonus points for when Gaim is shown slashing a monster and then dancing with his team like nothing has happened. The monster, as we saw, is [[spoiler: Yuuya]], which just adds to the power of the sequence.

* #5: Kouta transforming again and punching the stage apart to help Mitsuzane with his fight against Baron and his 2 Invess.

** Baron and Gaim both using their finishers together to take out the Invess.

** Micchy and Kaito fighting Invess without transforming.
** Before Micchy and Kaito, Kouta takes on 2 Invess at the same time and only getting hit ONCE. ONCE. He's really growing isn't he.
*** Even better, Kouta actually uses the usually AwesomeYetImpractical Henshin poses to DODGE Invess attacks!

** The sequence starting with the Invess invasion of the base camp, ending with an epic battle in the sky above Yggdrasil's HQ.

** He even took on 3 Invess (Kamakiri, Komori and Shika) that he fought before at the same time.

** [[spoiler: After watching Zangetsu Shin's betrayal, Kouta goes ballistic in Kachidoki Arms and proceeds to beat down a Kamikiri Invess. '''Without using any weapons.''']]

* #30: [[spoiler: As the Yagi Invess was attacking and Kouta seemed to struggle with it, Jiro steps up to the plate by fighting it off with a very simplistic yet effective fighting style.]]

** [[spoiler: The entire fight of Kouta and Jiro vs. the Yagi Invess and Ryoma-Hakaider. What started as a losing fight almost immediately turned around once Jiro rebooted and transformed into Kikaider.]]

*** [[spoiler: The end of the fight needs its own mention as Jiro sets up an opening so Kouta could fire a Kachidoki Charge from the DJ Gun, which Jiro then proceeds to ''KICK'' whilst adding some more power into the ball, delivering a satisfying elimination of the Yagi Invess.]]

** All the remaining Riders save Kouta, Sengoku, Micchy, and Takatora fighting off the Invess army. The Riders in Gaim have never really actually fought as a team before, but when they do they are ''damn good''.

*** [[spoiler: Oren and Jonouchi both making their entrances via performing Rider Kicks on Invess, whilst untransformed!]]

* #34: [[spoiler: Zack, Oren, and Jonouchi arrive on scene during an Invess kidnapping, and Jonouchi gets to use the Suika Lockseed.]]
** [[spoiler: It seems the orange doesn't fall far from the tree, as we learn that Kota's ChronicHeroSyndrome is shared with his sister, who attacks an Invess despite having no Rider powers to prevent it from escaping with the child she met a few episodes ago.]]

** [[spoiler: Despite the fact that this moment was somewhat spoiled in the trailer, the fact that Oren and Jonouchi managed to beat down the Invess blocking the group's path back in #39 and catch up quickly enough to help out Kaito by stalling out Mitsuzane to allow Kaito to catch up to Kouta.]]

* #45: [[spoiler: The preview shows Kouta summoning an army of Invess of his own to fight Kaito's. They both break out EVERYTHING they have to fight each other. They start off in their original forms, move to their bikes, then the Dandeliners, then they bring out their Jimber Lemon Arms and Mango Arms and finally ends with Lord Baron charging Kachidoki Arms while both scream out the other's name.]]

** [[spoiler: How Kouta gets around his destiny - upon being given the Forbidden Fruit and transforming into the Man of the Beginning, he chooses not to destroy Earth to create a new world, instead using his power to open a crack to a desolate planet and send all the Invess and Helheim plants through it so he and Mai can create a new world in peace. When challenged that doing so is more difficult than just taking Earth, Kouta replies that with his new power, he has no reason to fear the darkness. TakeAThirdOption at its best.]]

** [[spoiler: When Roshuo decides to fight Kouta and Kaito in Helheim, he quickly demonstrates that all of his {{Final Boss}} powers took merely a fraction of the Fruit of Knowledge's full power and is still capable of curb stomping the two Riders into the dirt [[HandicappedBadass despite the fact he left the rest of the Fruit of Knowledge's power within]] [[MacguffinGirl Mai]].]]

** Kaito channeling his inner [[YuGiOh Seto Kaiba]] as he cuts through a TV with a simple card.

** [[spoiler: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis DOUBLE. RIDER. KICK.]] An epic way to end the season.]]

** You know the highlight of the episode is awesome when one of the ''villains'' states that they should just sit back and enjoy the epicness.

* #16: [[spoiler:The debut of Kamen Rider Gaim Jinba Lemon Arms. Damn, just LOOK at it!]]

** Jinba Lemon Arms, clearly puts Gaim on equal footing with the Energy Riders powerwise. His new [[FinishingMove finisher]] has him utilize both Locks in a style not unlike one of [[KamenRiderDecade Decade's Dimension Finishers.]]

* #17: Kouta kicking Bravo's ass in Jinba Lemon Arms, defeating him in one blow. Complete with a new song that, like all the others, is AwesomeMusic.

* #18: Showing just how well his constant fighting has trained him, Kouta delivers a [[CurbstompBattle one sided ass-kicking]] to Bravo once he transforms into Jinba Lemon Arms, that manages to top the previous one. While even in his default Arms, he's able to keep Oren away from the Beat Rider teams - this really shows how far he's come as a fighter (it's one thing to win with a SuperMode against a guy who lacks one. Being able to hold him off in plain ol' Orange Arms now? That's not the tech, it's ''Kouta.'') Also, in one attack, Kouta WILL make you say "In your face, Pierre!"

* The preview to #19 shows we're going to have Gaim Jinba Lemon Arms vs. Zangetsu Shin. This is going to be cool.

** Before the aforementioned CurbStompBattle, Kouta executed a series of awesome [[http://i.imgur.com/2gaYYYW.gif back flips]] to avoid Duke's volley of energy arrows and it culminates in his transforming to Jinba Lemon Arms practically upside down in the air.

* In #21, [[spoiler:Sid tries to break Kouta even further by telling him that the rings of Yggdrasil tower were meant to nuke Zawame City in the event that it does become overrun by Inves. Despite the truth of Helheim forest eating away at his resolve, Kouta gathers enough resolve to not only fight back against Sid, but also ultimately defeat him in Jinba Lemon Arms AND take Sid's Cherry Energy Lockseed.]]

** Case in point, Kouta came looking for Takatora after learning Project Ark was one of the things Takatora approved in a bid for answers. [[spoiler:In this fight against him, he managed to get in multiple hits (a kick and at least 4 slashes with the Sonic Arrow) and actually knocking the white Armored Rider to the ground, which is a giant leap from being unable to land a single hit despite being in Jinba Lemon Arms.]]

** For Jinba Cherry's first appearance, Kouta discovers that he is able to move at SuperSpeed, which helps him defeat several Inves that were trying to escape a newfound crack in Helheim.

* [[spoiler: The [[Series/ResshaSentaiTokkyuger ToQGer]] and Gaim Spring Special brought some lighthearted moments and some definite funny moments, but it seems the most noteworthy moments happened at the end of the episode:]]
** [[spoiler: When it seemed like the Badan Mooks were going to overwhelm Kouta, Kaito, Micchy, and Right, the [[Series/ResshaSentaiTokkyuger ToQGers]] [[BigDamnHeroes appear to help Right out and even up the odds]].]]
** [[spoiler: Kamen Rider Fifteen’s BigDamnVillains Moment to save the Mogura-Roid, showing off his eerie and dark power by easily beating down the [[Series/ResshaSentaiTokkyuger ToQGers]].]]
** [[spoiler: Following the above, three of the Showa Riders (#1, #2, and V3) appear to handle Fifteen as the [[Series/ResshaSentaiTokkyuger ToQGers]] finish off Mogura-Roid.]]
** [[spoiler: When we cut back to Kouta’s fight against the Mogura-Roid, he makes short work of the Badan general once he switches to Kachidoki Arms and shows off the DJ Gun's Daiken Mode, with the Kachidoki Charge stating that its power is immeasurable!]] Whenever Gaim uses the Musou Saber it counts up to 1000, implying that the resulting attack is that many times stronger than a Squash, Au Lait, or Sparking finisher. The DJ Gun in Daiken mode begins by counting out ''one ten hundred and ten thousand trillion'' before giving up and shouting "[[ReadingsAreOffTheScale IMMEASURABLE!]]"

*** And it becomes quite clear that had Kouta not been searching for the Overlords, he could have ''easily'' extended a similar beating to Sid. Even so, knocking him onto his ass with [[HoistByhisOwnPetard Jinba Cherry]]'s speed is good enough.

** [[spoiler: Kouta once again squares off against Yoko, both fighting in their Peach Energy forms. While it later became clear that the fight was just a distraction, Kouta was not only able to mop the floor with Yoko in Jinba Peach Arms, he also made it clear he has reached a power above the Genesis Drivers when he is able to NoSell a Peach Energy finisher by changing into Kachidoki Arms and finishes her off with one Low Pitch DJ Gun blast.]]

** [[spoiler: Kouta and Kaito team up as Jinba Lemon Arms and Baron Energy Arms, fighting against Sid AND Demushuu at one point. Despite their different ideals, the two work together like a well oiled machine, pulling off a BackToBackBadasses moment.]]

** [[spoiler: While testing out the Hakaider android, Ryoma ascends to a league of power of his own, capable of easily defeating Zack and Kouta even after switching to Jinba Lemon Arms, and later even trashing Minato, some Kurokage Troopers, and even a few Suika mechs.]]

* #45: [[spoiler: The preview shows Kouta summoning an army of Invess of his own to fight Kaito's. They both break out EVERYTHING they have to fight each other. They start off in their original forms, move to their bikes, then the Dandeliners, then they bring out their Jinba Lemon Arms and Mango Arms and finally ends with Lord Baron charging Kachidoki Arms while both scream out the other's name.]]

*** Handing over the Pineapple Lock-Seed realizing that it was the only way to defeat the monster.

* #16: [[spoiler:The debut of Kamen Rider Gaim Jimber Lemon Arms. Damn, just LOOK at it!]]

** Jimber Lemon Arms, clearly puts Gaim on equal footing with the Energy Riders powerwise. His new [[FinishingMove finisher]] has him utilize both Locks in a style not unlike one of [[KamenRiderDecade Decade's Dimension Finishers.]]

* #17: Kouta kicking Bravo's ass in Jimber Lemon Arms, defeating him in one blow. Complete with a new song that, like all the others, is AwesomeMusic.

** Along with the fact that Kaito [[spoiler:using the Watermelon Arms was able to beat Sigurd. Showing that the Armored Riders aren't completely outclassed by the New Generation Riders]].

* In #21, [[spoiler:Sid tries to break Kouta even further by telling him that the rings of Yggdrasil tower were meant to nuke Zawame City in the event that it does become overrun by Inves. Despite the truth of Helheim forest eating away at his resolve, Kouta gathers enough resolve to not only fight back against Sid, but also ultimately defeat him in Jimber Lemon Arms AND take Sid's Cherry Energy Lockseed.]]

* #47: [[spoiler: When Kougane returns, Takatora (who was going to fight Kougane himself) allows Hideyasu to use the last Kurokage Trooper Sengoku Driver and Pinecone Lockseed to honor Hase's memory in battle against Kougane.]]

* The freaking OPENING was an awesome job. The song is very cool and has very strong lyrics. The images on the video just add, with the symbolism of the rider and human forms. It's amazing how well it was crafted.
** The fences are also symbolic. How they are shown (Zangetsu pointing his sword to Ryugen and Kouta's past and actual self) is awesome.
** Bonus points for when Gaim is shown slashing a monster and then dancing with his team like nothing has happened. The monster, as we saw, is [[spoiler: Yuuya]], which just adds to the power of the sequence.
* Even before the premiere ep, the "audience submissions" to ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' has Kouta's actor pull off some crazy stunts.

** [[spoiler: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis DOUBLE. RIDER. KICK.]] An epic way to end the season.]]

** Kouta and Kaito managing to counter Sid's Energy Rider power with tag team BikeFu and knock him to the ground long enough to escape. Considering how the Genesis Drivers are allegedly leagues stronger than their Sengoku Drivers, that's ''very'' impressive.

*** How does [[spoiler:Kouta]] make his BigEntrance? [[spoiler:Descending in an energy orb and ''vaporizing'' [[DynamicEntry the Lotus Kaijin in a few seconds flat]]. He then follows it up by exorcising Kougane from his host with zero effort. Kouta is ''not'' someone to mess with now!]]

*** [[spoiler: Even before that, when Kouta first appeared he simply referred to Kougane as a "loose end".]]

** [[spoiler: It should be pointed out here that, aside from Ryugen's involvement, this is a fight between [[CoolVersusAwesome Kougane, the embodiment of the Golden Fruit, and Kouta, the chosen wielder of the Golden Fruit]]. Another way of looking at it: a pretend-god versus a real PhysicalGod.]]

** [[spoiler: Before that, Takatora, Jonouchi and Ouren fight against the Invess, fully aware they don't have their Rider powers left, fully aware that they might lose or take a beating, but still fight against the monster. Once a Rider, always a Rider.]]
** [[spoiler: Mitsuzane steps up as Ryugen to fight Kougane as his first step towards atoning for his actions throughout the season.]]
*** [[spoiler: What makes it more awesome? Despite being pushed into a hard spot, Mitsuzane actually ''wins'' against Kougane, while fighting against a monster at the same time! If it weren't for the HostageSituation Kougane had, Mitsuzane wouldn't have required Kouta's help. It shows just how far Micchy has come from the dark side when, instead of sacrificing an innocent to end a foe at his mercy, he lowers his weapon instead.]]

** [[spoiler: It should be pointed out here that, aside from Ryugen's involvement, this is a fight between [[CoolVersusAwesome Kougane, the embodiment of the Forbidden Fruit, and Kouta, the chosen wielder of the Forbidden Fruit]].]]

** [[spoiler: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis DOUBLE RIDER KICK.]] An epic way to end the season.]]

** [[spoiler: Also, at one point, Kougane tries to use a LimitBreak against the duo, but Kouta just ''stops'' the attack with a wave of his hand while saying: [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech You say you're the embodiment of the Golden Fruit, but there's no gold in you]].]]

** [[spoiler: It should be pointed out here that, aside from Ryugen's involvement, this is a fight between [[CoolVersusAwesome Kougane, the embodiment of the Forbidden Fruit, and Kouta, the chosen wielder of the Forbidden Fruit]].]]

*** [[spoiler: What makes it more awesome? Despite being pushed into a hard spot, Mitsuzane actually ''wins'' against Kougane, while fighting against an invase at the same time! If it weren't for the HostageSituation Kougane had, Mitsuzane wouldn't have required Kouta's help. It shows just how far Micchy has come from the dark side when, instead of sacrificing an innocent to end a foe at his mercy, he lowers his weapon instead.]]

** [[spoiler: Kouta returns to give Mitsuzane a much-needed hand. They both transform and, while running towards Kougane, Gaim throws Ryugen his Daidaimaru while he uses his Musou Saber. During the fight, they work together like a well-oiled machine.]]

** The demonstration of [[spoiler:Kouta's new godhood. With a wave of his hand, he opens a portal to a distant, dying world (which he seemingly found with such a thought) and removes every scrap of Helheim from the world in ''seconds''. That is an ''impressive'' image to say the least.]]

** [[spoiler: Kouta defeats Kaito by breaking Kaito's sword and stabbing him with a shard of the blade, despite having been beaten right out of Kiwami Arms just moments before.]]
