History Awesome / MobileSuitGundamUnicorn

[[caption-width-right:350:"Let's see what this new Gundam can do."\\
And it delivered us ''the'' clash between an AceCustom and a [[ArtifactOfDoom Gundam]] of the decade.]]

** This troper feels that this scene counts as a [=CMoA=] for said third character, Marida Cruz, as after her two comrades are incapacitated, she picks up the glasses of the one whose nose is broken, hops onto his back, THEN slides his glasses back onto his nose without even looking, and jumps off of him.

* On a meta level Banagher managing to somewhat rebut the Zeon propaganda Tikva spouts. More particularly he points out Operation British and asks if the people in the colony asked to die for some glorious cause. Given the whitewashing of Zeon's crimes in recent years that's particularly impressive.

* Even Syam Vist manages one, when he manages to drive off Full Frontal with hidden turrets that are controlled by his mind.

[[AC:Episode EX]]
* More of a meta example, but the ''One Hundred Years of Solitude'' miniepisode manages to make what amounts to a narrated clip show awesome. It not only manages to tie in the events of ''Unicorn'' to the rest of the Universal Century, but also mirrors the plot of the titular novel. That the narrator turns out to be the ghost of Cardeas Vist probably helps as well.

[[caption-width-right:350:''The'' clash between a Gundam and an AceCustom Zeon suit of the decade.]]

** Clarification: Banagher (who has just acquired the Unicorn from [[spoiler:his father]]) shows up, giving Marida [[OhCrap a look of sheer terror.]] It then dives at the Khsatriya, which up to this point had done quite well for itself, and is easily three times Unicorn's mass. It tackles the Khsatriya, grabs the right hand which had just drawn a beam saber, and CRUSHES THE HAND. It hits full thrusters, forcing Marida to eat airbag, and slams it out of the colony. Once a moment's opening comes up, Marida sends EVERY SINGLE BIT SHE HAS (24 total) to kill this Gundam before it can do anything else. Unicorn responds by going into Newtype-Destroyer mode, creating an I-field that blocks every blast coming towards it, and transforms into a true Gundam's features, complete with red beard and V-fin. It draws a beam saber, and shit gets underway. Episode end. Good luck waiting for autumn.

* Daguza ambushing and trapping the hitherto near-unstoppable Sinanju whilst ''on foot'', before pounding the living crap out of it with a shoulder-fired rocket launcher. Admittedly, [[spoiler:it ended up getting him killed]], but that in no way diminishes the magnitude of his accomplishment.
** [[spoiler:The fact that Daguza was able to get a salute in to Banagher before getting beam sabered was a DyingMomentOfAwesome]]

** When the Delta Plus takes the Unicorn's beam magnum to [[spoiler:destroy the Shamblo when Banagher refuses to]], the gun is so powerful that it ''breaks the Delta Plus' shoulder''.

** Especially one scene when he [[spoiler: used an enemy Jegan to shield himself from incoming missiles from the ''General Revil''.]]

* Anything related to the Banshee. From [[spoiler:launching into space, to equipping its new Armed Armour DE, to completely decimating the Narhel Argama's mobile suit team]].
** Not that [[spoiler: they don't make a badass effort of trying to stop him. The notoriously badass Jegan pilot even manages to ''grab the Banshee's horn and nearly decapitates it''.]]
** Special Mention goes to how the Banshee [[spoiler: goes on to ''simultaneously rip into the two Rezels and one Jegan'' after that.]]
* The heavily damaged Kshatriya Besserung. It [[spoiler:lost all of its funnels, only had a binder and a half left, as well as missing parts of its chest and its right leg. Even the head looks like it got ripped open. However, Marida completely dominated Angelo in his shiny Rozen Zulu]].
* The Unicorn [[spoiler:receiving it's Full Armour upgrade]].
** What's more impressive is that [[spoiler:the Full Armour upgrade]] was a ''jury-rigged job'' by one of Banagher's friends that still manages to work!
* Otto [[spoiler:verbally destroying Angelo in the middle of an emergency, even while the latter was pointing a pistol at him]].

* The ECOAS unit pretty much singlehandedly [[spoiler:retaking the Nahel Argama from Full Frontal's troops.]] The OhCrap expression on Angelo's face when he realizes it is extra icing.
* [[spoiler:Banagher's encounter with Riddhe with his Banshee Norn. With [[SayMyName saying their names each other]] while clashing their beam sabers.]]

* When you see the fully awakened Unicorn Gundam [[spoiler: has ''shield funnels that block beam fire and fire gatling guns'']]

* When Full Frontal has Banagher trapped in a Newtype vision, who steps in to convince him to let him go, none other than [[spoiler: the ghosts of Lalah Sune and Char Aznable himself]].
** Banagher was already reaching out and doing his best to convince Full Frontal that his philosophy was wrong, [[spoiler: Lalah]] just followed up on Banagher's cue.
** The Newtype vision itself prior to these counts. [[spoiler:Seeing the Axis Shock from ''Char's Counterattack'' and One Year War scenes from the original ''Mobile Suit Gundam'' beautifully reanimated is a sight to behold. Especially so with ''Gundam: The Origin'' having been announced about a month before Episode 7 was released.]]
* Banagher and Riddhe [[spoiler: combining Newtype fields to block the colony laser]].

** It wasn't until [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamNarrative Narrative]], however, that the full awesomeness of what Banagher did there was revealed: [[spoiler:''he reversed time inside the mobile suits' engines, de-aging the internal components back into the raw materials they were once manufactured out of'']]. Seems like Amuro's prediction [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam back in the day]] about Newtypes one day being able to [[spoiler:[[TimeMaster control time itself]]]] was spot on.
* Even [[spoiler:Syam Vist]] manages one, when he manages to drive off Full Frontal with hidden turrets that are controlled by his mind.

* More of a meta example, but the ''One Hundred Years of Solitude'' miniepisode manages to make what amounts to a narrated clip show awesome. It not only manages to tie in the events of ''Unicorn'' to the rest of the Universal Century, but also mirrors the plot of the titular novel. [[spoiler:That the narrator turns out to be the ghost of Cardeas Vist probably helps as well.]]
