* In the very beginning of ''Zeta'', Bright tries to reason with the Titans over the collateral damage that could've been prevented at Green Noa 1 and how poorly they handled the situation. The Titans respond by beating him up for being a useless, back-talking civilian. At the finale, Bright has the Gryps Colony Laser captured by the AEUG and then fired at the Titans fleet, completely wiping out the remaining military strength of the Titans. How's that for a SWEET REVENGE?

** It should also be noted that despite being a kid, [[PintSizedPowerhouse he still gave a good account of himself in hand-to-hand as well]], kicking the crap out of three Titans Officers until the Titan MPs stepped in to hold him down.

* In the Hong Kong arc, Mirai gains one via keeping her cool when both she and her and Bright's children are caught in a particularly terrible HostageSituation: [[spoiler: being put in a small boat near a battlefield, meaning that they can either potentially be killed by friendly/enemy fire or drown if their boat is sunk]].

** Even better? The destructive collision that tears the cockpit from the freighter's body and shatters the pilot window resembles the exact kind of spontaneous deaths that killed Kamille's mother Hilda and people like Sleggar in the previous series. What does Amuro do? Hang onto his seat in free fall before parachuting out, without even a hint of exhaustion or severe worry, essentially faking out the viewer with a sudden pointless death and riding it out easily.

* Pretty much everything Haman does in Episode 43, which is rather aptly titled "Haman's Victory". The AEUG is forced to get Axis to help them destroy [[KillSat Gryps II]] before it can destroy Granada. Haman agrees on the condition that Char beg for her help and pledge his loyalty to Mineva. Char agrees to these conditions, and it's implied that he's crying from the HumiliationConga when Kamille tries speaking to him later. During the battle, Haman shows up in the ''Gwadan'' to assist the Titans. Haman waits until the last minute to fire on Gryps II's engines, disabling the colony laser so she can capture it for herself instead of destroying it as she agreed to do. Haman tells Bask that the ''Gwadan'''s attack was an accident, knowing full well that Bask can't call her out on her BlatantLies without starting a war with Axis that the Titans can't afford.

Added DiffLines:

* In the first episode, Kamille is beaten up by Titans Military Police. Later in the episode, he comes back in a stolen Gundam...
--> '''Kamille:''' "Hey, Mister MP! Wanna know what it's like to be picked on by somebody bigger than you?"


Added DiffLines:

* Obviously, Amuro needs at least one CMOA in this series: The Adhumla, the AEUG's flying command center, is under attack from a powerful Federation Asshimar suit. Unfortunately, Char and Kamille are ill-equipped with shot ammo instead of bazookas. When the Asshimar is about to go in for the killing blow on the Adhumala's bridge, Amuro makes [[BigDamnHeroes his big damn hero]] entrance by flying in on a cargo plane and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfIeRdSwFGc ramming it into the enemy suit]]'', throwing himself through the windscreen and forcing the enemy suit to retreat.
* MauveShirt EliteMook Ben Wooder defines VillainousValour when, refusing to allow Four desertion to hold his army hostage, he climbs into the Psyco Gundam and does a decent job of flying it, despite having no Newtype potential whatsoever. He then earns another one when, with all his mobile suits shot down, he orders the rest of his men of his ship, and crashes it into the ''Audhumla'', shoots Four when she attempts to stop him, and goes out firing a machine gun turret at the MK-II.
* In the Hong Kong arc, Mirai gains one via keeping her cool when both she and her and Bright's children are caught in a particularly terrible HostageSituation: [[spoiler: being put in a small boat near a battlefield, meaning that they can either potentially be killed by friendly/enemy fire or drown if their boat is sunk]]. Any person in her situation would've understandably freaked out, [[YamatoNadeshiko Mirai]] ''[[NervesOfSteel did]]'' ''[[SilkHidingSteel not]]''.
* Awesome for a villain: Yazan Gable, a [[BadassNormal non-Newtype]] handing Kamille his rear in a 1 on 1 battle, using a mobile suit that only Newtypes were supposed to be able to handle.
* Let's not forget when Haman Khan boarded Jamitov Hymem's ship being expected to negotiate, [[spoiler: instead bluntly informing him that she's about to [[ColonyDrop crash Axis]], [[ColonyDrop a giant rocket-propelled colony asteroid]], into their headquarters. She rejects Jamitov's subsequent offer to revive the Zabi family, then tells him she is only after his life. [[DodgeTheBullet After dodging a bullet aimed at her]], she pulls off one of her earrings, filled with enough cyanide gas to kill everyone in the room, effectively taking the room hostage long enough for her backup to arrive and aid her escape.

Added DiffLines:

* Also in "Casualties of War" Char, after being cornered in a damaged ship, proceeds to force Haman to retreat by '''blowing up the ship around him'''.
** Which follows a moment in the previous episode in which Char '''kills every single Axis soldier''' with one shot from The [[WaveMotionGun Mega Bazooka Launcher]].
