History Awesome / GetterRobo

** The Big Bad watches this assault via magical telescope, and all we are treated to seeing after the initial reveal of Ryoma's inventor... are dynamite explosions that gradually get closer to the gate. And stop. And then start up again ''inside'' the city.

** To make it more impressive, a few hours after the poll was up, Goku began climbing after what looked like a gradual decline. It looked like Goku might make a comeback. But after another few hours, Ryoma and Goku entered a stalemate were the score was barely changing, until Ryoma suddenly started climbing again.

* In a poll on Twitter by [[https://twitter.com/learnwithiago/status/1717210386645098514 "Iako-chan"]] Ryoma was pitted against Goku in a poll to determined the most important anime character of all time in the semi-final round. Most who followed the poll assumed Ryoma would be the losing team given that it's Goku of all characters. To everyone's surprise, not only has Ryoma won,but he curbstomped Goku by over 70%.
** He then proceeded to defeat Guts by a similar [[https://twitter.com/learnwithiago/status/1719011897121353985 70%+]] difference, making Ryoma the winner of the pole.

** It should also be noted that Ryoma previously went up against the other big name Shonen Protagonist, Naruto and even the Char Aznable of Gundam fame, a character that alongside Ryoma are two iconic characters in mecha. Should Ryoma Guts in the finals, this will be a big win for not only Getter Robo, but mecha as a whole.

** Before any of that comes the Invaders' attempt to hit the Getter Team with a LotusEaterMachine that causes them all to experience their greatest regrets. For Hayato and Ryoma it's the accident that killed Michiru and for Benkei it's Musashi's death. However, two golden lights appear out of nowhere and grant the team visions: One revealing that Michiru's death was actually a HeroicSacrifice she performed on purpose to kill the Invader Parasite that had infected her and Musashi entrusting Genki's safety to Benkei. Those lights? ''[[BackupFromOtherworld Michiru and Musashi's souls.]]'' Learning the truth also fills Hayato, originally the most amoral of the Getter Team, with ''righteous fury''.

* A lot of people sing the praises of ''Anime/GunBuster'', ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', and ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. What many of them don't know is that these three legends became what they are from ''[[FollowTheLeader chasing Getter Robo's tail.]]'' Any praise they get is also owed to this series.
