Awesome / Hoshin Engi
aka: Houshin Engi

Go To

  • Empress Kyohi, a relatively minor character, gets one in the anime when she confronts King Chu and Dakki after her unjust imprisonment. Not only does she call Dakki filth to her face, but she also angrily calls out King Chu on his shameful behavior that led to the death of Ko Hiko's wife and sister. Even Dakki is taken aback.
  • Taikobo defeating Chokomei by using the mesosphere to freeze his giant flower form.
  • Taikobo's first encounter with the 5000 years old Shinkohyo, one of the most powerful doshi in the world. Surviving the encounter is a great feat on its own, but Taikobo goes beyond that and manages to not only cut Shinkohyo's cheek with the Dashinben (thus making this the first time the doshi has ever bled) but he also refused to escape from the path of devastating lightning bolts because he wanted to protect a village that would have otherwise been destroyed in the blast. Shinkohyo is very impressed.
  • Taikobo saving an entire village from death and slavery. Upon seeing the Yin army approaching the village, he gets everybody drunk by turning a stream of water into booze. The villagers spend the night drinking and fall asleep and put no resistance when they are captured by the enemy (the army had received orders to kill whoever posed resistance). Taikobo allows himself to be captured but quickly escapes and defeats Chinto, Dakki's underling, causing the rest of the army to retreat and abandon the captured villagers.
  • Ryukitsu Koshu comes to help Toh Sengyoku against Ryukan. When the latter sends his giant lava crow to kill her, she dispatch it easily using her water paope. When he tries to shoot her with his other paope, she simply blocks the arrows and drills a hole in each of his limbs, coldly telling him to just give up and go away.
  • Dokoson dispatching Ryukan and saving Sengyoku's life, after spending nearly the entire manga being a joke.
    Dokoson: Handle girls gently, dumbass!
  • While it is arguably an Evil moment of awesome, nevertheless we have Bunchu not only surviving an entire barrage of attack from almost all of the Twelve Sennin of Kongrong without a scratch... but also using his Kinben to utterly annihilate in a single attack the two strongest melee specialists, breaking through their paope robots and barrier.
    Bunchu: "Today, the Sennin World shall come to an end."
  • The opening of the Hoshindai.
