History Awesome / TokumeiSentaiGobusters

** For extra awesome, bear in mind that the events of #46 through to #50 took place over a couple of ''days''! Those kids sure were busy.

* The effects and stunts for the series are absolutely impressive, made even more so when a behind-the-scenes feature revealed that the actual actors did most of their stunts.
* Behind the scenes, Hideo Sakaki (Commander Takeshi Kuroki or "Kurorin" in Jin's case) caught a [[ThePeepingTom peeping tom]] from taking upskirt pictures of high school girls in a bookstore and got said perpetrator arrested. You can view it [[http://henshinjustice.com/2012/08/28/commander-kuroki-helps-arrest-perverted-photographer/ here]].
-->''I guess you could say "Shut-down Complete."''
* Another meta example: after being passed up in favor of ''Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger'', having Saban go back and pick this series up under Hasbro's banner and bring it to the states as ''Power Rangers Beast Morphers'' has brought smiles to a lot of fans of this series who thought that it wouldn't happen!
* Doubling as a Heartwarming moment, we have the main four cast members (Katsuhiro Suzuki, Ryoma Baba, Arisa Komiya, and Hiroya Matsumoto) coming together for a talk-show at the 2020 Tokyo International Film Festival showing off their movies, ''Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters the Movie: Protect the Tokyo Enetower!'' and ''Film/TokumeiSentaiGobustersReturnsVsDobutsuSentaiGobusters'' eight years after the show ended. Not only that, their movies kicked off a ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' commemoration went from November 1st to November 5th as a special screening. Just the fact that TOEI was willing to go ahead and start with ''Go-Busters'' (a series that underperformed in Japan despite its recent surge in popularity and is still rather divisive) as a way to kick off their commemoration at a such a prestigious festival such as TIFF is impressive and surprising.

** Yōko's plan to fool Enter. To elaborate, she would have Ryūji be accompanied by Morishita and Nakamura disguised as Hiromu and Yōko respectively while Hiromu would watch behind a corner to catch Enter's attention. While this is all going on Yōko would climb up the back of the building, pull Usada up and free him. [[spoiler: It almost works.]]

** At the end of the episode we get [[spoiler: The debut of Beet Buster and his Buddyroid.]]
* #15: [[spoiler: Beet and Stag Buster]] vs. Soujiki[[note]](Vacuum)[[/note]]roid
* #16: BC-04 and SJ-05 in their beetle forms vs. [=ParabolaZord=]'s[[note]]([=SatelliteZord=])[[/note]] [=BugZords=]. What happens to them? The two Buster Machines [[spoiler: ''absorb their Enetron'' and crush them.]]
* #17: The Vaglass' new Megazord not only going toe to toe with Go-Buster-Oh [[spoiler: but being able to ''[[OhCrap break out of the Dimension Crush!]]'']]

*** Nick [[spoiler: saves Hiromu from being killed by Enter]] by using his guns for the first time in the entire show!
** The engineers and command staff all take up Ichigan Busters to keep Escape and Enter [[spoiler: from stopping Great Go-Buster from entering into Hyperspace]]

** And last, but not least, the appearance of [[spoiler: Messiah's material form and he makes his presence known by summoning back Forkroid, Cutterroid, Keyroid, and Parabolaroid]] to take on the Busters.

** Enter explaining that not only did he manage [[spoiler: to perform a partial backup of Messiah, but now he's planning on using humans to help him evolve. And just to rub it in, he's treating the whole thing as a game...with the world as the prize.]]
** Also from Enter, getting Escape to quietly agree to help him...[[spoiler: ''[[DontMakeMeDestroyYou after asking her to not make him delete her!]]'']]

** How does Hiromu save Nick? [[spoiler: ''By punching through Sunadokeiroid [[note]](Hourglassroid)[[/note]] and pulling him and everyone else out!'']]
* #34: Two Megazords plus a Puppeted GT-02 outnumber a lone J when suddenly, [[spoiler: a navy blue lion Buster Machine appears and stops the Megazords, turning the battle in the favor of the Go-Busters.]]
** The preview for the episode after that reveals that said lion was [[spoiler: created by [[Music/JAMProject Ichiro Mizuki]]!]]
* #35: The whole episode. Li-Oh is revealed to be a [[spoiler: Buddyzord and is also a triple-changer, going from animal mode, to robot form, and eventually a bike which CB-01 can ride on]].
** CB-01 and Li-Oh [[spoiler: battling it out and eventually taking it to robot form]].
** [[spoiler: Li-Oh is eventually tamed and Hiromu manages to pilot it, taking down Enter and his Epsilon Zord.]]

* #36: The [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon Lio Attache itself]]. Outside of being able to control Tategami Li-Oh, it can [[spoiler: sense Metaroids, can sense when Enetron is being discharged, can sense when any of the Go-Busters are in danger with their weak-points, and best of all, it's a {{BFG}}]].
** [[spoiler: After hearing that both Yōko and Ryūji are about to hit their weakpoints, Usada and Gorisaki grow concerned for their human companions and rush out to help them, forgetting all about their strike]]. [[spoiler: Nick then decides to make the call for battle, just like his Hiromu]].
** [[spoiler: Ryūji vs Escape. Ryūji pretty much [[CurbStompBattle dominates the fight thanks to Powered Custom]]]].
** [[spoiler: Go-Buster Li-Oh's first fight]].
** Ryūji also gets a new attack, the Gorillarge Punch, which joins his arm with Gorisaki's for a massive strike. It's so powerful that Escape is sent FLYING, Gog and Magog are destroyed, and Escape's damaged to the point that [[spoiler: Enter has to load a Metavirus into Escape just to keep her from disintegrating]]!
* #37: [[spoiler: Escape's Monster form vs. the Busters]]

* #39: You have the Child of the Week take out an army of Black Belts. [[spoiler: Granted he was tapping into the power of a Messiah Card, but still.]]

* #40: [[spoiler: Enter's OneWingedAngel form and first fight.]]
** To clarify [[spoiler: Enter just glides in front of Hiromu who is performing the Volcanick attack and bats him aside. Then proceeds to fly right into the middle of the busters and beats them all without trying. The he goes and ''pulls the Messiah Card'' right out of Parabolaroid 2!]]

** [[spoiler: The Zeta Megazord Debut]]

** The busters throwing everything at the fully evolved Zeta. [[spoiler: and the Zeta being unaffected by everything.]]
** [[spoiler: The takedown of Messiah. It starts with Go-Buster King charging at Zeta who shoots lightning at them. Out of nowhere come Go-Buster Li-Oh who gets boosted by Buster Hercules up to the Zeta's chest, where they plant the sword directly in his chest. Finally the Buster put all their power into Go-Buster Li-Oh who shoves the sword right down to the hilt and hits the Zeta with a chest beam.]]

* #49: The Go-Busters manage to [[spoiler:lure Enter into a hanger back at base, despite his power, and hold him until they can be transported to Hyperspace]]. What makes this even more epic? [[spoiler:The Go-Busters [[HeroicSacrifice are well aware there may be no coming back.]]]]

** As Jin tries to [[spoiler: extract the Messiah card from Hiromu,]] the other Busters, and even [[JokeCharacter Nick]] [[LethalJokeCharacter (who actually manages to take down quite a few Mooks!)]], hold the line against a large group of Buglars [[spoiler: led by Enter in his Dark Buster form,]] and fight valiantly to give Jin the time he needs.
** J takes a blow from [[spoiler: Enter,]] but he keeps his ground, even as [[spoiler:Enter]] continues to push down on his sword, trying to cut through his shoulder. [[spoiler: Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment, since he's doing this to fulfill Jin's last wish.]]
** After [[spoiler: Enter's SoulJar is destroyed, Enter]] claims he has one more trump card. Jin calmly tells him it's useless, [[spoiler: since the rest of his data's gone anyway. Enter's]] [[VillainousBreakdown reaction is priceless.]]
** During the final HumongousMecha battle, [[spoiler: Enter, thanks to the data he's stolen, is countering all of the Busters' attacks. So, how do they beat him? Hiromu throws him off by diverting all power to Ace's legs, letting his mech do super-speed! He then takes his sword, [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice thrusts it into Megazord Omega,]] letting the others finish it off by blasting it.]]
** And then we have the real final battle. [[spoiler: In a nice twist on what we saw in the previous episode, the Busters take turns attacking Enter, this time seeming to have the upper hand as opposed to when he effortlessly deflected or absorbed all their attacks before.]] Everything seems to be going well... [[spoiler: Until Enter smashes the PowerTrio's visors.]]
** [[spoiler: Enter attempts to use a HannibalLecture on Hiromu, but [[ShutUpHannibal Hiromu's having none of it.]] After explaining why he thinks HumansAreSpecial, and why Enter [[EvilCannotComprehendGood can't grasp that, despite his best efforts,]] Hiromu prepares to finish the fight. [[YouAreNotAlone As he charges up his attack, the other Busters take hold him from behind, lending him their strength.]] While Enter uses his Volcanic Attack, the Busters use the Volcanic All Busters Attack. The finishers clash in the air, and Enter is finally overpowered and defeated. For Jin, this counts as a DyingMomentOfAwesome, since he disappears immediately after Enter's death.]]

* Doubling as a Heartwarming moment, we have the main four cast members (Katsuhiro Suzuki, Ryoma Baba, Arisa Komiya, and Hiroya Matsumoto) coming together for a talk-show at the 2020 Tokyo International Film Festival showing off their movies, ''Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters the Movie: Protect the Tokyo Enetower!'' and ''Film/TokumeiSentaiGobustersReturnsVsDobutsuSentaiGobusters'' eight years after the show ended. Not only that, their movies kicked off a ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' commemoration went from November 1st to November 5th as a special screening. Just the fact that TOEI was willing to go ahead and start with ''Go-Busters'' (a highly debated series to this day) as a way to kick off their commemoration at a such a prestigious festival such as TIFF is impressive.

-->''I guess you could say "Shut-down Complete."''

* The first three Go-Busters in their battle against [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]-beater Basco in ''[[Film/KaizokuSentaiGokaigerVsSpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie Gokaiger vs. Gavan]]'' as well as fighting "Destroyer of Worlds" (and other Kamen Riders) KamenRiderDecade in ''[[Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiSuperHeroTaisen Super Hero Taisen]]''. Though neither got their asses handed to them, that the incomplete Go-Busters could fight evenly matched against these two formidable foes and counter the tricks up their sleeve is pretty damn impressive.

* #36: The [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon Lio Attache itself]]. Outside of being able to control Tategami Li-Oh, it can [[spoiler: sense Metaroids, can sense when Enetron is being discharged, can sense when any of the Go-Busters are in danger with their weak-points, and best of all, it's a BFG]].

* #2: We see the Go-Busters rescuing the civilians, reminding of ''RescueSentaiGoGoFive''.

* #15: [[spoiler: Beet and Stag Buster]] vs. Soujiki[[hottip:*:(Vacuum)]]roid
* #16: BC-04 and SJ-05 in their beetle forms vs. [=ParabolaZord=]'s[[hottip:*:([=SatelliteZord=])]] [=BugZords=]. What happens to them? The two Buster Machines [[spoiler: ''absorb their Enetron'' and crush them.]]

** This requires a little elaboration. At the start of the episode Jin tells Gorisaki that Ryūji could die the next time he overheats after seeing his failed medical examination[[hottip:*:(In actuality, Jin was joking but Gorisaki freaked out and ran off before Jin could tell him)]] and Ryūji overhears Kuroki and Nakamura discussing it after Ryūji is "kicked off" the team. He takes his stuff back and heads out to what he believes to be his final battle. Ryūji proceeds to beat down Dumbbellroid while the others just watched.

* #24: Ace, jumping on top of SJ-05, using his boosters to help get through [=WataameZord=]'s[[hottip:*:(Cotton [=CandyZord=])]] shockwave attack, and delivering the killing blow.

** The Commander busting out some never before seen fighting moves against Keshigomuroid[[hottip:*:(Eraserroid)]].

** Great Go-Buster vs. [=MushikagoZord=] [[hottip:*:([=CageZord=])]]. What makes this fight so awesome is that Great Go-Buster's attacks are not all StockFootage and a new piece of tech is introduced that allows Great Go-Buster to disable the artificial Hyperspace for a limited and the Demolition Thrust almost makes it look like that Great Go-Buster is jousting.

** How does Hiromu save Nick? [[spoiler: ''By punching through Sunadokeiroid [[hottip:*:(Hourglassroid)]] and pulling him and everyone else out!'']]

** As Jin tries to [[spoiler: extract the Messiah card from Hiromu,]] the other Busters, and even [[JokeCharacter Nick]] [[LethalJokeCharacter (who actually manages to take down quite a few Mooks!)]], hold the line against a large group of Buglars [[spoiler: led by Enter in his Dark Go Buster form,]] and fight valiantly to give Jin the time he needs.
** J takes a blow from [[spoiler: Enter,]] but he keeps his ground, even as [[spoiler:Enter]] continues to push down on his sword, trying to cut through his shoulder. [[spoiler: Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, since he's doing this to fulfill Jin's last wish.]]

** [[spoiler: Enter attempts to use a HannibalLecture on Hiromu, but [[ShutUpHannibal Hiromu's having none of it.]] After explaining why he thinks HumansAreSpecial, and why Enter [[EvilCannotComprehendGood can't grasp that, despite his best efforts,]] Hiromu prepares to finish the fight. [[YouAreNotAlone As he charges up his attack, the other Busters take hold him from behind, lending him their strength.]] While Enter uses his Volcanic Attack, the Busters use the Volcanic Go Busters Attack. The finishers clash in the air, and Enter is finally overpowered and defeated. For Jin, this counts as a DyingMomentOfAwesome, since he disappears immediately after Enter's death.]]

* The first three Go-Busters in their EarlyBirdCameo battle against [[KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]-beater Basco in ''[[Film/KaizokuSentaiGokaigerVsSpaceSheriffGavanTheMovie Gokaiger vs. Gavan]]'' as well as fighting "Destroyer of Worlds" (and other Kamen Riders) KamenRiderDecade in ''[[Film/KamenRiderXSuperSentaiSuperHeroTaisen Super Hero Taisen]]''. Though neither got their asses handed to them, that the incomplete Go-Busters could fight evenly matched against these two formidable foes and counter the tricks up their sleeve is pretty damn impressive.

* #49: The Gobusters manage to [[spoiler:lure Enter into a hanger back at base, despite his power, and hold him until they can be transported to Hyperspace]]. What makes this even more epic? [[spoiler:The Go-Busters [[HeroicSacrifice are well aware there may be no coming back.]]]]

*** To start off she attacks Enter for no reason but to introduce herself.
*** Then she creates Keyroid. To carry out her plan; lock up a skyscraper full of people for the Megazord to kill.
*** And to top it all off she goes toe to toe with Hiromu and proves to be more than a match for him.

* #45: Two Bugglars actually get a moment of awesome as they find Escapes tablet and accidentally create a Metaroid.
** Go-Buster Beet, riding Li-Oh and using the Li-Oh burst along with SJ-05 firing its guns to defeat Mochizord.

*** Plus points as well for having Kagayaku Ouja Dolgiran play from the point Gavan summons Dol until RhinoDoubler's shut down!

* #39: You have the ChildOfTheWeek take out an army of Black Belts. [[spoiler: Granted he was tapping into the power of a Messiah Card, but still.]]

*** To clarify [[spoiler: Enter just glides in front of Hiromu who is performing the Volcanick attack and bats him aside. Then proceeds to fly right into the middle of the busters and beats them all without trying. The he goes and ''pulls the Messiah Card'' right out of Parabolaroid 2!]]
