Awesome / Ultraman Tiga

The Series Itself

Episode 27: I Saw Obiko!

• While the rest of the episode is either funny or a massive Tear Jerker, there's an incredibly badass moment where Tiga dodges a fireball from Obiko by nonchalantly tilting his head to the right, allowing the fireball to pass over his shoulder.

Episode 34: To the Southern Limits

• For an episode focusing on TPC's higher-ups — General Sawai and Director Yoshioka are the stars of this episode. When Sawai and a few world leaders are held captive by Desimonia, Yoshioka definitely had the balls to infiltrate the enemy lines to rescue his superior with help from GUTS and it proves that even if Yoshioka is willing to take matters to his own hands; he the least person who would stand around and do nothing during the line of duty and he has the courage to do so befitting his military background.
  • Both Sawai and Yoshioka fending off the Small Desimonia horde shows Rank Scales with Asskicking in its finest. Before that, it's Yoshioka's Big Damn Heroes moment that stand out.
• Daigo saving General Sawai before being enlisted as a GUTS officer in a flashback. Even the General is admired by Daigo's his courage and probably he had the part of enlisting him to GUTS.

Episode 50: Take Me Higher!

• The whole latter half of the episode, as Rena chases down Zoiger in the GUTS Wing 01 with Daigo riding shotgun, which also counts as Heartwarming and Tearjerker as she reveals his identity before encouraging him to let her fight alongside him in the light with her Rousing Speech, all while "Take Me Higher" plays:

  The GUTS Wing 01 rises above the clouds as Rena continues pursuit
  Rena: Higher.
  Daigo: What's bothering you? Tell me!
  Rena: Why won't you open up?
  Daigo: What?
  Rena: Why not let us all know? Why bear it all alone? Is it Ultraman's duty to protect the Earth forever... and remain forever alone? Do you really think you can bear it? Is it fair?
  Daigo: Rena...
  Rena: I want to join you in the light. I want to climb higher until I'm part of the light too.
  Daigo: It's not about duty. I want to do all I can because I'm human.
  Rena: I... can't see behind me right now. She sobs Do what you must.
  Daigo holds the Tiga Spark lens behind Rena
  Daigo: Rena, you can be... a being of light too. He transforms carrying the GUTS Wing 01 before going into Sky Type
  Rena: ...Thank you.

  • Really, just seeing this page won't do this scene justice. Witness it in its full glory here.
• A villainous one to Zoiger: the GUTS Wing 01 blows one of its wings off, sending it plummeting to the ground and unable to fly, and its fireballs aren't doing much damage to Tiga. So what does the monster do? It rips its other wing off and proceeds to overwhelm the silver giant in melee combat... until Rena calls out Daigo and Tiga gives the monster a Curb-Stomp Battle by switching to Power Type and finishing it off with a Delacium Beam Torrent anyways.

Episode 52: To The Shining Ones

• Tiga's final battle against Gatanozoa. With the power of hope from children all around the world, he is able to access his Glitter Form and after firing several finishers in a row is able to vanquish the Evil God for good.
