The process known as the Bright Slap, used for "slapping the fail out of" a WangstyHumongous Mecha pilot, comes from the original Mobile Suit Gundam, wherein Bright Noa did just that to protagonist Amuro Ray. Mecha fans frequently express their desire to see this happen to whiny protagonists such as Kira Yamato or Shinji Ikari. Sadly, this is seldom employed in-show.
Shinji does get Bright-slapped in Super Robot Wars F and in SRW Alpha 3.
Not in Alpha 3; he's 2 years older than when we last saw him and this is after the major Evangelion events. He's obviously grown a pair by simply fighting alongside the biggest badasses and hot-blooded heroes ever. He DOES, however, yell at deliver a Bright Slap to Kira Yamato.
No mention of the Bright Slap turning Wangsters into MEN OF DESTINY????
Bow before your savior, JesusYamato. Note that many people want to see a matchup between him and the above.
On one last yet another Gundam-related note, Acguy is love.
One more... when the Japanese Agriculture Ministry caught two of his employees editing That Other Wiki's Gundam page on company time, they issued the statement that Gundam does not fall under the purview of the Japanese Agriculture Ministry.
You can't list every meme TV Tropes, not while your soul is still held down by gravity.
"Zaku" is slang in some hacker/cracker subcultures for a computer that has no security whatsoever. Whenever someone claims to have hacked such a machine, users tend to spam animated images of the original 0079 Gundam blowing up Zakus, generally with "GOOD JOB!!!" on the bottom.
