History Awesome / GearFighterDendoh

** The Heavy Machine Scissor deserve a citation for [[TheDeterminator sheer determination]]: as Dendoh attacks with the Final Attack, Scissors ''fires his best beam at Dendoh and tries to [[TakingYouWithMe destroying it as it's destroyed]]''.

* Ginga's father first appearance in episode 13: [[IntrepidReporter hanging on the rope ladder of an helicopter to get a decent picture of Dendoh]] [[BunnyEarsLawyer while sprouting]] [[GratuitousEnglish Gratuitous French]] to thank Dendoh.

** Dendoh versus the five surviving Professional Machines from episodes 9 and 10. How do Hokuto and Ginga take them down? Easy: they lure them inside ''GEAR's launching duct for Dendoh'' and, once they're nicely packed in a thigh space, hit them all with a single Final Attack. When Dendoh returns in town triumphant, Altair actually utter "ThisCannotBe", and it's a ''realistic assestment'': Altair could not figure a way to pull it off.

* Vega versus Altair in melee combat in episode 11. It started with Vega ''[[CarFu driving her explosive-loaded bike into Ogre's cockpit]]'' (Altair dodged, and, sadly, the cockpit was closed and defended by tough armour, so it didn't do any damage), and it got only awesomer from there, ending when Altair, put on the ropes, manages to get back in the cockpit and run. Also a magnificent example of MamaBear due Vega's true identity.

-->"It's [[{{Superman}} Dendoh]]!"

*** Oh, and who came up with this plan? Not Hokuto or [[ChildProdigy Eris]], but ''Ginga''. Right after suggesting to [[WhatAnIdiot tie the Galfas with a rope]], he suggested the obvious thing, to lure them in a closed space, at which point the two smarter kids realized he was right and started searching for the right place.

** Dendoh versus the five surviving Professional Machines from episodes 9 and 10. How do Hokuto and Ginga take them down? Easy: [[CrazyAwesome they lure them inside]] ''[[CrazyAwesome GEAR's launching duct for Dendoh]]'' [[CrazyAwesome and, once they're nicely packed in a thigh space, hit them all with a single Final Attack]]. When Dendoh returns in town triumphant, Altair actually utter "ThisCannotBe", and it's a ''realistic assestment'': Altair could not figure a way to pull it off.

** Now Dendoh is in trouble, as its batteries are almost depleted and he still has to fight Ogre and Bug, the latter of which managed to get him in a [[WrestlerInAllOfUs full nelson]]. Dendoh is doomed now? Cue evidence that the main requirement to be a member of GEAR is to be CrazyAwesome: [[BigDamnHeroes Kirakuni arrives with GEAR's latest prototype, the Cell Fighter, and manages to free Dendoh]], [[SuperDickery then tricks Hokuto and Ginga into expelling the batteries]] that he ''immediately changes in flight''. Cue ThemeMusicPowerUp for the destruction of Bug with a Final Attack, another change of batteries, and Ogre's ''complete and utter defeat''. Altair only survives due [[DiabolusExMachina his own starship Aldebaran kidnapping him back to the Galfa homeworld]] to both save him and avoid the failing of his LaserGuidedAmnesia.

** How are Dendoh's batteries recharged? By extending the CrazyAwesome of GEAR to ''all'' Japan: they used the electricity of thousands of diesel and gas-powered generators and billions of ''household batteries'', and when that was not enough (as anticipated) they used cars, trucks and motorbikes using their engines to provide some more electricity, and even ''bicycles linked to generators''. Literally AllYourPowersCombined (they even [[InvokedTrope invoked it]], saying that the energy provided by everyone would combine in a power capable of annihilating the Galfa).

** Now Dendoh is in trouble, as its batteries are almost depleted and he still has to fight Ogre and Bug, the latter of which managed to get him in a [[WrestlerInAllOfUs full nelson]]. Dendoh is doomed now? Cue evidence that the main requirement to be a member of GEAR is to be CrazyAwesome: [[BigDamnHeroes Girakuni arrives with GEAR's latest prototype, the Cell Fighter, and manages to free Dendoh]], [[SuperDickery then tricks Hokuto and Ginga into expelling the batteries]] that he ''immediately changes in flight''. Cue ThemeMusicPowerUp for the destruction of Bug with a Final Attack, another change of batteries, and Ogre's ''complete and utter defeat''. Altair only survives due [[DiabolusExMachina his own starship Aldebaran kidnapping him back to the Galfa homeworld]] to both save him and avoid the failing of his LaserGuidedAmnesia.

* In episode 10 Dendoh has to fight Ogre and ''six'' [[EliteMook Professional Machines]] [[spoiler: that we later learn had destroyed four Dendoh-like mecha and defeated Ogre itself during the fall of Alktos]] without the Data Weapons, lost due Eris' mishap in the previous episode. Dendoh not only holds them off for fifteen minutes, but, using Eris' plan, manages to bait ''all'' the Data Weapons (and freeing Viper Whip from Altair's control as a side effect), allowing for the recapture of Unicorn Drill and Leo Circle ''and'' the capture of Dragon Flare and Gatling Boar as Altair scrambles to recapture Viper Whip and capture Bull Horn. Then, after one of the Machines shielded Ogre from a Final Attack, Ogre uses Bull Horn's Final Attack to try and kill Dendoh... But not only Hokuto and Ginga dodge and avoid most of the damage (even if Ginga was knocked out and wounded in the process), but manage to damage Ogre just as bad with a glancing blow from Drill Unicorn (not the Final Attack, Hokuto just thrust the weapon form of Drill Unicorn at Ogre's cockpit and Altair had to jump on the side to avoid being skewered) before retreating, scaring the hell out of Altair in the process.
** Also, this battle marks the moment Altair stops treating Dendoh's pilots as hopelessly outmatched wannabe and starts considering them {{Worthy Opponent}}s in respect for their courage ''and'' skills. Rather justified, as, even if Altair doesn't remember it, [[spoiler: they put a better fight than himself when he had faced just ''three'' of those very Professional Machines with no Data Weapon]]. This was right before they summoned all the Data Weapons.
* Vega versus Altair in melee combat in episode 11. It started with Vega ''[[CarFu driving her explosive-loaded bike into Ogre's cockpit]]'' (Altair dodged, and, sadly, the cockpit was closed and defended by tough armour, so it didn't do any damage), and it got only awesomer from there, ending when Altair, put on the ropes, manages to get back in the cockpit and run. Also a magnificent example of [[spoiler: MamaBear]] due Vega's true identity.

*** Also a good moment for the Professional Machine Bug (one of the veterans who had [[spoiler: captured Altair]], who, [[OhCrap upon seeing the incoming Final Attack]], managed to outrun it and gang up with Ogre on Dendoh, whose batteries are now almost depleted.

* Episode 12 may be a BreatherEpisode, but still manage to get some awesome for its creators by also being a WhamEpisode, thanks to the first appearances of [[RightHandAttackDog Lagowe]], Altair's alleged little brother Subaru and [[TheDragon Zero]], TheReveal that [[spoiler: Vega is actually Hokuto's mother]], and Eris deducing the existence of [[spoiler: the ''seventh'' Data Weapon]].

** The Heavy Machine Azaroth enters the frame and frees Lagowe. The monster pins down Dendoh and attacks until the batteries are exhausted, on Earth Leo Circle and Unicorn Drill are destroyed by the virus... And yet, Hokuto and Ginga's sheer [[TheDeterminator will to win and save the two Data Weapons]] cause a DeusExMachina: [[spoiler: the Seventh Data Weapon, Phoenix Aile]], manifests itself, recreates the destroyed Data Weapons (destroying the combat spaceship and underground tank GEAR had almost completed to fight the Galfa, but it needed them), sends them on the Moon to kick Lagowe away from Dendoh, and tells them to summon a great king called Kiba... A.K.A. Kiba Striker, [[AllYourPowersCombined Leo Circle and Unicorn Drill united in a superpowered Data Weapon]], that proceeds to kick Lagowe's ass.

** Lagowe engages, so Hokuto and Ginga lure it in near a specific crater where they placed a trap. But Lagowe won't enter it... So they ''throw the monster in it'', and trap him so good they could just kill it with a Final Attack if they didn't need a piece of it first.

** Rasenjo is [[NoSell No Selling]] all of Dendoh's Final Attacks thanks to its DeflectorShields, Lagowe is still sleeping... Then they attack Rasenjo's base, inserted inside the Moon's soil, and ''topple Rasenjo''. And wake up Lagowe too.

* In episode 18 Dendoh is engaged by the Heavy Machine Diver on the bottom of the Japan Trench, at 8,000 m of depth underwater. At first Dendoh is outmatched due being sluggish underwater, the need to bring back Lagowe's severed paw to try and defeat its virus, and Diver [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin being formidable underwater]]. Then Diver destroys the paw... At which point Hokuto and Ginga [[UnstoppableRage snap]] and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge annihilate Diver]] [[CurbStompBattle in less than a minute]].

** Also, a little awesomeness for Lagowe, as while Dendoh was busy with Defender he not only knocked out Dragon Flare, but did something supposed to be impossible: it ''poisoned Leo Circle and Unicorn Drill''. Then it dodged Dendoh's final attack, roarer in triumph and returned to Rasenjo.

** Defender then has ''another'' Moment of Awesome when Dendoh attacks it... And discover that ''this'' Heavy Machine is not a MightyGlacier like the others but is fast enough to dodge everything. Dendoh has to use Clock Manager (a Data Weapon ability that ''stops time'' for the target until hit by something else) to hit it.

** When Lagowe comes back for round 2, the Heavy Machine Defender arrives to protect him from Dendoh's 'bullying'... And [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin lives up its name]] with four drones that generates an energy shield every time the Data Weapons try and attack the monster, defending it while letting it attack.

** Vega versus the Chips. It's a complete CurbStompBattle, ending with the Chips running away and Vega demanding they return and fight.

** The Chips wanted to take down Hokuto and Ginga, and [[TemptingFate said that Leo Circle could do nothing about it without being properly released]] and becoming material. Cue Leo Circle reaching natural size and covering them with its body.

* Ginga fighting the Chips and kicking their asses in episode 17.

** In the meantime, Leo Circle, Unicorn Drill and Flare Dragon fought Lagowe... And not only managed to defeat him, but ''cut his right forepaw''.

* In episode 16 the Heavy Machine Skasha had been ordered to protect Lagowe, and had captured Dendoh inside a forcefield to try and crash it with its mass. Cue Final Attack.

* Lagowe in episode 15. He appears at the end of the episode, makes a fake attack on Dendoh so fast that they couldn't even start to move, and leaves, just because.
