Lupin III/Awesome


 * In The Secret Of Mamo,Lupin manages to drive on a road's guard rail, which at the time was suspended in mid-air, and safely makes it back onto the road. Ridiculous? Yes. Awesome? I think so.
 * Speaking of car chases, the entire opening car chase in The Castleof Cagliostro. Lupin manages, among other feats, to drive up a vertical cliff-face to rescue a mysterious girl.
 * Long-standing anime folklore has it that Steven Spielberg himself has pronounced this scene as the best car chase ever put on film.
 * The manga chapter The Great Escape has Lupin spending a year in prison claiming that he's not really Lupin. as Lupin walks calmly out of the prison, smiling.
 * Along with a huge Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, the second series episode "Goemon's Close Call" also has an epic moment towards the end. Goemon is given a chance to revenge himself against one of the assassins who tortured him throughout the episode; his hands, however, have practically been mangled by what he's been through. He charges forth anyway, Zantetsuken tucked under one arm, and manages draw and run through his foe anyway...by grabbing the sword with his teeth.
 * Whenever Zenigata gets serious, he's prone to pulling off these - just mainly when his aim isn't to put Lupin behind bars even if he's the target. Once he managed to outwit and handcuff all three of the gang to a tree, just because he wanted to warn them about specialist hitmen they'd be going up against.
 * He also manages to catch the three again when he wants to steal back some family heirlooms.
 * The ending of The Secret of Mamo has Lupin outsmarting a billion-year-old psychic brain in a jar that called itself god.
 * The ending of The Gold of Babylon has Lupin stealing the golden tower of Babel from aliens who were called God by humans.
 * In the Elusiveness of Fog, Lupin tricks Mamou, a guy who invented a time-travel machine, into letting him steal the device.
