Manliest Scenes In Anime

At Ushicon, we have what we call "The Manly Man Block" which is a celebration of all things manly in anime. This year in order to avoid pesky "plot" we're showing clips of the manliest scenes in anime.

We're also actively seeking suggestions, which is why I pose this question:

To you, what is the Manliest Scene In Anime?

Thanks for your help!

whenever one of the guys cried in DBZ. It takes a very tough guy to show tears and emotion.

Three words...Hokuto no Ken (...or Fist of the North Star, if you prefer the translated)

On the new Dominion Tank Police when Britain is like 20ft from in front of that big ass truck moments from being road paste in order to shoot it to stop it.

Does Major Motoko count? if so....
where she stopped that helicopter with her feet.

On Fullmetal Alchemist....pretty much anything with Armstrong.
where he challenged Scar.
the "way" he stopped Izumi's big ass fist.
Challenged Mr. Cig with flexing.

Azema vs. Kayser in the semi finals of the Monaco cup in Yakitate Japan. What's more manly then baking?

Episode two of Mushishi Ginko pulls his own eye out to save a little girls sight. Very manly.

Anything from the Berserk. Gutz has manliness trademarked.

Tactics. What could be more manly then Kantarou and Haruka fighting side by side? never leaving each others company, always holding each other and staring meaningfully into each others ey...

...Never mind the last one

Most robot fights should work. I suggest any from Daiguard where they lose an arm.

One good one is from Gundam Wing Endless waltz when Gundam Deathscythe Custom falls of the sky taking a enemy ms out just before he lands.

Now by manliness are we talking being noble, kick-ass action, or things that men like?
If were going with the latter and going all Spike TV-The Man Show- here, I could think of about half a million fan service animes to choose from

I agree. If ever there was a man, the manliest of them all would be Guts/Gutz/Gats/whatever. He's probably one of the greatests (fictional) humans as well.

Noble, kick ass action and such. Fan service is enjoyed by men, but not Manly. Gatts does not do panty shots.

...well... maybe if it's a panty in a shot glass. But otherwise no.
