Turn A Gundam #27 - "Midnight Sunrise"
This ep provides an intense depiction of the devastating effects of nuclear weapons. It aired weeks after the 1999 Tokai JCO nuclear accident, a coincidence Tomino describes as "subconsciously reflecting the times."

Turn A Gundam #27 is a visually striking episode that features many talented animators, with Masami Goto at helm as mecha animation director.
Here is Seiichi Nakatani's cut.
The way this scene is cut is hilarious, because it makes it look like Dianna changes into her queen outfit in just a few seconds. And when confronted about appearing out of nowhere, she simply remarks that avoiding the guards is a game with which to amuse herself.
This is one of my favorite quotes in anime, and there's a lot to unpack here if one views Corin's words as Tomino's own inner monologue. He wanted Turn A Gundam to be a new and accessible hit, and despite its poor TV ratings he did his best not to succumb to the criticism.
