* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The close-up of Hajime's mouth and her flat, emotioneless tone as she says "[[spoiler: It can't be helped]]" right before deciding to [[spoiler: "kill" Gelsadra]] gives off this vibe, as does her plan directly after that.

[[spoiler: They do so on an uncomfortably brutal fashion in Live TV]], only for it to later be revealed that [[spoiler: Hajime used Katze's transformation ability to take Gelsadra's form and took the beating from everyone else, and is now lying at the brink of death in the HQ]]. All of this is so that [[spoiler: the people will realize that they need to be held accountable for their actions and decisions]], a major theme throughout the season.
* WhamLine:
** Episode 11 of ''Insight'' provides two:
--> '''Hajime''': "[[spoiler:We're gonna kill Gel-chan!]]''

** Season One: [[spoiler: Katze takes on Rui's form and starts using GALAX as a way to seed distrust and conflict among people, which we're later told is the way he destroys worlds without doing anything]]. Then [[spoilers: he violently beats Rui up to near death, leaving Rui with severe scars and injuries that Utsu-tsu later heals]]. ''Then'' [[spoiler: Rui gets to watch all the chaos unfold and GALAX and the CROWDS take the full blame for the actions of some of its users]].
** Season Two: Even after [[spoiler: granting everyone who uses GALAX the CROWDS ability and receiving widespread praise for their contribution to society, the CROWDS get hijacked ''again'' for terrorist purposes by another person with the same powers as Rui, but who wishes to make people fear the CROWDS in hopes of having them eliminated for good]]. Then, Rui gives him a chance after being challenged about his claim of truly believing in every person's capacity for good, only to be [[spoilers: stabbed in the NOTE and nearly killed in live television while being mocked for being such an idealistic fool, staying hospitalized with what's implied to be severe internal injuries for the next couple episodes and only clinging to life]]. Then, [[spoilers: the previous villain's plan ''works'' as people in mass start criticizing the CROWDS and calling for them to be banned]]. ''Then'' [[spoilers: after having it be further criticized by the public and the other gatchaman in the team, the CROWDS-supporting Prime Minister Sugayama loses the elections after having won them not a month earlier and calling for another election leaning on his support of the CROWDS, which he does ''right after a terrorist attack involving them'', which he loses after repeatedly making a fool of himself in public, and his opponent wins primarily with an anti-CROWDS platform, being directly and publicly supported by ''two of the gatchaman'']]. And all of this happens in the first four episodes. ''Goddamn''.
