** How Kaneda nearly wins is impressive as well. Using nothing more than his wits, the environment around him, and a Laser Rifle scavenged from the destruction Tetsuou leaves in his wake, he manages to get his opponent into a prime position for a killing blow. If not for the battery running out just as he made the final shot, Kaneda absolutely would have killed his opponent.

** The page picture to the right shows Kaneda doing a supremely badass slide with the bike after taking down the leader of the Clowns. This shot, originally a piece of background in a panel of the original manga, was executed to perfection by the animators, and became iconic enough to make it into a number of anime and western animation series since.
