* When all the girls at Suzu's school start turning on each other and her over the rumor that she asked out Shinoba, there's something to be said that Suzu and Hiroka could ''reason'' with an entire student body of hormone-driven teenage girls. And they were able to dispell the rumor in record time no doubt.

* Shinobu giving Suzu a firm but gentle WhatTheHellHero speech, explaining that of course Kei and Tomo aren't going to trust her to help them. After all, how can she expect them to come out of their shells [[{{Hypocrite}} when she won't come out of hers]]? It's part of what helps Suzu realize she can't hide behind her Belle persona forever and must find the strength to face her trauam.

*** Unto itself, Belle's TransformationSequence into Suzu is a nice [[NotHisSled twist]] on the magical transformation that's always been key to "Beauty and the Beast" stories. Instead of it happening to Dragon (who wouldn't benefit from the exposure), it happens to Belle. And the movie manages to make it more epic than if it followed the formula ''by framing it as a'' ''[[HeroicSacrifice noble sacrifice]]''!

* A meta one. In the English dub, all of Belle's songs were also localized and sung by her English voice actress, Kylie [=McNeill=], with this being her first voice acting role. It's almost unanimously agreed that she sings the localized versions beautifully. Talk about starting your career off with a bang!

* Even though it was a bit reckless on her part, Suzu's mother risked her life to save a child stranded during a flood.

*** Fridge-Brilliance: Suzu wasn't just [[GoThroughMe standing between an assailant and his sons]]. She was also adopting the Dragon's philosophy. Instead of choosing offense, she chose to defend those who couldn't protect themselves, just as he did for her and Tomo.

**** Basically, Suzu not giving Kei’s dad a ReasonYouSuckSpeech proves that she's above him. In fact, the expression on Kei’s dad’s face afterwards indicated that she told it like it is about him, and he knew exactly what Suzu was saying about him.

** She reflects upon memories of her mother and her time in U, and the strain causes her to break down in tears. In response, not only is there not a single dry eye in the audience (Even Justian, albeit for [[EvilCannotComprehendGood different reasons]])), but every last soul present casts a light and joins in support. Every. Last. Soul. Taking a moment to collect herself, Suzu finally manages to come to terms with her mother’s death and finish performing on an absolutely breathtaking note; even managing to come back as Belle one last time.
** The sheer awesome of the bookend nature of the story: just before getting the link from Hiro to join U, Suzu attempts to sing... and the song she tries to get out, and [[VomitIndiscretionShot fails badly]] doing so, is ''A Million Miles Away''! Then she uses the U invitation link and becomes Bell. And at the climax, Bell grabs Justian's device and Unveils, returning to Suzu ... and she starts to sing ''A Million Miles Away.''

* Belle quickly getting followers by the ''millions'' after her song. What follows is a montage of her song rapidly gaining popularity and taking U by storm, to the point it eclipses other celebrities. And even her previous haters love it without knowing why! All the way, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Swarms of Song]] plays as a [[TriumphantReprise hyped-up reprise]] to reflect how Belle's following is ''building power''. All in all, the different videos and news articles about Belle come together to make up an appropriately breath-taking mural of Belle as an angel!

** And what her assailant manages ''does'' to pull her off his sons (all the while [[FacialHorror tearing a small chunk of her cheek off]]), what does she do? She bravely [[GoThroughMe stands between]] the boys and their father, bravely prepared to face whatever he does to her so they won't ever go back to that life. He was capable of beating her to death if he had a mind to, but she just stood there [[DeathGlare staring]] at him. Ultimately, the father backs down.
*** Unto itself, this beautifully [[MeaningfulEcho mirrors]] her own mother's attempt to save that little girl from the flood. Instead of ending with her untimely death, Suzu made it out alive. On her mother's behalf, she was able to pull of a rescue and live to tell about it.
