dewicked Ill Girl


* [[IllGirl Shouko Hazama]] getting in the Fafner to fight. She proceeds to absolutely thrash the Festum which was attacking, before tying herself to it and ''blasting off into the sky'', where she proceeds to self destruct, simultaneously destroying her own unit and the Festum, killing herself in a BIG HeroicSacrifice. Sure, it was also a TearJerker, but she did fight valiantly and literally went out with a bang.

* Meta one: the eclipse in the first episode [[ShownTheirWork will happen in real life]].



* Part-meta, the new Opening sequence since Episode 18 is a combination of CMOA, CMOH and TearJerker all at once. They managed to produce an opening animation which links up the past (from ''Right of Left'', original anime and ''Heaven and Earth''), present and the future, while reminding the audience that ''no sacrifices are left unremembered''. It must be seen to be believed.
** Not just that, the full version of ''DEAD OR ALIVE'' includes callbacks and direct lines from ''Shangri-la'', ''Soukyuu'' and ''Exist'', literally '''all''' the iconic songs from the franchise.

* In Episode 10 Kazuki and Soushi go all out on the Srinagar's Azazel-type Roadrunner, and though it's less of a CurbStompBattle than the previous episode, and requires a lot of effort, it is [[UpToEleven even more awesome]].

** Actually, the CMOA of the above should go to [[spoiler:Roadrunner]]. Given that Sein and Nicht are just too overpowered to those Festum, Roadrunner manages to ''shrug off almost all of their attacks'' with little to no damage, and even heavily damages Sein in the progress; it takes the CombinationAttack of the two to destroy it, ''yet the core still manages to escape''.

It's surely a good thing for it on the good guy's side. [[spoiler:Unfortunately it is also NightmareFuel, as now it is an ''enemy'']].
* In Episode 24, the [[spoiler: ''Zero Fafner'']] returning to battle during the assault on [[spoiler:Watatsumijima aka Atlantis]].
** Rina, of all people, comes up with a plan to beat Walker once and for all: [[spoiler:when the Zero Fafner's Resonance Blaster is sent back towards them, have Sui use his power to call the second blast to him so he can redirect it and hit Walker's core from a different angle.

** Not to mention [[spoiler:Akira's HeroicSacrifice]] by blocking [[spoiler:Vagrant's Babel's Tower from assimilating Ashoka while bearing Zero Fafner's side effect ''all by himself'', as Rina passed out]].
** The Festum have two CMOA in this battle. First, as mentioned above, [[spoiler:Vagrant ''absorbs Zero Fafner's Resonance Blaster and shoot it back'' by deploying a wormhole protecting Walker's core]]; second, when the Tatsumiyajima's pilots face [[spoiler:Diablo-type]] for the first time, they are ''on the receiving end'' of a CurbStompBattle.

** Mark Sein shows us ''just'' how powerful it is [[spoiler:after Kazuki is blessed by the island's Mir: it throws its Luger Lance at the ground before it arrives, and through it assimilates half the ground-if it ''hadn't'' tried that move, a Festum-controlled Kenji would have killed both Reo and Mimika. It also unballs Mimika and completely removes the hardened growths of her SDP's side effect. Some thought that Sein was underpowered compared to Nicht and Raison; this episode very clearly shows how powerful it actually is.]]
* Remember how Walker comes up an attack plan against Tatsumiyajima around Episode 19? Well, [[spoiler:Vagrant]] decides to do it again in Episode 25; but this time, with almost all available pilots present at the same time (and their units upgraded), ''the protagonists [[CurbStompBattle stomped the efforts flat]]''.
** After [[TheWorfEffect being worfed by Crawler twice]], Soushi and Mark Nicht show again how dangerous their combination can be by [[spoiler:'''two-shotting''' the enormous Leviathan-type which can devour the island and, with the help of Kurusu and Kouyo, ''literally'' tear Crawler apart, destroying its core]]. Simply said, '''do not''' fuck with Soushi. He'll rip your fucking heart out.
** Maya gets her Sieben upgraded and it lay a huge tonne of fireworks on Human Army's Fafners. [[spoiler:Utilzing ''multiple'' precise aiming at extreme range with Sieben's Dragontooth, and disabling them with ease]]. She's effectively a [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]] now.
** Hester Gallop is commonly considered to have no redeeming qualities. It doesn't stop her from [[spoiler:[[BigDamnGunship nuking Vagrant without warning]], and gives a chance for the Tatsumiyajima crew to kill it. Personal agenda or not, she's fighting for the good of humanity as a whole.]]
** Related to the above, [[spoiler:Sui (with the help of Rina and, unwittingly, Hester) ''pulled Vagrant down to the Earth'' '''from the orbit''']]. It must be his greatest fest so far.
* The [[spoiler:Battle for Altair in Episode 26.]]
** [[spoiler:Mark Raison]] delivers a CurbStompBattle on the protagonists like never before. Granted [[spoiler:Jonathan only managed to disable their Fafners without killing anyone]], but you know Tatsumiyajima is in deep trouble when [[spoiler:even Kazuki, Soushi, Kurusu AND Kouyo can't even manage to stop Jonathan ''for a little''.]]
** Within the first ''two minutes'' of Episode 26, [[spoiler:General Burns orders ROE Alpha declared over his entire fleet when Alvis releases a flock of Birds to attempt to talk them down. Parts of the fleet start to rebel, causing the ROE declaration, but Kurusu's Mir's response to ROE Alpha? Ram the enemy carrier, and begin to assimilate it.]]
** At one point [[spoiler:Keith and Billy catch up to Mark Sieben and both grab it so that it would not escape whilst they both detonated Fenrir. Maya, however, used Sieben's Razing Cutters to hack into Keith's Fafner and force-terminate Fenrir, whilst ripping out Billy's Fafner's cockpit, also disabling Fenrir. Keith's response is to open the cockpit and shoot the cable connecting Sieben and her Fafner in half, reactivate Fenrir before her Fafner was knocked away by Maya. Sieben survives, but wasn't that amazing for Keith putting up a fight?]]

Maya, however, used Sieben's Razing Cutters to hack into Keith's Fafner and force-terminate Fenrir, whilst ripping out Billy's Fafner's cockpit, also disabling Fenrir. Keith's response is to open the cockpit and shoot the cable connecting Sieben and her Fafner in half, reactivate Fenrir and jump off her Fafner. Sieben survives, but was that amazing!]]
