** As a last thought, Sanetoshi's masterful manipulations of Kanba '''may''' qualify both as this ''and'' as KickTheDog or even MoralEventHorizon. The results are horrible, yes, but [[MagnificentBastard they're extremely well done.]]

Spoilers shouldn't be marked on Awesome subpages.


* Episode 8: Shouma gets his own CMOA's when [[spoiler: he stands up to the desperate and maddened Ringo, stops her AttemptedRape of Tabuki, and [[WhatTheHellHero calls her out]] ''[[WhatTheHellHero epically]]'' on what she's doing to Tabuki and Yuri. And at the end, he saves Ringo's life via a DivingSave, getting hit by a car instead of her.]] Not to mention, he does all of this [[spoiler: despite being weakened by Ringo's paralyzing drug.]]
* Episode 9: Possessed!Himari stopping Sanetoshi from [[spoiler: forcefully kissing her]] is pretty awesome as well.
* Episode 10: Ringo [[spoiler: '''willingly''' offering her half of the Destiny Diary to Kanba so he can save the kidnapped Shouma]].
** Kanba [[spoiler: passing through several obstacles to rescue Shouma]] is pretty awesome too.
*** And [[spoiler: Masako outgambitting and surprise-kissing Kanba]] too.
*** The end throws quite the WhamLine: [[spoiler: "Survival Strategy"... as said by Mario Natsume!]]
* Episode 11. [[spoiler: Shouma tells Ringo again (much more politely this time) that she should be herself, and not try living the life that Momoka would've led.]]
** And [[spoiler: The Princess of the Crystal summoning herself and her magical space through Himari... to let the BSOD'ing Ringo talk about her genuinely serious issues. True, she ''still'' called Ringo names, but considering how Ringo ''truly'' needed this -- it was an odd mix of this and PetTheDog from the Princess.]]
** Arguably, [[spoiler: Masako ''seriously'' freaking Kanba out via introducing him to Mario.]] One of the few times that [[spoiler: Kanba]] has been this close to losing it.
** [[spoiler: Yuri]] also deserves mention. Shady as she can be, the fact that she ''didn't'' flip her shit out when [[spoiler: she found Ringo in her condo while Tabuki was NotHimself]] should be recognized as kinda cool. Anyone else would, understandably, have a FreakOut at '''that'''.
* Episoe 15. [[spoiler: Yuri and Masako's "fight"]] was made of pure awesome. Specially because [[spoiler: Yuri manages to use a pingpong paddle to throw all of Masako's bullets away -- while fighting ''in complete darkness'', as well as not letting Masako's BreakingSpeech get to her AND she tricked Masako into taking a fake Diary.]]
** [[spoiler: Momoka rewriting reality and almost getting herself killed... all to save Yuri's life no matter what.]]
* Episode 16. [[spoiler: Yuri not only outsmarted Masako, but totally {{troll}}ed her. She even put a sort-of bomb in the fake Diary!]]
** Also, [[spoiler: the return of the Princess of the Crystal, completely owning the maid that Masako sent to spy on the Takakuras.]]
** An lest we forget [[spoiler: Masako choosing to be poisoned with ''fugu'' fish rather than having possessed!Mario under risk.]]
* Episode 17, [[spoiler: Yuri versus Masako Round Two]].
* Episode 18 is awesome for [[spoiler: Momoka (showing how she graduated to BadassAdorable level and singlehandedly saved Tabuki from the child broiler space)]], [[spoiler: Kanba (utterly refusing to let Himari being thrown from a construction gondola by the maddened Tabuki)]] and [[spoiler: ''Himari'' (refusing to panic and cry even when she's about to die, and even being ready to pull and HeroicSacrifice if it'll let Kanba survive.)]]
** And possibly one for [[spoiler: penguin #3, who appeared to knit a rope for Himari to escape her impending HeroicSacrifice whilst everyone was busy shouting at one another.]]
* Episode 20 has [[spoiler: little!Shouma chasing down the truck with little!Himari in it. He follows it all the way to the child broiler and proceeds to singlehandedly rescue her.]]
