*[[spoiler: Yuki's death scene]] and no, not because [[TearJerker/PsychoPass it's anything awesome]] but because the ''writing'' of it is. While the arc between episode 10 and 11 is played brilliantly dramatic in introducing Makishima, with the [[HeWhoFightsMonsters cat and mouse game he has with Kougami]] it's really the 11's ending where [[spoiler: Akane has to witness first hand the death of Yuki]]. For many people, this is the game changing episode- the point of the story where the WideEyedIdealist, who literally episodes prior only took this position because she scored high, is visibly shaken enough to start questioning her reality. [[spoiler: Makishima exists, the Dominator ''couldn't fire'' and one of her best friends is dead]]. To many fans, this is like reliving episode 3 of Madoka: the game changing episode that will underscore how dark the rest of the series will be.

* The first time we get to see the Dominator's [[PlasmaCannon Destroy Decomposer]] mode in action in episode 3. As if this gun couldn't [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon possibly be cool enough]], it can also vaporize mechanical enemies every bit as effectively as it does humans.
