[[AC: Chapter 31: Challenges]]
* The reappearance of Freydar is this in many levels, turning what was a lighthearted chapter into a saddening one.
** While the crowd is [[OneHundredPercentAdorationRating happy to see Freydar again,]] she doesn't acknowledge and instead focuses on challenging Cookie. This is a heartbreaking contrast to the person she was three years ago in the flashback of the previous chapter.
** Freydar [[NeckLift strangling Golgadoo and throwing him]] for pointing out she's not supposed to fight because of her CareerEndingInjury is this due to how unnecessarily violent it was.
*** In the background, Stonk being scared upon seeing Golgadoo being hurt. Despite his maturity, Stonk is still a kid so he's not used to this kind of violence, especially if it's someone he knew.

* After the flashback ends, Cookie introduces Ida as her friend. [[BrutalHonesty The hedgehog makes it clear that she doesn't consider Cookie as a friend, only a client.]] Cookie's expression as she walks is one of disappointment as she openly called Ida a friend back in Chapter 3.
* Muko choosing a CoolMask as part of her Combagal uniform. However, Cookie rejects it because it will make Muko look like a {{Heel}} if she wears it. She tells her that doing so will turn Adelgund's HeroicSacrifice useless because she let herself be defeated by Nyarai to ensure Muko became a {{Face}} Combagal. Muko then tearfully puts the mask away.
** This is also a KickTheDog moment from Cookie as she brought a traumatic event from Muko's life (Adelgund's sacrifice) to guilt trip her into being a {{Face}} Combagal.

[[AC: Chapter 30: Facades]]
* The flashback sequence introducing Ida becomes this as it reaches the end.
** Ida meets Freydar, who looks different than the previous chapter. She's happier and helpful to the hedgehog. It's tragic to know that, one year later, a mistake from Cookie will destroy her career at its summit, turning her into an angry shell of her former self.
** Ida getting rejected by Cookie, who calls her useless because her quills will hurt her rivals and drive them away from her. For an extra kick, Ida looks like she had nowhere to go and Cookie only cares about herself.
** Cookie selfishly rejecting Ida is this. She became a manager to help Combagals fulfill her dreams. However, she she meets Ida, who had the same dream she had as a child, Cookie shows no sympathy as she destroys her dream.

* TheReveal that it was Freydar who wanted Cookie's career destroyed and that Shun only did his actions against Cookie to keep her as a trainer for the Cyclone Crushers. When that failed, Freydar, despite her injury, quits her retirement to destroy Cookie.

** Cookie's thoughts admitting that she no longer has her foresight, which she reclaimed a few chapters ago. She's so scared of losing that she can barely peek the result.
** Cookie losing 19,995 Moni that Kalita lost because she ''won'' her bet. The first time she needed to lose, she won and lost most of her money.
*** While it's sweet, there's something sad about Muko congratulating Cookie for her first victory in two years. Cookie has been in such a losing streak, that she hasn't won at anything for ''years.''
** Muko betting the last 10 Moni that Cookie has on Red despite Cookie's protests. She believes that Cookie's curse can be broken if she believes in victory. She ends up losing.
* Cookie crying over her newly doubled debt, even wishing for a drink despite that costing her the love and respect of her former Combagals two years ago. Thankfully, Muko is a good comfort system.
* Muko trying to fight Kalita and fainting. This causes Cookie to think that Cookie probably is still injured from the head pounding Nyarai gave her. Luckily, Muko is just hungry.
** As Cookie remembers the fight, there is a panel of Nyarai laughing while Muko is crying and bleeding from the beating she is receiving.

** After taking out Geffan and Banske, Kalita turns around and swears to beat up all of the members of the Roda Kira Gang, saying they no longer deserve the name. It shows how much the gang let down Kalita as she expected them to have some moral compass rather than following Gantus if it meant throwing out their ideals.

** Kalita watching as Gantus gropes Leyline in front of her, reacting with anger and disgust. It's clear that one part of her [[BrokenPedestal is disgusted with Leyline for falling so low,]] but another part of her is angry at Gantus for doing that to her fellow founder.
* Gantus expelling Kalita from the Roda Kira Gang. Even though Kalita doesn't respect Gantus as a leader, she's shocked and hurt that Gantus expelled her when she was one of its founders and contributors long before he joined them.
** A brief part, but Leyline turning around to look at Kalita despite still being drugged. It shows that a part of him still cares about her, but he can't show it because the drugs prevent him from consciously showing that side of him.
* After defeating Kalita, Gantus gives her a HannibalLecture calling her out as a bully who fights people weaker than her and is scared of people stronger than her.
** Leyline leading the rest of the Roda Kira Gang to laugh at Kalita's defeat despite their history together.
* Kalita running away from Gantus after their fight is over. In a single night, Kalita was disappointed by her fellow founders, her subordinates, her gang, and turned into a laughingstock by Gantus.

* Remember the injuries that Geffan and Banske had in Chapter 26? It turns out it was Kalita who gave those injuries to them.
** Kalita starts the beating by hitting Geffan in the arm with his own bat in a TranquilFury while sporting a [[DisappointedInYou disappointed frown as he's agonizing.]] She then becomes more vocal with Banske for trying to justify their actions by saying that they were following orders.
*** Kalita's anger and disappointment is more palpable when one remembers that Geffan and Banske are not only her subordinates but also her schoolmates. Kalita probably expected them to have standards like her, only to be let down when those two also loved having Gantus as a leader because it meant following their lowest instincts.
* Kalita ordering a raccoon to leave, who pauses when he remembers her as a runaway he met many years ago. One has to wonder what kind of horrible life Kalita had if she ran away from home rather than being an orphan.
** Kalita's face in the flashback. She has a cut on her cheek and she's giving a DeathGlare despite being a child while living in a cardboard box on winter. It's a sad living condition for a child.
* Leyline has his official debut and it shows that, just like Debbie, he's different from the tough biker Kalita remembers. He's constantly drugged, Gantus gropes him publicly, and he doesn't mind the destruction the gang is creating despite going against the principles he had when he made it with Debbie and Kalita.

[[CoolBigSis She loves her like a sister and it hurts Debbie to see Kalita so obsessed with a gang that lost its way a long time ago.]] Sadly, her preaching about family coupled with her earlier drinking despite her pregnancy only drove Kalita away.
** Kalita's reaction when Debbie mentions family. It causes Debbie to flinch and apologize, having forgotten that Kalita is an orphan.
* Kalita visiting a park that she and the Roda Kira Gang visited during the night and fondly remembering her time with Debbie and Leyline. She sadly realizes that she will never go back to those days.
* The ending of the chapter has Kalita see the Roda Kira Gang that she tried to save commit their most ''deplorable'' act yet: they attack homeless people and burn their shelter. The look of shock and horror in Kalita's face is palpable.
** Among the members attacking the innocents are Geffan and Banske, the subordinates of Kalita and her classmates. Seeing her peers who are supposed to share the same values as her captain throw them away to surrender themselves to their lower instincts makes one understand why Kalita was mad at them in the previous chapter.
** Kalita's situation: She's got a severe case of BrokenPedestal from Debbie and then the Roda Kira Gang. The only thing she can do now to vent her frustration is fight Gantus, the man who ruined her life by corrupting her gang and crippling her leader, despite her belief that she couldn't beat him by herself at the beginning of the chapter.

** Kalita giving her former subordinates, who are injured a DeathGlare on sight. It is implied that she hurt them and that their last meeting was far from pleasant.
** Finding out that Kalita is an orphan and a high school student makes the chapter a bit hard after reading it from beginning to end. As a high school senior, Kalita was never adopted. She’s never had a true family. The closest thing she had was the Roda Kira Gang. And she left it. She didn’t leave her biker gang. She left her family as well.
