* The ending sequence of episode 5 shows quite a touching montage of a mother raising her son, and assisting to the birth of her grandson to soft piano music and visuals. Hard to believe that same son wanted to [[InsuranceFraud kill her or the insurance money.]]

* It's hard not to feel bad for the [[{{Fetish}} panties guy]] of episode 4. For how weird he is, Seven is right that he's not harming anyone. He doesn't steal or creep on people, he buys or finds the underwear himself, and enjoys it within his own home. The worse he does it probably just letting it dry on his roof. Yet the [[MoralGuardian Purity Commitee]] still want him dead, and destroy his collection for no other reason that finding it gross. No wonder [[LetsGetDangerous Seven got pissed.]]

** It also puts a lot of things she wanted to do into perpective. Eating at a fancy restaurant to not eat [[FoulCafeteriaFood hospital food]] for once, giving a nurse a shot because Cola keeps getting shots from them, and [[GroinAttack kicking]] her ex-boyfriend after he dumped her for losing all her hair in chemo, add onto that all the extreme sports and dumb things kids her age get to do, but that she couldn't because of her treatment.

* Speaking of almost dying... Seven almost dying. While reciting the ArcWords of finding something to protect, he [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impales himself on his own scissors]] to take down the Prince of Stan. The show slows down as Seven hits the ground, leaving even [[TheStoic Thirteen]] speachless.

** They are attacked by enemies of her father, and Thirteen [[ExtremelyProtectiveChild does her best to protect her mother,]] using all the techniques she learned in secret, but it's not enough, as another assassin stabs her mother to death. Thirteen is slammed to the ground, and she is left helpless, desperatly [[NoHelpIsComing calling to her father.]] She is then saved by Green Pheonix, who [[DeathOfAThousandCuts wipes the floor with the assassins,]] and she insists to take her with him, leading her to the path of the assassin we now know her as, seeking strength to NeverBeHurtAgain.
* Continuing down the TroubledBackstoryFlashback episodes is the King of Chickens trilogy. It opens in a chicken farm, and Dai Fei, Dai Bo's best friend, breaking the news that Xiao Fei's mom was eaten, and that he will eventually be too. So, he enrolled into [[BeastlyBloodsports cockfighting]] so his son would be raised as a fighter chicken, and not worry about being eaten. But to do so, he has to beat [[CockyRooster King Pheasant,]] or survive a fight against him for 15 minutes. The battle is tough, but Dai Fei holds out for [[PapaWolf Xiao Fei's sake,]] even surviving the beat up inflicted by him by a [[SuperSerum drugged up]] King Pheasant, and passes the 15 minute mark! [[AllForNothing But it doesn't matter.]] [[HumansAreBastards The humans want blood, and let the fight continue.]] Dai Bo can only watch as his best friend is [[BludgeonedToDeath beaten to death under the cheers of the crowd.]] Under the harsh rain, Dai Bo picks up [[TragicKeepsake Dai Fei's sunglasses,]] and swears to protect Xiao Fei in his stead.

[[folder:Season 2: The Mightiest Hairdresser]]
* The inner conflict [[ActionGirl Thirteen]] is going through during Episode 2 is obvious and harsh. She doesn't want to kill Seven, as she owns him her life, but she cannot disobey her master's orders. She is also aware that emotions are an assassin's worst enemy, and that what [[DefrostingIceQueen she's feeling is wrong.]] So, she attempts to write Seven off her life, but he instead saves her once again. She leaves, still conflicted and not without warning Seven of the impending danger.

[[folder:Season 1]]
* Episode 1 establishes the tone of the silly comedy with action, but also [[AmnesiacHero Seven's]] own trouble at his lack of memory. Upon seeing a series of pictures depicting the groom and bride's life at a wedding, he pauses and wonders:
--> '''Seven:''' ''Why don't I have any memories? What kind of person was I?''
** This is even HarsherInHindsight, knowing who [[ProfessionalKiller Seven used to be.]]
* Episode 2 has the story between [[InterspeciesRomance Meow Kitty and Mad Bark]]. The latter broke up with the former, knowing she wanted children, but they couldn't reproduce, never telling her to spare her the pain. So, Meow Kitty hires Seven to [[EyeScream gouge his eyes out,]] thinking [[WomanScorned he fell in love with someone else.]] Now, it would be quite comedic, if it weren't for Mad Bark admitting the truth to her, making them both break down in tears, and the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic amazing love song]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW2uy-KGMpY]] the episode ends with. And cherry on top, it's used as that episode's ending.
* It's hard not to feel bad for the [[{{Fetish}} panties guy]] of episode 4. For how weird he is, Seven is right that he's not harming anyone. He doesn't steal or creep on people, he buys or finds the underwear himself, and enjoys it within his own home. The worse he does it probably just letting it dry on his roof. Yet the [[MoralGuardian Purity Commitee]] still want him dead, and destroy his collection for no other reason that finding it gross. No wonder [[LetsGetDangerous Seven got pissed.]]
* The ending sequence of episode 5 shows quite a touching montage of a mother raising her son, and assisting to the birth of her grandson to soft piano music and visuals. Hard to believe that same son wanted to [[InsuranceFraud kill her or the insurance money.]]
* Cola's episode is all fun and games... until TheReveal at the end. [[LittlestCancerPatient Knowing her cancer would eventually kill her,]] she preferred to commit SuicideByAssassin and die a flashy death people will remember than alone on a hospital bed. But things look up as [[NiceGuy Seven]] spares her life, and introduces her to the [[SuperDoc doctor]] that saved his own life.
** It also puts a lot of things she wanted to do into perpective. Eating at a fancy restaurant to not eat [[FoulCafeteriaFood hospital food]] for once, giving a nurse a shot because Cola keeps getting shots from them, and [[GroinAttack kicking]] her ex-boyfriend after he dumped her for losing all her hair in chemo, add onto that all the extreme sports and dumb things kids her age get to do, but that she couldn't because of her treatment.
* Dachun's HeroicSacrifice to protect the island from STAN's missile. The closest anyone has actually been to dying at this point in the series. His earnest attempt to keep people safe moves Seven enough to confront the Prince Of Stan.
* Speaking of almost dying... Seven almost dying. While reciting the ArcWords of finding something to protect, he [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impales himself on his own scissors]] to take down the Prince of Stan. The show slows down as Seven hits the ground, leaving even [[TheStoic Thirteen]] speachless.
** [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter Xiao Fei]] jumping to Seven's side, and starting to jump on his chest as if to give him cardiac massage. And when the Prince Of Stan gets closer, Xiao Fei gets [[GoThroughMe in between him and Seven.]]

[[folder:Season 1 OVA]]
* They show you right away those [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVAs]] aren't going to pull any punches with [[TroubledBackstoryFlashback Thirteen.]] Easily the darkest episode at this point. Showing a young Thirteen yearning for her [[ParentalNeglect father's love,]] only to see it directed at [[HeirClubForMen her new baby brother,]] and leaving with her mother.
** They are attacked by enemies of her father, and Thirteen [[ExtremelyProtectiveChild does her best to protect her mother,]] using all the techniques she learned in secret, but it's not enough, as another assassin stabs her mother to death.

** Back to the present, Dai Bo lights a cigar and fills up an empty glass, which he trinks with his own, wishing his deceased friend a happy birthday, having been in the middle of telling the [[TellMeAboutMyFather story to Xiao Fei.]]
* After finally escaping the chicken farm, Dai Bo and Xiao Fei arrive on Chicken Island to live peacefully. As they walk along the seaside, they spot something: A young man in dark clothing, bleeding to death from an open wound in his chest. Dai Bo, understandably [[HumansAreBastards hating humans for all they've done,]] tells Xiao Fei to walk away, and that he's not helping a human. But [[ChildrenAreTenderHearted Xiao Fei insists, jumping on the boy's chest like a cardiac massage.]] Dai Bo sighs, drags the kid away from the water, and get him to a doctor. A bittersweet moment showing us how the two met [[FamilyOfChoice Seven.]]
