* She may be a monster, but [[spoiler: seeing Orisube reflect on her life as she fears she's about to die can only be met with tears. Sure, she was complicit in many crimes and did many horrible things, but she was raised that was since childhood. She never got a chance at happiness like Ren and her friends did, and any time it looked like she could, life would throw her another bad situation. At this point, being hunted like a dog, Orisube looks ''pitiable.'']]

Sure, she was complicit in many crimes and did many horrible things, but she was raised that was way since childhood. She never got a chance at happiness like Ren and her friends did, and any time it looked like she could, life would throw her another bad situation. At this point, being hunted like a dog, Orisube looks ''pitiable.'']]
** And [[spoiler: she still dies. Despite Ren being willing to forgive everything, Orisube dies mere moments before Peggy gains her benediction. ''And she dies remembering how kind Ren was to her on the subway ride to the hospital.

* The Professor's [[spoiler: last moments are sad, even for a terrible villain like him. He's nearly achieved his revenge, and knows he can rely on some outside agent like Rinka or Kobushi to finish off Claudia, the last remaining person who wronged him, but all he can think about is how Minami has grown to look like her mother and his wife. ''It took him this long to realize this'' because he was so blinded by revenge.]]

* The Tie-in Novel ''London ESP'' [[spoiler: shows Minami actually ''loved'' Azuma. Not as a brother, but as a potential lover. And she was about to say it to him the day she had been nearly raped and told by the Professor she had to choose between revenge and peace. Alone in London, more than a year later, she can only see the choices she made as mistakes, and her scorn for Rinka and the world is killing her from the inside. Minami almost definitely ''hates herself'', and she can't do anything to stop it because, after a life of sadness and getting tossed around by the rest of the world, she feels she can't trust anyone. And the one person who she felt she could trust, Azuma, ''is working with her greatest foe.'' It really puts her anger towards Rinka into perspective. Kozuki is even convinced she wants to die.]]

** Likewise, [[spoiler:Rinka is forced to watch as she's being sold off to some sleazebag while being called out as nothing more than an obedient dog by one of the other fighters who idolized her believing she could change things. The other fighters who she's faced are terrified of her as well. She wants to do something about it, but can't afford to act just yet until the CIA can move during the finals two months later.]]
