2----
3* Sissel's attempt to Avert Fate by saving Lynne at the beginning with some coaching from Ray with how to use his Ghost Tricks, resulting in Sissel crushing Nearsighter Jeego with a ''wrecking ball''.
4* Rockin' Jailbird's and Sausage Head's scheme to dig out of prison is pretty ingenious. Since Jailbird's cell is the first one the guards have to pass by, he'll just flush an "O" or "X" note down the toilet which gets caught by Sausage Head's bell setup either to tell him it's clear to dig or to get back in position.
5* In Chapter 7, after Sissel discovers that Lynne killed him and Lynne explains that it would be very easy for him to take revenge by not rescuing her, what does Sissel do? He saves her anyway, defying fate in order to find out the entire truth behind his story.
6** Lynne pushing the waitress away from the van, then backflipping out of the way herself.
7* At one point Dandy and Beauty (accidentally) kidnap Kamila and hide out in the house where the poor thing accidentally killed her mother. Dandy actually ''[[EveryoneHasStandards calls Beauty out on it]]'' (not that it was her idea, as we quickly find out). Note Beauty is one intimidating FemmeFatale and that every other time the two are together, Dandy is doting over her like a simp.
8* Amelie gets her OffscreenMomentOfAwesome as well. While Beauty and Dandy are heading off to the Chicken Kitchen with Kamila in tow, and Sissel goes there to investigate what happened to Lynne, Amelie's fever has subsided a bit so that she gets out of bed past her oblivious mother Emma (who is still typing her novel) with a lot of her allowance money and walks out on her own all the way to some gift shop where she buys a crystal glass lighter for her father's birthday (unaware that he had died of a heart attack on that day on hearing of her staged kidnapping and had to be saved by Sissel). While Sissel is investigating the "kidnapping", she walks out of the shop by midnight and goes all the way back home by 12:30 AM so that she can stow away the lighter next to the phone and get back to sleep. What a spirited young firecracker.
9* Chapter 15 is full of these being probably the biggest WhamEpisode of the game:
10** Yomiel's introduction, where we first get a glimpse of his powers. The guy takes a bullet head on, gets his body thrown back a few feet onto a rolling stepladder... then nonchalantly rolls it forward and stands up [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic as the tempo kicks in]], all while defying the game's constant use of InstantDeathBullet.
11--> '''Cabanela:''' Ye gods...
12** This also leads to Cabanela's CMOA, as the bullet Yomiel was shot with had a ''radio transmitter'' on it. He shot Yomiel with a radio transmitter bullet while in extreme amounts of pain due to being caught in an explosion and then having Yomiel make his body walk up the stairs with multiple broken bones. It's a miracle he could even raise his arm and aim properly. And he even twirled the gun first, because he's just got to do it with style.
13** Yomiel's entire existence is a CMOA. Before he came along things were definitely interesting; but with his appearance they were kicked up into MindScrew territory.
14** The way you have to deal with Chapter 15: you ''must not'' use your powers while Yomiel is looking or else he will simply murder Cabanela on the spot. You have to be clever to save the Inspector while ensuring his safety in the end. To sum it up: everything is against you in this chapter, once you figure out how to beat it you will feel awesome.
15** The end of Chapter 15, when Detective Jowd puts his coat on. It really symbolizes the completion of his character turnaround from when you first meet him.
16* The end of Chapter 16 when the player is probably freaking out over not being able to open the door, and Yomiel throws it open and rescues Lynne and Kamilla with some sort of freakish multi-object manipulation grabbing claw. And then turns it into a weird humanoid contraption that resembles his actual appearance... ''complete with the sunglasses''!
17** Speaking of Chapter 16, Sissel's ghost tricks stop a ''torpedo'' from detonating.
18* The Final Chapter. The realisation that Yomiel's body is now mortal without the Temsik meteorite and ''can'' be manipulated abuses the "4 minutes before death" Ghost Trick to its logical conclusion, sending the cast back in time ten years to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong. Awesomeness naturally ensues, as well as some great plot twists.
19--> [Jowd fires his gun at Yomiel from the pain of the Temsik fragment striking his leg]
20--> '''Detective Jowd:''' I knew it. This is my true fate... In the end... I stole his life away with my own hands.
21--> [Missile stops the bullet in mid-air]
22--> '''Missile''': I won't let that happen!
23** Old Jowd yelling at Young Jowd to drop the gun, even if it didn't work.
24* Speaking of the Final Chapter, in the end, Yomiel saves young Lynne by manipulating his past self. It's the only time in the game you're able to manipulate a human being.
25* Another thing in the Final Chapter... Ray waits ten years in order to save his owners Lynne and Kamila. Why does he do it? Because that's what little doggies do!
26* Yet another thing from the Final Chapter. As the Mino statue hangs in mid-air over Lynne, Yomiel tries to tell Sissel to just go back in time and see what they can do. Sissel responds by basically going "FUCK THAT", willing to do anything rather than let Lynne live with the memory of that death.
27* The ending. The moment when it shifts into the ghost world to show the Temsik shard in Sissel matched to the game's theme kicking back in just makes it all worthwhile.
28* [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue The credits showing the fates of all the cast we've come to know, love and hate throughout the entire game]], namely [[TheReveal the revelation]] to the player of Yomiel's redemption, when he finishes painting a picture of Sissel and thanks him as he reclaims his freedom with the woman he loves. Also doubles as an incredible SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
29* In the original timeline, Missile goes through the plot alone instead of working with Sissel. Despite his considerably less versatile power, he still manages to follow the plot all the way to the end. While he doesn’t manage to stop the pivotal event that’s responsible for the game by himself, he’s more than willing to wait ten years to find convince someone capable of fixing it with this timeline’s version of himself.
