5	* For starters, any time you hear [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDs_PZaSkFo "Salva Nos"]], expect the awesome to commence.
6	** The first time it plays in the first episode, it's when Kirika is cleaning house on a group of guys who have Mireille dead to rights, with the last one getting his neck snapped ''with his own tie'' when she grabs it then jumps down to a lower level. Spatially it is a bit hard to follow, but it ''is'' hardcore.
7	* Kirika's fight in the third episode of ''Anime/{{Noir}}'' -- in which she manages to not only give an OffhandBackhand shot to an enemy behind her, but uses ''popcorn'' to find them -- was probably the moment we realized that she really was ''that good''. Mireille's expression at this is priceless. An appropriate tag to this scene via one website was "Kirika isn't a Ninja...she's a Witch."
8	* Other "holy frijoles" scenes includes her killing someone with objects such as sunglasses, student [=ID=]s, and toy trucks.
9	* Kirika shooting two mooks through a single gunshot hole yards away.
10	* Kirika facing about fifty [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs Triad]] gunmen in broad daylight with Chloe's help, with no cover.
11	* The time Kirika takes out a squad of soldiers by herself in a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown in the Soldats village is another impressive fight, though it's incredibly brutal and more disturbing than anything, involves her taking a hostage and using him as a HumanShield while she shoots the rest, and ends with her dispatching said shield with a shot to the head without even looking at him or missing a beat. Cripes.
12	* Though it's also a wince moment, Kirika's last fight with Chloe can be summed up in two words: Olive Fork.
13	* The entire final episode, when both girls show of their best stuff against the Soldat nuns, including one with a sword.
14	* Chloe walking into their flat, Mireille holding a gun on her and getting the viewers tensed for an action scene -- then Kirika asks: "Would you like some tea?" Mireille's expression is priceless -- but Chloe's politeness does not, however, stop Mireille carrying a 3-inch long fork up her sleeve -- with which to KILL Chloe if the latter ever let her guard down.
15	* Kirika being chased by a thug up the spiral staircase of a bell tower in Sicily. She kills him by tying a bell rope to her ankle, and diving down the center of the staircase, shooting him as she passes him in headlong flight. This is also the same thug who has broken both Kirika's hands, and she still manages to shoot, by tying the gun on her hand.
16	* In one scene where the girls are once again running from goons, Kirika gets shot in the arm and can't get her fingers to close around her gun handle (muscle and/or nerve damage preventing the motion from completing). A few seconds later, one of the goons goes down, and we see Kirika step into the scene, having ''tied her hand in place around the gun''.
17	* Chloe taking out Shaoli in a matter of seconds. Made more awesome by the buildup throughout the episode and the one before it establishing Shaoli as a badass.
18	* In episode 17, we have Mirielle hunting down and killing a sniper.
19	* A moment that takes place before the series... Odette's LastRequest for Kirika - ''that she shall take care of her daughter Mireille''. With these simple words, a non-combatant dead woman ''[[SpannerInTheWorks completely derails Les Soldats' plans]]'' in the long run.
