1* AnticlimaxBoss: Barbon in ''Project Y'', built up to be Electra's [[TheDragon right-hand man]], kicks down the door to his bar to confront the heroes...[[OneHitKO and gets defeated by one Grand Upper attack from Axel]]. [[spoiler:Also the titular villains in ''Sons of Darkness'']].
2* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Blaze has a dream in ''Project Y'' where she has rough sex with [[spoiler:Shiva]] at a bus stop in the rain, following which she gets consumed by her growing powers and proceeds to lay waste to everything in sight. Upon waking up, she concedes that it was a ''really'' messed-up dream, and it never gets referenced again for the rest of the saga (although it was partially influenced by her legitimate worry about whether she'd be able to control her developing KiManipulation). This infamous scene was eventually removed in the March 20th 2014 UpdatedRerelease of the saga.
3* EnsembleDarkhorse: [[VideoGame/{{Shinobi}} Joe Musashi]] is quite popular with fans of the saga, which in turn influenced his many recurring appearances [[spoiler:and his being one of two major characters to survive to the end of ''Behind the World'']].
4* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The very end of the saga reveals that Adam fathered a son with Jodie Kelly. This fanfic was written before ''Streets Of Rage 4'' introduced Adam's daughter Cherry, but unlike the fanfic Adam, who died before he could meet little Curtis, game-universe Adam is still alive to help Cherry out.
5* MoralEventHorizon:
6** Shiva has three moments that arguably qualify him as having crossed this line:
7*** In ''Project Y'', he engineers a plane crash in an attempt to kill Axel and Blaze, who are passengers on board. Both of them survive; many of the other passengers and crew don't.
8*** In ''The New Syndicate'', he unleashes a nuclear warhead that completely obliterates the city of London, killing at least several million in the process.
9*** The aforementioned gang-rape scenario in ''Duality''.
10** Enigma is already established as being a crazed murderer, but he most arguably crosses the point of no return when he [[spoiler:[[MindRape psychically compels Axel's sister Tina]] to commit suicide]].
