• Laura busting Shadow out of the train car he's being held in, effortlessly killing all the guards.
  • Stabbing Loki through her own body.
• Sam's "I believe" speech.
• Shadow stepping into the middle of the climactic battle and revealing Odin's whole plot, causing all of them to immediately turn around and go home.
• Wututu, twelve years old and terrified, being transported on a slave ship to an unknown destination, successfully bluffs a would-be rapist into leaving her alone.
• From The Monarch of The Glens, Grendel's Mother warns Smith that Shadow is not to be touched. One line in particular, stands out.
