Awesome / Buso Renkin

• At the beginning of the anime, after Mahiro gets eaten by Homunculus Mita. In the manga, Mita then eats Kazuki as well, only for said Hero to summon his lance and burst out, killing the snake from the inside. In the anime, Tokiko arrives before that can happen, summons her Valkyrie Skirt, and while hardly moving her own body, calmly and efficiently hacks him into pieces, almost literally dismantling Mita. Kazuki still gets his Big Damn Heroes moment later in the episode, though.
• The revelation that Captain Bravo's Buso Renkin is purely defensive. Meaning that all those rapid fire punches that can break through rock and punch holes in enemies is all under his own power.
• Gouta vs. Shinobu, where Gouta gets to show off what he can do with the Buso Renkin with the weakest attack power.
• One of the biggest critics of the show,is that the fights are ...lacking... in contrast to its stellar plot and characters.^note The way people us there Buso Renkin isn't very imaginative, and the fight choreography is sub par, fights become just two people using the same move over-and-over again. HOWEVER when this show gets a fight right, THEY DO A FIGHT RIGHT!!!
  • Kazuki vs. Captain Bravo. Best damn fight in the whole show.
    • To clarify, Kazuki's Lance upgrades into a smaller, more versatile, and much much more powerful version. Captain Bravo punches the water so hard he parts the ocean for as far as the eye can see. It goes to almost Dragon Ball Z levels of ludicrousness. And it is arguably the most satisfying part of the entire series.
  • The Absolute best fight in the show is Victor vs Kazuki! ^note Tokiko was there too
    • To begin with, this is what the entire L.X.E. Arc has been building up to; the mystery man in the flask, L.X.E. plan to have a big feast, and Kazuki's growth as a character/warrior.
    • Then there is the fight itself... the animation, the choreography, the story, the plot twist. In order to truly grasp how awesome this fight is, you have to watch it on episodes 14-15^note Which you can do FOR FREE, no dub though, subtitles only
• Near the end of the series, when he's faced with the choice of saving the world, or himself, Kazuki asks: "I'm going to protect everybody, but who's going to protect me?" Just before the Alchemist Army rescues Kazuki and Victor from space, there is a Call-Back to that line. Then Bravo tells Tokiko to go and use his Silver Skin to help Kazuki make it to the flying robot (It Makes Sense in Context), and gives the line "It's YOUR job to get him". We get our answer. And it is awesome.
  • Heartwarming too.
• Kazuki, riding on a rocket-powered lance, dragging Big Bad Victor to the moon.
  • He also had an earlier moment when he stopped an unblockable sword strike with his heart.
• Kazuki's Big Damn Heroes moment saving Tokiko. He ran nonstop from the school to the factory which was 30 minutes away.
