Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

  • In the Lighthouse level, Shanoa is chased all the way to the top of the lighthouse by a giant crab that just won't die. There's nothing at the top but a big elevator and, of course, nowhere left to run. So what does she do? Jump in the elevator and toss a one-liner. The elevator then proceeds to drop down to the bottom, taking the crab with it, with massive amounts of blood spraying in all directions before finally crushing the boss into paste. Considering this is one of the more annoying bosses for new players, this probably got a bit of a HELL YEAH.
    • Play Albus mode and he throws a one-liner of his own when he flips the switch.
  • On the path to the True Ending, Shanoa firmly shuts Barlowe down. Despite having no emotions to enhance her speech to him, her accusations of his lying is still glorious
    Barlowe: ...What? Second thoughts? You fought so hard for this...
    Shanoa: I promised Albus. I'm never using Dominus
    Barlowe: You promised him? He must have lied to you...
    • Even without her emotions, her last line before Barlowe reveals himself shows she CAN still be sarcastic and probably mirrors how the player feels now that they too know the truth:
      Shanoa: And you also neglected to tell me that using Dominus would kill me. Would you care to explain that, "Master"?
  • Shanoa got her real CMOA upon reaching the castle:
    Shanoa: I am the morning sun, come to vanquish this horrible night! (Also a Shout-Out back to Simon's Quest)
    • Especially considering everything that happened before. She lost most of her friends, found out the true reason for Ecclesia, and found out that she was a Tyke Bomb. Then she finally reaches Castlevania and prepares to finish her mission while her theme, An Empty Tome plays in the background.
    • The Final Boss fight with Dracula. First, he has no One-Winged Angel form; instead, he just goes polygonal, walks around, and beats the crap out of you. Second, instead of having 6666 HP like he usually does, he instead has 9999 of it.
  • Shanoa, not a Belmont or even allied with any holy powers at all, losing everything she has in the world and still kicking Dracula's ass WITH HIS OWN POWER.
    • And what's more...she did it while still under the impression that using Dominus would kill her...and she did it without hesitation OR regret for that choice.
