Though this is a Murder Mystery game, it is also a detective game, and as per the genre, there are moments that can impress a viewer.
- Chapter 0, despite being rattled from losing his memories, everyone else on the train being dead, and being thrown to the wolves of facing the Peacekeepers, after some help from Shinigami, Yuma manages to already understand for the most part how solving mysteries in the Mystery Labyrinth goes and uses them to solve his way out of his predicament, subtle foreshadowing to how Yuma's no ordinary detective.
- Halara’s combative saves throughout the game, which are all hard to dismiss or look away from. They show off their combat capabilities four total times.
- The first time, Halara shows up from who knows where, finding Yuma who knows how, and sends a 1-shien coin to distract the Peacekeeper about to attack Yuma for his intervention. After throwing the coin at the Peacekeeper's head, Halara has an opening to knock out the one blocking their way before jumping up and kicking the attacking Peacekeeper directly in the face, then rushing around and punching out every other remaining one. Then after all the chaos, Halara picks up the coin and pretends nothing happened, glaring at Yuma and telling him off for having “a reckless sense of justice.”
- The second time, Halara is called out to by Yuma after advising him that they’ll come to his aid when asked, responding with a Pre-Asskicking One-Liner and falling down from, yet again, who knows where. Then Halara knocks out the Peacekeepers surrounding Yuma, dashing around and kicking down the rest, even kicking one so far that they end up falling into the water nearby. After that, Halara, once again, pretends nothing happened and acquires their signature red lollipop, calmly assuring Yuma afterward that they did promise they’d come for him when asked to.
- The third time, though it’s not as excessive, Halara kicks a Peacekeeper out of the way just as Yuma is about to be punched down by Dominic at Guillaume’s request, telling her to stop the confrontation, after being presumed dead for the whole of Chapter 3; this act of Halara’s also serves as the reintroduction to the agency following said presumed death. However, not only that, but after doing so, they and Desuhiko leave the building with a leap out of the open window, guiding Guillaume to the true culprits of the case and exposing their guilt with the rest of the agency.
- The fourth and final time, Halara, once again, returns with the 1-shien coin from the first battle against the Peacekeepers, once again using it for Yuma’s sake. The coin hits one of the Peacekeepers next to Yomi, to his confusion, and Halara emerges from the dark hallway with Vivia next to them. Halara tells Vivia that he has to pay them 100 shien per each Peacekeeper to do all the combat work, to which he decides to help Halara out anyway. Unlike the first two battles involving large groups, however, Halara is overwhelmed and struggles to take them all on, especially in the enclosed space, but their ability to save Yuma, Desuhiko, and Fubuki regardless still makes the defense worth the effort.
- Though it's more of a background detail, Halara's flawless athleticism while in the Mystery Labyrinth during Chapter 1 is impressive to watch. The initial fall may have caught them off-guard, of course, but the stunts performed in the Mystery Labyrinth are far too dexterous to ignore and show that Halara isn't fooling around with their capabilities. To contextualize, Halara crouches down to stay stable on a spinning platform, lands feet first after falling upwards from the replica clocktower, and whenever they fall down into one of the four locked-room mystery replicas, they use purely their leg strength to land and aren't affected by the height of the fall at all.
- After Halara gives their Dynamic Entry by means of kicking down a nearby Peacekeeper, following their time in Chapter 3 being presumed dead along with the rest of the NDA, Guillaume Hall is guided to the true culprits of the case as the means of their return to the story. The NDA describe in absolute detail with a tone of absolute justice who the true culprits are, Icardi specifically, after uncovering their true responsibility in the case with the help of Vivia, having already arrested them in advance, encountering those culprits committing their crime in action by seeing them steal the safes from Kanai Ward's banks. After their performance, they then lend the culprits for Guillaume to deal with later, taking Yuma, Fubuki, and Kurumi with them and leaving the case behind with everything resolved and the agency alive. Well, until Yomi comes back and tries to arrest Yuma for his role as a Fall Guy in the case, that is.
- After spending the last two cases hesitant to seek the truth knowing that the culprits (who with the exception of fake Zilch, had some measure of sympathy) would die once the Mystery Labyrinth was destroyed, seeing Yuma decide enough was enough and ensure Icardi would be punished for his crimes is quite satisfying. Especially as at first Yuma is hesitant, but once Icardi tries to convince him Shachi had to die for this, Yuma knows he's full of crap and makes sure justice is served.
- Halara telling off Vivia in Chapter 4 for wasting away his Astral Projection to hide the truth, despite the NDA being in their Darkest Hour. After Vivia having avoided being called out for his apathy in prior moments, this can be satisfying to watch, even if Halara says it more as motivation more than anything else."If no one else is willing to say it, then I will warn you. It's a sin to waste such a talent given to you. You are skilled as a detective... However, you lack the willpower to make use of it. Why is that? Are you afraid of something? Or perhaps you are laughing at the rest of us."
- Makoto and Martina uniting together take down Yomi just as he's about to gun down Yuma and Vivia in Dr. Huesca's critical lab. Makoto intervenes the situation with a file of trades that he had found in Yomi's room, while Martina applies the common jurisdiction rights to him as the justification to arrest him with, which serves as a fitting counterargument against him since he transformed Kanai Ward to work against those rights, and due to being considered a criminal by those common rights, he desperately declares bloody murder and promises that he'll return eventually as his Peacekeeper henchmen take him away.
- The Reveal contextualizes who the Player Character of the game really is. It turns out we haven't been playing as detective-in-training "Yuma Kokohead", but instead have been playing as the rumoured Number One of the WDO, the top detective in the organization, this entire time. Even better is the plot-specific plan that Number One used to hide this identity, masking his Coalescence and erasing his memories of his true self with Shinigami, and setting up a Body Double that convinced the NDA it was the real Number One.
- Makoto is the one who brought the Master Detectives to Kanai Ward as part of his agenda to become the city's overall ruler, while the detectives and the player were none the wiser, effectively making him the reason the entire game happens.
- Shinigami literally kicking her way into the corner of the Mystery Labyrinth Yuma has locked himself into a Heroic BSoD state in, then wrestling him back into full consciousness.
- The entire Final Boss battle shows why Yuma is Number One of the WDO. It's essentially a weaponized Deduction Denouement and Role-Reversal Boss of a Reasoning Death Match where you are the one throwing statements, and since they're all factually true, Makoto has to stand there and take them. This eventually culminates in several Quick Time Events where you cut the button prompts themselves, a quick return of GOD Shinigami to shut down a One-Winged Angel attempt, and by the end of it Makoto is in such a Villainous BSoD his noise statements can't even make it all the way to you (though that last one is more sad than awesome).
