Awesome / Ronin Warriors

• The debut of the Inferno Armor.
• Talpa's second defeat.
• For the Yuli-haters, it's when Ryo slaps him across the face.
• Mia gets hers when she goes outside the city to search for the missing Sage at great risk to herself. Not even being under danger will deter her.
• The dub tends to hand Rowen lines that were shocking reveals in the original and it makes him come off as Captain Obvious, but there are a few instances where he just handles problems the smart way. At one point he gets attacked in a subway tunnel and avoids the conflict entirely by jumping out and hanging from the tunnel roof and letting the train carry the mooks away.
• Anubis calls forth his armor again. And proceeds to wreck the shit out of Talpa's plans. All of them.
  • Special thanks should go to White Blaze as well. While Anubis is dealing with his own means to escape the tower he was imprisoned in after he was captured with the Ronins and Dark Warlords by a Badamon-possessed Lady Kayura, when she's about to secure the Jewel of Life from Yuli and secure victory for Talpa, she has the Jewel for all of about a split-second upon clenching her hand over it, before the Near-Villain Victory is ripped away by White Blaze forcing her to let go of it to avoid a lunge from his paw. After which, he grabs the Jewel in his mouth and makes it clear that if Badamon-Kayura wants the Jewel, they'll have to Go Through Me, and makes certain to stall for as long as possible until Anubis arrives to save Kayura in a Heroic Sacrifice.
  • And that's exactly what Anubis does. After tanking Kayura's sure-kill attack, Star Sword Scream, he's still standing. Kayura has an Oh, Crap! reaction, but Badamon is unimpressed, scoffing that there is nothing Anubis can do to break his possession of Kayura. Unfortunately, he was Tempting Fate, and Anubis uses his Quake With Fear to turn Kayura's power back on her to help purge Badamon from her body. As he writhes in pain as he feels his hold on Kayura slipping away, Badamon yells "CURSE YOU, ANUBIS!!!" before the addition of Kayura being dressed in Anubis' armor fully purges Badamon from her body and he floats away and disappears, reappearing before a thoroughly-enraged Talpa over losing the Lone Survivor of the Ancient One's clan back to the side of good. At the cost of his life to save Kayura, Anubis knows it was Worth It.
• In Message, Sage's handling of Suzunagi demonstrates exactly why wisdom/grace is his virtue. He gets her to reveal her tragic backstory, legitimately sympathizes with it — and then lays out for her exactly why she's wrong in a Breaking Speech so effective it completely shatters her willpower. All without once lifting a finger to directly fight her (and in fact pointedly refusing to fight when she attempts to goad him into it).
