* The series being loaded with awesome female characters, any occurrence of girls fighting, alongside or against each other, without anyone pulling any punches. This troper particularly cheered at the Ryouko (in a school uniform, using her bare fists) vs Amanae (in an elegant skirt and heels, swinging a friggin' CHAIN) fight in the fifth and last volume of ''Spiral Alive''.

* The manga has quite a few more [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome Crowning Moments of Awesome]], though the two listed above were, indeed, awesome. Kanone has one later in when [[spoiler:he lets Hizumi kill him, to accomplish three things: [[ScrewDestiny Screw Destiny]], something he's been trying to do since he showed up, pull a very impressive [[MindScrew Mind Screw]] on Hizumi, and give Ayumu "hope" (something he's usually in desperate need of).]]

** ''Futhermore'', Ryoko speculates that he practiced the whole thing ahead of time. Eyes knows that Ryoko hates him and would refuse to join up with him, so Eyes ''must have investigated ahead of time.'' He must have guessed that Ryoko would challenge him to a game to get him to back off, so he snooped around ahead of time in order to figure out ''which'' game Ryoko would challenge him to (she's undefeated at this), and so worked out a strategy and practiced his parabolic throw beforehand-- he's a musician, after all, not an athlete.

* When Eyes outsmarted Ryoko in a game of dodge ball. It would d take a long time to explain his strategy here. So see for yourself how awesome Eyes was in episode 15.
** All you really need to know is, basically, he won a game of dodgeball in one move with "''logic''".

* When Eyes outsmarted outsmarting Ryoko in a game of dodge ball. It would d take a long time to explain his strategy here. So see for yourself how awesome Eyes was in episode 15.
** All you really need to know is, basically, he won a
special game of dodgeball the jocks at Tsukiomi High School play. This is a little convoluted to explain, so it will be done in one move bullet points. Let's go.
** First, the game itself. Player 1 is given three soft, rubbery balls in order to hit Player 2 with. Each ball is in play until it touches the ground. When Eyes asks Ryoko to join forces
with "''logic''".him, Ryoko challenges him to this game because it's a test of motor skills, not planning and counter-planning, giving her the advantage. Eyes retorts that it actually is more of a chess game.
** Eyes then announces that he won't insult Ryoko's skill by using the most basic strategy-- using his first two throws to knock her off-balance and then tag her with the third. He then goes on to announce that he will tag her with the first ball he throws.
** Ryoko immediately sets to figuring out his strategy. She concludes that his first throw will be directly into the air above him, and will be intended as a distraction-- by announcing that he plans to tag her with the first ball, he forces her to focus on that ball, and can ''then'' knock her off balance with the remaining two while she's paying attention to it. Furthermore, he can then ''catch'' the first ball, and then use ''it'' to tag her, thereby fulfilling his prediction that he will tag her with the first ball.
** So Ryoko pays no attention to the first ball that Eyes throws upwards, focusing entirely on him. She taunts him that she saw through his strategy, but Eyes contradicts her: "Checkmate." All of a sudden, the ball tags Ryoko on the back of her shoulder.
** Eyes ''did'' throw the ball upward, ''but'' he threw it at an angle. By announcing he'd tag Ryoko with the first ball, he anticipated that she'd anticipate his strategy, and thus forced her to ''not'' pay attention to the ball she thought he expected her to pay attention to. By forcing her to focus on him in order to thwart his supposed strategy, Eyes turned Ryoko from a moving target in a test of motor skills into a ''fixed'' target in a test of planning and counter-planning.
** ''Futhermore'', Ryoko speculates that he practiced the whole thing ahead of time. Eyes knows that Ryoko hates him and would refuse to join up with him, so Eyes ''must have investigated ahead of time.'' He must have guessed that Ryoko would challenge him to a game to get him to back off, so he snooped around ahead of time in order to figure out ''which'' game Ryoko would challenge him to (she's undefeated at this game), and so worked out a strategy and practiced his parabolic throw ahead of time-- he's a musician, after all, not an athlete.

* Rio in ''{{Spiral}}'' is introduced with a string of these. First, she lures a teacher to his death (thanks to AdaptationDecay, either by falling down and stabbing him when he helps her up, or packing a sloped room with melting dry ice and watching him suffocate at the bottom while she stayed clear of the fumes at the top). Then, she builds a bomb, hides it in a stuffed toy, and brings it up to the room where the GreatDetective already expects her to kill his {{Sidekick}}--only, instead of building a bomb big enough to kill, it's only enough to seriously injure herself and obscure the distinct physical marking that would identify her as the killer. Finally, when they approach her in the hospital, she's prepared a game: by blowing herself up, she's established herself as reckless and willing to throw her life away. So she tells him that the winner will be the one who can believe in himself, and her companion brings in two glasses of water. She says that one contains an extremely bitter poison called Strychnine, and the other plain sugar; as the two are identical, she doesn't know which is which. She and [[GreatDetective Ayumu]] must each drink one, and whoever lives is the winner. Ayumu seemingly identifies the trick, and claims they're both sugar... but the water in his glass is bitter, and it barely touched his tongue. While he's going through his HeroicBSOD, she calmly drains her glass and her companion notes for the audience's convenience that Rio was correct about the winner needing to believe in their abilities: there really was no poison; it was just an extremely bitter cold medicine.

* Eyes' awesomeness knows no boundaries. There was one time and a hunter was going to kill him during a concert and Ayumu figured out it was a sniper attack, telling eyes to delay the show by five minutes while he and Kousuke incapacitate the hunter. What does Eyes do? Start the show two minutes early with a performance involving a lot of candles around him. So the heat rising will distort the hunter's vision from sniping. This also serves as a distraction so Ayumu and Kousuke could attack the hunter easier.
