Episode 1 (Dingle Dangle)
- Despite how gruesome the event was, Catt's swift handling of Dingle Dangle and Mercy Kill of Parker quickly establishes them as a solid badass in the Disciplinary Team.
Episode 2- 3 (My Sweet Home)
- Taii, who until now had seemed like a nice, polite clerk, manages to keep their wits about them and pull off a clean headshot right through the Abnormality-fused Narae, to the amazement of both Rose and Catt, who had clearly not expected a simple clerk to be able to stand their ground against a rampaging Abnormality.
Episode 4- 5 (White Lake)
- In Episode 4, Rose is cornered by White Lake, their arms being forcibly converted into wings while the Abnormality mocks them. What do they do? Grab hold of the encroaching feathers and rip them out of their own arms! All while boasting about how they'll break the wings they're given and stand on their own.
Episode 8- 9 (Tangle)
- Just when it seems like they're about to be overtaken by Tangle's hair, they manage to get ahold of their E.G.O. blade right in the nick of time and slice through Tangle and its hair.
Episode 10- 15 (The Road Home, Scaredy Cat)
- When The Road Home begins breaching, Joe makes the immediate decision to go after the most immediate threat, Scaredy Cat, and holds their own quite well. Though short, their fight with the Abnormality before it teleports away is very impressive. Especially since they barely even pay any mind when Scaredy Cat lands a blow on their arm.
- Catt leaps into battle with both Scaredy Cat and The Road Home without hesitation, even before Taii and Rose take on the battle with Scaredy Cat. Catt shows no hesitation in fighting The Road Home, even after their E.G.O. suit is torn to shreds by her damage trail. They hack and slash relentlessly at her no matter the damage, until she's finally worn down to death (or as close to it as an Abnormality can get at least).
- Taii and Rose getting to show off the full power of their E.G.O. is supremely impressive. Taii disappearing into a cloud of pink smoke as they perform rapid slashes from every angle on Scaredy Cat, and Rose arming themself with large bird claw gauntlets, which at one point they use to rip Scaredy Cat's head in half.
Episode 16- 21 (Hookah Caterpillar)
- For how powerful the Hookah Caterpillar is, Finn actually manages to get a few hits in on it. And with the special E.G.O. meant to protect against its smoke, they take minimal damage from facing it.
- Episode 21 gives us a firsthand look at just how impressive the Rabbit Team is in action. They jump out of the WARP pad guns blazing, ready to mow down anything that moves. Even an Abnormality as deadly as the Hookah Caterpillar can only withstand their attacks for so long. While even the strongest characters in the comic could initially only defeat it after losing nearly an entire department's worth of people, the Rabbit Team just about instantly wears the Caterpillar down to nothing by the sheer volume and intensity of attacks.
Episode 23- 29 (The Servant of Wrath)
- At the moment Daisy is about to get serious and attack Pygmalion with all they have, the Servant of Wrath swoops in and delivers a sound Curb Stomp to the other Abnormality and overwhelm it with her acid attacks.
- The climactic battle of the arc is the first time we get to see all of the Department Heads in action, and they make it fully clear exactly why they're the ones in charge of their teams. Between Shasha and Joe's impressive teamwork and strength, Daisy's sharpshooting, Beebi's raw nerve and determination, and Suho's cool head and strategic logic under pressure, they're able to dispatch the Servant of Wrath and end her rampage without so much as a scratch.
Episode 30- 34 (Titania, Nobody Is)
- Catt makes themself a distraction for Rose and Taii so they can run past the emerged Nobody Is. Even without any E.G.O, Catt is running circles around an ALEPH Abnormality, while bluntly stating "[they] won't die" to the other two.
- Al showing up and declaring that they'll hold off Nobody Is so that Rose, Catt, and Taii can escape counts. Even though they inevitably are assimilated into it, the final panel of them preparing for their one-on-one battle with Nobody Is is very cool looking.
Episode 36- 39 (Blue-Smocked Shepherd, Reddened Buddy)
- This arc is where Taii really shows how much they've grown. While performing Repression Work on the Shepherd, they're utterly stoic, only speaking to tell the Shepherd that what they're saying is a lie. Then, once the Shepherd finally attempts to breach containment, the ensuing fight is a complete Curb-Stomp Battle on Taii's part, as they slice through the Shepherd's body without getting a single scratch.
Episode 48- 53 (A Party Everlasting)
- Ella in Episode 52 does a fairly good job of holding their own against the Abnormalities surrounding them until Finn forces them to retreat into a Containment Unit they'd taken refuge in together with Flower. And even with their backs up against the wall, Finn continues to try and keep everyone's spirits up, prepared to go down fighting until the end.
- During Episode 53, not only has Taii managed to awaken their E.G.O (and subsequently Rose's soul within the Staining Rose E.G.O it's based upon) through the sheer determination to save Catt at any cost, but they also managed to restore Catt from their Distortion (even if it was only temporarily).
- Even before that, while they're striding through the facility to find the Distorted Catt, all of the other Abnormalities do nothing but hide in the background and whisper about them, not even daring to get in their path.My Sweet Home: I know that one, I know that one.White Lake: That peasantnote from before.The Road Home: Wearing the shell of the Rose!
- Even before that, while they're striding through the facility to find the Distorted Catt, all of the other Abnormalities do nothing but hide in the background and whisper about them, not even daring to get in their path.
