* Oz's first battle against Yuri. Though a sparring match, it establishes their fighting styles impressively, with Oz's FragileSpeedster style with copious SpontaneousWeaponCreation proving to be more than a match for Yuri's [[MightyGlacier slow, strong]] and [[LadyOfWar graceful]] sword-and-board. The fight ends in a tie, with both combatants developing a respect for one another.
* As Oz is about to jump out of the Val Gate, his conversation with Thor foreshadows the [[SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate overarching themes of the story]].
--> '''Thor:''' Just step out of that gate, and your fate is in your hands.
--> '''Oz:''' Yeah, as long as Odin agrees. [[YouCannotFightFate We can only hope that my victory is what's preordained]].
--> '''Thor:''' Hope is important, but if you don't try, it is meaningless.
* Oz deducing that, rather than breaking free himself, Fenrir was broken out of Gleipnir by an outsider.
* Oz's battle against the Hel's Angel mages - both for the teamwork displayed by the mages, and Oz showing his knack for tactics even when outnumbered six-for-one.
** The moment where he gets the upper hand deserves mention. Flying into their ranks, Oz slashes them up with a dagger, dropping multiple [[MakeSomeNoise Galan]] grenades into their formation before dropping a [[ShockAndAwe Bladesung]] bomb to detonate all the sound blasters at once. The enemies are left stunned, allowing Oz to beseech Thor to unleash his [[DeathFromAbove Sky Hammer]] spell, knocking all but one of them out at once.
* Thor points out how

* Oz's battle against Fenrir. While Fenrir is de-powered in his current state, he's still powerful enough that Oz has a genuine struggle against him, and there's a clear sentiment that Oz would ''not'' have done well at all against a prime Fenrir.
** Thor notes that Fenrir can devour anything in his jaws. As if to demonstrate, Fenrir eats Oz's grenade, completely {{no sell}}ing it.
** Fenrir attempts to deconstruct Oz's motives, demanding to know why he puts so much effort into defending Odin. Oz has none of it, defiantly declaring, "[[ForGreatJustice Because defend is simply what I do!]]".
** Fenrir tears chunks out of a house and fires them at Oz like a machine gun, while Oz finally takes to the skies to finally attack. He finally manages to land a ''Flan'' grenade, the one that Fenrir ate beforehand, creating a glowing green reticle that essentially turns his attacks into {{Critical Hit}}s. He fires with both guns before activating [[SacredBowAndArrows Sanctum Sagitta]] and going to town on him.
** The final clash involves Fenrir firing a flaming KamehameHadoken. Oz, though terrified, doesn't
* Oz successfully redeeming Fenrir by showing him kindness and giving him a chance. Though he is still grateful to the Hel's Angels, he honours Oz as well by leaving the conflict entirely. A bit of FridgeBrilliance makes this more awesome in retrospect - in doing this, Oz ''may'' have

* Oz finding holes in Svafrlami's story about the witch and calling him out on it, even if he almost gets impaled for his trouble. Given the whole mission later turns out to have been a farce so Svafrlami could get revenge, Oz was retroactively right to smell a rat. He later resolves to make his own judgement on the situation, showing that he's actively planning on potentially double-crossing Svafrlami, completely bypassing any ToBeLawfulOrGood dilemmas by picking Good before the issue even comes up.
--> '''Oz:''' As a knight, I'll do what's right.

--> '''Svafrlami:''' You asked me 'you and what army' earlier, correct? What you failed to understand is that [[OneManArmy I am an army unto myself]]!
* Oz deduces that the witch is more trustworthy than Svafrlami, and as such when the latter shows up, he stands up for her, directly challenging Svafrlami and mashing his BerserkButton in the process. Realising he's unable to get Oz to oppose, let alone kill the witch, Svafrlami convinces his hunters that she's brainwashed him, kickstarting the ClimaxBoss of the arc.
** Oz fights against eight hunters at once, and while they give him more trouble than the mages from earlier did, he still manages to win. He mentally narrates that eight-on-one isn't fair, before remarking "Thank goodness Svafrlami was there to level the playing field.". His performance in the fight itself shows this wasn't an exaggeration - Svafrlami applying {{Status Buff}}s and supportive magic was clearly the only
*** Oz throws himself in the middle of their melee attacks, dodging them perfectly even as Svafrlami buffs their speed. Then, in a single stroke, he disarms two of them before escaping.
*** Later, he uses electricity to boost his speed, rushing through them and delivering DeathOfAThousandCuts with a pair of sabres, successfully downing three of them in a single burst.

** In response, Oz asserts that Svafrlami isn't wrong, but doesn't back down, showing impressive amounts of determination.
*** The ensuing fight is utterly one-sided in Svafrlami's favour, as Oz is thoroughly outmatched in every aspect except speed - thus creating a villainous example as the archangel shows off how smart he can be. Svafrlami starts by creating a StormOfBlades between them, and simply watches as Oz navigates his way through it. Once he does, they clash, and Svafrlami shows off the might of his RunicMagic - first by turning his greatsword into a FlamingSword, then by creating [[MakingASplash a rapid stream of water on the ground]], throwing Oz off his balance, and lastly by boosting his own strength, lifting Oz up, and throwing him ''into'' the still-present blade-storm. Without any options to defend himself, Oz is cut up and almost passes out from his wounds, and Svafrlami prepares to deal the finishing blow.
*** Oz's performance here is not to be overlooked, however, and through grit, speed and quick thinking, he manages to turn what should have been a CurbStompBattle into a CurbStompCushion. He successfully dodges every sword in the Brand spell, takes Svafrlami by surprise by teleporting in front of him, and manages to hold onto enough willpower that he makes a sword pun as a response to Svafrlami's taunt. Once he reaches Svafrlami, he lands a few hits, and manages to dodge him even while his balance is threatened by the stream. Even after being cut up and on the brink of unconsciousness, he dedicates what he assumes to be his last words to [[DefiantToTheEnd robbing Svafrlami of any satisfaction he would have gotten from the kill]], royally pissing him off and stripping away his sadistic demeanour.
--> '''Svafrlami:''' I've been wanting to do this for a long, ''long'' time. You may spend your final moments wallowing in your regrets.
--> '''Oz:''' I...have ''[[IRegretNothing none]]''.
* Seeing Svafrlami about to kill Oz, the witch decides enough is enough and protects him with a barrier, sending Svafrlami absolutely raving mad as he desperately tries to stab Oz. Having taken an interest in the angel, she declares that she won't let Svafrlami kill him, and as Svafrlami insists it's none of her business, she all but reveals her identity and one-shots him as he charges at her. The result is an absolutely miserable Svafrlami trudging away from the scene, cursing both her name and Oz's.
--> '''[[VillainousBreakdown Svafrlami]]:''' [[IllKillYou I'll
--> '''Witch:''' Have you forgotten already? This ''became'' my business the moment you stepped [[GodWasMyCopilot into my temple]].

--> '''Anwin:''' [[AboveGoodAndEvil Good, bad, it's all relative]]. Just gotta do what you've gotta do.
* After being decommissioned for five days thanks to Svafrlami's attempt to kill him, Oz enters his office again, fully expecting to be attacked again, just so he can verify if he's still employed. Unfortunately for him, Svafrlami still has plans to deal with him, but the sheer lack of fear he displays is worthy of note.
* Oz fighting [[MonsterClown Biff and Chip]], narrowly dodging their invisible knife strikes before he lets Biff hit him so that he can grab Chip, completely throwing off their combined attack pattern. He pulls him into a waltz before attacking him, and after defeating him, proceeds to make short work of Biff.
** At the start of the battle, Biff and Chip declared they would be playing a game of "Pin the Knife in the Angel". Oz proceeds to beat them at this by making sure the finishing blow to both clowns is done with a knife, and since they're Hel's Angels, he's played their game in every sense.

They make a rather effective duo even

* Oz and Anwin's duel. After a heartwarming and then tear-jerking prelude, the two of them get serious and fight one another, each one wowed by the new elements of the other's fighting style. It makes for one hell of a formerly friendly reunion, as the two of them accept that they are on opposite sides.
** Anwin shows signs of improvement from his earlier bout with Svafrlami, and Myriad Might seems to have granted him SummonMagic. He shows this off by summoning a flaming tiger and siccing it on Oz, allowing it to do the brunt of the work while he supports it from afar.
*** Oz isn't too frightened, though, and takes on the tiger like a champ, throwing a ''Galan'' into the air and ducking and rolling from one of its attacks so that it stuns the tiger. Now on its side, he hits it with a ''Flan'', slashes it with a pair of {{kukris|AreKool}} and stabs it in the side with a rapier, finishing it off with a blast of lightning.
** Anwin's great leonine fireball from his fight with Svafrlami returns - and this time, not only is it alive, but it ''explodes''.
** Though reeling from the explosion, Oz uses it to his advantage so he can win the fight, throwing multiple ''Berstan'' grenades into it before it hits him and creating a crapton of smoke. He uses this to create a SmokeShield and charge up his power before shooting out of the cloud with ''greatly'' enhanced speed, closing the gap between himself and Anwin and slashing him repeatedly with a pair of sacred daggers. This move wears Anwin out enough to surrender.
--> '''Oz:''' Face the twin blades of truth, and the armaments of lies - their faces equal but opposite. With these blades, I tear the masks we unconsciously wear, and break away from the false self! Sica Scintilla!

* Siegfried in general. Consider this: He fights on equal footing with Azrael, Azazel, and Uriel. The latter three are otherworldly beings with supernatural powers and weapons that wouldn't look out of place in a heroic legend. All training aside, Siegfried is just [[BadassNormal a dude with a sword]].

* Odin and Angrboda's fight. Truly the best duel in the whole book, even if it's the first thing you read about. It's on a scale that no other battle in the book even grasps. Highlights include Odin killing Angrboda's golem in one slash, Angrboda ''throwing'' a black hole at him, and Odin creating a time field to make the battle last technically 3 seconds.

* Azazel is the embodiment of BewareTheSillyOnes. He may be a ditzy LargeHam who lets his scythe do the thinking most of the time, but he has incredible fighting prowess which he ''will'' demonstrate at any time. He's also the only member of the trio to have an S rank in an attacking stat, and to have both solid offense and defense. He's basically an InUniverse GameBreaker.
