* The prototype Storm Regalia has been critically damaged, all seems lost. What is Ikki's response? [[http://www.mangareader.net/137-57522-17/air-gear/chapter-287.html Let the]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/137-57522-18/air-gear/chapter-287.html Regalia Hunt begin!]]

* Fat, perverted loser Onigiri's first, and for a long time only, CrowningMomentOfAwesome came when, during his fight with Ryo Mimasaka, he, while paralyzed by her abilities, gave her a speech so enlightening and inspirational, it liberated her mind and her true self was made apparent to her. As it turns out, she'd "Spent my entire life fooling myself into thinking I had fangs." She was so elated to feel as free as she did that she ''took all of her clothes off'' (he helped her work out her body issues, too) and started shouting to the heavens about "freedom." He did that just by ''talking to her'' for about ''one minute.'' He defeated his enemy with ''sincerity'', turning the tide against Behemoth and scoring an essential win.

* Kilik [[spoiler: neutralising the BrainwashedAndCrazy Rika and thus undoing Sora's BatmanGambit centered on how Rika's pregnancy ''with Sora's own kid'' would keep people from attacking her and thus opposing him. And ''then'', he takes the Sky Regalia and fires it at Sora.]]
* Sora reveals during his battle with Ikki that during every single battle that he has every been in, [[spoiler: he never had his A-Ts turned on. Meaning he didn't need their power to get that strong.]]
** [[spoiler: In return, Ikki shows just how much stronger he has gotten to the point that Sora fearfully acknowledges Ikki has surpassed him in that battle alone. Thus making him need to use his contingency plan that is meant to kill Rika and their ''child'' by overloading her Regalia. To answer that, Ikki shows that he knew Sora would do something along those lines and gave Ringo the Storm Regalia, to counter whatever plan he has. '''''EVERYONE''''' thought that Ikki had the Regalia on the entire time. Showing these two know how to play a mean game of XanatosSpeedChess.]]
** [[spoiler:Also in that battle: Sora was using the Wind Regalia, which incorporated twenty other Regalias, making them far superior to all other A-Ts with the exception of the Sky and Storm Regalias. Ikki was wearing ''normal A-Ts'' and still beat him.]]
** Ringo was always a badass but the final fight with Sora took her to the next level. [[spoiler: She on the fly learns how to use the Storm Regalia and proceeds to channel and mimic the runs of every king whose regalia was incorporated into the Storm Regalia, all to stop Rika from self-destructing.]] Doing all of this stuns even Dr. Minami, who is so bewildered because that's not why he created the regalia for.

* The Ikki vs Ringo fight. Before that, you always knew that Ringo was an extremely skilled rider, but you never see her actually fight anyone who required more than a single punch to defeat. Then, she cuts off the weights that Ikki had always worn (including during his battle with Behemoth and when he made the Devil's 33 jump), letting him run faster than he's ever run before. She then proceeds to outpace him and utterly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] him. And then, after he got the Wind Regalia and they shattered, releasing horrendous levels of force, she stopped it all with a single attack.

** Then, much later, Nike hits Onigiri's BerserkButton. While Onigiri doesn't beat Nike, he puts up a good fight and never gives in. I repeat, the ''weakest'' member of Kogarasumaru can held his own against TheDragon!
