* In episode 20, the Deucalion pulls a massive BigDamnHeroes flying straight into the battlefield, shielding Inaho and Marito from the lightning Kataphrakt's attack, retrieving all the remaining Kataphrakt platoons while providing cover fire, and escaping the battlefield from the onslaught of THREE Martian Kataphrakts.

-->"Nothing can stop the rise of Count Troyard now."

* As of Episode 19, Slaine has amassed so much political power within the Vers Empire in such a short amount of time that even [[spoiler: Mazurek's allegations that he must have assassinated Saazbaum]] are dismissed off the bat. Count Barouhcruz lays the reality of their situation to him:

** Slaine [[spoiler:outsmarting Count Marylcian by luring him and his beam funnels into a narrow tunnel. This negates Marylcian's advantage of being able to attack from multiple directions simultaneously, and bunches all of the funnels together so Slaine can destroy them all at once. Slaine then kills Marylcian and seizes control of his assets.]]

* Episode 18: When dealing with a Knight whose Kataphract allows him to send out pin point BeamSpam to anyone in his vast range [[spoiler:the Deucalion uses Inaho eye's ability for pinpoint targeting to get the opponent's target and then positions at the curve of the planet outside his firing range bombard him.]]

* Episode 16: Marito has apparently overcome his PTSD and is able to pilot Kataphracts again. He even comes up with a way to defeat Count Mazuurek, with a little help from Inaho, who [[spoiler:snipes Mazuurek's Kataphract from orbit.]] On the Vers side, Slaine does what an entire Vers army couldn't do and [[spoiler:singlehandedly destroys Trident Base, simultaneously winning the respect of the regular Vers forces and silencing the Knights who oppose him.]]

** So yes, [[spoiler: Saazbaum was {{Chekhovs Gun}}ned down.]]

* Episode 15: During the battle between UFE and Vers forces, Inaho once again engages Slaine and actually manages to land a hit on the Tharsis. When Saazbaum enters the battle [[spoiler:Slaine leads him into a trap, by luring him into the path of a volley of bullets he had fired into Earth's orbit 24 hours ahead of time. Then, right before Saazbaum is destroyed, Slaine gives an epic TheReasonYouSuck speech to him, telling him how he had never intended to follow him anyways. Afterwards, Slaine takes advantage of [[KlingonPromotion Saazbaum's death to take his position as a Count.]] It looks like Slaine has finally taken a level in magnificent bastardy.]]

* Episode 14: Inaho decimates Stygis platoon, landing shots on them with pinpoint accuracy despite the AsteroidThicket's gravitational distortions (and the solar wind) throwing off everyone's aim. And then he duels Slaine, in a battle of [[ImprobableAimingSkills pinpoint accuracy]] [[CoolVersusAwesome versus]] [[CombatClairvoyance precognitive evasion.]] The icing on the cake is the use of "No Differences", a song that really highlights how Slaine and Inaho - and by extension, Vers and Earth - aren't really as different as they think.

* Inaho in Episode 13. When he confronts Frozen Elysium, which freezes everything around it in a one kilometer radius, Inaho methodically fires various rounds of ammunition at it to see what works, and discovers that extreme freezing temperatures will actually deflect bullets fired from long range. He then comes up with a plan to fire a chain of airburst grenades and fly through the explosions so that the heat from the blasts keeps his Kataphract from freezing. He then he closes to point blank range on Frozen Elysium and destroys it.

* In episode 5 we see exactly why Slaine is that devoted to Asseylum. [[spoiler: Five years before, she cheerfully [[KissOfLife saved him from dry-drowning]]. [[NervesOfSteel Without any hesitation]].]]

** Combines with TearJerker, but when Slaine threatens Inaho not to get closer to Seylum, he turns around and ''smirks'' at his enemy before pulling his own gun, knowing he was going to die anyway.

* Inaho using his collected knowledge and experience to completely demolish Saazbaum in a straight up fight. And he would have won too, if it weren't for [[spoiler:Slaine's interference.]]

** That same episode has yet ''another'' villainous moment for Saazbaum, [[spoiler: after Slaine riddles him with bullets thanks to him shooting Asseylum, Saazbaum ''still'' has the massive balls to [[GoOutWithASmile smile at Slaine]] and [[DefiantToTheEnd tap his own forehead, daring him to finish him off.]]]]

* On the initial assault on Saazbaum's Landing Castle, Inaho basically clears out all of the anti-air defenses singlehandedly.

** And then [[spoiler: When Saazbaum prevents the Princess from making her drop, Magbaredge has the ''Deucalion itself'' crash land into the Landing Castle]].
