* When Kazuo Kiriyama, the unstoppable killing machine armed with more guns than the Terminator, who took down more students than anyone else, and even managed to survive a high speed car chase where his vehicle flipped over and was riddled with bullets, is taken down by a single shot to the forehead by Noriko, who, up to that point, [[TheChick hadn't been very action oriented]].

** He also shoulder-checks Kiriyama while giving him one hell of a DeathGlare, showing zero fear. This is even more badass when we learn that Shogo's game had a 'volunteer' similar to Kiriyama (whom Shogo quite possibly killed himself). He knows exactly why Kiriyama is here and is disgusted by him.

* An off-screen (or off-page, as the case may be) badass moment occurs before the beginning of the story when the loudest of the bullies attempts to intimidate the newly transferred Shogo Kawada, completely unaware he is BullyingTheDragon. No one knows what happened next but Kawada did something to the bully that had him running back to Kiriyama in tears with his tail between his legs.

* A major one for Kiriyama near the end of the film. Despite being blown up, he still comes out of the flames looking like a massive badass. Whilst he proves to be rather easily defeated afterwards (the explosion had blinded him, after all), the shot of him walking out of the fire is evocative of the [[Film/TheTerminator T-800]] and is a truly epic moment.

The fact that [[HandicappedBadass he still manages]] [[TakingYouWithMe to fatally wound Shogo]] is noteworthy as well.

* Kazuo Kiriyama gets one when Shou Tsukioka is pursuing him. Shou is stalking Kazuo, convinced that he will win and it'll be easy to shoot him from behind when only the two are left. On the second day, Kazuo goes into a public toilet building that lies in an area that will become a "forbidden zone" at five o'clock - all bomb collars in the area will detonate. Shou listens to Kazuo pissing, confident that he'll soon be done and leave before five. When the pissing sound goes on for several minutes, Shou gets suspicious and slowly goes into the toilet... when it turns out Kazuo made a hole in his water bottle and hung it above the urinal. As Kazuo walks away in the distance, [[YourHeadASplode Shou's collar explodes.]] Ten seconds past five.

** Even MORE awesome in the movie: after Kiriyama is blinded by Mimura's bomb, Kawada gets into a shootout with him, and ultimately delivers the fatal shot... ''directly into Kiriyama's collar and [[YourHeadAsplode blowing his head off]]''.
