* [[EstablishingCharacterMoment The first time we see Ryo with his handgun]]. He was in a bar where a perp had taken a girl hostage, and when Ryo pulled his gun on him the perp put himself with his back at the window and ''dared'' him to shoot, knowing that [[{{BFG}} a bullet from Ryo's gun would certainly pierce him and kill someone outside]]. Without hesitating, Ryo shot him in the shoulder ''through his own hand, '''without hitting any bone''''' (he didn't fancy crippling himself), bleeding off enough energy the bullet got stuck in the perp's shoulder. The shot sheer awesomeness not only make the perp realize he was dealing with City Hunter, [[MuggingTheMonster someone he'd have never antagonized had he recognized him]], it made the perspective client go from disgusted with Ryo's antics to utterly amazed and hiring him on the spot.

* In the anime, the duel between Ryo and Geruma, the best hitman of the Lodos Mafia. Geruma was armed with an [[RareGuns .44 Auto Mag]], a gun that, due to its form and weight, wasn't a good choice for a quick draw... And yet ''Geruma managed to outdraw Ryo''. Still, Ryo won. How? Easy: first he [[ShootTheBullet shot Geruma's bullet]], then, as Geruma was comprehensibly freaking out at Ryo's stunt, [[CombatPragmatist shot the hitman in the chest]]. [[WorthyOpponent Geruma admitted defeat before dying, but Ryo told him to consider it a draw]].

* Ryo is challenged to a duel by a rival sweeper, who loans him a gun for use in the duel. The sweeper smirks to himself that the gun was previously emptied of bullets... However, Ryo could tell beforehand and simply tossed the gun in the sweeper's face! (Doubles as a moment of funny) What's more, it won him the duel!

* In the anime, this is invoked about every moment where "Footsteps in the night" or "Midnight Lightning" play, because you know Ryo has turned the tables and is about to kick some epic butt.

** Cue a close-up of [[NightmareFace Ryo's face]] looking [[UnstoppableRage really pissed off]], almost like Kenshiro from ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''. He asks Umibozu to leave the BigBad to him so he can [[ThisIsUnforgivable finish him off himself]]. Ryo then aims for the gasoline in the chopper to blow it up.

* Ryo and Kaori versus Union Teope. End result: Union Teope pulled out of Japan after Ryo and Kaori had killed most of their men, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny trolled into madness their best hitman]] before killing him, destroyed many of their assets and stolen a crapload of money.

* In the first manga chapter/anime episode Ryo is hired to kill a boxer who, in order to become champion, had murdered the challenger (and fiancee of Ryo's client) and blackmailed the champion into throwing the fight. The awesomeness is not in Ryo killing the fool, but in ''how'' he did it: during the championship match Ryo [[ImprobableAimingSkills shot his target in the ear]] with a .500 Nitro Express bullet (a ludicrously powerful round for hunt against ''elephants'') specially made with a golden tip to get the round stuck in the cranium, and timed it with the champion's punch, making it look that the champion ''punched him out of the ring and killed him''. For added humiliation he waited until the challenger declared he would win in the next round to pull this, and by Ryo's face it was something he was quite used to do. Finally, there's the matter of the payment: Ryo's client was terminally ill of cancer and wanted to pay Ryo with her life insurance, or, in her words, her life, and return drowning herself into alcohol, but Ryo ''ripped'' the evidence of the life insurance and [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming asked her to allow him to make her remaining days happy]].
