When Glottis starts to die from speed withdrawal, the demons running the Ninth Underworld's Gate jury rig a rocket-powered gondola to help him recover. The ride takes Manny, Glottis and Meche all the way to Rubacava, cutting a 2-year journey down to a matter of hours. If Glottis hadn't had a panic attack from waking up strapped to a rocket and caused it to fall apart, they probably could have reached El Marrow.

* When Glottis reveals ''The Bone Wagon'' and takes Manny for a ride in it. The image of a [[CoolCar flame-spewing hotrod]] being driven by a literal speed demon, with a throne[[note]]actually a 'tub'[[/note]] on the backside where TheGrimReaper himself sits, scythe in hand, [[https://youtu.be/BXylWvXLPDY?t=1624 is truly a sight to behold]]. Extra points for the debut ride, where it not only beats Domino to Meche's reaping but [[AssholeVictim makes him spin out]].

* After killing Hector during the climax by shooting the water tank providing water for his greenhouse with Sprout bullets, we get a quick look of Hector realizing what's about to happen, a GoryDiscretionShot to outside where Manny hears him scream in horror and pain, and finally, Manny opens the door and take a look at his sprouted remains. Manny doesn't even bother with a one-liner, he just silently tosses the gun at Hector's corpse and walks away without a backwards glance.

Added DiffLines:

* Manny’s character development comes to a glorious head when he and his friends finally make it to the train station. If Manny walks up to the tunnel, he’ll adamantly refuse taking his final reward for all those years of working for the D.O.D. He can’t go through until he takes down Hector and helps everyone who got swindled out of their just rewards. A sure sign of how far Manny had come in changing as a person.

* Props to Manny for how savvy he really is. In just one year, the man goes from pushing a mop at a diner to buying out the joint and turning it into a popular cafe/casino. Cu to one year later again and he’s gone from managing a ship’s galley to captain of the whole thing. If the D.O.D. weren’t corrupt and run by a crime lord, Manny surely would’ve worked his way up to running the whole thing himself.
