--> '''Shu:''' None of you know Inori's pain...None of you do...She fought her own ugliness inside herself, and suffered...And when I hurt from making the same mistakes, she supported me kindly. Only she stood by me, and believed in me...So this time, I'LL be by your side. This time, I won't let you go, INORI!!

** [[KickTheSonOfABitch[[spoiler: Daryl killing his father and his father's secretary/mistress]]]].

* In Episode 16, the standoff between Argo and Shuu.

** [[spoiler: Daryl killing his father and his father's secretary/mistress]].

** And it ends with the lead guy taking down a mecha with a BFS!

* Episode 14 has Ouma take a major level. [[spoiler: He singlehandedly dismantles a student rebellion by, first, intimidating them away from Ayase and Tsugumi. Then, with Tsugumi's void (which allows the creation of remotely controlled clones of people), he proves to the entire student body that trusting the government will only get them killed. Finally, when the rebellion's leader pulls his gun on Shu, our boy (who was subtly backing close to another member of the rebellion) ''yanks out the poor shmuck's Void without knowing what it was without first making eye contact, throws it, disarms the rebellion's leader, and gives him the most intimidating stare we've seen all anime,'' with an appropriate non-fatal BondOneLiner to boot! God ''damn'', Shu.]]

'''Shu:''' You may be right. ''[[PreMortemOneLiner But I can learn.]]''

-->'''Segai:''' You're not a murderer. Admit it!

* Funeral Parlor's final battle with GHQ in Episode 22. When it looks like [[spoiler: Gai and Mana]] are going to cause a global Lost Christmas and [[spoiler: Gai]] is in the midst of giving Shu TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, Haruka breaks through GHQ's defenses and corners Keido, [[spoiler: her husband's murderer and the man that became an OmnicidalManiac out of pure jealousy]]; Shibungi corners [[spoiler: Kenji]] and gives Tsugumi the upper hand she needed to hack into GHQ's firewalls; and, lastly, Inori's song [[spoiler: stops the global Lost Christmas and gives Shu the Void he needed to have a fighting chance against Gai. In the end, nearly every traitor and monster who worked for GHQ ends up dead.]] It it essentially one giant KickTheSonOfABitch to GHQ. To top it all off, when it looks like Shu [[spoiler: is going to [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice himself to save the world]] and erase the virus from existence]], Inori also [[spoiler: pulls one last HeroicSacrifice to save Shu]].

* Shu's escape from the GHQ facility in Ep4 is a work of art. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5rbYa_wO_Q It has to be seen to be believed.]]
* Then you have episode 6, where Gai takes down a mecha with nothing but some string and a Luger, and Shu combining two Voids to make some sort of gunblade powerful enough to completely destroy a falling KillSat. By the way, the design of a Luger pistol would be [[BreakOutTheMuseumPiece 131 years old]] at the time of the show's setting.

** Seeing Shu break through GHQ Antibodies' countless liens of defense with his friends' voids was pretty damn awesome. It starts as [[AutobotsRockOut Inori sings the show's ending theme.]] Shu and friends are driving up to the barricade ad Arisa's void deflects GHQ's outrageous machine gun fire; they follow up with Souta's void getting them through a wall, destroying the pursuing Endlaves in the process; Hare's void repairs an ''entire damn bridge'' while Kanon's void helps them find Inori; to top it all off, Yahiro's void let's Shu slice clean through Daryl's Endlave. It's all done with the spectacular animation and special effects this show is already famous for.

* In episode 13, when a group of disgruntled refugees attacks the school, Shu unlocks Ayase's void, [[spoiler:which gives her cybernetic legs that grant super speed and agility]]. Working together, they both singlehandedly repel the attacking refugees and destroy the Endlave they brought with them, closing off with a BackToBackBadasses finishing pose. Even better, they do it in front of the whole school; the students' expressions are simply priceless - and probably somewhere along [[{{HSQ}} the same lines]] as the viewer's.
* Episode 14 has Ouma take a major level. [[spoiler: He singlehandedly dismantles a student rebellion by, first, intimidating them away from Ayase and Tsugumi.

God ''damn'', Shu.]]
* In Episode 15, after [[spoiler:Hare is killed]], Shuu goes berserk [[RebuildOfEvangelion Shinji-style]] and gains an upgrade for Inori's Void. Simply swinging it causes it to shoot crescent moon-shaped pulses of energy in whatever direction he was aiming. Even better, he manages to curbstomp Daryl, who's charging at him, ''while standing still'' and not even swinging the sword. He's just holding it horizontally, and Daryl's Endlave is cut in half, after which he shoots a sword beam at the two other Endlaves attacking them.

* At the end of episode 18, after having overcome Mana's attempt at using Inori's body to [[spoiler: rape Shu]] and receiving [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech a subsequent explanation as to why Inori is a monster without a soul]], Inori remembers Shu telling her that she is who she is -- that Inori is her own person. Then, after telling Shu that [[UndyingLoyalty she will always be by his side]], [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre that he shouldn't blame himself]], and that [[YouAreNotAlone they will always have each other]], Inori solidifies her CharacterDevelopment by finally shedding her EmotionlessGirl persona and ''single-handedly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]]'' an entire squadron of Endlaves.
* Episode 19. To take a page from Segai's book: the Return of the King. [[spoiler: Shu gains the third Void Genome, uses it to regenerate his arm, pull out Ayase's void, and]] and promtly uses it to wipe out an entire troupe of Endlaves. His flying around, dodging missiles and bullets is completed with a beautiful AnimationBump and a spectacular CurbStompBattle. [[spoiler: Shu has just [[TookALevelInBadass taken the biggest level in badass ever]].]] [[SilverWings This troper]] is having trouble typing--her hands are ''still shaking'' from the excitement!

--> '''Segai''': "You're not a murderer. Admit it!"
--> '''Shu''': "You may be right. ''[[PreMortemOneLiner But I can learn.]]''."

** This comes after [[spoiler: Gai]] just managed to wipe out [[CurbStompBattle 87% of the UN fleet.]] There's just one problem for the GHQ: ''[[{{Determinator}} the remaining 13%]]'' of the UN forces ''keep fighting'' and provide vital support to Funeral Parlor as they are StormingTheCastle. Had the UN soldiers not kept [[BarrierMaiden Arisa]] and her super-strong shield pinned down, things could have turned out differently for Funeral Parlor.

** In that same episode, Inori suddenly busts out [[GunsAkimbo a pair]] of [[CoolGuns Glock 17s]] and guns down a squad of GHQ soldiers to cover Gai & Shu as they to stop the falling Leukocyte.

* Episode nineteen. To take a page from Sega's book: the Return of the King. [[spoiler: Shu gains the third Void Genome, uses it to regenerate his arm, pull out Ayase's void, and]] and promtly uses it to wipe out an entire troupe of Endlaves.

* Shu's duel with Daath. Daath had about fifty mooks whose Voids he was drawing on, while Shu was using his own to call out his friends Voids, but only one at a time. Combine with an AnimationBump to an already well animated episode, and you have the single best fight on the show. [[spoiler: Shu wipes the floor with Daath. It was suitably awesome.]]
