* Episode 3 of ''Higurashi Rei'', when Rika strikes back against Satoko. Satoko is a bitch in this world and starts playing keep-away with an important document Rika was reading. Rika cuts her smirk off with a thrown chair to the face that knocks her to the ground. Rika walks over with another {{chair|manOfTheBrawl}}, starts slamming the curled up, terrified Sakoto (while the other two participants in the bullying watch in horror), and finishes with a deep-voiced lecture along the lines of "Satoko, shut your mouth for a second. Since you have the same face as my best friend, I endured for a while. But I'm fed up with that arrogant voice of yours. The next time you decide to bully me, I won't listen to any of your excuses. So with that in mind... Nice to meet you." Satisfying ''indeed''.

shut your mouth for a second. Since you have the same face as my best friend, I endured it for a while. But I'm just about fed up with that arrogant voice of yours. The next time you decide to bully me, I won't listen to any of your excuses. So with that in mind... Nice to meet you." Satisfying ''indeed''.

* Rena's "outburst" after Keiichi's complete meltdown in Tatarigoroshi-hen. Keiichi claims that Mion should do something to help Satoko [[spoiler:in the harshest, most blaming voice and expressions imaginable - telling her she's inhuman]] and that she should just ask her family to help Satoko to the point Mion actually cries. Rena completely turns the spear on him by telling him she knows a wealthy family who could help; the Maebara family. She copies everything he did to Mion and frightens Keiichi in the most amazing way possible to make a point. An incredible moment that hits home just how amazing Rena is.

* The final battle. [[spoiler: After years of years of being plunged into despair, the club members all team up to defeat the Yamainu. How?

* We finally see what happened after Satoko pulled a gun on Rika. After Satoko shot Rika and then herself, what followed was the two of them beating the ever loving ''shit'' out of each other, one continuous battle that takes them through multiple fragments without ever stopping to notice the shifts. After Rika finds out Satoko did all this just because she hated studying and didn't want to go to St. Lucia's, Rika reaches her RageBreakingPoint at all the pointless suffering she endured for something so trivial and repeatedly calls Satoko on her bullshit.

** At one point when Satoko is fighting Rika inside a classroom, Rika gets the upper hand and brains Satoko. ''WITH A CHAIR''. After all the memes about bringing back "Chair-kun" from ''Saikoroshi-hen'', it seems the creative team knew they had to include this.
** There's a glorious CallBack to the original series, where one of the fights between Rika and Satoko is a direct homage to Keiichi and Rena's battle in ''Tsumihoroboshi-hen''. Rika's armed with Rena's hatchet while Satoko has Keiichi's bat.

** There is an implication here that the 'kids' are so badass in this final battle because on some level they remember the past arcs and have developed more and more effective survival skills through reliving the events of each arc. This is awesome in and of itself. Philosophically speaking, it resembles the ideas of some schools of Buddhism...that the world is a place of suffering, but with an endless series of rebirth you can obtain enough wisdom and enlightenment to rise beyond that suffering and find peace beyond the cycle.

*** Shortly before this incident Takano and Hanyuu have a brief exchange. Hanyuu is not the stuttering cute little girl she normally appears as here. She speaks with authority and confidence, much more the stern Oyashiro-sama figure she's been worshipped as for centuries. And yet despite this and the fact that their roles have essentially reversed (Takano's schemes have all come undone and she is probably at her lowest point we've seen her at in the series since her childhood) Hanyuu asks what she truly wants and listens to Takano's tearful reply. Despite all the reasons she has to hate Takano and what she's put Hanyuu and her friends through over and over again, here in this final moment Hanyuu is a spirit of mercy and forgiveness.

* Rika pulls out an amazing BatmanGambit at the end, handing Satoko a familiar box. Satoko who ''remembers that it's a trap'', drops to her knees. Rika then reveals that it isn't a trap, but a teddy bear, proving to her that it's ''Satoko'' who is the other looper.

* Towards the end of the first episode, the original anime opening plays as Keiichi discovers the newspaper detailing how a construction worker was lynched and murdered. While it may be a standalone, it's great that it acknowledges its predecessor. Rena arriving with her signature meat cleaver only sweetens the deal.

* In the second arc of the visual novel, Shion invites Keiichi to a special all you can eat dessert event at the restaurant she works at. While there, a customer causes trouble for Shion by tripping her, so that the food she is carrying is spilled into his lap. The costumer tried to take advantage by demanding she wipe the food off of his lap. Keiichi, remembering when Shion saved him earlier, nervously tries to defend her. This was fairly awesome in itself. Unfortunately, however, Keiichi gets curb stomped in the ensuing fight. (the other guy knew some martial arts.) The narrative continues with Keiichi waking up at his table, with Shion standing over him. Now... This could have ended there and it would still be somewhat awesome... but instead, Keiichi, realizing his own limitations, calls up Rena, Rika, and Satoko to help him out. The next time some costumers tried to cause trouble for Shion; they got bruised by Rena, had their food tainted by Satoko, and after trying to use the women's bathroom (the men's was full) where shamed out of the restaurant (which they could not re-enter) by Rika. Both the wait staff and the normal costumers where very thankful for their efforts.
