* Okkoto's reply to Moro trying to talk him down from his confrontation with humanity.
-->'''Moro:''' You'd risk everything on one last battle? That's just what the humans want.
-->'''Okkoto:''' I do not ask for the help of the wolf tribe. Even if every one of us ''dies''. It will be a battle the humans will ''never'' forget.

** Keep in mind, we have no idea who Eboshi was or why she decided to defend Iron Town. This woman just showed up with a bunch of warriors [[CrazyAwesome and started fighting off forest gods]]. All without breaking a sweat.

* A small moment that doubles as Funny; the fact that Lady Eboshi pays such little heed to the patriarchy that the women living in Iron Town don't even know who the ''Emperor of Japan'' is when Eboshi shows them Jigo's pardon letter. The only reason they probably even know who Lord Asano is is because he's directly threatened the town.
* When Lord Asano's messenger comes to the gate, Toki and the other women give him a proper dressing down capped off with firing a warning shot to drive him away when he gets mouthy.
--> '''Messenger:''' Of all the brazen impudence, you girls need to show some respect!
--> '''Woman #1:''' Respect? What's that!?
