** Context: Masamune has just verbally (and physically) beaten down his sister Tsubaki, calling her an ExtremeDoormat, comparing her to a camellia flower (whose Japanese name is ''tsubaki''), which blooms, but has no scent, which Masamune sees as worthless. Tsubaki's kind and accepting nature finally cracks as she shouts the above line in an awesome ShutUpHannibal moment before tearing him apart with sheer willpower.

* Early in the series, Kid crosses paths with Crona onboard the Nidhogg. Crona begins talking about how he's afraid all the time and that he plans to gain absolute power so he won't have to be afraid of anything. Kid does not take kindly to this philosophy and handily annihilates the demon swordsman, forcing him into a retreat. If the sky hadn't been so ungodly beautiful, that day, Medusa's plan would've been completely wrecked.
---> Crona: If you get in my way, I'll kill you.
---> Kid: *Amused tone* Will you, now? Just try it.

* Death response to Medusa's Enemy Mine offer regarding Arachnaphobia. After he and Spirit are done joking about Medusa's 'cute' form, he ends up agreeing to all of the witch's terms. Except that [[spoiler: he doesn't say anything about giving Brew to Kid, ''or'' that he sends Tezca and Enrique after the team to keep an eye on Medusa. Medusa actually backs off at the prospect of fighting another Death Scythe, and thus loses her chance to kill Maka.]] It's the closest anyone came to out-manouvering Medusa, who had taken Death's silliness at face value.

** There's also the moment when Medusa says that Crona, the one she has been treating horrifically and intends to just throw away, is her own child. There is something immensely satisfying about seeing Spirit transform, grab Medusa by the neck, and call her a bitch. While this is arguably lessened by the fact he promptly bursts into tears because he can't understand how a parent could treat their child that way, he is also [[AdultFear entirely]] [[CompleteMonster right]].

* While Arachne's schemes are overshadowed by Medusa, she did manage to pull a very clever trick when neither she nor DMWA got the Brew. She knew DMWA thought she had it, and she managed to win a number of battle against them simply by using the threat of her having the Brew. The only thing that put a stop to her plan was Medusa giving them the real thing.

** This scene has an equivalent in the manga: The Will of Nakatsukasa shows Black☆Star ''exactly'' what it means to be a demon. He shows him the souls of those who perished along the path of mastering the arts of war, and all their memories flow into him, and Black☆Star falls to his knees, with tears in his eyes, from what he's seen. And the Will of Nakatsukasa tells him that to become a demon means facing these emotions and devouring their souls.
--->Nakatsukasa: For all your arrogance and boasts, you are still a child. This is what real fear is. I see a boy so overcome by despair that the cannot even stand. To "transcend the gods" is not even a shadow of a dream for one such as you, boy.
--->Black☆Star: If it's fear, then I'll stand up to it! I'll never give up! But that people have been so defeated like this... that they've felt so much despair... I don't want to give in! Now listen here, deer asshole. You won't see me crying. These tears are from the ones who died in misery and disappointment. From the regrets of souls who fell in battle, searching for the true warrior's path. And if it means lifting their regrets, then I'm happy to take it all on myself. The path I choose ain't the path of a demon who kills the living. It's the path of a ''warrior'' who brings the dead back to life!

* Kid gets taken to the witch's council to try and get them to help, it turns out to be a set up. Kid's BadassBoast that he could easily kill every witch at the council without any trouble is just nothing short of awesome. And this is without Liz and Patty, who were left behind at Shibusen.
** Not just the BadassBoast, how well he handled that entire situation was awesome. [[spoiler: The trial started with a mob of hostile witches dishing out million death sentences, but after a few pages of intimidation, proposal, confusing Kim joke and pleading, he walked out of the witch realm leaving behind a council of witches discussing Shibusen request seriously.]] I would call that a diplomatic CMOA.
