* After Jade is given advice on how to finally get rid of Hsi Wu who's on the verge of merging his chi with hers, she [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind engages in a fight with his oily form in the center of her being]] as she has to choose a fundamental part of her personality to give up. She ends up choosing her pride which has taken the form of a hefty book. She then rips pages out of it, paining both her and Hsi Wu. As he makes one final attempt to attack her, she shields herself with the book, and he ends up tearing the rest of the pages out. Before his form burns away as he's driven out of Jade, she tells him [[CallBack "Tails… you lose."]] After all the times he has used his lines from the first story to mock her, her using one of her own is satisfying.
* While rejecting Valerie's suggestion to rehabilitate Shendu and Drago, Jackie coldly calls her a pawn who's controlled by every other piece on the board.

Though he doesn't apologize and remains mistrustful of her, he has the decency to feel ashamed.

* The final chapter has a meta example — the most obvious example of the meaning of ''The Ultimate Evil'' would be the one who's called that in story (Shendu), but the TitleDrop is used brilliantly when Valerie confides to Jackie.
-->'''Valerie''': I was just so caught up in my own love story that I ignored the suffering and misery of my own species… My father once told me something… evil is not the act, but those who stand by and watch. Shendu committed unspeakable horrors, but I did nothing. I committed [[TitleDrop the ultimate evil]] by simply allowing it to happen.

* Shendu, disappointed at meeting a dead end in his quest to find Tiamat, gives Valerie an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove in defiance of the ArmorPiercingQuestion she gave him in the eight chapter about how he could understand that love is selfless. He argues back that love actually makes him selfish in his desire for her affection, and he cannot let go of it even though it brings him misery to know that winning her heart is impossible. She feels more moved than ever by any declaration of love she has read in her favorite romance novels.
