* Van getting a quick crash course in psychic powers, then proceeding to walk straight into an ambush set by entirety of Dilandau's elite bishonen squad, and hacking through them at a rate of roughly one per second, despite them being invisible, while their omnicidal psychopath leader more or less goes catatonic.
** For that matter, Balgus parrying blows from a Guymelef on foot, with his opponent and both of the involved swords being a few times his size.
** The scene near the end where Van dumps Escaflowne, which refuses to stop the killing, and to go save Hitomi, and sprouts his own wings to fly to her.
** One could argue that his first appearance is a Crowning Moment; the [[PintSizedPowerhouse skinny short kid]] kills a dragon with nothing but a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]], a shield and a breastplate -- and the katana's all he has left at the end.
