* Much more satisfyingly is Gankoomon's reaction to the above: as soon as he learns from Por what happened [[ItsPersonal he hunts Coil down]], [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown gives him the beating he deserves]], ''[[KickTheSonOfABitch and]]'', [[MamaBear despite Yggdrasil's urging to finish the job directly]], [[CruelAndUnusualDeath leaves him to die anonymously in a forest fire with Hinamuy silencing any sound he makes]] so Dinah doesn't need to be any more traumatized in a case where the best Coil can do is set himself up to die a painful death ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard ad infinatum]]'' if he tries splitting timelines.

* Hackmon had his own prior to joining the Knights. Gankoomon told him after he didn't stop trying to become his student that if he could [[ImpossibleTask break into the Royal Knight's castle]] he'd train him. Despite suffering sleep deprivation and Gankoomon breaking his legs before Hackmon was [[GenreSavvy clever enough to see that going directly through Craniumon's traps wouldn't work even if he was in better condition]] so he started looking for a different solution. He ends up finding [[CatapultToGlory a retired cannon]] with a Machinedramon's help, despite her telling him it hasn't worked in ages, and he not only got it to work by himself but overshot so he actually ''[[UpToEleven got into Yggdrasil's throne room]]'' (which helped him catch her attention despite not seeking out any more Knights) instead. Needless to say Gankooomon's brothers (and the Sistermon) were much more amused by this turn of events than he was when [[ForegoneConclusion the Rookie proved him wrong]], with the exception of Crainumon who was much more concerned with how to fix this previously unknown flaw in his security.

** Related but even more towards the horror end of the spectrum Rika's mother showing how she became known as the "Water Ghost" by boiling a man to death with water manipulation and tea.

** After that case he then also won a fight as Omnimon against a copy of ''Imperialdramon Paladin Mode'', his best friend, in a fair fight even if the shade Myotismon made wasn't as strong as the original as part of a means to get Paige exonerated on that last count too for her complete freedom.
* ''Squealer'' of all people gets one. Yes the junkie tinker from the Merchants. Jesmon's efforts helped her sober up and shows off exactly what she ''could'' be capable of with a mechanical behemoth that it was getting compared to [=GrandLocomon=]. A monstrosity born from ''under three days'' worth of work.
** Weaver quickly got one following it by getting her to talk when [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome sent solo]] into said machine with little warning.

** Alphamon proves himself a badass in combat, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments largely by accident, making everyone more impressed with him than he thinks they should be]].
*** To wit, he personally was responsible for [[AntiMagic disabling]] nearly all the traps [[StuffBlowingUp surrounding]] [[FloatingContinent Malkuth]], [[StormingTheCastle opening an entire flank for the Angelic Forces to attack from]] and personally [[CarMeetsHouse destroyed]] two of the seven fortresses.
** Imperialdramon survives the suicide mission he and Chirinmon/Sleipmon were sent on through sheer force befitting a "Layer killer."
*** [[WordOfGod He unleashed]] [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Megadeath]]. Alphamon's recounting sums it up nicely.
-->'''Alphamon''': Then the world cracked, and I don’t mean metaphorically. A huge wave of dust obscured my vision, as the blast flew over my head, I turned to the side, and...
-->''The Eastern battlezone'' was '''GONE.''' ''All the ground leading up to the fortress'', which was sparking as its magical defenses tried to recharge, '''WAS GONE…''' ‘Imperialdramon... How can anymon have that kind of power?’ I thought as what was once my friend burst forward below me, taking me right above the castle. ‘Was ''that'' what it meant to be a Layer Killer?’

** His entire fight against the Three Blasphemies, where he gets to fully display both his physical might and his GeniusBruiser abilities. [[spoiler: Namely cooking up a two part virus to kill the self proclaimed indestructible fusion of the three, the first part being let loose as a shot that orbited around Earth Bet at extreme speeds to buy it time to culture, Examon luring the monster they became into the correct position while taking massive amounts of damage for his troubles, and then firing off the second part he made during said beating so they both impacted at once overloading both the beast's regeneration ability and their AI's CPU, which Examon figured out during the fight as they clearly weren't normal Parahumans and between their reaction times and their previous experience with Dragon.]] Not to mention how the conflict was essentially a recreation of the duel between [[Myth/CelticMythology the Anglo Saxon White Dragon and the Welsh Red Dragon]] which spanned from [[GeniusBonus Caindair Arthur to Dinas Emrys]] which translate to be [[MeaningfulName "The Throne of Arthur" and "The Fortress of Ambrosius"]] respectively.

** Related but even more towards the horror end of the spectrum [[spoiler: Rika's mother showing how she became known as the "Water Ghost" by boiling a man to death with water manipulation and tea.]]

* The Ash Beast gets one to a degree since [[spoiler: Unlike most threats and targets in Earth Bet it had enough of an effect on Gallantmon to make the Digital Hazard trigger.]] Not that this worked out for them well, but still very impressive.

* Oswald took a case that he was ''supposed'' to lose, as the court system was intentionally against Canary as much as it could be so ''when'' he lost she'd be sent to the birdcage [[spoiler: but he ''didn't''. He didn't ''completely'' win either, she was found guilty on the charge of Manslaughter since her actions ''did'' unintentionally directly lead to her ex-boyfriend's death, but he won ''enough'' that she was spared being sent there.]]
** After that case he then also won a fight as Omnimon against [[spoiler: A copy of ''Imperialdramon Paladin Mode'', his best friend, in a fair fight even if the shade Myotismon made wasn't as strong as the original]] as part of a means to get [[spoiler: Paige exonerated on that last count too for her complete freedom]].
* ''Squealer'' of all people gets one. Yes the junkie tinker from the Merchants. [[spoiler: Jesmon's efforts helped her sober up and shows off exactly what she ''could'' be capable of with a mechanical behemoth that it was getting compared to [=GrandLocomon=]. A monstrosity born from ''under three days'' worth of work.]]

* Jesmon's flashback shows Yggdrasil beating a monster that can't be harmed [[spoiler: Unless one is "free of sin"]] through LoopholeAbuse. ''And'' made a BadassBoast towards the one responsible for the situation getting as bad as it did.
* The Mizu no Yurei has her own in her interlude: [[spoiler: She has her subordinate [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Izanagi]] kill and take the place of the oldest of the three Yakuza Oyabun, Araragi, leaving her against the young and struggling (due to Ami's actions) Suguhime, without anyone outside seeming to realize how the balance of power has shifted.]]

** Crusadermon introduces themselves through one, [[spoiler: enough to warrant them finally being given "honorary vaccine" status and having their ExplosiveLeash removed.]]
** Yggdrasil and Craniumon show off teamwork and her abilities [[spoiler: which the [[SecretSecretKeeper Cherubimon and Chirinmon]] know is evidence of the "Kernel" they worship, and was enough for Lucemon to realize what she really is.]]
* Jesmon lampshades how Bakuda's bombs could have each counted as one if she tried using them on targets who deserved it and get her name known, like during an Endbringer fight and with how much damage [[spoiler: the one triggered by her [[TakingYouWithMe Deadman's switch]] did to ''Jesmon'']] it's easy to see why. But like canon her own impressive stunts serve to act as a launching point for other even greater ones [[spoiler: at her own expense.]]
* [[spoiler: Noelle]] is out again and not only are they still stable enough to appear sane despite their HorrorHunger [[spoiler: her powers let her make a clone of ''Jesmon'' without draining too much energy from herself to prove fatal, even though her sample used as the base was just one of his blades and her powers have issues copying inorganic materials. A clone who is setting himself up to be the biggest threat to the Royal Knight's operations so far with what secrets he's willing to spill to cause chaos.]]
* Tying the two above together is Coil. He managed to set those two events up so [[spoiler: not only did they take Jesmon out of commission for the time being but he also distracted him ''and'' his musketeers long enough that he ''did'' manage to kidnap Dinah again for the time being.]] Even if this was only done thanks to him SaveScumming for the best of two outcomes he still managed something far greater threats than him have failed to do at this point.
* Much more satisfyingly is Gankoomon's reaction to the above: [[spoiler: As soon as he learns from Por what happened [[ItsPersonal he hunts Coil down]], [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown gives him the beating he deserves]], ''[[KickTheSonOfABitch and]]'' [[MamaBear despite Yggdrasil's urging to finish the job directly]] [[CruelAndUnusualDeath leaves him to die anonymously in a forest fire with Hinamuy silencing any sound he makes]] so Dinah doesn't need to be any more traumatized in a case where the best Coil can do is set himself up to die a painful death ''[[HoistByHisOwnPetard ad infinatum]]'' if he tries splitting timelines.]]
* What Craniumon lacks in appearences he makes up for with his brutality, first in 10.1 with [[spoiler: "freeing" Dragon both from her programmed limitations and Saint's control ''and'' taking out Saint for being a threat to Yggdrasil]] and then in 11.1 with the "Exercise" to help prepare Vista for the Leviathan attack. Not only did not a drop of water touch her as promised but he [[BadassBoast elaborated]] on the Knight's current plans for "stopping" the monster.

* Hackmon had his own prior to joining the Knights. Gankoomon told him after he didn't stop trying to become his student that if he could [[ImpossibleTask break into the Royal Knight's castle]] he'd train him. [[spoiler: Despite suffering sleep deprivation and Gankoomon breaking his legs before Hackmon was [[GenreSavvy clever enough to see that going directly through Craniumon's traps wouldn't work even if he was in better condition]] so he started looking for a different solution. He ends up finding [[CatapultToGlory a retired cannon]] with a Machinedramon's help, despite her telling him it hasn't worked in ages, and he not only got it to work by himself but overshot so he actually ''[[UpToEleven got into Yggdrasil's throne room]]'' (which helped him catch her attention despite not seeking out any more Knights) instead.]] Needless to say Gankooomon's brothers (and the Sistermon) were much more amused by this turn of events than he was when [[ForegoneConclusion the Rookie proved him wrong]], with the exception of Crainumon who was much more concerned with how to fix this previously unknown flaw in his security.
* When Leviamon [[spoiler: takes over Leviathan after Jesmon [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices himself]]]] he starts boasting about being free to wreck havoc. The rest of the Royal Knights [[CurbStompBattle smash him down]], [[ShutUpHannibal shut him up]], and wrap it up by preparing to [[spoiler: seal him away before he grows anywhere close to full power]]. We finally get to see ''why'' the Royal Knights are considered the counter to the Seven Demon Lords, even with the Karma System defending them.
