** His CharacterDevelopment right before the climax. All game long he's just been looking for a chance to hand Jehuty off to someone else and wash his hands of the whole affair, but when Rock tells Leo that if someone doesn't keep fighting the colony will be destroyed and that Leo's a better pilot than him, and then Viola shoots Celvice to provoke Leo into a rematch with her, he finally mans up and turns resolutely back towards his mech with a simple but steely "Let's go, ADA."

** He returns in the second game with the Vic Viper. Already a walking ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}'' homage, the real kicker is that he's essentially piloting a heavily-customized LEV - essentially a standard operation machine that pales in comparison to the real Orbital Frames that dominate the storyline. WordOfGod stated that it's a hybrid between LEV and Orbital Frame, but he's still holding his own as a BadassNormal kid with a ''massive'' handicap, and can even be ThatOneBoss.

* The final battle with Nohman in ''The 2nd Runner''. You get an upgrade that almost makes Jehuty feel like a PhysicalGod, and then, you fight him inside the BAHRAM headquarters Aumaan, with both you and Nohman being superpowered. And, when you defeat Nohman, after the following cutscene that shows Nohman [[EvilGloating gloating]] about how he killed Dingo's comrades, Dingo simply and calmly tells him that they're waiting for him now, then ''[[CoupDeGraceCutscene you get to do the finishing move on Nohman by either blowing him up or by slashing him to pieces]]''.

* The 2nd game got a lot more awesome moments
** Air Fight. You versus six flying battleships with MoreDakka, {{Roboteching}} BeamSpam and naturally, {{Wave Motion Gun}}s. All accompanied by [[AwesomeMusic/VideoGames Awesome Music]]. And when you manage to destroy one with your own WaveMotionGun, you can see it falling for miles and breaking up in the air. {{Troperrific}}.
** The [[TheWarSequence Mars Melee]]. You, the [[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Vic Viper]], and 20 or so [[RedShirtArmy LEVs]] against ''hundreds'' if not a thousand or more enemy {{Mecha Mook}}s. From the opening salvo of attacks, to the scramble to save your troops, to the inevitable OhCrap you feel when the on-screen radar shows a ''wave'' of enemies coming down at you, the whole thing is an intense, frantic, and ''awesome'' battle that really shows off what the game's about, and how much power Jehuty really has.
** Rescuing Ken. The mission, the music, and just the sheer amount of mooks you'll obliterate on your way up and out of there is beyond description in how heroic and awesome it will make you feel.
