* From the beginning, Capheus has trouble attracting customers to his bus, until one day a gang of thugs steal the belongings of all the passengers he has, including his mother's medicine. He's incredibly determined to get the medication back, and does so with help from Sun and Will, beating the hell out of the thugs in broad daylight. The next day, his bus is swarming with customers who trust Capheus to get them to their destinations safely.
** What really sells this is the elderly lady who decides to remain in the bus after Capheus goes after the thugs, because she refuses to let go of the ring they stole from her, the only thing she has left from her deceased husband, and Capheus is determined to get that ring back as much as his mother's medicine. The lady's smile as she watches Capheus come out victorious over the thugs is just lovely, and even more so when Capheus sees the huge crowd on his bus the next day, the lady already seated, showing him her ring and a big smile.
* After Capheus goes through hell fighting Silas Kabaka's turncoat thugs (with some assistance from Sun and Will once more), Capheus drags a badly injured Kabaka back to reunite with his daughter Amondi at Jela's house. Kabaka gets on his knees and hugs his daughter, and despite the proof of what a monstrous man he is and the horrible things he has done, this moment showcases how much he truly adores his daughter, and he smile he gives to Capheus for making it all possible is genuinely heartfelt and full of gratefulness.
** Stemming from that moment, the fact that Kabaka was willing to die as the thugs ordered Capheus to chop his head off. These thugs wanted to kill is daughter to get to him, but he does not hesitate for a second to accept his own death if it means his daughter will be safe.
