* Naojiro's HeroicSacrifice. Knowing his wounded leg only will delay his gang’s escape from the Demon Buddhists, he allows himself to be captured by their giant oni and takes his life and the monster’s arm with a grenade. However, the toll it takes on the gang's morale is enormous.
** The reaction of Naojiro's father. He's calm and serene when speaking about his family tradition, and only cries when he states he spent all of his life waiting for the opportunity to serve Shutendoji that his son ultimately received in his place. However, you know that under his composed face, he’s grieving more than nobody for the death of his son.
* Kaji's death. Tired and devoid of psychic energy, he nonetheless tries his best against Jawanbo, and he doesn’t step aside even when his pebbles only bounce harmlessly off the hulking Demon Buddhist. When the latter stabs him with his kusarigama, Kaji knows he’s dying fulfilling his mission.

* A race of superficially monstrous yet fully sentient beings being forced to butcher each other eternally is bad enough, but it turns worse when they stop fighting and turn towards the human baby it just appeared among them. Considering their size, it’s not hunger or feeding instinct which leads them to want to kill him, as he would probably not fill the stomach of a single of them. It’s the pure ''hate'' they are obliged to feel: they will rip him apart because they have no choice.
* Despite his frightening appearance and powers, the final oni cries tears of blood during his speech against Jiro, and later again after devouring him, while ''imploring'' Dai Ankoku Shiya Jarai to accept the boy’s kill as a sacrifice to save the ogre race. Coming from such an imposing creature, it is a just a sign that the goals of the oni are no ruse: he and his race are genuinely suffering for their bloodthirsty fate and believe killing Jiro is the only way that their god will finish it.
