You don't fuck with Margarete's daughter figure and come out alive.
  • Some vintage CMOA here: Daimos's first battle. Yes, the hero cuts its opponents in two by karate chopping them.
  • Another scene in episode 7 had Daimos defeat a monstruously giant robot (much, MUCH taller than itself) by diving head first in its unique eye. But as we think it's over, a second robot forms itself with the rests of the first one.
  • In episode 8, Kazuya's robot was chained as a Mecha Burst was beating the crap out of it. Then Kazuya heard Erika's voice encouraging him and he went nuts, shattering the chains and delivering a Curb-Stomp Battle.
  • And in the same episode, Margaret holding an enraged Richter back and stopping his attempts to run his sword through Erika until he got his senses back. Notice that Margaret is Richter's servant and a gentle woman without fighting skills, so he could perfectly have her executed or even kill her himself. She still stops him from killing Erika. Yes!
  • Kazuya vs Richter on ground. Richter offered him a spear and shield to make the fight fair, but Kazuya refused, stating that he'll just use Karate instead. He then proceeds to break Richter's spear and shield with just his bare limbs during the fight.
  • Ambassador Douglas Bunks might not be a literal Ambadassador but he still proves himself to be awesome. Basically, Kazuya fell into a trap to make the UN think that he's a Balm conspirator thanks to Miwa and the five supreme council members of the five great nations that were very much anti-Balm. Izumi calls in Bunks, in which he single-handedly turned the UN decision around by showing that the five supreme council members were basically full of craps, using their high position to be tyrants on smaller nations like his, which actually housed Earthlings and Balmians living together in peace and all of them vouching for Kazuya's innocence. In the end, Bunks proposed that Kazuya is declared innocent and the supreme council disbanded and Miwa stripped from his ranks. And all of the UN members agreed right of the bat.
  • Kazuya finally beating the crap out of Miwa after he started having Barmians executed for no reason. He's such in an Unstoppable Rage that his friends had to restrain him to not go too far, but Kyoshiro drops another line that will make the audience cheer: The government finally learns about Miwa's corruption and crimes and decided that he's to be stripped from all his positions once everything is finished. In combination of the example above, this makes the event more cathartic: The same hands and feets that broke Richter's spear and shield, used to beat the living crap out of a General Ripper extraordinary. 'Satisfying' doesn't even begin to describe it.
    • Beforehand, Miwa has been sending his own men to futilely attacking the risen Undersea Castle. Kazuya protected one battleship and told the captain to abandon the battlefield to preserve the precious lives of his men. The captain obliges and stated that he would take responsibility if Miwa accused him. And when Miwa really did so and questioned his worth as a soldier in the battlefield, the captain gave his middle finger by tearing his own badge and dropping it to the ground. He's human first, soldier second, and that sure shows that not all humans are racist monsters like Miwa, even those under his command.
  • In one episode, a group of Baam led by Erika is migrating through a snowy mountain range. They are flying through a gorge during a blizzard when a snowslide descends down towards them. Erika screams, and Kazuya -who was fighting a Battle Robot in the vicinity- somehow hears her, steps in the gorge and blocks the snowslide with Daimos' body, protecting the Barmian as they were crossing the pass, and he does *not* move, even though that Battle Robot was blasting him with missiles, until all of them had passed. And then he spins around and proceed to kick the crap of Humongous Mecha attacking him! Watching that scene -with the forty-five-meter-tall robot filling the ravine, hugging the mountain slope and blocking the snowslide like a massive wall-, you realize how impressive and huge a Humongous Mecha would seem in real life.
  • Erika's "marriage" with Olban. After making up convincing scenes about betraying him and Margarete and breaking their hearts (and also an attempt to shoot Kazuya with a tranquilizer, but that was thwarted with Olban's men so Erika ended up shooting him with a real bullet... but she still decided to play along despite her shock anyway and ditched that guy who thwarted her plans to die in the hands of a pissed off Kazuya for good measure), so we came to her marriage with Olban. The priest asks if she'd take the vow... and like she planned all along, she refuses and tried to stab Olban with a knife. The guards restrained her, but even that didn't stop Erika to tell Olban right in the face that she will NEVER accept Olban as her King.
    • Even better, the priest suddenly vouches for Erika as a true Baam. He flings his robe and reveals himself to be Richter! Finally after bickering a lot about Erika's love life, the siblings finally found one common cause to fight together!
  • In the same episode, after Erika's Assassination Attempt on Olban fails...Margarete takes up a knife and tries to finish off the job herself! Despite being wingless and an old lady, she still takes on Olban and his forces, even if it doesn't end up being successful. Afterwards, she gratefully tells Erika she's glad she was wrong about thinking she was loyal to him. When Olban orders his forces to shoot Margarete, Erika stands in front of her and says that they'll have to kill her as well.
  • Richter finally realizing he was wrong all along. He gives one final, long hard look at Kazuya, who risked his life to stop the crash of Small Baam, and traversed through the multitude of lasers himself, getting his skin broken all over his body in the process. He didn't falter once, as he eventually turned off the laser system.
