Joker Game, Part 2

  • Sakuma's realization to where John hid the evidence. Behind the portrait of Emperor Hirohito.
  • Yuki's ruse of not appearing to be a crippled man in order to get the dirt of Col. Muto and force him to get funding for the agency's black budget, otherwise he'll sent evidence to Tokyo that he rambled state secrets.

Miscalculation

  • Hatano's successful accomplishment in Marseilles despite the odds against him, which included his amnesia and the Wehrmacht hunting him down.
    • His quick thinking by using flour dust and lights to set off an explosive trap.
  • Hatano being able to unmask the double agent in the city's resistance cell.

City of Temptation

  • Admit it or not, Captain Oikawa being the culprit of the murder of Corporal Nobuteru Miyata and instigating a False Flag Operation so that the police forces in the International Settlement won't easily suspect him.
  • Captain Oikawa's reveal as the episode's Big Bad thanks to Fukumoto's reporter disguise. More Awesome on Fukumoto's part due to the fact that he didn't have to do any direct action on his part.

Asia Express

  • Tazaki himself is a walking CMOA on the titular train throughout the episode.
    • He deduced correctly that the SMERSH agent who killed the defector is a conductor on the train, and defeated him in a fight.
    • Using the three kids he befriended on the train, he returned the murderer's calling card right back to him.

Codename: Cerberus

  • Amari's entire encounter with Jeffrey Morgan a.k.a. Louis Mc Cloud, and the fact that the entire conversation was the former's plan all along. Baiting him with a crossword puzzle he can't refuse, and rigging the game to give him a single answer, the object that leads to his betrayal: Enigma.

Double Joker, Part 2

  • Jitsui beating Gamou into submission after the latter tried to toss him over a cliff.
    • During the reveal to Akimasa, Jitsui disarmed an enraged Akimasa by shooting the pistol out of his hand.
  • Yuuki delivers a devastating "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Lt. Colonel Akimasa that lays out exactly why the Wind Agency can't even hold a candle up to the D Agency.
    • The fact that Akimasa and the Wind Agency couldn't even see through Yuuki's disguise when he first met him. And didn't even notice the boy he gave the spiked drink to was a D Agent who had seen through his ruse from the beginning. And the patrons weren't fooled as well. Showing how the Wind Agency was completely and utterly outmatched by the D Agency.

Coffin

  • The flashback to Yuuki's interrogation at the hands of Wolff, culminating in his escape. How? By stealing a grenade and using it to blow out of his bonds, that's how!
    • The fact that the intelligence Yuuki stole stopped Germany from winning World War I. There was no better backstory for The Spymaster and the founder of the D Agency.
