Awesome / Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro

• In the second volume, Neuro prevents the killer's Eye Scream by catching the bullet with his eyelids!
• In Aya Asia episode, when the stalker gets out of Ishigaki's control, Sasazuka pacifies him by kicking him in the jaw, sending him flying about 20 feet.
• In Histerrier episode, Sasazuka prevents the detonation of the bomb by shooting off the clock.
• During his encounter with Sai, Neuro got his hand cut off and Sai was mocking him, saying about how he got so weak. Cue to his hand rooting on the floor and punching him in the gut, breaking all of his organs and bones in one hit.
• The first sign of Yako's character development into The Heart and a major display of Heart Is an Awesome Power at its most literal is in the finale of the HAL arc. HAL has secluded himself physically and digitally, hiding on a nuclear aircraft carrier and setting up a new anti-viral Sphinx to defend himself. But the greatest defense is a password screen, with an answer that only HAL and the late professor Harukawa knows. If the wrong password is entered once HAL will fire off a nuke. To make matters worse, Neuro is weak from having fought off against HAL's minions to take down the original Sphinx, so Yako is the only one who can find the answer. The only clue is that the password relates to HAL's true goal. Pouring over Harukawa's lectures and notes in three days, (as well as the right comment from her friend Kanae), Yako realizes the answer. A mathematical expression that has the same name as Harukawa's lost love.
• The New Bloodline arc is filled with this as everyone faces off against Sicks and his forces:
  • Neuro using his favorite Tool, Evil Torture on DR, who had just crossed the Moral Event Horizon by causing a flash flood killing a large number of people.
  • Godai and Sasazuka escaping from Sicks' New Bloodline on Cool Bikes. It ends with them crashing through a massive window in order to get away.
  • Godai defeating Vijaya, using his own plant energy against him.
  • Sasazuka shooting down at Tierra's weak points.
  • The police force managing to easily counter every one of Kasai's moves.
  • Sai landing a critical blow onto Sicks and reclaiming his identity as Phantom Thief Sai over being Sicks' clone Xi, leading to Neuro's victory.
    • As a corollary to this, Yako facing off against Xi alone. She starts by calling her out immediately when she disguises herself as Neuro to try and trick Yako. Then she manages to persuade Xi to see her mind and find the truth of her time as Phantom Thief Sai. By reminding Xi of Ai, Yako is able to help Sai reawaken. Without Yako Talking the Monster to Death, Sicks would have won against Neuro.
  • Neuro defeating Sicks with the Evil Metal, the strongest Demon Tool in his collection.
    • Also, he finishes off Sicks by driving a stealth bomber through his body, with the nose going through his open mouth.
• At the very end of the manga, after seeing the lowest depravity that man can sink to, after listening to the mysteries of the darkness of the heart from killers and demons; Yako chooses not to be a detective to bring answers for the dead, but to resolve conflicts between the living. She was never corrupted and became stronger.
