  • Episode 2: Despite the damage done, in the morning after Ban’s battle with the Moes, Ms. Yamano tells Ban he’s allowed to keep his LBX, provided “that he doesn't lose to anyone” with her smile. Considering the animosity Marie had towards Ban when everyone assumed Junichirou died in the plane accident, its good to see the pain has mended somewhat.
  • Episode 3: After Kazu’s LBX gets destroyed in the, rather than sulk, he instantly comes up with a plan to help Van and Ami find Hakai-O's weakness, which ultimately gives the three the win.
  • Episode 4: Koujirou gives Kazu a brand new Gladiator LBX for him to use for a while. At the end of the episode, Kazu is gladly smiling while having a more friendly battle with Ami.
  • Episode 5: Ban, Ami, Ryuu, and Mika attempt to get a new model for Kazuya in order to move past his guilt.
  • Van’s mother encouraging her son to be the best LBX player, win Artemis, and bring their family back. Kudos for Van’s mother for still having faith that her husband was still alive after he went missing...and that faith being rewarded..
  • During the Catacombs Contest, Hanz gives Van his Destroyer’s arm in place of Achilles’ damaged arm, which he uses against Dak in the semi-finals. Even though the weight distribution was an issue and Dak kept insulting the two, it helped Van win against Dak. The Power of Friendship isn’t just in the sister series.
  • Despite the circumstances, Ban and Junichiro, father and son are finally reunited. And when Junichiro's escape plan saves everyone, Junchiro entrusts his son to win Artemis while leaving again to support his son in the shadows.
  • Team Ban and the Asian Regional Champions, Team Morigani have a surprising friendship. While the latter is occupied with having to save the world, they form a good Friendly Rivalry and their relationship is much better than the American Duo Champions.
  • Justin being appalled about what his grandfather and the Innovators did to Yuuya at such a young age. Even he sides with Van to end Yuya’s suffering and mental breakdown throughout episode 24 and the finals of the Artemis Tournament. It is one of the early signs we see that Justin is a good person deep down and his Enemy Mine turns out to be genuine when he warns Team Van about the bomb the Innovators placed in Emperor.
  • Kazu giving Ban a hug when he wins Artemis in episode 24. The Power Trio had the dream to become champions at the end of the tournament, and they accomplished that.
  • Episode 25: While Ryuu continues to lose against Mika as they train and is berated by Koujirou for his lack of skill, he reveals he's still trying in order to help Ban defeat the Innovators in spite of his weaknesses.
  • Episode 30 shows that Professor Yamano has so much faith in Kazu as Van’s best friend that he knew Van would pick Kazu to join him in the cyberworld to reclaim the Infinity Engine’s pieces so he made Fenrir as Hunter’s evolution. Its even better in the anime because in the games, Master Otaku just picked Kazu to go with Van, but in the anime Van made that choice over Daiki, Ami, and Hanzou.
  • Takuya forgives Kirishima despite the latter's involvement leading to the death of the former's older brother. Even if it is not said directly, Ban also forgives Kirishima when the latter pleaded the former to end the battle with Innovators and bring LBXs back into the reinforce cardboard, hence making LBXs a joyful hobby for children once more.
