Arpeggio of Blue Steel/YMMV
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: I-401's takedown of Takao early on, and then how she and Hakugei pwn Kirishima and Haruna.
- Crowning Moment of Funny: In Chapter 22, Takao attempts to confess her crush to Gunzou... and instead demands the vibration warhead and data.
- Like You Would Really Do It: When Japanese special forces raid the Iwo Jima base and kill most of the 401 crew, it's pretty obvious that it's all part of some Xanatos Gambit.
