Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Jacuzzi's traintop fight with Goose.

Goose:You don't even have a gun!
Jacuzzi:I have a gun...in my heart!

    • Note that, following the above exchange, the series' Shrinking Violet proceeds to charge a man with a flamethrower completely unarmed, headbutt him multiple times in the face, and finally full-body tackle him off the edge of a speeding train so that the fuel canister on his back explodes. At this point, Jacuzzi has taken uncountable levels in badass.
    • The fact that he then is pulled back onto the train by Nice and is prepared to stand up to the blood-covered Rail Tracer with Goose's knife still stuck in his arm is just the icing on the CMOA cake.
      • And in the books? He pulls the pins on the two grenades he got from Nice and tackles him, fully intending to pull a Heroic Sacrifice. Thankfully, Claire does not approve of murder-suicide.
    • Scene is even more awesome, once you remember it's the exact same thing Isaac told him earlier.
  • Firo's Establishing Character Moment fight with the knife-wielding beggar in Episode 1.
    • Not to mention the almost iconic car-top launched face-kick he delivers to the thug who tried to kill him and Luck in a bookshop.
    • Firo calmly beating up Dallas and his thugs in under a minute without dropping his hat. As one viewer commented on the YouTube video of the scene, "They got Fir-OWNED."
  • Luck's infamous taking of the bullet (fired by Eve Genoard at Gustavo Ragetta) and subsequent Grievous Harm with a Body with the arm severed by said bullet.
  • The passengers of the Flying Pussyfoot get a collective CMOA when they confront the Lemures with their own weapons.
  • Rachel's unarmed rescue of the Senator's family in 1931.
  • Am I really the only one who loved the fight between Ladd and Chane on top of the Flying Pussyfoot?
    • No. What made it a COMA to me was when Ladd thought he had killed Chane by knocking her off the train. Cue the close up of Chane climbing up the side of the train with her knives.
  • Czes gets one in The Children of Bottle (2001), in which he is taken prisoner by people who mistake his immortality for demonic powers. To escape, he throws his tied-up self into a fireplace, waits for the ropes to burn off, and calmly walks out of the flames.
  • "Your ticket please."
  • Keith Gandor doing what no man has ever accomplished by successfully calling out Claire Stanfield in Drugs and the Dominoes.
  • "Boss! It's you! You came toe rescu.."*bam* Don't screw with Old Man Runoratta.
  • Isaac and Miria running Szilard down with his own car. And then backing it over Dallas Genoard for good measure.
  • "I think this'll be the first time we've set a man on fire."
  • The entire staff of the Daily Days pulling their shotguns on Gustavo and his goons in the split second it takes for them to turn their backs.
  • A Mook tells Claire Stanfield that you never get reliable information out of people through torture. Claire Stanfield proceeds to get reliable information out of him through torture.
  • Any scene with Ladd against a Lemure. Especially the one he punched to death.
