Line 3:
* The show starts with an action-packed chase scene, with a serenely beautiful song sung by Inori playing over. [[Soundtrack Dissonance]] exemplified finely.
** And it ends with the lead guy taking down a mecha with a BFS!
* "Go... Kaleidoscope." Cue [[Beam Spam]], '''directly pointed at the baddie's face.''' [[Oh Crap]] indeed.
* Shu's escape from the GHQ facility in Ep4 is a work of art. It has to be seen to be believed.
* Then you have episode 6, where Gai takes down a mecha with nothing but some string and a Luger, and Shu combining two Voids to make some sort of gunblade powerful enough to completely destroy a falling [[Kill Sat]].
* Dan punching Segai in the face {{spoiler|even when covered in the cancerous crystals of the virus}} after Segai points a gun at Shu's mom. It's made all the more awesome by the fact that he managed to make his claims of disgust upon seeing Segai point a gun at a woman ''sound more badass than sexist.''
** Seeing Shu break through GHQ Antibodies' countless liens of defense with his friends' voids was pretty damn awesome. It starts as [[Autobots Rock Out|Inori sings the show's ending theme.]] Shu and friends are driving up to the barricade ad Arisa's void deflects GHQ's outrageous machine gun fire; they follow up with Souta's void getting them through a wall, destroying the pursuing Endlaves in the process; Hare's void repairs an ''entire damn bridge'' while Kanon's void helps them find Inori; to top it all off, Yahiro's void let's Shu slice clean through Daryl's Endlave. It's all done with the spectacular animation and soecial effects this show is already famous for.
** {{spoiler|Daryl killing his father and his father's secretary/mistress}}.
* '''EPISODE TWELVE!''' After getting hit with a '''[[Wham! Episode|MASSIVE]]''' [[The Reveal|reveal]] on the nature of [[Cataclysm Backstory|Lost Christmas]], we see Gai's void: {{spoiler|a gun that forces other people's Voids to manifest.}} [[Autobots Rock Out|J-Rock starts playing in the background]], Shu and Gai start running around fighting giant... [[Squick|giant eyeball/crystal things]], Gai's Void {{spoiler|forces out Inori's Void}}, and Shu uses it to get Keido away from Inori, Keido gets knocked out by the blond kid, Gai starts blasting more of the eyeballs {{spoiler|with his Void}} and he finally tops it all off with a {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}. In the end {{spoiler|[[Together in Death|he gets to be with Mana]].}}
Line 14:
* In Episode 15, after {{spoiler|Hare is killed}}, Shuu goes berserk [[Rebuild of Evangelion|Shinji-style]] and gains an upgrade for Inori's Void. Simply swinging it causes it to shoot crescent moon-shaped pulses of energy in whatever direction he was aiming. Even better, he manages to curbstomp Daryl, who's charging at him, ''while standing still'' and not even swinging the sword. He's just holding it horizontally, and Daryl's Endlave is cut in half, after which he shoots a sword beam at the two other Endlaves attacking them.
* In Episode 16, the standoff between Argo and Shuu.
* At the end of episode 18, after having overcome Mana's attempt at using Inori's body to {{spoiler|rape Shu}} and receiving [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|a subsequent explanation as to why Inori is a monster without a soul]], Inori remembers Shu telling her that she is who she is -- that Inori is her own person. Then, after telling Shu that [[Undying Loyalty|she will always be by his side]], [[You Are Better Than You Think You Are|that he shouldn't blame himself]], and that [[You Are Not Alone|they will always have each other]], Inori solidifies her [[Character Development]] by finally shedding her [[Emotionless Girl]] persona and ''single-handedly [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb-stomping]]'' an entire squadron of Endlaves.
* Episode nineteen. To take a page from Sega's book: the Return of the King. {{spoiler|Shu gains the third Void Genome, uses it to regenerate his arm, pull out Ayase's void, and}} and promtly uses it to wipe out an entire troupe of Endlaves. His flying around, dodging missiles and bullets is completed with a beautiful [[Animation Bump]] and a spectacular [[Curb Stomp Battle]]. {{spoiler|Shu has just [[Took a Level
* Special mention goes to the unnamed UN Naval Fleet Captain in episode twenty-one, who shrugged off being infected by the virus in order to maintain command and a legitimate strategy against {{spoiler|Gai's}} forces. This came just after Funeral Parlor [[Out-Gambitted]] the Ghost Troops.
* Shu's duel with Daath. Daath had about fifty mooks whose Voids he was drawing on, while Shu was using his own to call out his friends' Voids, but only one at a time. Combine with an [[Animation Bump]] to an already well animated episode, and you have the single best fight on the show. {{spoiler|Shu wipes the floor with Daath. It was suitably awesome.}}
* Funeral Parlor's final battle with GHQ in episode 22. When it looks like {{spoiler|Gai and Mana}} are going to cause a global Lost Christmas and {{spoiler|Gai}} is in the midst of giving Shu [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]], Haruka breaks through GHQ's defenses and corners Keido, {{spoiler|her husband's murderer and the man that became an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] out of pure jealousy}}; Shibungi corners {{spoiler|Kenji}} and gives Tsugumi the upper hand she needed to hack into GHQ's firewalls; and, lastly, Inori's song {{spoiler|stops the global Lost Christmas and gives Shu the Void he needed to have a fighting chance against Gai. In the end, nearly every traitor and monster who worked for GHQ ends up dead.}} It it essentially one giant [[Kick the Son of
