* Any time Shiki's [[Super -Powered Evil Side]], Nanaya, makes an appearance. Without fail, something will die, and in a very awesome way. The manga seems particularly fond of this.
** At one point, he gets pissed at some zombies pinning down Arc because she's ''his'' woman--if anyone's going to molest her, it's going to be ''him''. *slice and dice*
** Shiki's fight with Nero, an already noteworthy event from the [[Visual Novel]] made even more awesome by the emphasis on Nanaya-mode. Collapsed on the ground and surrounded by demonic familiars about to devour him, he snaps, shredding everything around him and laughing crazily as their blood rains down upon him.
{{quote| '''Nanaya Shiki:''' "You wanna kill me, monster? Very well. Come on, then, let's kill each other... Nero Chaos."}}
** Unless it involves chairs. Then it's just a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]
* And, of course, Shiki's climactic battle with Roa in the school. Shiki gives a [[World of Cardboard Speech|mono]][["The Reason You Suck" Speech|logue]] that ''terrifies'' Roa, then takes him by surprise by ''killing the hallway around them''. This quote sums it up very well:
{{quote| '''Shiki:''' "Life and death will be back to back, but they'll never face each other. [...] I'll show you... ''THIS'' is what it means to kill something." *cue ass-kicking*<br />
Also: '''Shiki:''' "....You're not scared are you? It's a path you're quite familiar with. If there's a difference, it's only one thing. ---This time, you can't come back." }}
Line 29:
*** It is, he's referring to Kohaku's route, in which Shiki talks down SHIKI by telling him hes a much better killer in what appears to be a dream...until he wakes up in the morning with blood on his hands.
* The fight against the Tatari with the appearance of poor Satsuki in the manga of "Melty Blood": Especially the point, where Tatari!Satsuki managed to pin Shiki down and punched the cr... his blood out of him! ...Until it realized that Shiki wasn´t under it anymore and the blood on its hand didn´t belong to Shiki... And then its arm already fell off...
* It has to be said. As bad as the anime adaptation was, and as out-of-character as it would be for [[Chick Magnet|Shiki]] to sit there and take it, [[Our Vampires Are Different|Arcueid]], [[Church Militant|Ciel]], and [[Half -Human Hybrid|Akiha]] getting into a verbal catfight over him makes perfect sense...but it's the fact that ''[[Only Sane Man|Satsuki]]'' finally jumps out of her seat and tells them all to shut up, sit down, and leave Shiki the hell alone (which they ''do'', possibly out of shock) that feels oddly satisfying. Go {{spoiler|non-vampire}} Sacchin!
* The most awesome thing Roa ever does is in the Ciel Good Ending, where Shiki (who has almost been entirely taken over by Roa) dot-stabs ''himself'' in a last-ditch effort to kill Roa (two souls fighting over one body means that his ability can kill off either of them, leaving his body for the remaining one). He collapses and has a vision of an unknown man reading a book. When Shiki asks him if the book is interesting, the man smiles and tells him that nothing was interesting at all, then gets up and walks away. Shiki tells him he forgot his book and the man replies that he doesn't need it anymore, so Shiki asks where he is going and the man responds that he was never anywhere to begin with, and fades away as the book's pages scatter and disappear. The scene is so awesome, it changes your entire perception on Roa that you had throughout the game. It really is a quite a profound scene.
