Line 3:

** '''LUCAVI DETECTED. ENTERING DEFENSIVE STATE.'''

* Zalbag's [[Rousing Speech]] in Chapter 32

{{quote| '''Zalbag''': {{spoiler|Look at them. Do you see what I see? I see ''fear''! The Lucavi are [[Dirty Coward|cowering behind stone walls]], hiding and sending their minions to protect them. Their numbers mean nothing, for each man here is worth ten of those pathetic creatures. [[The Legions of Hell|They invaded our land, seeking to destroy it.]] Be you from Gariland or Riovanes, Zeltennia or Limberry, they want to see you dead. They want your home and your family, and they thought they would have it without a fight. They thought they would have ''Ivalice'' without a fight! Now, when they see how we have banded together, [[Bring Me My Brown Pants|they soil themselves in the fortress they built.]] [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good|They know we have come with righteousness and the strength of an entire nation, and it scares them!]] What do you think, my friends? Should we give them something more to fear?}}}}

* When Ramza and Izlude face [[Warmup Boss|Chaos, the first Lucavi seen in the story]], screw the fact that they're alone and have never seen such a thing before, because they ''[[This Is Sparta|take - him - down]]'' - with nothing but their teamwork together and skill. Meaning that they proving from an early point that a) the Lucavi are ''not'' invincible; and b) anyone trained under a [[Badass Family|Beoulve]] is destined to become an inherent [[Badass]].

* Ramza and [[Five-Man Band|his companions]] taking down [[Dual Boss|the Lucavi duo]] of {{spoiler|Queklain and Adramelk}}. Especially for two reasons:

* Chapter 35 has two:

** First is Valmafra's magical duel with Kletian, not only for the sheer epicness described in the battle but also because {{spoiler|she takes him down using ''other'' abilities he didn't teach her, taking him by surprise despite his raw magical power overwhelming hers}}.

{{quote| '''Kletian''': It's a pity, however, as it seems you didn't learn enough. ~~<br />~~

{{quote|'''Kletian''': It's a pity, however, as it seems you didn't learn enough.

'''Valmafra''': Not everything I learned came from you. {{spoiler|I'm an assassin, remember?}} }}

** Second is {{spoiler|Wiegraf}}'s fight with {{spoiler|the Lucavi demon Velius}}. Even the {{spoiler|offer of power and losing an arm}} didn't deter his determination and morals {{spoiler|unlike in canon}}, and {{spoiler|while he loses, he ''does'' save Ovelia's life}}.

* The ''entirety'' of Chapter 36, the "Airship Battle" chapter, which delivers just as the author has been promising.

* Gaffgarion extracting some [[Laser-Guided Karma|well timed revenge]] on Elmdore, {{spoiler|using [[Yin-Yang Bomb|Cid's]] [[Excalibur]] to shatter Masamune}}. Complete with [[Oh Crap|fear shock]] and [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown|fisticuffs]] afterward.

* In Chapter 38, Izlude faces [[Archnemesis Dad|Vormav/Hashmal]] all by himself. {{spoiler|And wins}}.

* Rattletrap gains three back to back in the form of three specific tropes: {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]], [[Big Damn Heroes]], and [[Dying Moment of Awesome]]}}.
