** During this battle Haruko mocks her for her feelings for Ide. Hidomi points out that Haruko is NotSoDifferent, reminding the alien that she's just as infatuated with Atomsk.

** Hell, the opening sequence of the first episode as a whole is cited as easily the most standout moment so far for the series. From being synced to [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "Thank You, My Twilight"]], to the excellent visual style and animation quality, to the HolyShitQuotient of what ensues, some are even saying that just that sequence alone was worth the wait while overshadowing the rest of the episode.

* In the sixth episode, Kana goes GodMode against Medical Mechanica, producing an N.O. wormhole that threatens to collapse the space/time continuum.

** It happens ''again'' in Episode 3 when Ide tries to save Hidomi from Haruko. Even when the sight of Hidomi in her bathing suit causes Ide to eject another MonsterOfTheWeek from his forehead, he immediately manages to turn it against her (though Haruko quickly beats the tar out of it and then hijacks control of it to use against Ide and Jinyu.)

* Hidomi confronts Haruko as a cyborg! She has done what on her own what Naoto needed outside help to do, control her own N.O. and use it for combat. Sure, it is crude and only partially controlled but it is still an amazing sight to her charge and strike with an extending metallic fist.
** During this battle Haruko mocks her for her feelings for Ide. Hidomi points out that Haruko is NotSoDifferent, reminding the alien that she's just as infatuated with Atomsk.
-->'''Hidomi''': In the end you're no different from the rest of them. It's all because you like that weird bird, am I right? How stupid! You're just a girl in love!

* Hidomi is saved from a Medical Mechanica robot by [[spoiler: Canti, now fully restored.]] He also keeps the portal open for Haruko and Hidomi to escape the building.

* Aiko singlehandedly [[spoiler:destroys the Medical Mechanica building. She drops the potted plant, and generates vines that climb up and crack it all the way through. Then it crumbles to dust]].
* Despite all of Haruko's scheming and plotting, Atomsk is still too powerful to even be inconvenienced by her efforts. [[spoiler: That birdcage she made? It's too small for a ''talon''. She absorbs him, but he immediately forces her to vomit him back out. In melee, her attacks can't even reach him.]]

** Not just that. The song that plays during this scene? "I Think I can" the same one we got while Naota fought Haruko while channeling Atomsk's powers! Ide has become, at least [[HeroicWillPower spiritually]], as badass as the Pirate King.
