* A villainous example...even when As failed to turn humans and humagear against each other, it's revealed that she still has other plans to fall back on. TheStinger reveals that she has an accomplice by the name of S, and that the heroes victory is but a setback at best.

* Gai attempts to torture Yua again after his defeat, only for her to fight off the pain and give him a much-needed armor-piercing punch ''right'' into Gai's smug face. It's so cathartic it was treated as a FinishingMove along with its technique name, that being [[ResignInProtest "Notice of Resignation"]].

* Gai attempts to torture Yua again after his defeat, only for her to fight off the pain and give him a much-needed armor-piercing punch ''right'' into Gai's smug face. It's so cathartic it was treated as a finisher along with its technique name, that being [[ResignInProtest "This is my resignation!"]].

-->'''[[FinishingMove RISING]] [[DivingKick IMPACT!]]'''

* Meta-wise, Zero-One's choreography and stunt work is a major breath of fresh air thanks to Yuya Nawata's suit acting.

* Zero One Flaming Tiger's battle [[ArtShift is drawn as a manga]], and it was awesome.
** Hell, pretty much everything about Flaming Tiger is awesome. Zero-One standing amongst the flames as he stares down the Magia is an incredible visual in and of itself, but then the fight being done in the style of a manga makes it so much cooler. And of course, [[OnceAnEpisode we have the finisher:]]

*** Also, in a meta sense, Over-Time Subs got one when, instead of placing the subtitles at the bottom of the screen, when Aruto utters his catchphrase in the manga style, they translated the word balloons to better match the aesthetic, complete with the same font that English manga translations use!

* We also have the debut of Kamen Rider Valkyrie's Lightning Hornet form, which has [[ComicBook/AmazonsAttack a deadly bee weapon.]] [[MemeticMutation Bees. My God.]] Jokes aside, Lightning Hornet's ability to fire electric hornets from its chest ends up being pretty useful when the Gaeru Magia tries to escape by swimming in a nearby lake.
** [[OnceAnEpisode Then there's the finisher]] (And for bonus points, its a Rider Kick too):

* It's a small moment in the scheme of things, but when Gai presents his new product [[MakingASpectacleOfYourself Zaia Spec]] and boasts of sales reaching 724%, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Aruto simply points out]] [[SubvertedCatchphrase that it's not 1000%.]] The look on both men's faces shows that the wannabe comedian got the last laugh.

* Three words: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Metal.]] [[DoppelgangerAttack Rising.]] [[FinishingMove Impact.]] Zero-One's main body in [=MetalCluster=] Hopper stays perfectly still as two swarms of Cluster Cells turn into copies of [=MetalCluster=] Hopper, both delivering a Rider Kick to an enemy.

* Meta-example: before the finale aired, many cast members hinted that the ending would something that has never been done before in a Kamen Rider series to prove what the Reiwa era is capable of. And it shows: for the first time ever, the FinalBoss actually ''lives'', is still evil and plotting out there. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Other {{Final Boss}}es who survived either reformed in a way (Agito & Ryuki), are unconscious (Faiz), or were not truly malevolent (Blade, Gaim & Ghost)[[/labelnote]]

* A meta moment of awesome should go to the writers by letting Another Zero-One use locusts to attack Vulcan and Valkyrie. This was the first glimpse of what would be [=MetalClusterHopper's=] power way before anybody had a clue on where the show would go next. [[note]] Obviously that was the case back when it was released in Japan. By the time any English subtitled version came out, [=MetalClusterHopper=] was around for quite a while. [[/note]]
