* The entire fourth episode for Risa. After one of the hostages who is actually Kamui in disguise frees her from her handcuffs, she uses his [[NailEm nailgun]] to shoot out the eyes of the latent criminal's RobotDog and retrieve her Dominator. While past experience with Makishima should have rendered this useless, she actually was on the right track this time as it turned out the criminal's Crime Coefficient had actually jumped up by over 50 points (from 23 to 76) from the last time she'd pointed it at him. Then she gets her head put through a window, which would be enough to put almost anyone down (it should be also be noted that this entire time, she has been stripped to her bra and panties, which means no protection for the rest of her skin). But she still [[{{Determinator}} gets back up]] while swearing to protect the hostages, and uses a glass shard to [[EyeScream stab the man's eye out]] before picking up her Dominator again. ''Now'' his Coefficient has hit the triple digits and she can fire. Unfortunately, so has hers, and Division 3 has been ordered to KillEmAll. She is the first one shot by them.

* The entire [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame battle]] between Kogami [[spoiler: and Toyohisa Senguji]] in episodes 10 and 11. First taking out one of the [[RobotDog robot dogs]] using the SpikesOfDoom on the ceiling, and then retrieving his Dominator and using its [[WaveMotionGun Destroy Decomposer]] mode to eliminate the other dog. Finally ending with Kogami pulling a move that would make [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]] proud: hiding in a barrel and rolling down a ramp, prompting Toyohisa to check the top of the ramp, followed by Kogami popping out of the barrel and blasting Toyohisa with the [[BoomHeadshot Eliminator]] mode.

** Despite Azusawa being totally deserving of execution, Arata decides to arrest him on his own terms, thus forcing Azusawa to live with his failures instead of giving him what he wants, thus going over both the MFA and Kougami's heads. It's a very subtle CMOA that works completely to Arata's strengths while still providing an epic conclusion.

!!Movie
* The film is action-packed [[UpToEleven to the extreme]]. We literally start off with a bang as Kougami sets off a minefield and destroys an entire [=SEAUn=] military convoy, and then in Japan Division 1 busts a group of terrorists in the middle of an arms deal. Put this way: pistols and submachine guns are [[CurbStompBattle no match for Dominators.]] Chief Kasei even commends Akane for completing such a dangerous operation with zero casualties.
* During the military operation to flush the rebels out of the old capital, all 4 of the army's helicopters are shot down. By Kougami. Using only an old anti-materiel sniper rifle. And then he jumps off the side of the tower and [[FastRoping fast ropes down]] by way of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_rappel Australian rappel]].
* Akane and Kougami get into a fight before they realize they're fighting each other and she even manages to ''suplex'' him. And he still manages to get out of it and land on his feet.
* When the mercenaries attack the rebel camp, Kougami and Sem commandeer a motorbike and launch into the scene, quite literally, by pulling off a ''360 degree'' spin in the air as Sem jumps off to rally his forces. And after that, Kougami has to fight off two of the mercenaries on foot. He's a regular human and ''[[BadassNormal it still takes three of the cyborg mercenaries to put him down.]]''
* As the film reaches its climax, the moment when the jig is up for Colonel Wong and his corrupt Military Police unit when the Sibyl System designates all of them with their true Crime Coefficients over 300. What follows up can only be described as [[CurbStompBattle total slaughter as the combined might of all of Sibyl's land and air drones rip them to shreds.]] And Ginoza gets the kill on Wong with the Assault Dominator.
* The final fight with Kougami fighting the mercenary leader in the elevator. Even badly wounded, he still manages to ''rip off the merc's cyborg arm''! And then [[BigDamnHeroes Ginoza shows up]] and they start [[RivalsTeamUp double-teaming against him]]!
** The fact that Ginoza is fighting at all is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in itself. In the series, we saw him transition from a NonActionGuy Inspector to a competent Enforcer. Now? He's as competent a fighter as ''Kogami,'' dodging gunfire like a pro, taking on Desmond with his bare hands, and blowing Wong into a pile of blood and guts. His old man would be proud.
** To speak nothing of Desmond, who shows exactly why [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking he was leader of his band of mercenaries]]. Even when facing 2-on-1 odds and after getting his mechanical arm ripped off, Desmond still manages to hold his own against Kogami and Ginoza.

What follows up can only be described as [[CurbStompBattle total slaughter as the combined might of all of Sibyl's land and air drones rip them to shreds.]] [[spoiler: And Ginoza gets the kill on Wong with the Assault Dominator.]]

* In episode 5, when the InternetMimic serial killer is cornered by our heroes, he activates a giant holographic disruption to MindScrew them and get out of there. In response, [[spoiler: Masaoka whips out the [[ChekhovsGun bottle of alcohol]] he'd had on him and concocts a BoozeFlamethrower to set off the fire-extinguishing sprinklers, deactivating the holograms.]]

* The entire [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame battle]] between Kogami [[spoiler: and Toyohisa Senguji]] in episodes 10 and 11. First taking out one of the [[RobotDog robot dogs]] using the SpikesOfDoom on the ceiling, and then retrieving his Dominator and using its [[WaveMotionGun Destroy Decomposer]] mode to eliminate the other dog. Finally ending with Kogami pulling a move that would make [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]] proud: [[spoiler: hiding in a barrel and rolling down a ramp, prompting Toyohisa to check the top of the ramp, followed by Kogami popping out of the barrel and blasting Toyohisa with the [[BoomHeadshot Eliminator]] mode.]]
** It doubles as a Heartwarming Moment, but what is his first priority afterwards? [[spoiler:Telling Yuki to get out of there and seek therapy for what she's seen, despite the fact that he's been shot a number of times. The man's a damn fine detective.]]
** And when he wakes up, [[spoiler:he ''immediately'' tries to go after Tsunemori, despite having '''[[{{Determinator}} near fatal gunshot wounds.]]''' Masaoka has to headbutt him to get him to stop.]]

* [[spoiler: Yuki's death scene]] and no, not because [[TearJerker/PsychoPass it's anything awesome]] but because the ''writing'' of it is. While the arc between episode 10 and 11 is played brilliantly dramatic in introducing Makishima, with the [[HeWhoFightsMonsters cat and mouse game he has with Kougami]] it's really the 11's ending where [[spoiler: Akane has to witness first hand the death of Yuki]]. For many people, this is the game changing episode- the point of the story where the WideEyedIdealist, who literally episodes prior only took this position because she scored high, is visibly shaken enough to start questioning her world view. [[spoiler: Makishima exists, the Dominator ''couldn't fire'', one of her best friends is dead, and her view of Sibyl is visibly shaken]].

** Even better when you consider the implications behind it: [[spoiler:Makishima dismissed Akane for failing his "test". He's also the one responsible for the existence of the helmets. That's right folks, he was beaten with Poetic Irony]]. What really makes the scene is the fact that [[spoiler:the injured Kogami tells Akane to kill Makishima.

** Shusei kicking the asses of three of Makishima's henchmen with ease. [[spoiler:Too bad he got killed afterwards by Kasei.]]
* Makishima [[spoiler: throwing the offer to become part of Sybil back in Kasei's face, and proceeding to rip him apart with his bare hands. And a [[ThrowTheBookAtThem hardcover book.]]]]

* Episode 18 has Akane [[spoiler: saving Kogami from being killed by the chief by shooting him with her Dominator]] like she did in the first episode.
* And Episode 20 has Akane [[spoiler:give the Sibyl System an ultimatum: They spare Kogami's life in exchange for her bringing Makishima in alive. When the system shows signs of not agreeing, she says that if it doesn't, she will do nothing while Makishima dies, even threatening to kill him herself if need be. To cap it off, she tells the system that if it refuses to kill her like it did Kagari and find a new pawn, going so far as to ''hold the barrel of the Dominator to her chest'']].
** [[spoiler:It doesn't stop there. She correctly profiles Kougami's path through the house and discovers his message by herself. Those SherlockScan lessons from Professor Saiga [[ChekhovsSkill really paid off.]]]]
* Episode 21 has Masaoka [[spoiler:fight Makishima and manage to get him in a hold. He probably would have beat Makishima, if Makishima hadn't tossed dynamite at a trapped Ginoza. Sadly, this leads to Masaoka pulling a HeroicSacrifice to save his son...but he still kicked Makishima's ass.]]

** In the final episode, Akane [[spoiler:tells the Sibyl System that humanity will outgrow the need for such a system and that people will always strive to make the world a better place.]] To see that Akane still has her ideals after everything that happened is amazing.

* The entire first episode for Akane: she stays one step ahead of the criminal, logically deduces what his plans are, coolly disintegrates a rogue construction robot without breaking a sweat (bonus for the blast also evaporating the bombs strapped to its back) and manages to [[spoiler: successfully talk down a criminal with a 302 Crime Coefficient down to the nonlethal zone of 299,]] all while dealing [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim with]] [[LeeroyJenkins uncooperative]] [[KnightTemplar fellow]] [[WithFriendsLikeThese Inspectors]] who are criticizing her every move. Now compare [[NaiveNewcomer the Akane]] we saw at the beginning of the series to [[TookALevelInBadass the confident professional we see here]], and ''that'' is serious CharacterDevelopment.
* The entire fourth episode for Risa. After one of the hostages [[spoiler: who is actually Kamui in disguise]] frees her from her handcuffs, she uses his [[NailEm nailgun]] to shoot out the eyes of the latent criminal's RobotDog and retrieve her Dominator. While past experience with Makishima should have rendered this useless, she actually was on the right track this time as it turned out the criminal's Crime Coefficient had actually jumped up by over 50 points (from 23 to 76) from the last time she'd pointed it at him. Then she gets her head put through a window, which would be enough to put almost anyone down (it should be also be noted that this entire time, she has been stripped to her bra and panties, which means no protection for the rest of her skin). But she still [[{{Determinator}} gets back up]] while swearing to protect the hostages, and uses a glass shard to [[EyeScream stab the man's eye out]] before picking up her Dominator again. ''Now'' his Coefficient has hit the triple digits and she can fire. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, so has hers, and Division 3 has been ordered to KillEmAll. She is the first one shot by them.]]

** Kougami beating up the crap out of Irie and Tenma, who disobeyed Kei's orders.
