* In the Monsterland intermission, Mundy gets to show her guts once again, this time by staring down a dockengaut without showing an ounce of fear (even though she's ''terrified''), and being ready to fight it and certainly suffer a horrible death if need be.

* When Gretchen wakes up in the afterlife, she's tied to a clocktower with barbed wire wrapped around her neck, arms, and legs, in the middle of a howling storm, hundreds of meters above the ground, and with no memoy of who she is or how she got her. Once it becomes obvious that screaming for help is pointless, however, she gets to work, managing not only to free herself but Homulilly too, even while crying from fear and pain.

!As a momens subpage, '''[[Administrivia/SpoilersOff ALL SPOILERS ARE UNMARKED]]'''
When the world is populated by immortal teenagers with superpowers, there is plenty of room for absurdly awesome moments.
----
* Elsa Maria holds her own against four Void Walkers long enough for Oktavia to escape the island with an unconscious Kyoko.
* A villainous example, but Nie and Arzt proving that their adoration for Nikki is more than just a fad by defending her from Reibey. They fail, of course, but at least they tried.
* The snowball fight in ''Gift of the Puella Magi'' is MundaneMadeAwesome incarnate. Six immortal magic-users going up against each other using ammunition made of snow becomes absurdly over-the-top real quick, especially when Mami enters the fray with ''snowball-loaded muskets!'' Credit also goes to Charlotte for succesfully outsmarting Akane, Shizuku, ''and'' Mami despite having no magic of her own.
* The first glance of Cloudbreak, a floating city so awe-inspiring that Kyoko decides on the spot that she wants to move there.
* The ''entire chase sequence starting in chapter 14 and going into chapter 15''.
** It ends up as an UnconventionalVehicleChase between Void Walkers and Mami and Charlotte. The Void Walkers are trying to get away on an Elysian airship after kidnapping Kyoko and Oktavia, Charlotte [[BadassDriver is the one steering the swifter to keep the airship in the line of fire]], and [[ImprobableAimingSkills Mami, sitting behind her wife on the same swifter, is shooting the airship engines with magically conjured]] SniperRifle.
** At one point, Mami hangs from the Elysian while Charlotte's swifter is disabled and disappears into the cloud. Mami nearly falls to despair over having lost her wife, at which point Charlotte, in a desperate hail-mary attempt, blindly throws out her own golden strings. ''And Mami catches them with her ribbons!'' It's as sappy as it is awesome!
** Mami and Charlotte are climbing up the side of the Elysian to reach the hatch, at which point a ''whole ass trainwheel'' flies through the cockpit window and Nikki goes with it. After momentarily being confused, Charlotte can do nothing but grin when she realizes what that means.
---->'''Charlotte:''' You know, call me crazy, but I think Oktavia's awake.
* During the wild witch attack, Charlotte and Oktavia, without even having to say anything to each other, get ready to protect their unconscious loved ones with their magic that they've had for less than 48 hours, despite both being utterly exhausted.
* The unnamed member of the Wayhouse who avoided being brainwashed by Lily first by cutting off her own ears, then by attacking her and securing a sample of her soul vapors for study. Even Nie and Arzt are impressed, and the sample became vital in developing a counter.
* The climax of the Etherdale arc:
** Annabelle Lee is told that the wild witches of Etherdale seem drawn to the wayhouse, as if they can sense that the people there want to help them. At the climax, this is proven true as the wild witches come to their rescue, swatming the leechers in the thousands.
** Mundy the Vaskergoros demonstrates exactly why no one wants to mess with her kind when she uses her magical girl weapon, a chain, to ''pull an airship close enough for her to jump on top of it, then rips out the engines with her bare hands''. Mami is a suitable mix of terrified and impressed. She proceeds to tear her way through the leechers with no one having a ''prayer'' of a chance to stop her.
** When Nikki and another girl Annabelle Lee befriended are shot down by Lily's gunship, she wastes no time abandoning her previous plan to escape in favour of ''tearing Lily from the sky''.
** Lily's demise comes at the hand of Arzt Kochen and Hungry the wild witch. Hungry distracts her by savagely tearing into her and defying any attempt by Lily to get rid of her, while Arzt uses the opportunity to get close enough to inject Lily with some of the compound made to combat her influence, paralyzing her and putting her at the mercy of someone who has not a shred of sympathy for her.
* During the ''Monsterland'' arc, Kyoko and Charlotte together manage to fight off an entire pack of valks for a long time, killing all but two of them before being cornered. Valks are extremely dangerous apex predators who are easily a match for a magical girl ''alone'', not to mention that Charlotte is deeply traumatized by an earlier encounter with them, making the feat all the more impressive.
* At the climax of ''Monsterland'', Kyoko and Charlotte are cornered by a couple dockengauts. Just as they're thinking they'll never see their loved ones again, a ''legion'' of calliopes appear, protectively circling around them while a border guard helicopter threatens the dockengauts into leaving them alone.
** In the Monsterland intermission, Mundy gets to show her guts once again, this time by staring down a dockengaut without showing an ounce of fear (even though she's ''terrified''), and being ready to fight it and certainly suffer a horrible death if need be.
