* ThatOneAttack: Black Heart's signature dual SpreadShot sweep. It opens up two cannons that shoot out a spread of bullet streams, and then swivels them back and forth very quickly. Serious precision is required to dodge this attack without getting torn into shreds.

** Black Heart, in both of its appearances. It comes back in ''ArmedPoliceBatrider'' and is even harder!harder! Most notably, when you encounter it in Stage 5, unlike the first four bosses which can be picked apart to disable some of their attacks, Black Heart has ''no'' parts that can be chipped off and thus you're forced to bear the full force of its attacks from start to finish. As [[http://battlegareg.ga/ this tribute]] to ''Garegga'' puts it:
---> ''Black Heart represents the negation of all of Garegga’s tirelessly-established principles. Instead of a collection of armaments to pick apart, you have a core and two wings. The wings are invulnerable too, just to rub it in. Instead of phases determined by parts destroyed, you now have phases determined by core health—with them only switching after the previous attack completes. Everything about Black Heart is ruthlessly prescriptive, and comes as a shock in this game which up until now has never told you what you ought to do.''
