  • Episode 6 in its entirety. The action starts right away and doesn't stop until the credits roll, with Executioner having an epic throwdown with the entire Akudama crew. Leading to an epic final slobberknocker in the rain with Brawler, and the two taking each other out.
  • In Episode 8, Swindler takes a level in badass and kills two thugs trying to kill her and Sister by sticking one in the eye with a sharp can lid, stabbing one in the neck and then shooting the other in the face.
  • And if that wasn't enough, Episode 9 takes it a step further where she sends a public message to the Kansai city that leaves the city in utter chaos due to her fabricated threat. With the city and Executioners distracted, she and Sister would be able to reach Brother with minimal obstacles.
    • In the climax of the same episode, Swindler manages to get the jump on Cutthroat by cutting off his arm and then stabbing him in the chest despite being choked by him.
  • Hoodlum in episode 10 using a momentary distraction to slice Doctor's neck open. He's killed by her right after, but it proves to be just the injury to take her out, as she's trampled by a mob while trying to fix it.
  • In Episode 12, Swindler pulls off the greatest Batman Gambit of her Akudama career. By pretending to be an injured civilian, she manages to get an Executioner to kill her on the spot. What they didn't know was that Swindler set up a recording device to broadcast her death and "performance" for the Kansai public to see. It's thanks to this that the public decides to rise up and fight the twisted practices of the Execution Division. And before all this happens, she delivers a hell of a Badass Boast to Courier and the kids.
    Swindler: I stole goods from the Shinkansen's vault. I'm the Super S-Ranked Akudama who plunged Kansai into chaos. I...
    Swindler (while being broadcasted): I'm an ordinary citizen!
    Swindler: I... am Swindler!
  • Courier shows why his sentence is over 700 years. He single-handedly takes out a handful of executioners before the OP song plays and he destroys the radio tower with his rail gun before he rides the collapsing tower to the horizon. Once his injuries kick in, he drops the kids safely and faces *three* attack helicopters on his own, entering a Beam-O-War with one that causes half of his rail gun to melt and stop working, before being taken out with a blast that explodes with a mushroom cloud. After Hacker's spirit causes another massive blackout, he tries to shoot down the helicopter, using his metallic arm as a conductor and succeeds. Then he dies from his injuries, but not before going out with a smile and a simple "Perfect." The entire latter half of the episode was just a long badass moment for him.
