  • Elle's use of a katana to slaughter the thugs who were shaking down Doc Badger's business. They have guns, she doesn't, and it doesn't matter.
  • The initial battle between Marlowe and Elle is the first real test of the latter's capacity to fight as the Blade Runner proves skilled in ways her other opponents are not. In the end, Elle is forced to blow up the apartment rather than continued fighting.
  • More Offscreen Moment of Awesome but Rick Deckard was one of the greatest Replicant hunters and barely survived dealing with four in the film. Only two of which he actually killed, too. Apparently, Joseph retired something between 100-200.
  • Elle successfully completes her revenge halfway through the season by killing Doctor M. Many series would have stretched out her quest through the entire season.
  • Davis successfully figures out the entire plot of the show from a trail of very minor pieces of evidence. Too bad her superiors aren't interested in the truth. She's also able to keep up with Marlowe in battle despite not knowing who he was at the time.
  • Elle leads a One-Man Army assault on Niander Wallace Senior's headquarters, eventually finding her way to his penthouse. From there, she finally finishes her revenge on the Doll Hunt. Notable moments from the conflict involve a rematch with Marlowe and Joseph serving as The Cavalry saving her via a sniper rifle before rescuing her from falling off the building.
  • Episode 12 focused on an astonishingly well-choreographed fight between Joseph and Marlowe. The animation is exceptionally fluid, and the audience gets a good sense of the amount of training and memorization that was needed for the motion capture artists to record it.
