Awesome / DNA²

• As said on the main page, Junta's looks as the Mega Playboy are a Shout-Out to Gohan turning Super Saiyan 2. Then we see Ryuuji's thugs gaining his wrath, and we see the shout-out isn't just in the looks.
• In episode 4, Junta successfully speaking his mind to Tomoko and avoiding getting jumped by her, also demolishing the "my DNA is ordering me to do this" bullshit she had borrowed from Ryuuji to justify herself.
• In episode 8, Tomoko calmly shooting down her Stalker with a Crush... AKA Ryuuji, her cheating former boyfriend. Using his own DNA bullshit for added Irony.
• In episode 11, Karin vs. Ryuuji. Ryuuji has become much stronger than before, between getting shot by a DCM bullet designed to transform Junta into the Mega Playboy for good and absorbing the DNA and the abilities of multiple muscle-bound street fighters... And Karin fights him evenly, even kicking him into a marble stair the other side of the room, before he manages to absorb her DNA and becomes just too strong.
• In episode 12, Normal!Junta surviving getting hit by Ryuuji. Who, by this time, can shatter stone... And yet, Junta not only survived the No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, but punched him in the face.
  • When Junta finally goes Mega Playboy to fight him, it's Ryuuji who is on the receiving end of a Curb-Stomp Battle. And is so outmatched that he gets Blown Across the Room by the Battle Aura generated by the transformation.
• In episode 14 Karin has to fight Mori's robot and a Brainwashed and Crazy Ryuuji, and her gun has a barrel specific for DCM bullets, so she doesn't have a way to fight back effectively, as Ryuuji can still beat her in hand-to-hand and the robot is just invulnerable to hand-to-hand attacks. What does she do? She evades Ryuuji and the robot long enough to swap barrels to her gun and insert real bullets, gets them separated, wrecks the robot with a few well-placed rounds, and gets Mori at gunpoint. Had she been a little more ruthless and shot him before Lulala showed up, she would have won the final battle then and there.
• Episode 15 has a few:
  • Karin surviving a Brainwashed and Crazy Mega Playboy long enough to get back her gun and escape;
  • Junta taking back his body from the local embodiment of badassery and breaking through the brainwashing, multiple times and in spite of having gotten shot with a DCM bullet supposed to lock him into Mega Playboy status and enslaving him to Mori and Mori giving more power to the device supposed to keep him under control and as Mega Playboy. In the end he lost, but it took bringing the device to full power for that;
  • Karin has to face Lulala (who is apparently on par with her) and Ryuuji (who is far stronger) at the same time. Through clever planning, she wins: first she lures them in one of the amusement park's rides and has Ami seal the cabin, thus isolating Ryuuji from the radio waves keeping him brainwashed; after finding out Lulala wasn't controlled that way, she has to fight her the hard way, unwilling to kill her but with Lulala trying to do just that, and she manages to immobilize her until Mega Playboy shuts off power;
  • Junta taking care of his Mega Playboy side for good, ruining Mori's plan and completely throwing off the brainwashing;
  • But! Mori can still come back from the brink thanks to Lulala... Junta takes care of that;
  • Completely defeated, Mori tries to escape with Karin's Time Machine... And finds Yokomori who has come there to personally arrest him. Mori tries to hold him at gunpoint to escape anyway... Cue dozens of Time Cops.
    • When Mori first started attacking Karin, he had said he had sent an assassin after Yokomori, and that by then he was already dead. Turns out the assassin failed.
