• The ending of the very first episode. After spending most of the episode being loud, persistent, and largely ineffective against Akito and the other boys, The final straw is when Akito openly threatens to expose the teachers' photo, at which point Sana decides she's had enough. She proceeds to swipe a paint gun from one of the other boys and swiftly shoots Akito in the eye immediately after his threat, all while donning an uncharacteristically stoic look.
• Sana slaps Akito just a few hours later for not only having the other boys dump her friend Mami into a pond, but also flat-out admitting that he doesn't care that Sana's angry about it.
• Sana finally defeats Akito by beating him at his own game and blackmailing him with a photo of his pants down. The next day, it's followed by Sana succeeds to force him to sincerely apologize in front of all of the girls in their classroom, especially Mami.

• The climax of the Mansion of Water arc. To shoot the last scene of the film, the crew set the representing mansion on fire and Sana has to walk out the front door of the burning building and act her last scene with Naozumi.

The fanatical director refuses to stop shooting or let anyone go in to rescue her because they'll only get one chance at the scene and Sana is at a very real risk of dying. Then she forces herself to her feet, shouts out that she's coming, and steadily and unflinchingly walks out of the blazing building, passing the entrance literally seconds before it collapses in blazing ruin behind her! She and Naozumi perform the final scene flawlessly, the movie is completed and becomes a huge success, and Sana proves herself to not only be a real star, but also to have nerves of steel.
