Awesome / RWBY Zero

• The story's first one probably comes in Chapter 4, where Arturia faces off with Ruby, Jaune, Blake, and Ren to determine if she will pull Jaune out of Beacon for cheating his way in. As expected given she is a Servant, it does not go well for the huntsmen, as the King of Knights systematically picks them apart while barely trying. Even when Ruby and Jaune pull out one of their wild plans that usually spell victory in RWBY, all it takes is a single Prana Burst and they are instantly expunged. It sets the stage that no matter how much stronger aura may make regular humans, Heroic Spirits are still in a league of their own.
• Chapter 7- As terrifying as it is, Kirei combines his aura, Executor training, and Reinforcement Magecraft in order to take down Yang, the strongest member of Team RWBY, in one punch, even putting the poor girl in a coma on live tv.
• Chapter 11- Blake puts up a valiant defense of a comatose Yang against Mercury, giving the far more skilled fighter a run for his money.
  • Adam finishing the job, cutting Mercury's head up just as he's about to kill Yang and Blake.
• Chapter 12- Gilgamesh and Kirei, of all people, arrive just in time to stop Cinder from performing her canon execution of Pyrrha. They then restrain the new Fall Maiden and reveal they'd been playing her for a sap during their entire team-up, using her as a battery to kickstart the Sixth Holy Grail War.
