Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

  • The combined attacks of every single person Ushio and Tora saved during the course of the series at the climax. Resulting in scenes like Hakumen no Mono taking a ship to the face or an airliner plowing through kokuen.
  • The weak Izuna, when told things would be decided in a battle, and he was the only one not locked up, all but immediately said, "Okay, where's my opponent?!".
    • Not to mention that time when, despite being impaled on Blood Robe's naginata, proceeds to use his tail and body to shatter the weapon and give Ushio a fighting chance. Or the fact that he managed to pickpocket the comb from Ushio's pockets when he was turned into a crazy beast by overusing the spear.
  • Chapter 212 shows us the first battle between the Beast Spear and Hakumen no Mono. It was an utter Curb-Stomp Battle, with Hakumen screaming of terror as the Spear obliterated its tails. Hakumen barely managed to survive by encasing the Spear in a lead cocoon made from its remaining tails, and fleeing all the way to Japan before it could break free and resume the chase.
  • Tora, alone, Curb-Stomp Battle Gamin, an entire group of 5 head youkais. Even more so because, up untill then, the Gamin-sama were hyped up as pretty though monsters, and they're shown blocking the Beast Spear and wounding Ushio easily. Tora, in short order, proceed to literally pancake the son in the concrete with one slam, bite the grandfather in half and, when the three surviving members bite him in his arms and head, he laughs at them and proceed to unleash his lightning, frying them all to charcoal.
  • In episode 35 of the anime/chapter 296 of the manga, although it didn't do much in the long-run, Tora rushed in and punched Hakumen no Mono in the face. In the manga, it got a whole two pages to itself to accommodate the awesome moment.
  • Trapped inside Ayakashi's stomach, Ushio accidentally rips off the red cloth from the spear, not knowing that it was its Power Limiter. The result? Not only the spear stabs Ayakashi's real head squarely in the eye, but it also allows Ushio to plow through Ayakashi's entire body like a burning hot knife through butter.
  • Hitotsuki vs the western Serpent Yokai: the latter is faster, hits harder and is too hard-skinned to feel Hitotsuki's attacks, so what does he do? Answer: use his serpent mouths to block off the enemy's heads, proceed to remind him that, in spite of his faults, he has a healthy appetite and proceeds to swallow him whole in one gulp, even commenting on him having a terrible taste.
  • Hyo's final battle against Guren: step 1: absorbing Guren's incredibly powerful lightning attack in his Magical Eye. Step 2: gouge out said eye and shove it down Guren's bladed mouth. At first useless, Guren stops smirking when he notices that Hyo, somehow, merged paper talismans inside his arm and use them to detonate the eye inside Guren's stomach, blowing him up. Guren screaming in fear like the bitch he is is the icing on the cake.
