For all the horror you will encounter in Wicked City, it's got some cool moments and characters.
- Taki's fight when saving Makie after she's captured, especially when he punched through a demon's head, and when he's able to break the ribs of the demon holding him with his ribs on the tarmac.
- How he went back for Makie despite knowing it'll get him thrown out of the Corps is pretty damn awesome.
- Makie, despite her constant victimization, has her moments. Her end of the movie power up is fine, but she also saves Taki at the airport, is able to stop and restrain a demon that knocked out both Taki and another Black Guard agent, even if she didn't do it until after the... fingers, and broke a space-time barrier while getting fuzzle-dumplinged.
- The fact that she kept fighting after the... fingers can be seen as Makie's refusal to take said victimization dumped on her. Considering the type of world she and Taki are dealing with, that's pretty hardcore. And it's reinforced when, after Taki helps her, she keeps going on. As proved by her giving the Big Bad the fatal blow with her Femme Fatalons.
