Awesome / Witch Hunter

• Tarras finally stopped being the Butt-Monkey and putting the smack down on those witches in Bairong!
• Anything Varete does. Anything. She would be a Hero Killer if she actually bothered to kill anyone instead of merely giving them a violent lesson in how weak they are in comparison to her.
• Lee is indubitably a villain and a fratricidal Jerkass, and the entire situation is a real Tear Jerker when you know the back-story, but see if you don't cheer just a little when he intervenes to stop the Mind Hive-possessed Xing from killing Yue, then proceeds to No-Sell a massive attack with a Punch Catch. Moments later, Lee ends the fight spectacularly. Just as the emperor had finished his grandiose speech about revealing his true power, even.
• Ryuwhan curb stomps just about everyone. And for those he can't, he still puts up a good showing.
• Tasha sniping Rose's supporter and Halloween clearing the way, showing off just how much they improved.
• Visul revealing her true powers, especially in Lee's flashback with her where she killed all of the Emperor's personal assassins sent after him. Even though in the present day, she undergoes the Worf Effect and has to get rescued by Tarras, as seen at the top of this page.
• The "Tasha's Past" Arc shows that even back when he was a normal human boy, Tasha was still a fearless Determinator. His first response to realizing that Aria is in serious trouble is to swipe a gun and ride out to the rescue. And then, when faced with the first witch who actually intends to kill him, although he is understandably scared out of his mind, he mans up and comes up with a cunning plan to defeat her that would have worked if the witch hadn't reinforced herself to be Immune to Bullets. Even when he keeps getting kicked around like a ragdoll, his absolute refusal to give up and will to keep fighting to the end actually gets the witch to sweat in trepidation for a moment.
• During the same arc, in the same fight as above, Edea Florence shows up to save Tasha, gives a Badass Boast that extends over four pages, throws up a huge Battlefield, then proceeds to vaporize the witch in a HUGE explosion of magic strong enough to light up the night. The aftermath makes it seem like a giant bottomless hole suddenly opened up in the middle of a city. This level of destruction puts even Tanya Doberg to shame. The kicker is that Edea didn't actually intend to go overboard. Edea accidentally made a bigger mess than Tanya would later in the timeline intentionally! Seeing Tasha wounded like he was unconsciously angered Edea to the point that she poured WAY more power into the spell than what was needed. No wonder Edea was considered to be the strongest WH of all.
