Ensemble Dark Horse: Igari Juuzo, a time displaced samurai who managed to retain control after being possessed by a Horror and gave Rei a tough fight, actually outclassing him in human form. He is probably the only Horror ever considered to be a Worthy Opponent by any Makai knight.
Heartwarming Moments: The end of the Beast of the White Night special is filled with this. There's Rin using her magic to create butterflies so she can make her brother, Tsubasa, smiles, which he did. There's also Kouga seeing the spirit of his parents happily together and very proud of their son, after which Kouga bow to them in respect. And the final scene, with Kouga coming home to find Kaoru there, finally reuniting with her.
Moral Event Horizon: Barago's Face–Heel Turn in KIBA Gaiden is only considered complete after he kills an illusion of his deceased mother.
Tear Jerker: Episode 15 of Makai Senki. Flashback during Kouga and his friends' training with Wataru Shijima. Everything seems to be going well, with Kouga and his friends forming a strong bond of friendship and Wataru being proud of their ability, until the last minute where a Horror comes to the village where the training is being held and kills all of Kouga's friend, while he could only watch as it devours them. It makes Kouga killing the Horror in the present time much more satisfying.
Visual Effects of Awesome: Soukoku no Maryu is a visual feast throughout the entire movie, justified by the increased budget for it. Special mention goes to the climax, especially the fight against the Maryu.
Makai Senki
Magnificent Bastard: Sigma Fudo, aka "The Man in the Red Mask", was once a Makai Priest who was passed up for inheriting the title of "Flash Knight LORD" in favor of his twin brother Leo. Believing Alchemy and Priests were more suited to protecting humanity rather than Knights, Sigma secretly allies with the Horrors, crafting powerful tools and attacks Makai Knights to brand them with the Seal of Destruction as part of a plan to assimilate them into a powerful Horror. Luring the Makai Order into his trap, Sigma nearly erases them alongside with the Horrors to bring about his desired utopia, letting nothing stand in the face of his goal for world peace.
