Aoi Shiro/YMMV

• Awesome Music: The aforementioned "Michiyuku Shi wo Koe" (also known as A Trailblazer Surpasses Death).
  • Izanami's pretty epic too with its vocals.
  • Ryuujoukohaku (used in Kaya and Kohaku's fight).
• Funny Moments: Migiwa's route: Migiwa taking advantage of Syouko's numb legs to kiss her in front of her friends as thanks for the previous night's CPR (if you had chosen to help her), following up with several suggestive-sounding references to the event. Yasumi's reactions--to each sentence and during the following breakfast--are hilarious.
• Goddamn Bats: Those pesky water oni, weak enough to be defeated by a faintly-powered wooden sword but strong in numbers and very dangerous if they can get a hold of you. A few bad ends involve one pulling you into the water while you're crossing the stepping stones, for a cheap kill. In quite a few more, they just swarm you and rip you to shreds.
• Moe: Yasumi and Nami.
• Moment of Awesome: Kaya's good end has two back-to-back moments of awesome: During her final fight with Munetsugu, when it seems like he's getting the upper hand, she fakes her usual attack, switches hands, and knocks him out with her scabbard. The second comes moments later when Munetsugu--who had been left unconscious in the underground sanctuary--appears out of nowhere to slice Ba Rouryuu into pieces, asks Syouko to take care of his daughter, smiles, and sacrifices himself to close the Gate. Talk about a show stealer...
  • Heck, all the characters have one. Pretty much anytime Michiyuku Shi wo Koe starts playing (like in the above) you know awesome is about to occur.
  • The Grand Route is essentially just a series of crowning moments for pretty much every character. Even the monk (though his awesomeness is only briefly related after the fact).
• Tear Jerker - Although most of the endings are downers, Yasumi's "Sleeping Beauty" (Migiwa destroys Yasumi's spirit, leaving Syouko crying over Yasumi's soulless, seemingly-sleeping body.) and "The Gap in the Shape of You in My Heart" (Yasumi erases herself from Syouko's memory as her last act as a human; Syouko washes up on the beach, reaches for someone's hand that ought to be there, and starts screaming because of the pain in her heart.) normal endings are are the worst.
