In Shenmue III, I really like everything to do with the group that assemble to storm the castle. In any other story, this would be a rag-tag group of misfits (a local martial artist; a semi-retired grandmaster who now works as a fisherman; a shrine maiden), but here they're presented as a formidable force— and when they actually fight, they are indeed effective. It was a sequence that was very emblematic of the series' appeal (to me, anyway): of taking a very grounded and even mundane tone, but embracing and even celebrating it. No other series would have a shrine maiden fight with a broom and not make it into a joke.
