- When the OP plays in the finale, but specifically the second half of it you’ve never heard before
- when the OP/ED gets used as a leitmotif for pivotal moments in the show, hearing the OP/ED is cool but hearing a somber instrumental version for stuff like Gon-san in HxH is cooler than if they just played the normal ending
