Just how bad-ass are you when you have stuffed bunny heads on your hat?  And nobody makes fun of you because of it?

1 It would take someone fairly brave (and/or stupid) to make fun of Vita when she's armed and armored...

2 Or someone with a fetish. Hey, Vita! Beat me! Beat me!

3 What's more impressive is that Vita's role in the final battle was probably the best tribute to one of the characters despite her not having a named opponent to lay the smack down on.  I felt a bit let down by most of the other face-offs during the final fight.

It's also funny that in StrikerS Vita's filling the role of the battle-hardened mentor character to the rookies.  Signum, who always seemed the battle hardened world-weary vet in A's, should have had that role but stays out of the picture most of the time.  Of course, the reason Signum seems the vet in A's is because she's the only adult out of the major combat characters...

4 Whether you speak softly or loudly, as long as you carry a big stick/hammer, people listen. Vita was clearly the latter of the two in this case. And when you look at her motives for being antagonistic in A's, you can't really blame her.
