• Chapter 13 has Lelouch say to Soifon with regards to their friendship "While I may not always be worthy of your friendship, I shall always value it."
• Chapter 14 when canon changes dramatically by having Soifon decide to go with Yoruichi. Soifon brings up Yoruichi's promise to her and gets a pat on the head. The whole scene brings a soft smile to this troper's face.
• The end of chapter 16. Yuna tells Lelouch to come back to 10th Division with her saying that it's his home.
• Most of chapter 18 where the Lelouch/Yuna shipping is concerned. More specifically the dancing between them and Yuna laying her head on Lelouch's shoulder afterwards only for the chapter to end with them kissing each other.
• Byakuya's proposal to Hisana (some fans have actually said the chapter feels like a case of Tastes Like Diabetes.)
• Chapter 24 during the All Just a Dream segment, Lelouch is unsurprised that no one has come to see him in recovery. Later, when he wakes up for real Hisana, Byakuya, Rangiku, Shisato, Naomi, Nemu, Vera, Ryou, Isshin, Kendra, Stefan and Kukaku are all at his bedside and at the end of the chapter Lelouch realizes he actually has friends he can trust.
• Chapter 26, Hisana and Rukia's reunion.
• Chapter 27, after Lelouch rescues Nemu from Mayuri and geasses the twisted captain into never harming Nemu ever again. The scene following that is so fluffy that going "dawwwww" is inevitable.
• At the end of chapter 28 seeing Lelouch being so nice to Vera due to her PTSD Missing hand and missing eye and comforting her skittishness and telling her how good he's been to her going out of his way to give her a family. It made this troper go "awwwwwww".
• Chapter 30, Lelouch pulling Momo out of her Heroic BSOD after he and the phantoms murder the Atrumier family.
• Hisana and Rukia finally managing to come to terms with each other.
• Lelouch deciding to pass his legacy to Momo.
  • Also, from the same chapter, the entire scene with Susanna and the aftermath. Four words. I am not alone.
• The baby is my future.
  • To expound on the above in a bit of detail. Susanna had just told Lelouch she doesn't want the baby to ruin his future ambitions and wants and the above is his response.
  • Too bad this went straight to Harsher in Hindsight due to three simple words, "The fetus died."
• After Hisana defeats Zommari the sisterly moment she shares with Rukia is so fluffy and sweet
• Lelouch and Nemu getting back together in chapter 69 is definitely this
  • From the same chapter, the Ichi Hime fandom, this troper included, most likely enjoyed Orihime calling Ichigo her hero to his face and Ichigo telling her he was glad to be such
    • That entire scene even after Ichigo rescues Orihime from Needles and his goons is so fluffy and sweet.
• The wedding in chapter 74 when Rukia and Kaien are giving their vows
  • Later the same chapter the romantic interaction between Ichigo and Orihime is so touching with Ichigo asking permission to fondle Orihime. It seems Chivalry isn't dead after all.
• Yuna is Back From the Dead!
• Orihime’s attempts to calm half-hollow Ichigo’s berserk rampage are easily this
• Yumichika’s interactions with Shisato after Ikkaku’s death definitely qualify as well
• When Hisana kisses Byakuya's cheek and tells him that she's pregnant and follows up with "Happy Birthday Byakuya-sama" it brought a smile to this troper's face
• Everything involving Ichigo and his nakama from his dad telling him that he’s just going to be his dad from now on he lost his powers AGAIN, to Kukaku saying there’s always an extra bedroom at the Shiba manor to Ichigo saying to Lelouch he knows who to call on if he needs assistance touched this troper so tenderly.
• Gin’s speech to Rangiku after she delivers her What the Hell, Hero? moment to him.
• This troper was already somewhat attached towards Talbumosuke because of his credibility as a decent villain and his death scene made my lip quiver but when he reunites with Mia in hell and the two are holding each other I was so happy for them. I know they're evil, but it made me really happy to see that, even in a place of fire and burning and smoke two people can still love each other. It was beautiful.
• When Ashido, Nemu, Byakuya, Kukaku, Yosei, and Susanna all pile into the archives to finish Lelouch's plot to Take down the Central Forty Six while he's asleep in the corner. It really shows how close knit of a bond Lelouch has with his allies.
• Most of chapter 94 as a whole is this mixing along with some Tear Jerker moments as well.
• The scene between Rukia and Sode no Shirayuki in chapter 96
• Everything involving the Kuchiki family in chapter 104 from Ichigo finding out that Kyo and Isao are unhurt to Hisana tearfully asking Byakuya why he didn't ask for her help, in what will make readers reminiscent of Soifon's tearful inquiry to Yoruichi
• Ichigo telling Orihime that she’s his girl. (though the Ichigo X Rukia fandom is probably hissing and shouting big noes)
• Ichigo breaking free from his seal and the first thing that happens is his reunion with Orihime.
• Byakuya revealing in the Aizen’s Revenge arc that he’s alive and well and explaining that he thought he would have to defend the lesser nobles from Aizen’s group, but they all banded together and helped him to live
• The Reveal that the woman in crimson armor, claiming to be Rita’s herald, is the spirit of Mari Akari. The following scene doubles as a Tear Jerker as well. The fact that Ichigo is crying, though he denies it, should be an indication as to the effect the scene is meant to have on the reader.
  • Continuing from that same thread, her reunion with Yuna the very next chapter is equally heartwarming.
