* And, by extension, When Tomoya and Nagisa forget Fuko for half a day, then remember when prompted by Koumura-sensei. Nagisa shouts out "Fuko-chan!" and they both turn to see her standing behind them. She had been following them the entire half-day, confident that they'd remember her.

* The tennis match in episode 18 is a cross of this and TearJerker. Tomoya subconsciously reveals that he's in love with Nagisa, when he quickly smacks away the hand of a tennis player who tries to help her. [[EveryoneCanSeeIt Kyou, Ryou, Tomoyo, and Kotomi are quick to pick up on this.]]

* Kotomi [[spoiler: receiving the teddy bear her parents sent.]] The entire arc is pretty much made of heartwarming, with all of the other main characters befriending her and coming together to help her just when she really needs it.

* Clannad is absolutely ''packed'' with these, but episode 18 of ''~After Story~'' takes the cake and eats it too- the scene where [[spoiler:Tomoya's estranged daughter Ushio tells him that she has to find the robot he bought for her rather than getting a new one when she lost it because it's her first present from her Papa, and Tomoya tearfully embraces her while promising to be a better father to her reduced me to tears. Followed by Tomoya himself crying openly on the train while telling Ushio about how he met Nagisa.]]
** Made insanely TearJerker level by the SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic with Negai wo Kanau Bashou (The Place Where Wishes Come True)'s second version, with the whole orchestra coming in just as Ushio starts crying in Tomoya's arms.

* The entire latter part of Fuko's storyline in the VisualNovel, particularly the end, where she's finally able to [[spoiler:wish her elder sister congratulations and happiness in marriage before her ghost disappears completely.]]

* One word: "[[SayMyName NAGISAAAAAAA!]]"
** To be precise, this moment comes in episode 22 when [[spoiler:Tomoya suddenly returns back to the foot of the hill where he met Nagisa, watching her walk away after he decided that they shouldn't have met when she died]]. Realizing where he is, Tomoya [[spoiler:calls out her name and starts running to her, embracing Nagisa as the colors of the setting turn vibrant again]]. Their conversation right afterwards is also very sweet.
