History Heartwarming / CodeGeass

** At the end of the third movie she is seen outside of the excited Kallens apartment (the latter having shed her IllGirl facade), waving cheerfully as she rushed to school. Nice to see she took a liking to the real Kallen.

* In the outros, we get lots of official art, some of which are quite heartwarming. The big ones were a younger and very happy-looking Lloyd and Rahskata with what looks like a younger Cecile, and a pint-sized Nunnally wearing her mom's [[NiceHat ridiculous hat]].

* R2 episode 24, after the "Don''t you hate me conversation" Lelouch tells C.C. not to fight Kallen as she'll lose, she thanks him for being concerned and then tell him to come back alive, as that will make her smile. This is especially heartwarming as it refers to the previous heartwarming scene where Lelouch persuaded C.C not to die by promising to make her smile.

** Despite Lelouch [[ZeroApprovalGambit becoming the Demon Emperor and the most hated person in the world]], she still loved him, having helped C.C. recover his body and setting the stage for Anime/LelouchOfTheResurrection.

* A minor moment, but when Suzaku is knighted, no one except for Lloyd claps initally, then General Darlton starts clapping, this is heartwarming because Darlton is one of the few high ranked Britannians who ignores the fact that he's a honorary britanian and sees him for the talented soldier that he is.

* At the beginning of Lelouch of the Re;surrection, Villetta is seen holding her and Ohgi's baby son.
* In Lelouch of the Re;surrection, Cornelia understandably still loathes Lelouch for what he did to Euphemia. However, when Lelouch takes off his Zero mask to beg for her help, she lets go of her anger and [[EnemyMine joins forces with him]] to help save Nunnally from the Zilkhstan terrorists.
* Lelouch looks at the video of Kaname Ohgi and Villetta Nu's wedding party.
* Lelouch and Suzaku reconciling in the Re;surrection film.
* During the climax of Lelouch of the Re;surrection, Lloyd screams in rage after [[spoiler:Cecile is shot]] and spends the rest of the battle holding onto her. He is relieved when the fight ended as they could now get her some help.
* At the end of Lelouch of the Re;surrection, Lelouch decides to go with C.C. and travel the world by her side, even takes the name L.L. as [[WackyMarriageProposal a way of proposing to her]].

* In ''Lelouch of the Resurrection'', LELOUCH LIVES AND HE REALLY DID BECOME IMMORTAL (at least in this continuum). And at the end Lelouch gives up a chance to rejoin Suzaku and Nunnally to [[WalkingTheEarth walk the earth]] with C.C. (while indirectly proposing to her by calling himself L.L.).
** Nunnally finally being able to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lelouch, getting to say all the things that she was unable to say. This time, all without the lies, secret personas, weapons of mass destructions, or Lelouch's imminent death to worry about.

* In the second compilation movie, '''SHIRLEY LIVES.'''

* In ''Lelouch of the Resurrection'', LELOUCH LIVES AND HE REALLY DID BECOME IMMORTAL (at least in this continuum). And at the end Lelouch gives up a chance to rejoin Suzaku and Nunnally to [[WalkingTheEarth walk the earth]] with C.C. (while indirectly proposing to her by calling himself L.L.).

* In ''Lelouch of the Resurrection'', LELOUCH LIVES AND HE REALLY DID BECOME IMMORTAL (at least in this continuum).]] And at the end Lelouch gives up a chance to rejoin Suzaku and Nunnally to [[WalkingTheEarth walk the earth]] with C.C. (while indirectly proposing to her by calling himself L.L.).

* The end of Season 1: Lelouch and C.C. trigger a trap that links their minds, making them see [[spoiler:events from C.C.'s multi-century lifespan, including several painful and torturous "deaths"]]. A despondent C.C. says that she's been alive for so long, she's forgotten who her loved ones are, and even what it means to be human. Lelouch replies: ''"You're wrong. You're not alone, because I'm here. We made a contract, remember? If the world considers you a witch, then that makes me a warlock."'' If anything breaks the constant comparisons between Lelouch and [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] into tiny pieces, this scene should be it.
* When [[spoiler:C.C. kisses Lelouch]] in the first season finale.

* The interactions between Lelouch and [[spoiler:mindwiped C.C.]]

* When [[spoiler:Kallen is captured by Li Xingke in R2, Lelouch visibly panics and swears to her that he'll save her no matter what]], even though doing so meant jeopardizing a vital mission.
* [[spoiler: Rolo's final fight and death]] may be the most [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome badass]], [[TearJerker heartbreaking]], or utterly sweet thing in the entire series. Or all three.

** This quote about that moment is also all three. Awesome because [[spoiler: Lelouch is [[LetThemDieHappy letting Rolo die happy,]]]] Tearjerker because [[spoiler: Rolo is in denial about Lelouch hating him,]] and Heartwarming because [[spoiler: Lelouch is serious when he says it and has truly accepted Rolo as his familly.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Lelouch:''' Rolo, why did you save me, after all I've done to you?]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Rolo:''' Because, you're a liar, big brother. It was a lie wasn't it? What you said about trying to kill me and about hating me and all of that.]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Lelouch:''' Of course, and you saw right trough me didn't you? Just what I'd expect from my little brother.]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Rolo:''' That's right, I thought so. 'Cause I know who you really are inside your heart. I know everything about you, big brother. (Closes his eyes)]]\\
[[spoiler:'''Lelouch:''' (Puts Rolo's locket and cellphone in his hand) … Yes, you got it right. Your big brother's just a liar.]]
** [[spoiler:Then Lelouch hangs Rolo's locket over his grave. The locket he had meant to give to Nunally. One would think he would commemorate it to his (as far as he knows) dead sister, but instead he gives it to his dead brother.]]
* [[spoiler: C.C., without her memory. Cut finger scene. Episode 16.]]
* When Lelouch, in R2, is [[spoiler:revealed by Schneizel,]] he chooses to play the role in order to [[spoiler: save Kallen, who still believes in him to this point. As she walks away, he utters "live, Kallen" ]]
* Episode 24 of R2, [[spoiler:Cornelia and Guilford finally reuniting. Who cares that the series will almost certainly never explain how Guilford survived a ''nuclear explosion'' of all things, it was nice to see something GOOD happen to the guy for once.]]

** The "Lelouch, don't you hate me?" convo from 24. [[spoiler:Too bad about the MomentKiller]].
* The final episode where Nunnally [[spoiler:(along with many of his former allies who thought they were going to be executed) cries (more like utterly breaks down) for Lelouch, realizing his sacrifice, and saying that he "was the only thing she needed in this world" to be happy...]] as the crowd around her goes wild cheering for [[spoiler:Zero(zaku), the man who had just assassinated Lelouch]]
** It's also heartwarming because in cheering the man for [[spoiler: killing Lelouch, cheering for Zero, they are actually unwittingly cheering for Lelouch himself, giving him quite the touching send off instead of the intended malevolent one]].
** Despite the TearJerker, there's something strangely heartwarming about [[spoiler:Lelouch and Suzaku's final conversation and flashback. The fact that after everything their friendship has gone through, they still have such faith in one another...]]
** Yes, and [[spoiler:Lelouch gently stroking Suzaku's face/mask and tenderly hugging the man who just stabbed him. After everything the two of them have been through, that final moment of friendship was incredibly powerful.]]
** [[spoiler: Kallen finally having [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent a normal school life]] (even wearing her hair the way she likes it) with her biological mother in a free Japan]], [[spoiler: Nunnally and Suzaku (as Zero) working together for peace]], [[spoiler: Jeremiah and Anya in the orange farm]], and [[spoiler:C.C WalkingTheEarth, having outgrown her [[DeathSeeker death wish]] thanks to the time she spent with Lelouch]]...

** Euphie and Suzaku are just utterly adorable in general. [[spoiler:No wonder how it ended was such a [[TearJerker gut-punch]].]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUxpHwG7uec A Picture Drama]]. It's just... The surviving student council member get a chance to reminisce, visited by [[spoiler:Zerozaku]] and Nunnally, while Villetta and Sayoko look outside at them from the windows, discussing how things are finally looking up. Then the real moment: Jeremiah and Anya set off a bunch of fireworks, ''as per Lelouch's final request'', so that everyone can enjoy them together one last time. After some parting words from Suzaku and a mention by the council that Rolo and Shirley are watching this with them, the final chronological scene for the ''Anime/CodeGeass'' anime canon is [[http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5632/sample612c9cc3de97e66b8.jpg this]]. In one last moment it was shown, that in some way, even ''Lelouch'' [[EarnYourHappyEnding got his happy ending]]. It's also a callback to the "musings on glass" mentioned above, as well as to several other recurring elements: Anya happy at finally having her memories "within her", Jeremiah's loyalty and [[spoiler: carrying out his master's last wish]], Villetta and Ohgi's wedding, as well as more info on [[spoiler: how they got engaged]], and even ''Nina'' is shown to still be doing a lot better.
* In Turn 6 of ''R2'', Suzaku attempts to see if Lelouch [[spoiler: has regained his memories]] through phoning Nunnally, [[spoiler: whose become the new Viceroy by this point]] and having Lelouch speak to her. Not only does Rolo [[spoiler: use his Geass to buy Lelouch time to explain to his sister what he's about to do]], but what Lelouch says to Nunnally ought to have a place here:

** The fact that he then proceeds to [[spoiler: speak to her as though she's a stranger in order to throw Suzaku off]] is a mild TearJerker, to boot.

* R2 Turn 9 [[spoiler: Li interupting the wedding. As he's fighting guards he wonders if Tianzi remembers the pinky promise they made. She waves her arm in the pinky position and shouts his name. ''there is no more doubt in my heart''! She opens her arms and Li rushes to her. Every other relationship has so much baggage, the pure loyalty and trust between them pulls the heart strings.]]
* A small one from R2 Turn 24: Villetta tries to mask her concern for Ohgi and the Britannian soldier she's having a conversation with turns to her and says "I don't mind". [[spoiler:Heartbreakingly, she and Ohgi were responsible for the ShipSinking between Lelouch and Kallen, Lelouch's final falling astray, and thusly, the predicament at hand, the Zero Requiem.]]
* R2 episode 12 gives us Cupid Day. Shirley gets perhaps the most ''uninterrupted'' time with Lelouch of the whole series [[spoiler: that isn't gut-wrenchingly sad]].

* Episode 13 of R2 (even though [[spoiler: it ended '''''[[TearJerker horribly]]''''']]), where Shirley [[spoiler: with all her pre-geass memories back]] falls almost to her death off a building. Lelouch grabs her by the hand, and Suzaku is holding onto Lelouch's legs. The whole thing is heartwarming in that it shows not only a touching moment of Lulu and Shirley, but also Suzaku and Lelouch working together.
** Though it's also awesome, the fact Shirley has ''no hesitation'' in supporting Lelouch [[spoiler: even knowing he's Zero and responsible for her father's death among other things]] says a lot about how much she loves him. Shirley is the ''only'' person to look at Lelouch in his entirety and still say she loves him. Her thoughts on how [[spoiler: Lelouch is all alone and that she wants to be the honest thing in his life filled with lies]] prove it.
* Pretty much any scene that shows Nunally, Suzaku, and Lelouch as children is a mix between this and TearJerker, seeing how it all ended up.
* The scene where Lelouch plots for Suzaku to become Nunally's Knight, before discovering he and Suzaku are enemies. Yes, it is a bit creepy that Lelouch plans out the lives of those closest to him like [[TheChessmaster chess pieces,]] but this reveals how much he trusts Suzaku and also how he hopes that Nunally will give Suzaku a reason to live. This is also the last time we see all three of them happy together before [[TheReveal Lelouch figures out Suzaku is the Lancelot's pilot]] and everything goes to hell. [[spoiler:Of course, in the end, Lelouch actually got his wish since Suzaku DOES end up protecting Nunally and finds the will to live.]]

** Similarly, the fact that [[spoiler: Charles sent Lelouch and Nunnally to Japan to keep them safe from V.V. Yes, he's a dick. Yes, he views human beings as trash. Yes, he wants to destroy reality. Yes, he's willing to drive twenty miles out of his way if there are [[KickTheDog puppies to be kicked in that direction]]. And yes, he didn't care enough about them to actually stop the fighting or his plots for instrumentality, but it can't be denied that somewhere, deep, deep, DEEP down Chuckie really does care about his children (or at least the ones he has with Marianne).]]

* During the bit where C.C [[spoiler: is about to surrender her Geass to Charles and finally die, Lelouch says that if she truly wants to die, she should go to it smiling. He then promises to give her that smile.]] The fact that he manages to make her postpone fulfilling the wish she has had for centuries would be great enough on its own, but it's even better that by that point he's stopped trying to talk her out of it, showing he respects her decision even if he doesn't understand it, and just wants her to be happy when she achieves it. Yet another one of the series' Heartwarming {{Tearjerker}}s.
* Every time Zero!Lelouch is having a phone conversation with anyone of student council while... well, being ''Zero'' is one. Especially after [[spoiler: Rolo`s death]] when Lelouch tells Rivalz that he probably won`t be able to fulfil his promise about fireworks... well, that one is more of a {{TearJerker}}, but counts as Heartwarming as well.

* In the final picture drama, the Student Coucil's memories have been restored. They know Rolo wasn't really Lelouch's brother but they still care about him and miss him.
* Lelouch forgiving Rolo after [[spoiler:his HeroicSacrifice, he even buries his corpse in a grave he dug '''with his own hands''' so he can rest in peace]].

* After Jeremiah not only spares Anya's life at the climax of a heated battle between the two of them, but restores her corrupted memory using his [[AntiMagic Anti-Geass abilities]], the two of them are shown in the epilogue contently picking oranges together. The fate which Jeremiah had sneered at when Gilford suggested it to be his future has ''actually come to pass'', and not only is neither he nor Anya bothered by it at all, they actually seem to have ''found some peace'' in their retirement from the Britannian Military. Made even sweeter by the implication Jeremiah has adopted Anya as her caretaker after the girl has spent most of her life alone [[spoiler: and a pawn in Charles and Marianne's schemes.]]

* In the second compilation movie, ''SHIRLEY LIVES.''
* In Lelouch of the Resurrection, [[spoiler:LELOUCH LIVES AND HE REALLY DID BECOME IMMORTAL (at least in this continuum).]] And at the end [[spoiler:Lelouch gives up a chance to rejoin Suzaku and Nunnally to [[WalkingTheEarth walk the earth]] with C.C. (while indirectly proposing to her by calling himself L.L.)]].

* [[spoiler: Rolo's final fight and death]] may be the most [[CrowningMomentofAwesome badass]], [[TearJerker heartbreaking]], or utterly sweet thing in the entire series. Or all three.

* In the second compilation movie, ''SHIRLEY LIVES.''

* In the first compilation movie, when Lelouch and Nunnally are about to depart for Japan, their half-siblings are there to silently bid them farewell, many of them sadly looking away or looking on. Not to mention Jeremiah (who looks like [[MyGreatestFailure he's about to cry]]) and Andreas sadly saluting. This also serves as a TearJerker, because the next time Lelouch and Nunnally see these people again is on the opposite side of the war.

* From R1, before the Battle of Narita.

Not to mention Jeremiah and Andreas sadly saluting. This also serves as a TearJerker, because the next time Lelouch and Nunnally see these people again is on the opposite side of the war.

* Milly and Rivalz protecting Nina after the Fileja incident. Especially when Rivalz risks his life for Nina later on, because he's Nina's friend.

* Easy to miss but in episode 2 of R2 CC's smile when Lelouch calls her a witch. You can almost see her relief that he, and their partnership are back.
