History Heartwarming / DarkerThanBLACK

* Though it may be a rather bloody example of heartwarming, during the ending sequence of the second season's finale, you get to see that Hazuki prevailed in avenging Yoko's death.

* When November goes to fight Maki, we get a ''quadruple'' one. First, he gives July a note and tells him to go to that location if anything happens. Considering most people treat dolls as human-shaped surveillance equipment, the fact that he cared enough to ensure his safety really says something. Second, it turns out the note was to send July to Misaki--she's the only one November trusts, even though they barely even know each other. Third, when she asks July if he knows where November is, he just replies "Of course. I always keep track of my friends." For the normally emotionless dolls, that's ''really'' something. And finally, November goes against his rational nature and fights Maki a second time in order to avenge April.
* In the original series' episode 25, we have the part where Hei has completely ruined TheSyndicate's plans by choosing to TakeAThirdOption when given the choice between "letting the Syndicate kill all Contractors on the planet" and "destroy Japan by sealing off Hell's Gate"]], and the bad guys are scrambling to try to deal with this. Their boss decides he's going to pin all the blame on his SmugSnake underling and guns him down right in front of Kirihara. She calls him out and tries to arrest him, but even her ActionGirl skills aren't enough to take him down]]... at which point Hei comes to the rescue. But the real heartwarming bit is when he's about to [[ShockAndAwe zap]] the guy to a [[KarmicDeath much-deserved death]] and Kirihara yells, "No!" ...and Hei ''listens''.]]

* And lest we forget grizzly hard-ass Huang's character development arc. Shioko, a woman who deliberately betrayed Huang some time ago when she seduced him to get close to and kill a police officer,]] is targeted for assassination by the Syndicate, who orders Huang and Hei to do it. In the end, Huang can't come to kill Shioko, regardless of circumstances, because he really did fall in love with her. Hei tries to help them escape, but when Shioko sees Syndicate hitmen surrounding them, she realizes they can't escape and kills herself by running in front of a truck, thus accomplishing the mission and sparing Huang.]]

* TheReveal at the end of season one, despite Hei's gigantic hatred of her, Amber still loved him all the time and wanted to make him happy by going through with her gigantic plan. He finally realises this and makes peace with her just before she dies.
* The CoolDownHug between him and Amber was also very touching. After all the vitriol from his side, Hei realises he was wrong about his girlfriend and gives the only sign of his affection for her in a very meaningful way.

** And then there's Parcel and Champ, who jump all over the place with heart warming, funny, awesome, and tear jerker.

** Basically, Gaiden is just one big crowning moment of heartwarming between Yin and Hei, when it isn't being a massive tear jerker.
