History Heartwarming / DeathNote

**** It's both heartwarming and sad because it shows that in any other world, in ''any other scenario'', they could have been the best of friends. Alas, it was '''not''' meant to be. [[spoiler: A part of me ''sincerely'' hopes that Ryuk was lying about there being no life after death, and that Light and L get to play one last tennis match in hell... * [[ManlyTears sniffle]]* ]]
**** [[WildMassGuessing ...Or they could get reincarnated as brothers, or something...]]
**** WordOfGod says no. Mind you, [[HesJustHiding that hasn't stopped fandom]].

* Unrelated to Light and L, but... in chapter OneHundredAndEight, Near not only is calling all the survivors up again to keep working together, but if you look closely, there's that one shot of him playing as usual... [[spoiler: and he's eating a bar of chocolate, just like Mello used to [[hottip:* : Okay, you find a way to phrase that which doesn't make it clear that Mello dies]].]] This troper just couldn't stop smiling when I noticed that little tribute to his rival...aww. Just sniffly aww.

* This Troper can't believe that Aizawa's moment with his wife and daughter in the park after [[spoiler:he quits the task force]] isn't here yet. Doubled as a [[YourMileageMayVary tear jerker]] for this troper, too.

* Misa giving an L a peck on the cheek.

** Also episode 26 of the anime is similarly both heartwarming and tearjerker-worthy [[spoiler: Light ''[[AntagonistInMourning misses]]'' Ryuuzaki. He's ''lonely'' without him around.]] [[WhatASenselessWasteOfHumanLife In any other scenario they could have been the best of friends.]]

** WordofGod is that L was lying in the manga/anime, but in L:Change the World, it is revealed [[spoiler: that in that universe, L did truly think of Light as a friend and is seen mourning him, since L outlives Light in this AlternateContinunity.]]

** ...and doing her chores for her too! Such a great brother!

* The scene in the Yotsuba arc where Misa sits in Light's lap is really sweet.

* The scene where [[spoiler:Near asks Rester to escort him to Japan, because he's never boarded a plane alone before]]

** Many of Light and Ryuk's interactions are oddly sweet- [[VillainsOutShopping like when watching wrestling matches or playing]] MarioKart together.

* The scene where [[spoiler:Near asks Lester to escort him to Japan, because he's never boarded a plane alone before]]

* The conversation between Light and L on the roof and the subsequent [[BLAM slightly awkward foot-massage scene]] are oddly [[TearJerker/DeathNote sad]] and heartwarming simply because out of context, it seems like L an d Light should be best friends - [[spoiler: too bad Light's about to kill L.]]

* The task force going out to look for Light [[spoiler:after he flees the Yellow Box Warehouse]], especially since they defy Near to do it.

* Late in the series, Soichiro tells his wife that he'll let her divorce him due to the trouble his involvement in the Kira case has brought the Yagami family. She is shocked and refuses, saying that she'll always stand by him, no matter how bad things get. He slumps in relief and thanks her. Seriously, who wouldn't want a love interest that was ''that'' devoted?

* In ''L: Change the [=WorLd=]'', "You're a good girl. I believed in you", and "Maki, welcome home. Make tomorrow a good day too."

* Lil' Mikami. "Thank you, Teru!" D'awww.

** Many of Light and Ryuk's interactions are oddly sweet- [[VillainsOutShopping like when watching wrestling matches or playing]] [[SuperMarioBrothers Mario Kart]] together.

* "I feel you are the first friend I've ever had."

** L calling Light his friend, reaching out to another human being for what's probably the first time in his life. For a while it even seems like Light is reconsidering trying to kill L, then quickly becomes a {{Tearjerker}} when we see that he still wants to.
*** Although, considering that L was also lying when he told Light that...

* In ''Relight 2'' L pays a secret visit to the Wammy Orphans.

* Light takes a break from his busy schedule to help Sayu with her homework.

* -->'''L:''' [[HoYay You’ve been staring at me for the last five minutes.]] Let me guess, it's because I’m the only one eating cake, right? Here.
