** In a way, any time Django comes close to losing his restraint when he sees something awful being done to Broomhilda at Candieland, putting his hand on his pistol with a face of TranquilFury. The man is clearly enraged the entire time at how his beloved wife is being mistreated.

* In the opening, Schultz gives the slaves the means to escape, handing them the key to escape their chains, telling them where the North Star is, and handing them the shotgun to kill one of the Speck brothers with.

*** What seals it all is when Django asks why a white man like Schultz would care about what happens to Django and why he'd care about reuniting him with his wife. His answer speaks volumes about what he thinks about his new partner.
--->"I've never given anybody their freedom before, and now that I have I feel vaguely responsible for you. Plus, when a German meets a real-life Siegfried, that's kind of a big deal."

* [[spoiler: Right before he shoots the sorry bastards who had him killed, Django shouts the name of the poor slave (D'Artagnan) whom they killed with their dogs so the bastards know ''exactly'' who he is avenging before they die. Granted, it's a horrifically violent scene, but it also proves that Django really did care about seeing a fellow slave suffer a horrible death, even though he had to pretend not to.]]
* Right at the end, Django has a flashback to Schultz telling him that he's going to be "[[FastestGunInTheWest the Fastest Gun in the South]]". This is heartwarming for two reasons; one, it shows just how much respect and hope Schultz has for Django. Two, it means that [[spoiler: the last image we have of Schultz is the fatherly mentor, rather than the pathetic, huddled corpse that's just been tossed aside in a shed with its face turned to the wall]].

* ''Everything'' between Django and Hildi. They clearly have an operatic level of mutual love -- he would walk through hellfire for her, and she will wait until the end of time for him.

** After taking Django to the saloon, Schultz pours him a beer and immediately makes it clear to Django that he ''hates'' slavery, cementing their relationship early on as one of partners and equals.

* The smile on that one slave's face after Django kills the mine's slave drivers and rides back towards Candieland. It's just such a contrast to the sullen DeathGlare he gave Django earlier when he believed he was just another slaver. You can see Django's earned his respect.

* The friendship between Django and Schultz. The last time Django sees Schultz [[spoiler:or at least his corpse]], he tells him "Auf Wiedersehen" -- which, as Schultz has pointed out, means "Until we meet again".

** An unusual one but when Schultz is aiming at Big Daddy, he notices Django watching him eagerly. He turns to him and hands him the rifle for him to use. It feels a lot like a father letting his son shoot. A highly irregular father-son relationship but a heartwarming one regardless.

** When Schultz speaks to Broomhilda in his room, she is clearly on edge, no doubt assuming she is about to be raped. However, throughout the entire scene, Schultz treats her very kindly, pouring her a drink, and chatting amicably with her in German. He then reveals that he's there to help her escape and seems genuinely happy at the prospect of reuniting her and Django. For someone who has no real reason to care, it's clear Schultz is invested in seeing his friend rescue his wife.

** Crowning Music of Heartwarming, the song ''I Got A Name'' by Jim Croce, playing during the friendship montage of Django and Schultz.
* Excluding Schultz's friendship with Django and Broomhilda, the scene at the beginning where Schultz treats the other slaves he has no personal interest just as well as Django. He politely thanks one for raising the lantern to help him write, treats them as credible witnesses in a time where the word of a black man would count for nothing, and frees them when he leaves with Django. Just to show not every white man in that movie was a racist bastard.
* On that note, the Sheriff with whom Django and Shultz spend the winter deserves a mention. He'd have to be blind to not notice Django is black (and he obviously isn't) but, like every other white man in the film barring Schultz, does he so much as bat an eye at Django riding a horse, carrying a gun, or killing white folk? [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Nope.]] When he and Schultz return with some fresh bounties, all he does in greet them both warmly and invite them in for some hot coffee and some leftover birthday cake (which he himself calls 'pretty good').

* We see Django stick an empty bottle into a pile of snow in order to practice his quick-draw skills. We see him shoot it dead on. The camera pulls into a wideshot. We discover that Django had inserted the bottle into a snowman. ''Django and Schultz built a snowman together.''
* Creator/FrancoNero's cameo. If you didn't already think this thing was a love letter to Westerns, that sealed it.
