History Heartwarming / JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders

* Polnareff being remarkably concerned and protective toward Kakyoin after N'Doul blinds him, especially considering Kakyoin was being uncharacteristically bratty and difficult just seconds before the attack. He even gently scoops him up in his arms and carries him to safety then spends most of the ensuing battle clinging to him and keeping him safe.

* In the OVA, there are two minor moments for the villains at the end of the Justice arc. After Enya dies and [[LoadBearingBoss her hotel and Justice zombies vanish into thin air]], the Joestar group respectfully commend her for being a WorthyOpponent. A few moments later, Polnareff finds the comatose Hol Horse lying in the dirt; and upon [[NoOneShouldSurviveThat being surprised that he's still alive after seemingly dying in front of him earlier]], Joseph [[SaveTheVillain sends for medical attention for the gunslinger and lets him go]] out of gratitude for him exposing Enya's ruse before it was too late.

-->'''Joseph''': Leave him alone. He needs to be hospitalized, he's no longer a threat.

* In episode 9 of the anime, during Jotaro's fight against the seemingly unstoppable Rubber Soul and [[BlobMonster Yellow Temperance]], Jotaro says, "The Kujo family...no, the Joestar family has its own philosophy when it comes to fighting. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments That's...to run away!"]] While it's hilarious to see [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere the Joestar Family Secret Technique]], it shows the Jotaro has finally started to show how he started care about his grandfather.

** Also during this fight, Jotaro shows complete faith in Kakyoin's ability to deal with the Lovers. The whole time he's simply biding his time for Kakyoin and Polnareff to stop the Stand so he can have his payback.

* After returning to their true ages after Alessi's Stand had turned them into children, Polnareff decides not to reveal his identity to the woman who looked after him to ensure her safety. Blushing in embarrassment, he tells Jotaro not to say anything about the situation before glancing back in the woman's direction. Jotaro wordlessly lays a reassuring hand on Polnareff's shoulder and [[WhenHeSmiles smiles]].

** During his stay in the hospital, Kakyoin was worried he'd be left behind, unable to help the rest of the Crusaders in their fight against DIO, and asked the doctor overseeing him when he'd be discharged. He's initially disappointed when he's told he would be in for a long stay, but then the doctor tells him that the Speedwagon Foundation contacted the hospital to put Kakyoin under their care, to accelerate his recovery. The doctor asks who Kakyoin really is, since Speedwagon is world-renowned. His answer is particularly important and made all the sweeter when you realize that he was a lonely and withdrawn child because nobody could see his stand- and now he has people looking out for him and putting their trust in him and his abilities ''because'' of his stand, able to connect with them because they share similar abilities.

* During The Lovers fight, when Joseph is under the effects of the Lovers, Jotaro flips out more than usual when his Grandfather is under attack, showing that he does care a lot about his Grandfather's well being.

* In episode 9 of the anime, during Jotaro's fight against the seemingly unstoppable Rubber Soul and [[BlobMonster Yellow Temperance]], Jotaro says, "The Kujo family...no, the Joestar family has it's own philosophy when it comes to fighting. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments That's...to run away!"]] While it's hilarious to see [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere the Joestar Family Secret Technique]] it shows the Jotaro has finally started to show how be started care about his grandfather.

** Jotaro's smile while he stares at the picture upon receiving it, say alot about his feelings for the gang without having to say a single word.

* In the anime, Anne the orphan is finally put on a plane back home, since the Crusaders are painfully reminded that she's going to get someone killed with the caliber of opponents they are facing. She's sad that she didn't get to say bye to [[PrecociousCrush Jotaro]]... until she sees him on the runway and proceeds to enthusiastically wish him good luck as she flies away, to which Jotaro responds with a rare smile.

* After defeating Dio, our three surviving heroes hugged each other with brotherly love at Cairo Airport as Polnaref leaves for Paris while Joseph and Jotaro fly back to Tokyo, [[InsultOfEndearment insulting each other]] to fight back the tears welling in their eyes.
--> Polnareff: Goobye you wrinkled old coot, you live a long life you hear! And you, his cheapskate grandson; don't you dare forget about me!
--> Joseph: Let us meet again! That is if you don't already hate me by then, you stupid jackass!
--> Jotaro: I can't ever forget a clown like you even if I tried, you bastard. Take Care.

* After Kakyoin comes back to the party after recovering from his eye injuries, everyone is utterly ''delighted'' to see him. He even has to [[http://media.tumblr.com/38acd0e5c9f787328c1628781fb1d32a/tumblr_inline_ne1soyK3dC1s34r9q.png tell them to take it easy on him]], what with both Joseph grabbing onto his arm and Polnareff smacking him on the back.

* In the last episode of the OVA (as well as the end of the manga and anime), following a long and sublime series of [[TheStoic apathetic]]-to-[[BadassLongcoat sullen]] ass kickery culminating in beating the blood-spurting hell out of his immortal, nigh-onto-godlike nemesis who had just done away with all his companions, Jotaro's TearfulSmile at the parting scene is a real sunshine moment.

Jotaro wordlessly lays a reassuring hand on Polnareff's shoulder and [[WhenHeSmiles smiles]].

** Before then, after speaking with Suzi over the phone, Joseph assures Jotaro that the two of them will finally take down DIO. Jotaro, who does not usually smile, gives his grandad one of the biggest smiles he's shown thus far when he replies that they won't be alone, just as the rest of the gang arrives with the dune buggy. He doesn't say it, but it's clear the gang had grown on him.
