* Inumuta and Iori, despite being fairly serious, share a cute high five in Episode 21.

** Mako cuddling Senketsu and claiming that even if she can't understand him, she knows how he feels, which makes Senketsu blush.

** Even if he had [[spoiler:experimented on his own daughter, turning her into a life fiber/human mutant,]] Isshin will not abandon her if he has any choice in the matter.
* In episode 20, the sheer happiness of the elite four when they find out that Satsuki is alive. Especially since they were at a bit of a lost at what to do now that Ryuko had left on her own.

** The flashback to how Jakuzure first became devoted to Satsuki: she starts off wanting to show off by getting the boys to build a huge sandcastle for Satsuki as well because they've been "best friends since forever" [[note]] Given [[AllThereInTheManual background information that Nonon initially found Satsuki uninteresting, she was probably insincere, and just attached to Satsuki's status.[[/note]], while Satsuki says she just needs a handful of sand left over from the construction of a family-owned skyscraper from which she can look down on any adult, and notes that a castle that falls down in the first gust of wind is worthless. Nonon petulantly insists that all buildings fall down eventually, prompting Satsuki to say that they should build their castles in their minds where they'll never fall down; this compels Nonon so much that she knocks the sand from Satsuki, saying she doesn't need it, so that she can hold her hand, promising to hold on to her forever, and will always look out from the same height as her. This actually makes her the only one of the Elite Four who actually pledged herself to Satsuki, rather than being recruited.

* Also in episode 19, Sukuyo comforts Senketsu when Ryuko is comatose. Keep in mind that no one except Ryuko can hear him, but Sukuyo understands their closeness like Mako does, and know he's been fretting over her. Senketsu then sobs into her arms like a small child and it's adorable.

** Gamagoori trusting Mako with evacuating the civilians, she is just an underachiever, No-Star, traitor but Gamagoori trusts her enough to charge her with a very important task.
* In episode 19, Gamagoori has quite a few of these

** And then the aforementioned friends [[spoiler: preforming a HeroicSacrifice to ensure that everyone else got out safely]].

* In the flashback showing [[spoiler:Soichiro transforming into]] Isshin, it's very heartwarming seeing a young Ryuko sleeping on a chair, sucking her thumb and surrounded by dolls.
** Even if he had [[spoiler:experimented with his own daughter, turning her into life fiber/human mutant,]] Isshin will not abandon her, if he has a choice in the matter.

** Even if he had [[spoiler:experimented with his own daughter, turning her into life fiber/human mutant,]] Isshin will not abandon her.

** His reaction to seeing Mako finally safe [[spoiler:and out of the COVER that devoured her in the beginning of the episode]].
*** He even averts his eyes when she is naked. What a gentleman!

** His reaction to seeing Mako finally safe and out of the COVER that devoured her in the beginning of the episode.

* Also in episode 19: Sanageyama asking his Goku Uniform to "Hold together" so he could evacuate his former friends.
