** The part where Shouma and Kanba (now reborn as children) walking past their house would tug at your heartstrings, especially that they were given another chance at life after their [[HeroicSacrifice heroic sacrifice]].

* In episode 5: Kanba chasing after ''a truck'' on a bike, Shouma ''on foot'', to get the penguin hat back. And succeeding.
** Not to mention the flashback to tiny!Kanba promising Kenzan-papa that he'll protect Himari if she needs it.
* Episode 9: Himari's friends covering for her when the three of them get in trouble for taking a goldfish out of its pond.
* Episode 10: Ringo giving up her diary to save Shouma.
* Episode 13: Ringo finally accepting Momoka's death, her father's remarriage, and wishing him happiness.
* Episode 15: Momoka telling Yuri why did she save her from her dad despite knowing it'd almost kill her.
* The aftermath of episode 18's HostageSituation, with Shouma hugging the passed out Himari and Kanba, and Ringo leaning on him.
** "I want to live for you."
* Episode 19: Little Shouma's offer of a loving family to the despaired little Himari.
* Episode 20: Every scene with little!Himari and little!Shouma. ALL. OF. THEM.
* Episode 21: The funeral where little!Himari comforts little!Kanba by putting a bandage on his cheek and telling him "now it won't hurt." Kanba vows to protect her from that day on.
* Episode 22: Esmeralda [[UndyingLoyalty staying by Masako's side]] when she pulls her near HeroicSacrifice, opening a tiny paper fan when her mistress goes in her AssKickingPose. In other circumstances it would've been [[{{Narm}} far funnier than it should]], but this time [[NarmCharm it works perfectly.]]
** Just before that, Kanba shielding Masako from the bullets.
** There's also something really touching [[TearJerker and heartbreaking]] about #3 being by Himari's side as she has a near fatal seizure. She lays on the floor with Himari and looks at her very calmly and sweetly as both of them are about to die...
* Episode 23: #2 putting a lollipop by the fading #3 while Shouma is visiting Himari at the hospital. And also him offering another lollipop to #1 when Kanba drops by to confront Shouma.
** Also TheStoic maid Renjaku crying TearsOfJoy when Masako is BackFromTheDead.
** Ringo hugging Shouma under the snow. Simply beautiful and heart-wrenching.
** Shouma's dream sequence has alot of these..
*** The flashback of Kanba and Shouma finding a lost Himari at the beach.
*** Himari telling Shouma to save Kanba. While kissing him, it was incredibly sad and heartwarming at the same time. The way their fingers intertwined made me go D'aww. The [[AnimationBump animation and background]] also added to the beauty of the scene.
* In the GrandFinale, Shouma hugging Ringo to take her self-inflicted burning destiny upon himself, while [[DyingDeclarationOfLove telling her that he loves her.]]
** The loving way that Kanba looked at Himari and touched her face right before he shattered into shards of glass.
** Also, Himari having a normal life with an aunt and uncle that love her and Ringo as her best friend. And then we see that, even after being {{Ret Gone}}d, Kanba and Shouma managed to leave a last keepsake for her: her teddybear and a note saying "We love you! -- Your brothers."
** And we also have [[CreepyChild Mario]] ''finally'' acting like a normal little boy and showing affection to his OneeSama Masako.
** Masako's dream about Kanba where he told her that she was his precious little sister and that he loved her.
** Both Tabuki and Yuri saying they love each other.
** The flashback of little Kanba sharing the apple with Shouma. May double as a TearJerker.
** Sanetoshi told Kanba that he would simply disappear, and that he wouldn't leave anything behind in the world, not even a speck of dust. But when Ringo and Himari wake up on the train, we see that Sanetoshi was wrong - Kanba managed to leave behind a shard of glass, which in turn left behind a small scar on Himari's forehead.
