* As Caesar, Will, Caroline, and Will's father exit the Muir Redwood National Forest, Caesar has a brief, but thankfully nonviolent, confrontation with a German Shepard that, like him, is on a leash. After the brief ... "scuffle", Caesar, emotionally wounded by the experience, starts to question his role as a member in Will's family, asking [[HandSignals nonverbally]] if he was a pet or not. Will, sensing the doubt within Caesar, faces him, and tells him that he is not a pet, but his son.

* The way the apes adopt Caesar's window as an ArcSymbol. To him, spending most of his time in the attic, looking out the window was the closest he had to freedom. To the apes as a whole, the iconic window shape became a symbol of freedom.

* Speaking of loyalty, ''Buck''. Caesar freed him, and that's all it took, in the end giving his life with no hesitation to protect him.

** In general, the very fact that Caesar doesn't look for revenge or authority, he seeks freedom for himself and all the other apes. And that's ''before'' giving them the AZL 113, he sees them as equals and cares for them even without the heightened intelligence (that's why he chooses a gentle option with Rocket: making him submit is a necessity, not something that Caesar wants or enjoys). It's particularly noticeable in his talks with Maurice.

* Caesar's last meeting with Will in the movie in the redwood forest, where he tells Will, by speaking, that he is home. Bittersweet in that due to the DownerEnding, this would likely be their last meeting in their lifetimes.



* Caesar meeting and befriending Maurice.
* To affirm his authority over Rocket, Caesar hits him just once, then shows him and the other apes that he's got Buck free and on his side. He could have easily found many other means to do that, especially though violence (and leaving Rocket seriously injured), but he didn't. No wonder Rocket becomes so loyal to him afterwards.
