History Heartwarming / SailorMoon

* Another one, again from an episode originally cut (the sixth episode). She originally had selfish interests in following the jazz panist Yusuke Amade, but then she learns that not only is he being targeted by a youma, but the youma steals a tape containing a love song he produced for a woman he was in love with, who works in a recording studio. She insists on helping out, and even before transforming, she and Luna manage to foil the youma's plot and force her to flee, saving said love interest in the process. After defeating the youma, Sailor Moon notes to herself this was one relationship she was happy to have saved.[[labelnote:PS.]]The two got married, and Amade produced an album in honor of Sailor Moon as thanks.[[/labelnote]]

* After having the relationship broken up for ''17 episodes'', Usagi and Mamoru finally getting back together in Episode 77.

* The flashback where a young Demande promises Saphir that they will see the flowers on Earth.
* Saphir's death at Wiseman's hands... actually, heck, almost all of episode 86 had Heartwarming, HeroicSacrifice and TearJerker moments ''in spades''.

* Helios giving the Amazon Trio Dream Mirrors, which in this season are metaphors for souls, which he then saves, before they died, thus rendering them human. He then refers to them as such, as he tells the guardians that the three will be alright.

* Helios giving the Amazon Trio Dream Mirrors, which in this season are metaphors for souls, before they died.

** Usagi, who normally leans on Ami for academic support, tries to lean away and encourage the senshi to not pressure Ami into helping them study. This is after she hears Ami's talk with the teacher, who insinuates that Ami tutoring Usagi is causing her to lose focus. Even though Usagi is a failing student, her friend's happiness matters more than her grades.

* The OneDialogTwoConversations that Haruka and Michiru have at the aquarium (rough translation):

* The very last episode of ''Sailor Stars''. Specifically, the scene where Usagi, having defeated the Chaos, is floating in the skies, alone. She starts crying because she is lonely without her TrueCompanions who were all killed by Galaxia... and suddenly, a familiar voice tells her that [[YouAreNotAlone she is not alone]]... Then, after all the senshi reappeared, somebody calls out "Usako...". Usagi's reaction to Mamoru's voice and her flying into his arms, in tears...

* Read any interview with the old English dub cast and they clearly loved working on the show. It really is heartwarming that almost in the years since the old dub has ended that it still means something to them. They're also very approving of the Viz redub, which is heartwarming on its own.

* When Viz Media released the announcement trailer, the notice that it was uncut was displayed over an unambiguously romantic moment between Haruka and Michiru.
* During Florida Supercon 2015 on the panel with Creator/StephanieSheh and Creator/AmandaMiller, one of the men asking questions said that his friends make fun of him because he's a ''Sailor Moon'' fan. Cue Amanda Miller saying that he's awesome and Stephanie Sheh saying "Real men watch ''Sailor Moon''!", which doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}}. You can see it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVk1NFj7iTk here]] (around 12:33).
* In general, the series' legacy in the worldwide anime fandom. It was a GatewaySeries for many western anime fans in the 90s and especially was beloved by girls the world over as an unapologetically feminist empowerment series that gave them strong heroines to look up to and continues to be loved by anime fans decades after it concluded.

* [[WhatTheHellHero Luna calls out Tuxedo Kamen]] for kissing Sailor Moon when the latter gets drunk at Princess D's party.

* The change from Tuxedo Kamen (Tuxedo Mask) randomly being at the jewelry store to rob it to him appearing there because Sailor Moon was in danger. In the manga, it's made clear that he's hanging around their to find the Silver Crystal among the ordinary jewels.
* When Luna approaches Usagi in the first episode, and gives her the brooch, Usagi at first doesn't realize that it's a TransformationTrinket until Luna tells her to test it out. What interrupts Usagi's subsequent FreakOut? Hearing Naru/Molly call for help. Despite some hesitation, and realizing she's in over her head, Usagi goes to save her friend from Morga.
** Also, Naru suffered AdultFear on thinking that her mother attacked and strangled her, when it was a youma. The next day, as she recounts it, a monster attacked her and her mother, which is much closer to the truth.
* Near the very beginning, in [[MissingEpisode an episode omitted from the original English dub]], we learn that Shingo is afraid of cats due to a childhood trauma, thus hampering Usagi's idea of adopting Luna as the family pet. After Sailor Moon dispatches of the MonsterOfTheWeek, Shingo, having spotted her and thinking she's Sailor V, asks for her autograph. She does so on the condition that he overcome his fear. Not only does he do so, but the final scene shows him happily playing with Luna.
* In episode 11 Usagi and Rei are at each others throats since they've only just met each other and they haven't ironed out the kinks in their relationship that will evolve into them becoming VitriolicBestFriends. When Ami gets knocked out by the MonsterOfTheWeek Usagi accuses Rei of only caring for herself (which pisses Rei off). However, when Rei almost gets turned into stone, Usagi begins sobbing for Rei out of fear for her safety and then in relieve when Rei is alright.
* In a twisted sense, how Nephrite gathers energy. He finds someone with a lot of drive and passion for a goal, and compels them via youma to pursue it to the fullest intention, until they suffer a HeroicRROD.

* "Shingo's Devotion! The French Doll of Grief,"

** Shingo accidentally breaks an award-winning doll that Mika gives to him. When Usagi confronts him, he immediately goes to apologize to Mika. When she won't talk to him, Shingo then attempts to make a doll of Sailor Moon for her. Shingo doesn't know that a youma has possessed Mika, which rapidly changes her personality, but when he realizes, he immediately tries to save her. The youma knocks him out for his trouble, and [[KickTheDog smashes the doll out of spite]], but it's the thought that counts. Mika forgives him on recovering, and makes him a better Sailor Moon doll.

** Hiromi and Kasuko's friendship, as fellow animators. They share their money to buy an expensive set of pencils, and promise to only use it with the other's permission. It segues into TearJerker when Hiromi feels guilty over using the pencils multiple times, but then it goes back into heartwarming when Kasuko reveals that she's done the same. They forgive each other happily.

* Episode 20, Nephrite coming to Naru's aid when she was kidnapped by Zoicite, who thought his fake defection act was the real deal. Ironically Zoicite's actions lead to Nephrite defecting for real for Naru's sake.

** Nephrite and Naru's final moments go between this and TearJerker (even the squawky, and at times, horrible voice actor for Naru in the original English version didn't detract from it).
** Thankfully the Viz dub did a much better job, with the conversation about chocolate parfait being particularly charming in the hands of Creator/LiamOBrien and Creator/DanielleJudovits (credited as Danielle Nicole).

* In episode 22 of the Dic dub, a minister comforts Naru (Molly) about Nephrite's (Nephlite's) death before Zoicite takes his rainbow crystal.
** Despite being a teenage girl without any powers, and not even physically strong like Makoto, Naru attacks Zoicite on recognizing him as Nephrite's killer, and using the same black crystal that once belonged to Nephrite.

** Yumemi tells Zoicite that he is beautiful before the latter removes the rainbow crystal.

** From the same episode we have Usagi desperately trying to make amends with Rei after she fails to respond in the right way when Rei asks the girls for help with her grandfather's mood swings. After Rei tells her that she never wants to be friends with her again Usagi is left devastated and tries to think off ways make things better. Eventually she decides to bring some food from her house and share it with Rei just in time to protect Rei from her grandfather (who was turned into one of the Seven Great Youma). Usagi proceeds to say a line that likely served as the capstone for her and Rei's relationship going forward:
-->'''Usagi:''' Hold it right there! I wont forgive you for being mean to my dear friend Rei-Chan!
* To a minor extent, the episodes after TheReveal that Usagi is the Moon Princess count as this. While Usagi struggles with HeroicBSOD, and a low self-esteem from realizing that she is no longer TheAce that she was in her past life, namely that she's not elegant or an ice skater or a skier, all of the seminars and skiing lessons are youma attacks to identify her. In a meta-sense, the universe is telling her it's all right to BeYourself.

* Unlike in the manga, where Sailor V got her solo series, Minako doesn't get as much screentime in the anime. She's quite a capable leader though, and as capable of being TheHeart for her friends. Minako comforts Usagi about losing Mamoru and finding out she's the princess. She starts by combing out Usagi's long hair and taking her to the new salon that opened. This also ends up saving Usagi because Minako is mistaken as Sailor Moon

* The four inner senshi's spirits comforting a defeated Usagi after all dying for her (Sadly, outside of the "Sailor Moon Says" PSA segment at the end of that episode, this scene was cut in the [=DiC=] dub from the 1990s).

* Zoisite and Kunzite get another one earlier in the season. In episode 29 Zoisite gets mad when Kunzite comments on the beauty of Reika, one of the Rainbow Crystal holders. Kunzite first says jealousy doesn't suit a beautiful face, then presents Zoisite with a rose which according to him isn't nearly as beautiful as he is. Zoisite melts and happily leans into Kunzite; despite being quick to fits of jealousy it's clear he trusts Kunzite's adoration for him.
* Naru/Molly bandaging Umino's/Melvin wounded arm with the piece of her pajamas she used for Nephrite two episodes previous.

* Another one, again from an episode originally cut (the sixth episode). She originally had selfish interests in following the jazz panist Yusuke Amade, but then she learns that not only is he being targeted by a youma, but the youma steals a tape containing a love song he produced for his love interest, who works in a recording studio. She insists on helping out, and even before transforming, she and Luna manage to foil the youma's plot and force her to flee, saving said love interest in the process. After defeating the youma, Sailor Moon notes to herself this was one relationship she was happy to have saved.[[labelnote:PS.]]The two got married, and Amade produced an album in honor of Sailor Moon as thanks.[[/labelnote]]

-->'''Luna''': "Usagi? Can you hear me?"
-->'''Usagi:''' "Hey there. It's been a while since we last talked, huh, Luna...?"
-->'''Luna:''' "You're you again, your memory's all come back!"

** Luna putting off the decision for as long as she had just to keep Usagi having a normal life.

* The Makaiju aliens (Alan and Ann in the [=DiC=] English dub or Ail and An in the Japanese and Viz English dub versions) receive their second chance.

* How does Sailor Moon defeat the Doom Tree when it starts lashing out in pain, attacking both Ail and An and injuring them? She screams for it to stop. The Doom Tree actually listens, reveals that it can talk, to Sailor Moon's surprise, and explains it wanted love, not energy. Due to Sailor Moon being TheHeart, she's able to heal it her love and the scepter.

** Usagi's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the droid in disguise who advises her to use makeup to win back Mamoru because all men are the same. At first Usagi is willing to listen because Mamoru just broke her heart after getting a vision of Usagi dying, when she asks if makeup will make her boyfriend like her again. But insinuating Mamoru is ''shallow''? That Usagi will not tolerate. She tells the droid that Mamoru is better than that, and anyone who insinuates otherwise is an idiot.
* Ami's third focus episode, in which she is brainwashed into thinking everyone has turned against her, but reaches a moment of lucidity where she sees her friends' smiling faces and breaks the spell.
* The episode where Ami almost moves away to become a doctor, and changes her mind when she gets the letter and transformation pen from her friends. The conversation between her and Chibi-Usa reveals the thought process. Chibi-Usa thinks they don't care about her since they're not there to see her off, but as she stares at the new pen, she suddenly realizes the ''real'' reason why they're not here as she asks Mamoru, "Something's come up, hasn't it?" (They're fighting a Droid as she speaks). This makes her realize there are more important things in life, and she abandons the flight to rejoin them.

* Esmeraude in her proper debut episode is seen wolfing down various cakes with gusto that rival's Usagi, (who's doing the exact same thing next to her). While this is PlayedForLaughs, it is genuinely heartwarming to see that even a villain like Esmeraude can briefly put aside all her evil and goals to just take a moment to enjoy a simple pleasure in life like delicious cake.
* The scene at the end of Chibiusa's debut episode, as Usagi tucks her into bed. Usagi recognizes that she's been through tough times just like her and says that, "If only you'd told me everything up front, I could have helped you." It speaks a lot to Usagi's compassion that no matter how much she had irritated her by invading her life [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Dawn Summers]]-style, she never would have hesitated to protect her.
* Almost any scene where Usagi and Chibi-usa don't fight and get along is a minor SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.

** And in subsequent episodes, Berthier, then Calaveras and Petz, all get their chance for the same treatment, adding up to three straight {{Happy Ending}}s. Berthier's in particular is a really sweet YouAreNotAlone moment. The ending of episode 72 (after all four have turned and are now working together) even combines Heartwarming with Funny by showing how close they still are...''when they start arguing'' in a way quite similar to when the Senshi bicker.
* The second half of the two-parter immediately following, when Rubeus captures the other Senshi and demands Sailor Moon hand over the Silver Crystal. Usagi's been on an emotional roller coaster all day because of the events prior, but as she stands out on Mamoru's balcony, she talks to herself, noting how under any other circumstance she'd be whining like the crybaby she usually is, but this time everything rests on her. We are reminded one more time why she's the leader: because with her, Heartwarming and Awesome often go hand-in-hand; she is strongest when she is saving those she holds dear. For their sake, she chose to go face Rubeus ''alone''.
* Minako's bungling attempts to care for her sick teammates in episode 78 are strictly for comedy, but suddenly, a nice little "d'aww" moment happens out of the blue.

* Berthier in general, while by no means less evil than her sisters, always seemed the most sensitive [[spoiler: even before the purification]]. She seemed to be the only one who legitimate cared about Koan, Calaveras, and Petz on a regular basis, and was the only one willing to say she missed Koan [[spoiler: after she turned good]].
* After half a dozen episodes where [[HowDoIShotWeb her attempts to use the Time Key]] [[EpicFail failed]], Chibi Usa ''finally'' manages to make it work when the Guardians and Tuxedo Kamen travel to the future with her.
* After she confesses to Pluto about stealing the Time Key, Pluto forgives her, and gives the Guardians advice on how to travel through the time gate safety.

* Saphir's death at Wiseman's hands...actually, heck, almost all of episode 86 had Heartwarming, HeroicSacrifice and TearJerker moments ''in spades''.
* Demande retrieves his brother's body, giving him a proper DueToTheDead. He mutters "Wiseman" threateningly, and the seeds of doubt are planted.
* Naru (Molly) talking to Usagi (Serena) one last time before getting {{Brother Chuck}}'d in the later episodes, implying that she knows something about the dark crystal overrunning the city and telling her to be careful.
* Prince Demande's HeroicSacrifice by TakingTheBullet for Sailor Moon.

'''Neo-Queen Serenity''': You saved our world, my darling. Welcome home.

* Shocking Moment! Mutual Identities Revealed

* Chibiusa's first reaction on seeing Endymion (as opposed to her being unconscious in the anime) is to attempt to give him a {{Glomp}}. This fails as he's only a hologram, but it shows that Chibiusa has a good relationship with her dad.

* Read any interview with the old dub cast, they clearly loved working on the show. It really is heartwarming that almost 15 years since the old dub has ended that it still means something to them. They're also very approving of the Viz redub, which is heartwarming on its own.

* Around the time Creator/VizMedia revealed the new English dub cast, Creator/AmandaCelineMiller, the new voice of Sailor Jupiter, was overjoyed to have gotten the part, and wrote a [[http://amandamillervo.tumblr.com/post/91511747791/how-sailor-jupiter-made-me-who-i-am-today very touching Tumblr post]] about how she identified with and looked up to Sailor Jupiter as a child. It got shared all over the place, and best of all, [[https://twitter.com/sroman8886/status/489078560649252864 it reached]] Creator/SusanRoman, the original English voice of Sailor Jupiter. That's just too sweet for its own good.

* All of the Sailor Senshi's spirits come together and give Sailor Moon the courage to finally defeat Queen Beryl once and for all, also a moment of awesome.

* Naru bandaging Umino's wounded arm with the piece of her pajamas she used for Nephrite two episodes ago.
** Usagi's friendship with Naru in the same episode; while Usagi clearly has a long way to go before she's the best leader of the Senshi Luna comments that her kindness and friendship are enough to inspire anyone.

* Read any interview with the old dub cast, they clearly loved working on the show. It really is heartwarming that almost 15 years since the old dub has ended that it still means something to them.

** Doubles as NightmareFuel and a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Minako, but she looks so ''relieved'' when she gets shot in the back and sees her heart. Then she runs off with it, giggling madly, and everyone has to follow.

-->Chibi-usa: You said you needed me! You said you needed the power of my dreams! I won't ever let you go!

* The very end of the Nehelenia arc where everything has returned to normal for her and she's reverted back to a child. She's about to go to bed when she turns around and quietly asks her servants, "Will someone please read me a bedtime story?" Then one of the unseen servants says, "Yes, it would be my pleasure."

* Nephrite coming to Naru's aid when she was kidnapped by Zoicite, who thought his fake defection act was the real deal. Ironically Zoicite's actions lead to Nephrite defecting for real for Naru's sake.

* A minister comforts Naru (Molly) about Nephrite's (Nephlite's) death before Zoicite takes his rainbow crystal.

* Diana's debut episode begins with Luna thinking Artemis has gone gaga over a pretty nun. Then Diana appears and everyone assumes the worst of him because she calls him daddy. But finally, in the end, Artemis has the chance to explain that he wasn't ogling the nun but the ''church'' as he'd been dreaming of marrying Luna in such a place, in spite of being a cat. Suddenly things make a lot more romantic sense.

* A minister comforts Naru (Molly) about Nephrite's death before Zoicite takes his rainbow crystal.
** Despite being a teenage girl without any powers, and not even physically strong like Makoto, Naru attacks Zoicite on recognizing him as Nephrite's killer, and using the black crystal that Nephrite had.

* Esmeraude in her proper debut episode is seen wolfing down various cakes with gusto that rival's Usagi, (who's doing the exact same thing next to her). While this is [[PlayedForLaughs]], it is genuinely heartwarming to see that even a villain like Esmeraude can briefly put aside all her evil and goals to just take a moment to enjoy a simple pleasure in life like delicious cake.

* Almost any scene where Usagi and Chibi-usa don't fight and get along is a minor HeartwarmingMoment.

* During Florida Supercon 2015 on the panel with Stephanie Sheh and Amanda Miller, one of the men asking questions said that his friends make fun of him because he's a Sailor Moon fan. Cue Amanda Miller saying that he's awesome and Stephanie Sheh saying "Real men watch Sailor Moon!", which doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny. You can see it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVk1NFj7iTk here]] (around 12:33).
