* When Sakuragi awkwardly returns to the Basketball Team after losing his temper and quitting, he clumsily asks can he be let back in, and was about to leave again when he was told he has to start from the basics. Along comes Haruko, who was worried that he was off fighting again. Sakuragi [[ManlyTears sheds a slight tear]] as a gentle version of the title song "I cry out I love you" begins to play, and instead of returning to a violent life without direction, happily leaps back into basic practice [[LoveRedeems to see Haruko's encouraging kind smile once more.]]

* Right after Sakuragi's first proper successful slam-dunk against Shoyo, he loses his boisterous attitude out of sheer shock over how it felt to dunk at the last minutes of the match and then be cheered on by the entire stands. He stays like this until the next day, while practicing in the school gym and idly talking to [[TrueCompanions Youhei]]. While he's not playing up the genius act, he seems genuinely moved by how much he's improving and seems to be realizing a real love for the game.

* Mitsui's HeelRealization and his tearfully begging Coach Anzai for a chance to [[MyGreatestSecondChance come back to the team]]. The old man's saintly forgiveness results in an immediate HeelFaceTurn for the former ace.
* During the match against Kainan, Akagi gets injured and has to be benched. Overhearing his despair at possibly failing to take Shohoku to the nationals in his final year, Sakuragi loudly proclaims that he'll fight to secure Akagi's dream, declaring himself to be Takenori's "little brother under the basket". A visibly touched Akagi hears the declaration, and from then on develops into more of a genuinely caring BigBrotherMentor towards the hot-headed deliquent.

** Akagi gets another moment after the spectacular alley-oop dunk he pulls off against Ryonan. As Sakuragi proudly brags (mostly to himself, but he's never been subtle) that it was his rebounding that made the whole move possible, in comes Akagi, enthusiastically ''agreeing'' and backslapping Sakuragi for his ''great rebounding''. Also a funny moment for the collective [[JawDrop reaction]] of the other Shohoku players and Sakuragi's gang.
