History Heartwarming / Trigun

-->'''Father Nebraska:''' I was kind of hoping you'd ditch the woman and save your own skin.
-->'''Milly:''' Vash wouldn't do that, he isn't that kind of person!
-->'''Meryl:''' ''(thinks back to all her encounters with Vash)'' Come to think of it...

-->'''Kid!Vash''': Rem said she came to this ship because someone she loved back on Earth died. I tried to imagine what would happen if Rem died. Suddenly, hot water began to flow from my eyes and didn't stop for a long time. Rem, [[PleaseDontLeaveMe don't ever leave.]]

-->'''Wolfwood:''' Thanks to that "wimp", you two ingrates are still alive!

-->'''Grandmother:''' You don't need to apologize. Mr. Preacher, please take good care of Ericks. Unlike you, he's a bumbling fool of a goody-goody and a sweet, gentle soul. Lina and I have always known somewhere deep in our hearts it was too good to be true. We knew Ericks would probably have to leave us someday, yet we chose not to believe it. Bless him. It doesn't change a fact that we're losing a member of the family. Please, Mr. Wolfwood, don't forget that.
-->'''Wolfwood:''' ''*(sincerely)*'' I'm truly sorry. I really am. I'm sorry, Grandma.

* In the manga, [[spoiler: the part in Vash and Knive's past where they discovered the horrors of the previous experiments and, after many days of refusing to eat or touch anything from humans, Rem manages to get through to Vash. Especially how Vash (shown surprisingly to be even more rash and violent than Knives in his youth) tried to kill himself with a knife only for Rem to grab it and get stabbed, with him muttering how he won't feel sad about her death and how he won't cry... only to break down sobbing and holding her.]]

* Vash and Knives [[spoiler: flying away while basically hugging at the end of the manga (while it also has creepy overtones). Knives's epiphanic revelation that he's "the one who grew apart."]]

* Episode 23. Wolfwood's speech gives this troper the sniffles.

** The preview for episode 18, which is both heartwarming and [[TearJerker tearjerking]] at the same time:

** Wolfwood sticking up for Vash in Episode 18, after two cowardly villagers called him a wimp.

* A minor one, but one episode begins with Milly writing a letter to her family, including her "big-big brother, middle-big brother, little-big brother, big-big sister, middle-big sister, little-big sister" and NUMEROUS nieces and nephews. Meryl chides her for this, since writing to so many family members can keep Milly up too late, but Milly doesn't care, she obviously LOVES her family and is quite happy keeping them updated on her adventures. [[spoiler: At the end of the episode, this plus the episode's plot causes Meryl to write to her family, the first she's done in a long time.]] Awww.
