* After proposing to Kyoko, Godai visits Soichiro's grave alone. Unbeknownst to either, Kyoko was also on her way to Soichiro's grave to tell him she was returning his keepsakes to his father. She sees Godai and hides, eavesdropping on Godai's monologue to Soichiro. Godai laments his jealousy of Soichiro as he will always be a part of Kyoko's life, then admits that by marrying her, Soichiro would be a part of his life as well and is fully okay with that. It is with this that Kyoko is finally, after so long, able to let go of her grief and fully commit to Godai.

* Mitaka getting rejected by Kyoko once and for all can stand out. Though he brought a lot of the heartache on himself by forcing the situation on Kyoko--surprising her with an omiai meeting with his parents and then whisking her off to get her away from Godai--realizing Kyoko didn't return his feelings was ''soul-crushing'' for Mitaka.

* ''MaisonIkkoku'': The ending, when Godai finally proposes, Kyoko's response made me cry: "Promise me one thing. Promise that, even if it's only for a day, you'll live longer than me. I don't want to ever live alone again."

* ''MaisonIkkoku'': The ending, Maison Ikkoku starts off as a comedy, but it doesn't pull its punches when it resolves the various romantic plots. '''Spoiler Warning:''' these all happen at the end, starting with the ending of the second to last volume of the manga (in the Viz edition, English), and somewhere around episode 90 of the anime.
* Through a combination of alcohol, miscommunication, and chivalry, Mitaka offers to marry Asuna even though he likes Kyoko better. Asuna sees a photo of young Mitaka smiling after he won second place at tennis, and asks him, "Is it my imagination, or is the smile in this photo ... the same smile you're wearing tonight?"
* When Kozue talks to Godai she explains the difficult situation she's in since Godai proposed to her. He didn't -- it was a miscommunication. But Kyoko is within earshot, and she is emphatically unhappy. It is tough -- after being chased by two nice guys for a couple years, they suddenly both propose to other women, dooming her to a life of solitude.
