4* Dan and Drago becoming friends in episode 4.
5-->'''Dan''': Alright! That's awesome! Thank you so much! Yeah! (''falls into the river'')
6--> '''Drago''': (''laughs''). Thank you. From now on, we shall be a proper team.
7* How happy Gorem and Julie were after becoming friends.
8* The other brawlers (except Alice), and their Bakugan going to the Doom Dimension to find Dan.
9-->'''Shun''': ''(when Dan is angry at them)'' Take it out on me. It was my idea.
10-->'''Marucho''': Don't listen to Shun. We all decided to come to this place.
11-->'''Julie''': Marucho's right. The Bakugan Battle Brawlers do everything as a team.
12-->'''Dan''': Aw man, that is so cool. I appreciate this, guys. Thanks.
13* The Brawlers have found out [[spoiler: Alice is Masquerade]], but they have no hard feelings on it. They still see her as the same NiceGirl they know and love.
14-->'''Runo''': Well, don't worry. You don't have to listen to [[spoiler: Masquerade]] ever again.
15-->'''Wavern''': Your friends will take care of you now, [[spoiler: Alice]].
16** Even Dan saying, [[spoiler:[[BeYourself "Alice is still Alice"]]]] to make the point.
17** After [[spoiler:Alice]] left with [[spoiler:Hal-G]] out of guilt for her actions as [[spoiler:Masquerade]], they led a search on her. Even Runo left a monologue about it.
18* From episode 44, just before Masquerade [[spoiler: dies permanently he tells Alice. Who is afraid she'll be weak without him. That she is strong in her own right and doesn't need him anymore. He then peacefully [[DisappearsIntoLight fades away into light]].]]
19* The brawler's Bakugan (minus Drago) decide to leave their partners because they put them at too much risk. When the others find them, they tell their Bakugan that they're friends and that they shouldn't have left.
20* You know that green gem in Drago's chest that he has from the end of Season 1 onwards? [[spoiler: It appeared when Wavern sacrificed her life to give him the Infinity Core. Even throughout the entire series, he still carries the symbol of Wavern's sacrifice, and by extension, his love for her.]]
21* The romance between Drago and Wavern, while frequently used for comedy, is not only genuine, but portrayed as incredibly normal. Wavern is a white dragon, which in Vestroia stands for a powerless entity, which means she can never travel between worlds on her own power, and means her body simply fades into dust upon death. Drago treats Wavern as a normal person, and it is heavily implied she fell for him out of this very reason, especially given it is strongly implied that most white Bakugan are discriminated against because they do not have an element, therefore leaving them shunned because they are powerless.

25* When Drago is sent to Earth to find a partner, Drago says that there's only one human that he would call "partner".
26* At the end of Episode 4, "Marucho's Mission", Marucho and Elfin are overwhelmed by Mylene's Trap Bakugan. When Mylene uses an Ability to attack him, Marucho, rather than run away, activates one last Ability Card to save Elfin.
27-->'''Elfin''': Oh, I'm okay. Who turned the water off?
28-->'''Mylene''': It can't be! You're supposed to be crushed!
29-->'''Marucho''': I...I made it just in time, Elfin...
30-->'''Elfin''': M-Marucho! You activated a defense Ability when you should've run! You saved me...
31-->'''Marucho''': ''Delta Marine Snow.'' Only Aquos Elfin can use it. I couldn't...let them hurt you, Elfin...
32** Afterwards, when they're saved by [[spoiler: Shun]], Elfin chooses to stay with Marucho as his new partner. Why? [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Because he stuck by her side and saved her.]] Elfin stayed with Marucho because of [[NiceGuy his caring nature.]] The very thing that always made Preyas proud of Marucho.
33* After Dan saves Drago after Drago was [[spoiler: controlled by Spectra]], Drago apologizes for letting Dan down. Dan says there's no way that Drago could let him down, and apologizes for losing the battle.
34-->'''Drago''': If it's not my fault, then it's not your fault either. Agreed?
35-->'''Dan''': Yeah, agreed, partner.
36* While Spectra is shown to be quite callous towards innocent Bakugan and is wholly willing to experiment on them, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes he at least shows kindness towards his own partner Bakugan, Helios.]]
37** For one thing, Spectra never did anything to Helios without his permission. The Forbidden Cards? Helios wanted Spectra to boost his powers to the extreme. Becoming a Cyborg Bakugan? Helios ''asked'' Spectra to transform him, and Spectra, knowing that such a transformation would be permanent, asked Helios if he was sure about it.
38** In Episode 38, "All Or Nothing", after Spectra confesses his EvilPlan to make Helios the Ultimate Bakugan, Dan points out that, even if they succeed, Helios will still be a Bakugan in the end, so the BT System will kill him just like it would any other Bakugan. This actually makes Spectra hesitate for a moment, implying that he doesn't want to lose Helios.
39** Later, in Episode 42, "Exodus", when [[EnemyMine Drago and Helios team up]] to try to destroy the BT System, but can't damage it, [[OhCrap Spectra is actually shown]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness being afraid for once.]] ''He's afraid for Helios.'' He really doesn't want to lose his partner!
40** The bond goes both ways, too. In Episode 44, "Spectra's Last Stand", when Drago defeats Helios definitively, Helios uses the last of his strength to save Spectra from being crushed by rubble. He literally ''catches him in his hand.'' Just as Spectra cares about Helios, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Helios truly cares about Spectra.]]
41** In Episode 51, "All For One", Spectra reveals the Zukanator in his possession, a Battle Gear strong enough to pierce the Alternative. But, he's worried that Helios might not be able to handle it. Helios' answer?
42-->'''Helios''': [[UndyingLoyalty You never doubted me before, Spectra.]] So why start now?
43-->'''Spectra, with a knowing smile''': Forgive me, Helios.
44* In Episode 39, "Avenging Spectra", reveals how [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Gus really does have a heart deep down, not just for Spectra, but for the Bakugan by his side as well.]] And not just Gus, but Vulcan too.
45** After Zenoheld deploys Assail Farbros, overwhelming Gus before attempting to kill him with a massive laser blast, [[TakingTheBullet Blast Elico gets in the way of the beam.]] Even after being forcibly evolved by Gus, Elico was still [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe grateful to him for saving him,]] and chose to [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice himself for him.]]
46-->'''Gus, seeing that Elico caught the beam''': Elico! That was meant for ''me!''
47-->'''Elico''': [[IOweYouMyLife You saved me once, so I am merely returning the favor.]] ''It's the least I can do!''
48-->'''Gus''': ELICO!
49-->'''Vulcan''': His sacrifice will not be in vain!
50** And when Zenoheld tries to vaporize Gus and Vulcan a second time?
51-->'''Gus''': Vulcan, watch out! (cue Hexados leaping from Gus' pocket ''on his own,'' in the way of the blast) Hexados?!
52-->'''Vulcan''': ''What are you doing?''
53-->(Hexados is blasted to bits)
54-->'''Gus''': ''[[ItsPersonal ZENOHELD!!!]]''
55-->'''Vulcan''': '''''You're gonna pay!'''''
56** And when Zenoheld sends Farbros to crush Gus underfoot?
57-->'''Gus''': I'm sorry I couldn't avenge your betrayal, Master Spectra!
58-->(cue Vulcan holding up Assail Farbros' foot ''with his own body'')
59-->'''Gus''': Vulcan!
60-->(Vulcan's armor starts cracking under Farbros' weight, his visor partially breaking and revealing his right eye)
61-->'''Gus''': It's okay! Stop it! You don't have to do this!
62-->'''Vulcan''': ''Enough.'' Just as your loyalty to Master Spectra knows no bounds, so does ''my'' loyalty - to ''you.''
63-->'''Gus''': Vulcan!
64-->(cue Vulcan pushing against Farbros' foot, ''heaving it away'')
65** After this, Zenoheld makes one last feeble attempt to break Gus' spirit, saying that his loyalty will cost him everything. Gus refutes him in a mixture of heartwarming AND badass.
66-->'''Gus''': "Everything?" (triumphant laugh) No matter what happens, you'll never be able to take the bond of loyalty and friendship that I share with Master Spectra! Isn't that right, Vulcan?
67-->'''Vulcan''': Absolutely!
68* After [[spoiler: Dan and Drago defeat Spectra in episode 44, Spectra joins the team. The heartwarming part is Helios, the mega jerk from before actually acting like a friend to the others]].
69* In episode 47, Lync of all people. When he chooses to [[spoiler: sacrifice himself to deliver important information to Alice in order to save her life]].
70* Episode 49, [[AxeCrazy Shadow Prove]] of all people gets one. When [[spoiler: instead of saving his own hide and escaping. He rushes back and grabs Mylene's hand. Just as she was about to be trapped in another dimension. Once she gets over her own surprise at his actions, Mylene just grumbles "That was a stupid thing to do". Shadow just smiles and replies "I thought it would be way more fun to travel to the ends of the dimension with my new best friend!"]] This shows that he really does care about others, [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} in his own way]].

73[[folder:''Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders'']]
74* During Fabia and Ren's battle in episode 26. The moment when Ren asked Rubanoid for his help. Which he gave willingly, much to the surprise of Fabia.
75* Dan's flashback in episode 29, when he and Jake first met and became friends.
76* When Aranaut revealed to Fabia (and Kazarina) in episode 35 that he had been [[spoiler: faking his amnesia all along so as not hurt Fabia.]]
77* From episode 37, when Lumagrowl (while fighting Aranaut) spots Kazarina [[spoiler:now dead]] he loses his concentration and the battle. It's pretty amazing that someone like him would care about his partner so much.
78** When Fabia learns [[spoiler: Nurzak and Sabator]] are alive after fearing they'd died.
79[[/folder]]

81[[folder:''Bakugan: Mechtanium Surge'']]
82* In episode 15, Anubias giving Noah his partner Bakugan to use in battle. Showing that he at least cares for Noah a little.
83* Episode 26 [[spoiler: Anubias and Sellon]] appear to some of the kids as visions. Inspiring them to not give up hope and to keep fighting Mag Mel.
