1!'''Moment Subpages are Administrivia/SpoilersOff. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''
2* Despite her never returning his affections, Gai genuinely cared for Kaori and her feelings, often calling Ryu out on how he seemed to be stringing her along.
3* Most of the episodes end on happy notes of the team palling around and goofing off.
4* When she was first recruited Ako demanded to be paid 1,500 yen, and Kaori [[UnclePennybags gave her a check for ten millions]]. At the end of the same episode Ako gives it back while saying she'll keep fighting.
5* Raita managing to break a MonsterOfTheWeek's spell on his friend via ThePowerOfFriendship.
6** Better yet, when he had a date with her earlier, the other Jetmen decide to not call him in to fight Fashion Dimension because they don't want to ruin his date.
7** When his childhood friend departs, she tells him that she's fallen for Yellow Owl and when she's alone she reveals she knows his secret identity. Both the finale and non-canon sequel manga reveal they eventually married, in the latter they're expecting a son.
8# 21, while the episode is one large tearjerker for the most part, the fact the garbage man at the dump's first reaction to seeing Poo-tan isn't fear or disgust but amazement at the fact a pile of garbage became a living being. Then after seeing him devour bin after bin of garbage as food he immediately hires him at Ako's first offer, even setting up a small living space for him and later he joins Ako in trying to appeal to the teddy bear's good heart then in the end builds a memorial for him saying Poo-tan was better then most humans.
9* #26, the team get trapped in the stone age and Raita is separated from them being found by a cavewoman named Rika and her tribe who he becomes a hero to. He briefly considers staying before he returns to the 20th century and his teammates later show him an article of about the oldest cave paintings in Japan showing his time with the tribe.
10* #28 the Dryer Jigen discovers he'd rather be a good person. [[spoiler:And he succeeds, despite being in a very dark Sentai series (and the monster in #21 trying the same thing and failing). The moment at the end where he sends a postcard telling the Jetmen he became a hairdresser's apprentice is pure "Awwwww...".]]
11** The Jetman themselves actively support and encourage this change of heart.
12* This may be also be on the Gokaiger page, but since it's Gai, it counts here - Gai [[spoiler:powering himself back from the dead]] to protect his teammates from Kiaido and the Gokaigers.
13* Ryuu just discovered that Maria is actually Rie and utterly [[HeroicBSOD went off the bonkers]], now delusional that Rie is always near him and neglects his duty as the leader of Jetman. Then there came Gai, just fresh after quitting the team due to Ryuu's uptightness and epically chews him out and tells him that no matter what everyone else said, Ryuu is always going to be the leader of Jetman... then ''immediately'' rejoins the Jetman with Kaori, then led the rest of the Jetman against the Vyram for awhile, until Ryuu came back and stopped being delusional. Yeah, way to go, Gai.
14** When Raita and Ako inform him of Ryuu's breakdown, Gai refuses to get involved until Raita calls Ryuu pathetic causing Gai to grab him by the collar, pull him in face to face and declare that ''he's'' the only one that gets to insult their leader. He then grabs Kaori and heads off to find Ryuu.
15** At the end of the episode, the entire team visits Rei's grave then Ryuu offers Gai his hand like in the early episodes but this time Gai accepts it and the rest of the team joins in while the Commander looks on proudly. The two's fledgling friendship continues into the next episode as they share a drink and after some awkward silence Ryuu proposes a toast which Gai accepts, shame the Vyram's latest monster interrupted.
16* The Jetman side of episodes 36 and 37, we see the Commander treat the team to a small vacation to the Nagano Prefecture as a reward for all their hard fought battles up until this point cementing her TeamMom status.
17** In the first Vyram scene in 36, we see Grey and Maria listening to music together.
18* Episode 40, ie. the first one to feature the Neo-Jetman: when the new guys go to fight a giant Meteor BEM with Jet Icarus, the Vyram generals talk about defeating them as only an obstacle to get to the original Jetman. After the crap the original team gets from the new team and the new commander, it's oddly sweet to see the villains give them the same respect as always. Granted, they want to ''KILL'' the Jetman, but it's still a step up from the Neo-Jetman.
19* In 41, the Neo-Jetman get an attitude adjustment and decide the original team were fighting for the right reasons and sacrificed their power to let the original Jetman fight again.
20* In Episode 45, aptly titled "The Hot Milk of Victory", before Ryuu runs off to rescue their captive teammates Gai says he'll buy him a drink after the battle. At the end we see that as Ryuu and Gai each buy a glass of each other's preferred drink, the titular hot milk with no sugar and a Maclin whiskey, they then trade glasses and toast to their win cementing their friendship.
21* In 49, [[spoiler:when Ryuu is reduced to a curled up sobbing ball after seeing Rei die for good, Gai tells the other Jetman to leave him be as he grieves and leads them away to give him some privacy, actually grabbing Ako by the sleeve as he goes.]]
22* The relationship between Grey and Maria. They might be villains, but their relationship was genuinely sweet and respectful. And unlike Raduiget, Grey truly did love Maria even when she turned back into Rie, staying with her in her last moments.
23* Kaori and Ryu getting married at the end.
24* In two different continuation media, a TV special and a manga, how much Gai meant to his teammates is cemented by a son named after him, Ryuu and Kaori's in the former and Raita and his childhood sweetheart Satsuki's in the latter.
