Go To

1!!Manga:
2* The end of Book 6 has a story where Doraemon have to go home. To prove that Nobita can stand by himself, he decided, no matter how bad it is, to fight Gian. He succeeded to make Gian running away in shame, while Nobita had to be carried home. The story ends rather tearjerkingly as the drawer Time Machine turns into a regular drawer...
3** But then, the next volume has it that Doraemon left a box shaped like himself, containing a drink called "Lies 800" in which anything spoken is a lie. After getting lied to badly by Gian and Suneo, Nobita exact his revenge to Gian and Suneo, and after that, Nobita spoke that Doraemon did not exist. Thanks to the effect of "Lies 800", Doraemon actually returned, and Nobita tearfully hugs Doraemon while proclaiming "I am so unhappy that you won't be at my side forever!"
4*** The whole story was made because during the magazine era, Doraemon's popularity was thought to have waned that until positive feedback shows that the readers really missed Doraemon.
5*** The story above was adapted into ''Anime/StandByMeDoraemon'' as the last segments.

7!!Anime:
8* In the episode "Two Shizukas", Nobita is stuck at identifying which is the real Shizuka and which one is copy. Cue ArmorPiercingQuestion.
9-->'''Nobita''': D-Do you like me Shizuka!?
10-->'''Copy!Shizuka''': W-What are you talking about!? Who would like someone like you!?
11-->'''Real!Shizuka''': Err..umm.. ''(blushing)''
12* The episode "Doraemon's Time Capsule" (English dub) has two extremely powerful moments. The first, is when Noby and Doraemon are about to be incinerated, and Doraemon tells Noby to leave him behind as Noby can save himself, and Doraemon can be replaced. Noby tearfully refuses as he doesn't want to lose his friend and desperately keeps digging Doraemon's pocket for something to save them. The second is, at the end, when we find out that Noby arranged for a letter to be addressed to the newly made Doraemon, which said "Happy birthday, from your best friend forever," making the young cat-robot cheer. Doraemon realizes it was the letter Noby sent him that made the day he was born so special. As Noby said himself, "Whenever I can do something stupid that'll make you happy, I'll be there." It really is moments like these which make you understand why these two are best friends.
13* In general, the fact that everyone accepts Doraemon as one of their own, and especially that the Nobis accomodate him like a second son is pretty touching. This is the very definition of open-mindedness. Heck, in the "Robot Kingdom" manga, at least, Nobita's mom explicitly says that Doraemon is also her son!
14* The image to the left of [[http://www.mangachapter.me/789/doraemon/105-9.html this page]].
15* The short movie "Doraemon: Nobita's the Night Before a Wedding" has several, from Nobita and Shizuka trying to take the cat to her family who is about to move to America to the talk between Shizuka and her father, but the wedding sequence in the ending tops it all; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILbZlZ4Ml8s especially with this song playing. ]] It can (or will) make you cry happy tears.
16* Adult Nobita deserves some love as well, especially during the "Shizuka's present is Nobita" episode. Though he hasn't changed that much in 25 years (personality-wise), the way he cares ''that'' much of his wife tells that he can go ''even'' back in time to don't make a mistake that would ruin their marriage.
17** The part when he interacts with the younger version of ''his'' Shizuka, by telling her that her "future prince", while the opposite of what she likes in a guy, he (himself) would improve himself by working hard enough to "grant that dream of hers, little by little" because he will love her.
18** From that interaction alone, Shizuka lends him the handkerchief that he made for her in the past, but never returns it to her. In the future, he finds it in one of his pockets, until the moment that the adult Shizuka recognizes it, while realizing that the man she interacted with 25 years in the past was not only her "future prince" but the adult Nobita, as well.
19* Say whatever you want about Gian, but you cannot deny the love he has for his younger sister, Jaiko. He has tried to help her anytime when she has trouble, from the moment he wants to show the "great amazing artist" she is to the world (even if he menaces the other kids of the neighborhood), or when she is dealing with love problems.
20* Nobita comes back in time to the day he was born and listens in on her mom and dad voicing their hopes for him. The next panel we see him staying up late to study--to the point that even his mom and dad tell him to give it a rest already.
21* A singer from Hong Kong made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_scI1WMAyc a song about the manga]]. For those of you who don't speak Cantonese, it is about Nobita's love and friendship for Shizuka and Doraemon and how he cares about them.
22* A special episode has Denja, a criminal robot, switching bodies with Doraemon during a check-up in the future. He turns out to be a very lonely AntiVillain who never before has seen somebody as kind as Nobita. He even teaches Nobita to play baseball as well as winning the game for him! In the end, he cried ManlyTears as everything resolves to normal.
23** Previously, Nobita was looking for a red marble while Doraemon unintentionally crashes with Nobita, spoiling the Dorayakis Doraemon's carrying. While undoubtedly straining their relationship for awhile, Doraemon, in Denja's body, looking for a red marble at a dump in the future. Turns out, the red marble is for Nobita's sincerely-made birthday present, a clay model of Doraemon.
24* In one episode, Suneo makes fun of his grandmother's belief in superstitions. Even Nobita can't help but laugh, as he is sure that things such as "Hell" or "King Yama" don't really exist. Doraemon concurs that while the existence of either Hell or King Yama had yet to be scientifically proven even in 22nd century, it is still not right to disrespect an elder. Doraemon going as far as giving the grandmother a candy to make everything said is true to teach Suneo a lesson to respect his grandmother, even thought it somewhat backfires later (as Nobita summon a giant rat to keep Doraemon away for the evening where Nobita wanted to sleep instead of studying), is still nice to see.
25* In "Goodbye to You", Nobita uses the What-If Telephone Booth to see how his friends would react if he suddenly had to move to America. Gian cries ManlyTears and reassures Nobita that he can always come back if the move doesn't work out, Suneo leaves him with an exorbitant number of gifts in an effort to [[TheAtoner make up for all the times he's picked on him]], and Shizuka spends a long time lingering outside until Nobita's mother encourages her to come in, before descending into InelegantBlubbering. Even Nobita's teacher stops by with some words of encouragement. Goes to show that [[VitriolicBestBuds as much as they give him a hard time]], the people around Nobita really care about him.
26* In "Make Everything Plushies", Nobita learns that Shizuka has been saving money to buy a plush otter. However, when Suneo comes by, he mistakenly thinks that Nobita wants the plush for himself, and decides to buy it to mess with him. Shizuka is devastated to find out that the toy has been sold, so Nobita asks Doraemon for help and they make a new otter plush for Shizuka, who cries TearsOfJoy on receiving it. Seeing how happy they made her, Nobita and Doraemon make a huge collection of plush toys for Shizuka, but she points out that she has no space for them. Doraemon then gets the idea to create a plush ''house'' to store the entire collection in Shizuka's yard, letting her keep the plushies after all.

28!!Movies:
29* In ''Doraemon: Nobita's Three Visionary Swordsmen''[[note]]"Nobita and the Three Musketeers"[[/note]], the fact that the movie hinted that Shizuka dreamed about that Nobitania and Princess Shizukaria get married to the end deserves a lot.
30* In ''Doraemon: Nobita in the Robot Kingdom'', there's a moment where it crosses this with TearJerker as Doraemon and Maria are unable to escape from the rocket that is about to hit the moon, each of them gave Nobita, Poko and Jeanne their final words. Even more heartwarming when the transporter device worked and rescued them.
31-->'''Maria''': Jeanne, mom always believes in you.
32-->'''Jeanne''': Mom!
33-->'''Maria''': Poko, please take care of your big sister, and no matter what, mom will always with both of you.
34-->'''Doraemon''': Nobita, please always do your homework, don't wake up late, try to not pick a fight with Gian and Suneo... and may you live happily ever after with Shizuka.
35* ''Doraemon: Nobita and the New Steel Troops'':
36** When Pippo rants about how the Steel Troops would take over humanity, Nobita says that he doesn't want to fight Pippo. Cue Pippo breaking down in tears and walking up to Nobita, wanting to be held. By the next scene with them, Pippo is in Nobita's arms telling him that he doesn't want to fight either and wishes that Lilulu, who had been closing up to him recently, could have the same feelings.
37** Lilulu and Pippo's CharacterDevelopment in general. Pippo learning about friendship from the gang and Lilulu getting her wounds treated by Shizuka cause them have second thoughts about their war against earthlings, and this leads to their HeroicSacrifice in the end.
38** We get to hear the 3rd verse of Mechatopia's Amu and Emu's song again at the epilogue, but the lyrics have changed from "What are you? and what am I?" to "You are me, and I am you." Yep, Mechatopia has changed for the better.
39* In ''Doraemon: Nobita's Diary of the Creation of the World''[[note]]"Nobita's Genesis Diary"[[/note]], the love confession and marriage proposal of Nobihide to Shizuyo (obvious expies of Nobita and Shizuka) is very sweet. Double so for the Nobi lineage to finally become successful like Nobita wanted.
40* ''Nobita's Dinosaur 2006'':
41** Gian declaring he'll help while keeping Piisuke safe from the dinosaur poachers and get him back home at all costs, partially because Nobita saved his life from the ''Quetzalcoatlus'' earlier. He also (rather calmly) talks some sense into [[DirtyCoward Suneo]], who suggested giving Piisuke to the poachers in exchange of going back to their time.
42** Nobita and Piisuke's relationship in general.
43* ''Nobita and the Birth of Japan 2016'':
44** After the gang returns from their first day in the prehistoric past, Nobita's mom is so relieved to see him home that she withholds scolding him. When Nobita talks to the others the next day, he finds out that he was the only one who ''hadn't'' been punished by his parents.
45** Nobita's farewell to Pega, Draco, and Gri gets an AdaptationalAngstUpgrade where he relates his pets' favorite activities to the TimePolice while tearing up and sobbing.
46** The WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue during the end credits, showing Nobita and his friends putting more work into their studies and chores, Nobita's pets living in the future animal sanctuary, and the gang using Doraemon's Time TV to watch Kukuru grow up, become the leader of his tribe, and start a family of his own.
47* ''Anime/StandByMeDoraemon'':
48** When Doraemon and Noby go to the future to the day before Nobita's wedding, they see an adult Shizuka talking to his father, worried about the wedding and how she never did anything for her parents, but his father tells that herself is already a gift and tells the story of the day she was born.
49** Although she was intently worried about her future, his father tells that she can trust Nobita. He describes him as a man whit no qualities but overall a good person who cares for everyone, and that makes him a good man.
50-->'''Yoshio''': Have faith in Noby. You were right in choosing him. He's an ordinary guy with no particular talent, but he wants people to be happy and cries for their pain. That's what makes a good human being. I'm confident he will make you happy, and I'm proud of you for choosing him. Don't worry, everything will work out fine.
51** Once Noby and Doraemon goes back to the present, Noby holds Shizuka hand and promieses that he will make her happy.
52** After Doraemon tells Noby he can't use the gadgets to resolve his problems and that he needs to make an effort to change, in the next morning, Doraemon wakes up and sees Noby studying for his next math exam, whiling to improve himself. This makes Doraemon smile.
53* ''Stand By Me Doraemon 2'':
54** Noby goes to the past to reunite with his grandma (whom in the present passed away), and after proving to her he is his nephew from the future, he asks for one request, to meet the girl she will marry. Noby promises to fullfill her wish.
55** In the same movie, once he's back to his wedding, Future Noby makes a emotional speech, of how he remembers fondly his family wanting him to be better and how he will make the best family for him and Shizuka. Everyone on the crowd, applause with tears, both his family and his friends too. And then, Future Noby notices something on the background. Behind, it's her grandma with both present Noby and Doraemon, all with TearsOfJoy. He gets to see her grandma one more time.
