2* Kintaro giving the money he received from Madame President to an elderly couple being harassed by the {{Yakuza}} in Episode 1.
3* Kintaro pretending to have seduced Naoko (and not the other way around) in Episode 2 to protect her.
4* Episode 3 is a CMOH:
5** Kintaro begging [[{{Yakuza}} Kogure]] to leave [[GirlNextDoor Noriko]] alone, getting his ass kicked for it, and even attempting to cover for Kogure when he is caught by Noriko in a lie as to not hurt her.
6** At the end of Episode 3, Noriko attempts to confess her love to Kintaro, but Kintaro gently interjects to save her embarrassment.
7--->'''Kintaro:''' They're for the person that you love. Remember? I guess we need to find someone who likes flowers as much as you do.
8* Kintaro winning over the children as a swim teacher by having fun with them instead of the [[DrillSergeantNasty drill-instructor like tactics]] of the head teacher, and her realization that her methods were actually discouraging the kids from learning, conceding victory to him.
9* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqpe1HAgs1Y music]] paired with the scene when Reiko tells Kintaro to come back to her.
10* Chie being responsible and staying to finish the film despite wanting to [[RaceForYourLove chase after Kintaro with the other women,]] thanking Kintaro for teaching her to love art again.
11* In the final scene of the anime, despite [[DidNotGetTheGirl not getting the girl(s)]] again and having to bike the hilly countryside on an extremely hot day, Kintaro doesn't let either of these things discourage him and continues on with gusto towards his next adventure.
12-->'''Kintaro:''' Life is study!
