1Heartwarming moments in ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace''.
2----
3* Before Bulk and Skull's BigDamnHeroes moment in the finale, they do a little handshake as if to say ItHasBeenAnHonor.
4** During the IAmSpartacus moment, Bulk declares himself to be the Blue Ranger, the same Ranger (Billy) that he used to bully in high school. It's most likely unintentional, but it's a nice touch.
5** Its a really small moment, but the absolute beaming smile on Bulk's face when Skull is the first person to join him in declaring themselves rangers him is a wonderful moment for the TrueCompanions.
6* Karone and Zhane's relationship.
7* Pretty much the entirety of 'The Rangers' Leap of Faith', but especially the ending.
8-->'''Astronema:''' Look, I don't expect you to like me. I mean I've never....I've never had a friend. I didn't deserve one. I only hope that one day you'll believe that I don't want to hurt you.
9-->'''Cassie:''' ...I believe you.
10-->'''Carlos:''' Yeah, me too.
11-->'''Cassie:''' Not "maybe one day"...[[EasilyForgiven but right now]].
12-->'''TJ:''' If you ask us, [[YouAreNotAlone you've got five friends]].
13-->'''Ashley:''' And hey, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre you deserve every single one]].
14* At the end of "The Delta Discovery," the Phantom Ranger leaves two messages for the Rangers--one to let them know he's continuing the search for Zordon and the other one specifically for Cassie.
15-->"I'll be alright, Cassie. Please, don't forget me. I'll see you soon!"
16* "From Out of Nowhere, Part 2", as Andros repairs Alpha 6's damaged voice.
17-->'''Andros:''' Alpha, what is your mission?\
18'''Alpha 6:''' My mission is to protect the Power Rangers. And their quest: to protect the universe from the forces of evil. One goal, one team known as the Power Rangers!
19* Zordon [[spoiler: when things are in their DarkestHour and the entire universe is under attack doesn't hesitate to volunteer for the ultimate HeroicSacrifice. He's been the BigGood over the entire franchise, providing wisdom and [[CrazyPrepared did a LOT]] to try to keep the universe safe some of it while being a SealedGoodInACan. And he still gave.]]
20* It's pretty clunky in a lot of ways, but "The Wasp With A Heart" manages to be a rather effective one in most respects, especially the ending. Special mention to Patricia Ja Lee, who gives a really good, earnest performance throughout in what had to be something of a challenge given how goofy Waspicable's costume is. A particular highlight is her heartbreak over his apparent sacrifice that morphs (ahem) into furious rage.
21** Also, Astronema has a brief MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment when Sting King attacks Waspicible after she joined in with Ecliptor bullying him. Astronema shows she's not as heartless as she likes to pretend. After Cassie shoots a particularly harsh DeathGlare at her, she just looks sad and remoreseful, like she's nonverbally agreeing with Cassie's nonverbal condemnation.
22* Justin's return in "True Blue To The Rescue". He still cares about the Rangers and wonders if they are okay and the Rangers in turn are glad to see him again. While he doesn't return for another episode, just the fact that he was still there for his old friends for once last time was very touching.
23** The ending, where Justin's dad decides to take his son fishing that Sunday and worry about the work he has to take care of on Monday.
24* At the end of "Shell Shocked", Andros is quick to believe the [[Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] when they insist that they're no longer under Astronema's control. After some hugging and handshaking between the Turtles and Rangers, the Rangers even grant Michelangelo's request for some sky-surfing before bringing them home to New York City.
25* When Andros runs off to look for his missing sister, Carlos follows after him and protects him when it turns out to be a trap.
26* Andros giving Ashley a necklace for her birthday, right after a BaitAndSwitch moment where he says his planet doesn't celebrate birthdays.
27--> '''Ashley''': You didn’t ''have'' to get me anything. I don’t expect you to know all the weird customs here on Earth.
28--> '''Andros''': Actually… *pulls a gift box out of his pocket* Happy Birthday, Ashley.
29* Rita and Zedd once again proving their marriage wasn't a sham. Not only are they actively supporting each other through the season, but the moment they are purified by Zordon's energy wave; they still instantly recognize each other despite their new forms and joyfully begin dancing to celebrate their new lease on life.
30** This also carries with it the implication Zordon's energy could detect the PowerOfLove within them, something stated to be a force for good multiple times prior, was genuine and knowingly sparred them despite being former enemies. Given what is seen in ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'' later, the wave didn't even strip away their magic powers but might have improved them now as a force for good.
31** Similarly is Divatox's response to her own purification. We see her running from the Z Wave, only for it to overtake her, and we see her marveling at how she survived (saying "I'm gorgeous!" in the process), and is now clad not in the pirate queen wear but in a pure white dress (suspiciously similar to Dimitria's, which ties in to the long running theory that she is Dimitria's missing sister), with no mask, both indicating that the villain is gone.
32--> '''Divatox:''' I'm alive! Alive!
33* In "The Secret Of The Locket", Astronema has a BigDamnHeroes moment when she saves a family from one of her own Quantrons. What makes it special is that nobody ever put her up to it, nobody ever said a word to talk her into doing the right thing, she did it without being asked because she knew in her heart that she had to protect that family. Andros was shocked, she looked a weird mix of shocked and relieved. Astronema all but paused her attack until Cassie guided that family to safety. It was the first blatant clue that Astronema has a good heart beneath her evil facade [[spoiler: and the first clue that she's actually Andros's sister, Karone.]] She was the first Power Rangers villain to do a good deed unprompted by anything but her own morals.
34* Justin's happiness at seeing Storm Blaster after the robot's capture by Divatox, followed by him enquiring after Lightning Cruiser.
35* Six words: [[IChooseToStay “My home is with you guys.”]]
36** The other rangers’ reactions to seeing Andros return are pretty sweet too. Especially Ashley, who for a moment was led to believe they were doomed to be StarCrossedLovers, and is practically beaming upon hearing his voice again.
37--> '''Ashley:''' Are you sure you don’t wanna to come with us?
38--> '''Andros:''' KO-35 is my home.
39--> ''later''
40--> '''Andros:''' DECA, set a course for Earth.
