Context Heartwarming / ResidentEvil6

Go To

1* Sherry and Jake's campaign in general. The children of the greatest villains of the series slowly become FireForgedFriends, and the amoral, cynical mercenary Jake who has an incredibly DarkAndTroubledPast slowly undergoes serious CharacterDevelopment, mellowing considerably under Sherry's influence.
2** Sherry makes Jake promise that if Simmons turns out to be a traitor and the rendezvous is a trap, regardless of what happens to her, he will run. When time comes, however...
3--->'''Sherry:''' You promised!\
4'''Jake:''' I lied.
5** After defeating Ustanak in Jake's final chapter:
6--->'''Jake:''' You saved me. You know that, don't you?
7** At the beginning of their campaign, Jake asks for $50 million for his world-saving blood. In their ending, Jake texts Sherry saying that he lowered the price to $50.
8** For an additional heartwarming factor, Albert and William were [[VillainousFriendship friends and rivals in equal measure]], having known each other since their teenage years and sharing their treacherous plans only with one another. Now their children carry on that friendship and may even become a couple, judging by the massive amount of ShipTease between the two.
9* In Leon's final chapter, he [[spoiler:protects an unconscious Ada from a mutating Simmons, going so far as to shield her from a hail of spikes with his own body. When Ada wakes up she gives a sarcastic remark, but she also touches Leon's hand on her shoulder, like a silent little thank you. The dialogue and the context makes it even more heartwarming, though; Leon had recently been told Ada was dead, and while she's knocked out, he tells her that if she's the real Ada, she can pull through. The relief in Leon's voice when he makes his own sarcastic joke in response seals it. The whole scene is reminiscent of their final scenes together at the climax of VideoGame/ResidentEvil2.]] Not only that, they play a reprisal of some of the music in Resident Evil 2, specifically the music from the part where Leon and Ada are in the security office and Ada is telling him to leave without her.
10** Helena being exonerated at the end of the campaign, after being hell-bent on avenging Deborah and was willing to turn herself in after defeating Simmons.
11* After spending a good portion of the game acting cold towards Piers, Chris [[spoiler:tells him he would be honored if Piers took over his role in the BSAA once Chris retires. Sadly, things don't turn out that way.]]
12* Jake Muller, mercenary and [[MoneyFetish money lover]], just seems to be a cocky {{Jerkass}}. One of the game's producers in an interview stated that he [[EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas does all of those things to support his (single) mother]]. Awww.
13** Well, she died before the events of the game, but he did become a mercenary to support her.
14* The credits song at the end of Jake and Sherry's campaign definitely qualifies. Starting while [[spoiler:Jake and Sherry are escaping together after beating the Ustanak for the last time]], the lyrics are incredibly sweet, and considering the song is sung by [[Creator/TroyBaker Jake's voice actor himself]], it's as if the song is Jake putting his feelings about Sherry and everything they went through together into words. Heartwarming indeed.
15* Unlockable documents reveal a rare compassionate side of Simmons. It is reveal that he allowed Claire to keep in contact with Sherry over the years, with her being Sherry only comfort and emotional support. Sherry in turn idolized Claire and hopes to become a strong and dependable woman like her.
16* Leon and Sherry reuniting for the first time in years. The two even share a moment of reminiscing their time together in Raccoon City. In addition, while Sherry is in disbelief after hearing from Leon about Simmons, she fully trusted him even though she was ordered not to trust anyone, because Leon is more than just anyone. Looks like Claire isn't the only parent figure Sherry has.
