* Kosukegawa praying at a shrine for the courage to confess to Motoko ...who unbeknownst to him is [[RightBehindMe standing right behind him]]. Cue the long awaited RelationshipUpgrade.
* The special present given by Hibiki to Kosukegawa for his birthday, which is a [[spoiler:scarf that Motoko and all of the [=HiFuMi=] knitted for him]].
* Kosukegawa comforting Mikiri after [[spoiler:her fight with the guys who ruined "Granny's" odango]].
* [[spoiler:The ending scene that transitions from Kosukegawa crying after realizing [=HiFuMi=] and Motoko are one and the same now, to him crying as he and his daughters take pictures with the Kamen Raiders.]]
* [=HiFuMi=] figuring out their true parentage.
-->'''Fujiko:''' You're right... it really is a miracle.
* The reconciliation between Ginga and the Gadam (i.e. [[spoiler: Izuru Hino]]).
* Kosukegawa's first encounter with [[spoiler: Zero]] is a mixture of TearJerker and this. [[spoiler: Despite successfully getting into a position to finally take her down, he doesn't. He simply can't bring himself to hit Motoko.]]
** The image of [=HiFuMi=] and Motoko all working together to stop [[spoiler: Zero]] from killing Kosukegawa. Sure, it's just a metaphor, but damned if it isn't a powerful one.
