Babies Ever After / Anime & Manga

• Akame ga Kill! ends with Mine, who awakens from her coma, and Tatsumi starting a family together since Mine got pregnant with Tatsumi's child before he got transformed into a dragon. It's a nice subversion of the anime's Adaptational Alternate Ending where they died.
• In Amagami SS, the epilogue to Tsukasa's arc. Her Good End in the Visual Novel is what the epilogue was adapted from.
• In the ending of the manga Aragami Hime, Shirou and Kazuki have a son and a daughter.
• The Ending of Bannertail: The Adventure of Gray Squirrel, wherein Banner and Sue have lots of adorable squirrel babies in the final episode.
• Berserk:
  • Griffith, during his Despair Event Horizon, has a vision of he and Casca sharing a quiet life as a couple with a child that is presumably his. There are several speculations as to the nature of this scene, whether it's a hallucination depicting Griffith's possible unrequited feelings for Casca and living a simple life with her, or if it is a hallucination of the sort of life that Griffith doesn't want, since his grander dream of becoming king of his own empire is seemingly at its end and he never wanted to settle for a "normal" life to begin with. Also, some fans go so far as to speculate that the scene is a What Could Have Been-esque vision of Griffith's life after Guts' second impending departure from the Hawks which would heavily imply that the child that Griffith and Casca are raising is Casca's son by Guts, not Griffith's. Needless to say, this vision is not followed by anything happy, especially since it was induced after Griffith witnessed Guts and Casca expressing their feelings for one another.
  • Furthermore, in the manga continuity, this trope is cruelly subverted in the case of Guts and Casca, as Casca was indeed pregnant with Guts' child at the time, but after Griffith crosses the Moral Event Horizon, absolutely nothing ends well for Casca, Guts, or their unborn child.
• In Black God, Keita and Akane had 2 grandchildren, with Keita dying of old age. In the manga version, it only shows Keita and Akane having a son.
• Bleach: The epilogue is set ten years into the future and reveals the fates of the characters. Renji and Rukia are together and have a daughter called Ichika while Ichigo and Orihime have a son the same age as Ichika, whose name is Kazui. The epilogue shows Ichika and Kazui meeting for the first time and trying to upstage each other when announcing to each other that they are both Shinigami.
• The last three pages of Boys Empire are a cavalcade of babies, the paternity of some of which is unclear. The mothers kind of got around. Hitomi's baby is obviously Makoto's.
• Ceres, Celestial Legend: Subverted, where Aya learns about being pregnant in volume 12 and is in her last month of pregnancy at the end of the series.
  • A side-story in another one of Yuu Watase's works showed on the last page, that Aya gave birth to a daughter. And Toya, who had stated that due to having given up the Mana that he was made of he was slowly dying and might have a year or few more left, is still alive. Retains a bittersweet note as Toya is still slowly dying.
• In Change 123, the final chapter shows Kosukegawa and Motoko as adults with three daughters, each of them looking very similar to one of Motoko's three personalities that she fused with at the end of the series.
• Implied in the manga epilogue of Chrono Crusade. Azmaria has a grandchild shown in the Distant Finale, and considering his resemblance to Joshua and the fact that they're shown with their hands clasped with a ring on Az's finger, they likely married and had at least one child together.
• The Epilogue of Code Geass R2 shows Kaname Ohgi as Prime Minister of Japan, with his wife Viletta (who is visibly pregnant) watching him on TV...from Tamaki's bar.
• The last chapter of Digimon Adventure 02. It shows a few couples (Yamato and Sora and Ken and Miyako) that got together and ones that didn't, much to the disappointment of some fans, but every single grown up main character, even those whose spouses (if they have one) aren't shown, has at least one child.
• Doctor Slump: In one chapter of the original series, Obotchaman travels to the future with a time machine and discovers that he and Arale will be married with a baby robot built by Dr. Senbei (both Obotchaman and Arale are Ridiculously Human Robots). In the final episode of the remake there is the same scene (with their baby ten years in the future), except that the moment is shown in the epilogue rather than as a result of time travel. Also, the same episode ends with the birth of Turbo, Senbei and Midori's son, and the epilogue shows they will have other children.
• At the end of Dragon Ball Z there are Gohan and Videl with their daughter Pan, and Bulma and Vegeta with their second child, Bra/Bulla.
  • During the last arc, Krillin and 18 have a daughter named Marron, showing they got a happy ending. Initially there's not much to her, but the latest series is moving her away from this a little.

• Among the ending scenes in Future Diary is one with World 2 Minene living a peaceful life with World 3 Nishijima, and having two young children. Two young floating children, as they seem to have inherited some of her god-powers.
• In the Distant Finale of Gaiking: Legend of Daiku Maryu, Shizuka is, as always, pulling the massive lever that powers on the firing mechanism of the Daiku Maryu's head, but this time she's doing it while breastfeeding a little baby. Given that Sakon is also carrying a baby on his back, the two hooked up in the end, surprising precisely nobody.

• In Gundam Build Fighters, Reiji and Aila's daughter is the cause of the Island Wars OVA events.

• In the Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou TV series, towards the end Inori's sister Seri is all but outright stated to be pregnant with Iktidaru's child; the series' epilogue (before it goes for the Multiple Endings) shows Sefuru holding their baby.
• In an interesting variation of the trope, HeartCatch Pretty Cure!'s finale shows that Tsubomi's mother (who had been previously established to be pregnant in episode 43) has given birth to her second child, a baby girl named Futaba, who Tsubomi and Erika are shown interacting with before walking off to school.
• After the variant in HeartCatch, HuGtto! Pretty Cure plays the trope straight, as in the 12-year Time Skip, Hana/Cure Yell gives birth to a baby girl, making her the first Cure to become a mother. This baby girl also happens to be the true form of Hugtan, the mascot of the series, and Hana's successor as Cure Tomorrow.

• I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying ends with Kaoru giving birth to her daughter Sayoko.

• In the manga ending of Karin, Karin Maaka and Kenta Usui have a daughter named Kanon, who is actually the reincarnation of Sophia Pistis.

• Planetes ends with some baby clothes being hung on a clothesline....
• Professor Burnet is shown slightly pregnant in the final seconds of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. After she and Kukui took in Ash for so long, it makes sense that they'd be ready for a kid of their own. The child would be born during Pokémon Journeys: The Series; a baby boy named Lei.

• In the finale of Violinist of Hameln, 10 years after the final battle, Flute and Hamel are revealed to have 9 kids! Since they all seem to be pretty close in age to each other, it means Flute had to be pregnant non-stop or often gave birth to twins or triplets. Her magical royal blood must have contributed a lot for her to be that healthy and youthful even after all that.
