Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
- Arbiter comforts Chief after he has his feelings hurt by a stuck-up gamer he befriended named Craig, who claims to be MLG.

Season 4
Season 5
Season 6
- The ending of Season 6, which culminates in Arbiter, Chief, Cortana, and Greg coming together for a group photo.
- Additionally in the same episode, when Chief goes too far with his cracks to the point where Arbtier starts crying about how awful his existence is, for Chief to try and comfort the one person he can't stand (as much as Arbiter would likewise,) shows that Chief is capable of showing compassion as well.
Season 7
- From "Take a Seat", some of the conversations between Chief and Hallucination!Cortana.Hallucination!Cortana: "Maybe, somewhere deep within your mind, you're a lot smarter and have a much clearer understanding of right from wrong than you think."
- From "Greenlit", Arbiter and Chief are having a conversation in the kitchen regarding Eugene's treatment of Brody and Kyle, with each of them coming to the conclusion that they shouldn't be friends with Eugene or the others anymore; Chief is disheartened by this, as he just wants a friend.Chief: I don't care who it is, or what they've done. I just wanted one, you know? Just one.Arbiter: I know. And you've got one.
- In "Game Over", Chief and Arbiter set aside their differences to spend what little time they have left being friends.
- Claire letting Arbiter know how he has made an impact on her life in "Ignition". Also, Chief telling Arbiter how he always thought of Arbiter as being really cool, and then asking for Arbiter to wait for him outside the entrance to the afterlife, so they can go in together.
Season 8
- The fact that season 8 was made in the first place. The show going on at all gave hope that the massive depression brought on by the last episode will get brighter.
- In Season 8, Arbiter is feeling depressed after coming back to life and wondering what purpose their lives have while being angry at Chief for not caring about it. Chief finds Arbiter sulking in the shower and pulls him out of his rut by telling him that others feel the way Arbiter does but they find meaning in their lives in the works they create and that Arbiter should do the same. Afterwards, Arbiter comes to Chief and says he was right and that he would like to help Chief create content to help pay for a new Halo game. Rather than insulting him as usual, Chief accepts Arbiter's offer.
- After about thirty five minutes of Chief pestering, annoying, and insulting Arbiter as they try to film a movie, Chief mentions a scene where he, aka the movie's protagonist, imprisoned and tortured aliens, which is okay because they're evil. When Arbiter points out that he's an alien (kind of), Chief immediately retorts that he's an exception because he's cool. He tries to downplay it, but doesn't change his meaning.
Other/Unsorted
- "Arby 'n' The Chief Retold
" is a collab project between multiple fans as a 32nd birthday present to Jon, and you can clearly see in Jon's reaction video that he absolutely loves it and is floored by the amount of work put into remaking his work. It reaches an absolute peak when Steve Downes, Master Chief himself shows up at the end of the video to wish Jon a happy birthday and Jon can only react with Stunned Silence and a Jaw Drop.
