** In the manga, when Revy asks Rock to tell her why she has to always go along with what he wants (with a lot more swearing) Rock gives a little speech: [[spoiler: ''”Back in my country, you called yourself a gun. If you're a gun, then I'm a bullet. A bullet's just a lump of lead. But, once the hammer hits it, that lump of lead gains the power to blow anything away. If we had never met, then I would have spent my entire life as just a lump of lead. But, we did. The gunpowder was always waiting to explode. And the only thing that can ignite that gunpowder is a gun.”'']]

** At the end of issue 34, Rock and Revy revisit the kids and Rock gives her the nod to demonstrate her can trick with her Cutlass. After she ... impresses ... the kids she turns and [[http://www.mangareader.net/black-lagoon/34/19 gives Rock a small, almost bashful smile]]. After everything they've been through in Japan so far, she's willing to briefly show a little bit of simple happiness to Rock.

* The way Chang ends the second Lovelace job for himself, specifically trying to give ''[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Rock]]'' something resembling an ending. It's more of a gentle BreakingSpeech than anything, but that sort of kick in the pants is what Rock's apparently needed since Fabiola brought him down a peg. Even though Chang's probably got several [[TheChessmaster different]] [[CombatPragmatist practical]] [[MagnificentBastard reasons]] for doing so, and just got done laughing in our faces for thinking of him as the "[[OnlySaneMan decent]]" crime boss, it's rather nice seeing him act the OlderAndWiser figure and straighten the newly-minted crook out a bit.

* The ending of "The Wired Red Card" arc for Rock, especially when comparing it to how "El Baile de la Muerte" ended. Especially noticeable when comparing how the arc begins vs. how it ends. Whereas the beginning, dealing with the aftermath of the "El Baile de la Muerte" arc, had Rock depressed over working hard to protect Roberta and being rewarded with a blank to the chest, swearing off the prospect of helping another person. However, the arc sees Rock helping out Feng because she told him "enjoy yourself" and he felt grateful for the advice. Notably, Rock was much less of a ManipulativeBastard in this arc as he was in the previous arc. Because of this, Feng seems genuinely appreciative of Rock's efforts in protecting him compared to the colder reception he got after "saving" Roberta. And while the Lovelace household wanted nothing to do with the Lagoon company at the end of their arc, Feng is already shown to be a helpful ally to the Lagoon Company in the very next arc.

*** It should be noted that Revy ''lied'' to Shenhua and Leigharch to get them to agree to the rescue--she had the documents on her at the time, but insisted they needed to go get Rock because he had them. Despite the fact that she could've easily completed the job, she took it on herself to save Rock.

** If we are to interpret that as Hansel and Gretel in the afterlife, it's easy to assume that this means the two of them ended up in Heaven instead of Hell.

** Balalaika gets a second CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming in the twenty-second episode, which contains a flashback to the Afghan War that has the young Balalaika looking through the scope of a sniper rifle, scanning for potential targets. She sees a young woman holding an infant standing out in the open with no cover: a perfect target. Only, she passes right over her, and takes a much more difficult shot on a man holding a gun.

* One thing that shows how twisted the morality in Black Lagoon is that one (possible) CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming is an adult woman threatening to kill a child. Or, to be more precise: [[SociopathicHero Revy]] telling [[CreepyChild Gretel]]: "You mess with [Rock] once more, and I'll kill you." That, plus the punch in Gretel's face after Rock stormed out of the room, is the very first time she openly protected/defended him.
