History Heartwarming / Bleach

* In the Unmasked databook the badly wounded but still living girls from Harribel's Fraccion beg Orihime to save their "mother" and leader. ''And she does''. Even more so when Orihime offers to heal Apache first, but she refuses because she wants ''that'' badly to have Harribel saved.

* There's a moment where Karin first makes sure Yuzu is alright before [[TheGlomp hugging her in relief.]]

* In the movie, ''Memories of Nobody'', several shinigami turn up to apprehend [[MysteriousWaif Senna]], as it turns out she is the Memory Rosary. Senna panics and insists she is a shinigami, but begins to doubt herself when the others ask why she can't remember her squad, who her captain is or why none of her memories are consistent. When they move to arrest an obviously upset and frightened Senna, Ichigo steps in and says that just because Senna doesn't remember who she is, it doesn't make her a criminal and they shouldn't stop treating her like a human being. It's a sweet moment of Ichigo being his usual protective self, especially as he makes it clear he will fight his friends if they try to throw Senna in jail.

** To add in this novel after Captain Unohana told Rukia that giving him something spicy isn't the best idea for his health in his current condition, she decided to just give him rice porridge but she was worried about giving him something so plain for someone of his status that when she went to his room and found that he was already eating food he got from the manor making her feel like such a fool and decided to leave him be and not give him the porridge, however he stopped her from leaving and then seeing that she brought rice porridge and after seeing her depressed face [[TheStoic he smiles for her]] [[BigBrotherInstinct then ordered his servant to remove the tray filled with the food from the manor from his room so he could eat her porridge.]] Which is generally rather adorable as once again considering their distance and to add when his servant removed the tray and Byakuya got Rukia's attention the quote at the end of the sentence says 'His young little sister...' which for some reason just adds another layer of heartwarming from the way it's quoted.

** Renji and Rukia are revealed to be more than just good friends; [[ChildhoodFriendRomance THEY ACTUALLY GOT MARRIED]] [[BabiesEverAfter AND HAD A DAUGHTER]]! She's a fiery redhead called Ichika, named in honor of her parents' best friends, Orihime and Ichigo. And again, [[StreetUrchin these two spent their early years in difficult and hostile environments]]... [[EarnYourHappyEnding but that won't happen again]].

* 680: Haschhwalth completely [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomps]] Ishida and starts to convince him that his years of friendship with Ichigo and co. are not as valuable and beneficial as time in Wandenreich. [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome Uryu's response ?]]
-->'''Uryu''': You said...The Balance is a choice. Given the choice...[[TrueCompanions i chose to be with them]]...There's no self-interest there. No right or wrong. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Because... we're friends]].

* There are lots of great friendships in Bleach, but this Troper was very touched by Chad and Ichigo's pact; "You use your punches for my sake, and I'll use mine for yours. And if there's anything you're willing to sacrifice your life to protect, then I'll do the same."
** And then how Chad justifies to Kyoraku why he's come so far into Soul Society for a girl he barely knows. Ichigo wants to protect Rukia, and that's more than enough for Chad to risk his life. A little indirect bit for Kyoraku; not only does he seem to understand where Chad's coming from, it appears he does so because he has such a close friend in Ukitake.

** The look on Ryuken's face when Isshin decides to do so, makes the moment that much better. You can definitely see that this is the exact moment when their OddFriendship was formed.

* Chapter 537 has the reveal that [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Kanae and Ryuken]] [[TheyDo did tie the knot]], and Uryu is their son. Immediately becomes a tearjerker since Kanae died nine years ago when the leader of Vandenreich reclaimed his power from all mixed-blood Quincies, which was enough to kill the weaker ones like Kanae. Ryuken still keeps a photo of her in his office.

** From a meta perspective, here’s one for Chad’s fans: After hundreds of hundreds of chapters of him being subjected to TheWorfEffect and [[ButtMonkey getting his ass kicked]] [[MemeticLoser by most of his opponents]], Kubo finally decides to ThrowTheDogABone and gives Chad a really happy ending: In the DistantFinale, he develops a career as a world famous boxer, is pretty wealthy and has millions of fans worldwide! Way to go, Chad!

* There's also the event involving Ichichi the Parakeet, as Ichigo consuls him to allow him to pass on with the promise to see his mom again. It's also adding the fact that Karin and Sado also feel something for the young boy trapped in the bird.

* The very next chapter after that, 407, follows up on it. Since Ichigo understandably gave up after witnessing Aizen soundly defeating all that ever stood a chance against him, Isshin gives out a harsh, but much-needed scolding to his son, coupling it with a reminder of [[AssimilationPlot what'll]] [[KillEmAll happen]] to every single person he knows should they let Aizen succeed.

** Surprisingly, '''Haschwalth''' provides several as his fight with Ishida is cut short by Yhwach going ThePurge again: he aknowledges Ishida as a WorthyOpponent willingly takes his injuries into himself, ''then'' sends him to join his TrueCompanions, and last but not least, as he [[AlasPoorVillain quietly dies]], it's shown that [[TragicKeepsake the hilt of his sword has... Bazz-B's signature motif]].

*** Actually it was ''[[ReasonableAuthorityFigure YAMAMOTO'' ordering the whole ''FREAKING Gotei 13'' to do it.]]

* Chapter (459) After having his fullbring taken by Ginjo, Ichigo goes into another HeroicBSOD. While he's standing there a sword bursts through his chest. He looks back and sees his father and Urahara standing there and assumes that his dad is the one who stabbed him. Isshin: "You idiot...It wasn't me who stabbed you. Look closely." and suddenly Rukia materializes holding the glowing sword stabbed through his chest. Giant explosion and suddenly when the smoke clears Ichigo is in full shinigami garb again.

*** Actually it was '''[[ReasonableAuthorityFigure YAMAMOTO''' ordering the whole '''FREAKING Gotei 13''' to do it.]]

* The fight against Numb Chandelier in the beginning of the series, in the "Princess & Dragon" chapters. First we had Tatsuki charging in, beating away the controlled students from Orihime, and declaring her intents to make the hollow pay. Cue the end of the chapter, and a little drawing of a dragon standing in front of a princess defensively. The next chapter, things go wrong and Tatsuki is beaten. As Orihime's powers begin to manifest and she faces Numb Chandelier, she promises to be the one to protect Tatsuki this time. The chapter ends, and we're treated to another little picture. This time, The princess stands in front of the fallen dragon, [[http://manga.animea.net/bleach-chapter-42-page-20.html her arms outstretched]].

* Chapter 398. Ichigo's first reaction to finding out Ishhin is a Shinigami is [[Funny/{{Bleach}} hilarious.]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/94-49861-10/bleach/chapter-398.html The second?]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/94-49861-11/bleach/chapter-398.html It's very]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/94-49861-12/bleach/chapter-398.html heartwarming]].

* Chapter 406. First gives out something of a HopeSpot, when [[TheChessmaster Kisuke]], [[BigGood Isshin]] and [[ActionGirl Yoruichi]] all tag-team against [[HumanoidAbomination Chrysalis-Aizen]], who has since grown increasingly careless and cocky since his transformation, essentially forgoing and/or trading in intellect, deception and resorcfulness, with brute strength and ultimate power. As a result, since his transformation was still in the works, they were all evenly-matched throughout the majority of the entire battle....until the transformation finally reached its end stages, causing Aizen to emanate an extremely powerful shockwave that utterly trounces ''all three of them''. By this point, Ichigo himself is the only one left, with Gin calmly demoralizing and breaking his resolve in a BreakingLecture mixed in with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, by pointing out that, with his already fragmented and unfocused state, combined with the ''frightening'' power of the BigBad, all it'll take is just one second for Ichigo to lose absolutely everything. About a minute later, Aizen and Ichimaru both open up a Senkaimon and head directly towards the Soul Society, to the direction of where the real Karakura Town -- Ichigo's ''hometown'', no less -- so that he could destroy it, create the Ouken in the process and overthrow the Spirit King himself, all in front of the broken Ichigo, whom by this point, is completely powerless to stop them, simply because he's just not at their level at all. What happens next? Isshin, his father, quickly picks himself up, urges Ichigo to open a Senkaimon to the real hometown, [[http://www.mangareader.net/94-52554-19/bleach/chapter-406.html and wraps his arm around his son.]]

* The very next chapter after that, 407, follows up on it. Since Ichigo understandably gave up after witnessing Aizen soundly defeating all that ever stood a chance against him, Isshin gives out a harsh, but much-needed scolding to his son, coupling it with a reminder of [[AssimilationPlot what'll]] [[KillEmAll happen]] to every single person he knows should they let Aizen succeed. [[http://www.mangareader.net/94-53161-12/bleach/chapter-407.html This is the effect it has on Ichigo]].

* 417. Ichigo's return. Before going against Aizen and after rescuing Rangiku, he [[http://www.mangarush.com/manga/bleach/417/p-3 thanks]] Isshin for his help and says his sisters [[http://www.mangarush.com/manga/bleach/417/p-4 will be safe from now on]], then addresses [[http://www.mangarush.com/manga/bleach/417/p-5 his friends]] before asking them to not move from their places...

** The [[http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/459/15 page]] that cements this as a Heartwarming Moment.

* 462: " Kurosaki-kun [[http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/462/8 is not crying anymore... I'm so happy!]]" Also paired up with Orihime being overjoyed upon seeing "Toushiro-kun", "Abarai-kun" and "Kuchiki-san".

* Chapter 477: The young Tsukishima and Ginjou [[http://www.mangareader.net/bleach/477/18 here]].
