Main Game

• This scene where Kaede comforts Shuichi by telling him to believe in himself. Shippers rejoice.
  • Also crossing into Tear Jerker territory, Shuichi visits Kaede's lab after her execution.
• Despite Miu's abrasive personality, Kaede jumps to her defence in the first trial when everybody starts ganging up on her because she's the one who made the cameras for Kaede and Shuichi's trap.
  • Kaede and Miu's dynamic in general, since Kaede has endless compassion and patience for Miu in spite of what a Jerkass she is toward her, which causes Miu to develop clear Tsundere affection for Kaede in turn, to the point where she too is devastated at Kaede's execution.
  • In a similar manner, Shuichi and Miu's dynamic throughout their Free Time Events. Miu takes Shuichi to her lab and shows him some of her inventions, and then wavers when she gets the impression that he does not like them. Shuichi assures her that he finds her inventions incredible (it's just that a lot of them are too bizarre to be practical). With that, Miu begins to warm up to Shuichi and promises to treat him "real good" from there, albeit in her... unique way. Eventually, Miu goes through a wild Love Epiphany and falls in love with Shuichi after he stops her from disemboweling herself in an attempt to prove that she is an augmented human and goes to check on her afterward. She then bakes him a pie and mentions making cookies and chocolates for him (although she added some "hidden ingredients"), grants Shuichi the right to date her by giving him her panties, and then arranges a date in the event that they escape from the academy. Shuichi accepts this with a grimace, but at the same time, he is glad he has managed to form such a connection with Miu.
    • There is another dimension of heartwarming added if Miu's Friendless Background is taken into consideration. Should Kaede and Shuichi complete all their Free Time Events with her, it shows that they have the patience to put up with her batty antics. It also means that Miu may have finally found friends in them both, albeit in her... unusual way.
• Kokichi's reaction to Kaede's execution was crying over her death. It's unknown if they are genuine or if it's actually plain Crocodile Tears, but Kokichi at least had a certain fondness for the pianist.
  • In general, if he makes this face◊, you can be sure that he's at his most honest. Things like calling Kaede "not boring" might as well be small glimpses of this self-proclaimed liar.
• After the first trial, Shuichi is in a massive Heroic BSoD over Kaede's execution. Tenko, of all people, takes the time to tell Shuichi not to be too hard on himself and try not to blame himself for her death. It's sweet she'd put aside her dislike of "degenerate males" when Shuichi is clearly absolutely heartbroken he had to pin Kaede as the culprit.
  • Tenko also defends him if she thinks the others are being insensitive about his grief over Kaede's death.
• A minor one, but Kaede's portrait is always on Shuichi's side during the Debate Scrums.
• A Pre-Character Development Himiko agrees to put on a magic show to cheer everyone up after the first trial.
• Even after Kaito and Kokichi refute Kirumi's The Needs of the Many utilitarianism before anyone can get mad at her, Kaito sticks up for her and urges her to run away.
  Kaito: Enough! She was just trying to stay alive in her own way. Nobody can blame her for that!
• In the third chapter, when Monokuma shows up while everyone is examining Maki's lab, the students freak out and Gonta tells everybody to get behind him.
• In Chapter 3, after Tenko flips Shuichi over, she smiles warmly at him (despite her hatred against men) and tells him that she can sense his lack of self-esteem and doubt over his strength. Then she offers to help him work on that.
  • Also despite claiming it's tiresome, Himiko still comes with Tenko to check out her new laboratory. She might not have reciprocated Tenko's feelings but it's sweet that Himiko does seem to like spending time with her, even if their interests are totally different.
• Tenko offering to be the conduit so that Himiko can say goodbye to Angie, especially when you take in how jealous she was of their friendship earlier on. Sadly, this act of selflessness comes at the cost of Tenko's life.
• After the Chapter 3 trial, Kokichi reminds Himiko to take Tenko's advice and she cries until she's exhausted. Gonta gently carries the sleeping Himiko back to her room.
• Himiko's speech about living positively from now on at the beginning of chapter 4.
  • Heartwarming in Hindsight when you realize that in the previous two games, two characters (namely Kiyotaka and Hiyoko) both died shortly after it seemed like they'd finally get some character development by getting over the loss of a friend. Himiko, however, manages to survive the game.
• Even though he forgets about it shortly after, it's actually kind of sweet to see Monotaro defending his "mommy" (Miu) during the trial. Hell, the fact Miu was actually pleased at being called "mommy" is kind of cute.
• Though his behavior afterward is somewhat divisive, Kaito leaping to Gonta's defence and willing to get into an Argument Armament with Shuichi is sweet.
• In a mixture of this trope, Moment of Awesome and Tear Jerker, Shuichi finally gets sick of Kokichi browbeating the amnesiac Gonta into confessing, and tells Kokichi to shut up, before gently telling Gonta that he'll go over how things went, so they can end the trial together. At this point, Shuichi understands that no matter what Gonta's reasons were for committing murder (he proposes that the avatar error altered Gonta's personality), the Gonta standing with them right now wouldn't want his friends to die for his mistake.
• Maki invites Shuichi to her lab, where Kaito is learning how to put a crossbow together, and soon reveals that she did so in the hopes that the two of them would make up.
• Kokichi giving the antidote to Kaito and allowing himself to die so that Maki wouldn't get executed for killing them. This was the first unarguable hint that this rotten little guy has a heart in there, somewhere.
• Kaito dying peacefully in space instead of being brutally executed, having finally achieved his dream and saved Maki's life.
  • Although, Harsher in Hindsight when it's revealed that Tsumugi (who is revealed to be the mastermind of the killing game that killed Rantaro, framed and executed Kaede, and drove Maki to kill Kokichi, her intended victim during Chapter 5 due to the Flashback Light implanting memories that portrayed Kokichi as a Remnant of Despair) actually gave him his illness as a part of his character. Technically, Kaito was spared a brutal execution dished out by Monokuma, but he sure as hell wasn't spared a slow and painful death gift-wrapped by Tsumugi, who as the mastermind and a producer and/or writer for Team Danganronpa, holds a power even higher than that of Monokuma.
• When Kaito's rocket crashes back into the school, Ki-Bo immediately leaps in front of his friends to protect them from the falling rubble.
• Maki volunteering to sacrifice herself along with Ki-Bo so that Shuichi and Himiko can survive the killing game. She's come a long way from her Aloof Dark-Haired Girl persona from the beginning of the game.
• Ki-Bo's final smile before pressing the Self-Destruct Button in the final execution.
• Ki-Bo's and Miu's friendship is surprisingly cute at times, especially since they are treated like outcasts by the rest of the students (Ki-Bo for his robotic nature and Miu for her rude and vulgar personality). Some moments include:
  • If Shuichi meets up with Ki-Bo after Miu has performed maintenance on him, Ki-Bo happily wants to show Shuichi his "improved performance" even though Shuichi doesn't notice a difference.
  • Ki-Bo and Miu's excitement in showing off a flashlight Miu installed onto Ki-Bo to the other students during the investigation in Chapter 3.
  • When Ki-Bo's Ultimate Research Lab opens up, Miu gets very excited to give Ki-Bo more upgrades, saying he looks so pretty with them and that she wants him to make lots of cute noises. Ki-Bo responds by blushing and tell her not to mention that in front of Shuichi.
  • Double as Tear Jerker. After Miu's death, Ki-Bo still speaks fondly of her despite knowing about her attempt to murder Kokichi and escape, showing that he has forgiven Miu for her actions and clearly misses her. He wistfully talks to Shuichi about how genuine Miu was with machines, and that she had natural innocence she hid deep inside her. This possibly indicated that Miu showed her true self more openly in Ki-Bo's company.
  • It's worth mentioning Ki-Bo is one of the few students that does not get a derogatory nickname from Miu. Likewise, Miu is one of the very few students that Ki-Bo never accused of being robophobic and was surprisingly willing to let her remark in the 3rd trial of him technically not counting as "people" slide, a courtesy rarely given to the other students like Kaede or Shuichi when they are Innocently Insensitive. Then again, he may be somewhat aware of the fact that Miu is Robosexual.
• Himiko admires her master so much that she gets visibly angry at the idea that anyone could be better than them, even if it is herself. Keep in mind that this is before she has her Character Development and starts showing her emotions. That's just how intensely she feels about it.
• Tenko gradually warming up to Shuichi during her free time events despite her irrational distrust of males, with her going from knocking Shuichi out cold in her first event to trusting him enough to tell him all of Neo-Aikido's secret weaknesses in her fourth event.
• Generally speaking, all of the students attempted to save everybody who received an official execution (except for Korekiyo).
  • Gonta, Tenko and Kaito decided to take on the Exisals even though they fully knew they could die trying to prevent Kaede from being executed.
  • When Kirumi tries to escape, most of the cast wants her to escape from Monokuma's punishment, yelling her to run and escape.
  • They refused to let Gonta die even though all evidence appointed that he was the culprit and he didn't remember killing Iruma.
  • Maki decided to take Monokuma and the Exisals at once only to protect Kaito from being executed.
• Tenko and Himiko's entire relationship arc, although the latter only takes an opportunity for etiquette after the former dies.
  • In Chapter 1, Tenko casually expresses obsession over Himiko without reconsideration, and Himiko expresses her disgust and apathy over her actions.
  • In Chapter 2, Tenko becomes overtly protective of Himiko, guarding the tank and Himiko herself unsolicited during the magic show, once informed about the presence of piranhas.
  • In Chapter 3, Himiko finally decides to wholly accept Tenko's sentiment and forms a bond between them both. Just before Tenko's unanticipated demise, Tenko gives Himiko a word of emotional advice by telling her she should not be afraid to express herself. Himiko's passive response to this action is "I think you've trained too much," and Tenko laughs ecstatically in response to this, saying "Hahaha, I probably have." In response to Tenko's demise after this moment, Himiko suppresses herself continuously after, presenting an internal moment of going mad from the revelation that Tenko is dead.
    • The trial for this chapter, involving Tenko's death too, has Himiko trepidatiously and relentlessly defending Tenko post-mortem, demanding that her killer be identified before Angie's.

Ultimate Talent Development Plan

• The interaction Gonta and Chihiro had in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan around Christmas time is extremely heartwarming and cute. Read it for yourself and try not to die from cuteness.
  • Another Chihiro one, this time with Chiaki: Having tea together, where she thanks him for all the hard work he does as a programmer and compliments his ability to create.
  • Another one regarding Chihiro is his interactions with Mondo. In the first game, when Chihiro asked Mondo to train him to be stronger, Mondo snapped and killed him out of stress. Here, however, the two get to train together as was initially planned. It's really nice to see Mondo take on a mentor role for Chihiro, and in one of his events, Mondo even expresses quiet admiration for Chihiro's strength as he walks away.
• The last interaction between Miu and Kiibo has him worrying about what he'll do after graduation, since she won't be around to perform repairs on him anymore. She nonchalantly says that won't be a problem, because she plans to stay with him after. Awww.
• Izuru and Chiaki's events are very sweet. The first one has her inviting him to play video games. Though he beats her, she says she doesn't mind losing because she likes spending time with him, and he agrees to do it more. The second one has him accepting her invitation to a Christmas party, where she and Usami take the chance to point out how much he's changed over the years. It's hard to tell, given that it's Izuru, but he almost seems touched by this.
• Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi planning to throw Hajime a birthday party is just a great callback to their friendship in the second game and a nice gesture overall.
  • This gets a Call-Back in another event, where Hajime asks Chiaki if she'd like to come to the party. Seeing her blush and exclaim how happy she is he invited her, and his surprised but pleased embarrassment that people are making a big deal about his birthday, is pretty cute.
• A really touching one from a really unlikely pair: Ryoma and Mahiru. In their third year, he commissions her to take photos of his classmates. When she asks him why, he says it's because he doesn't know what'll happen to him after graduation, so he wants them "just in case". He then follows up with this:

  Ryoma: I won’t let it end so easily. During the three years we spent in this academy... I found something I don't want to let go of. Something I thought I'd never find again... And your pictures... have captured their smiles so clearly. These pictures will always remind me that the time I spent here was worth every second.

• Let's not forget the final Christmas scene between Ryoma and Fuyuhiko. Though Fuyuhiko didn't have the chance to talk to Ryoma for the last three years, he still offers the Tennis Player to come talk to him if he has nowhere else to go after graduation, because looking out for guys like Ryoma is his speciality.
• Mikan and Tenko is one of the most uplifting things you will see. Tenko, kind she is to fellow women, tells Mikan that she is wonderful and thanks her for her help in the health committee, and Mikan, who has only known abuse and torment from everyone she's known, is so floored by her kindness, that she nearly breaks into tears.
• Mikan and Mondo have a really adorable interaction where Mikan is chasing after Mondo (because his hand was bleeding everywhere, which he didn't notice), only she keeps tripping and falling and apologises repeatedly. Mondo yells at her to calm down, leading Mikan to start crying and pleading with him not to hit her. Mondo, of course, says he'd never do anything so pathetic and apologises for shouting and promises he's not mad at her. When Mikan calms down and asks him to come to the infirmary so she can treat his injury, Mondo says getting his hands all scraped up from fights is no big deal to him, but he agrees anyway so Mikan won't cry anymore. Aww!
• The conversation between Shuichi and Kyoko has Kyoko give Shuichi an uplifting speech and encourage him to be proud of his title of Ultimate Detective.
• During his conversation with Kirumi, Leon mentions he's buying his cousin a birthday present and asks Kirumi for advice on what to get her. It's pretty obvious he's talking about Kanon and though it's probably not doing anything to diminish her obsession with him, it's really sweet that Leon still cares enough about her despite her stalking ways to try and get her something she likes.
• Kokichi and Mikan have a scene in Bonus Mode where Kokichi is faking being sick to get out of doing the sports festival. He doesn't fool the Ultimate Nurse, but when Mikan points out he doesn't seem to be sick, Kokichi starts his usual trolling. However, when Mikan starts to panic and gets upset, thinking she's hurt Kokichi's feelings by calling him a liar, he backs off on teasing her, agrees to go to the sports festival and compliments Mikan on easily seeing through his lies.
• At the end of Gundham's Ultimate Talent Development Plan, his Four Dark Devas of Destruction have had hamster babies and become the Twelve Zodiac Generals, just like in the anime.
• If Gundham cleans the cups during the Christmas party, Kazuichi approaches him and has a surprisingly heartwarming interaction with him, asking him to help him throw a birthday party for Hajime on New Year's. Aside from using the party as an excuse for Class 77-B to get together one last time, Kazuichi also wants Gundham to come because it'll make Sonia happy. Not only does this show that Gundham and Kazuichi do see each other as friends deep down in spite of (or maybe even because of) their desire for Sonia's attention, it's also telling that Kazuichi really does care about Sonia despite his shallow Stalker with a Crush tendencies, as he's willing to invite Gundham knowing full well Sonia likes him more than himself.
• On that note, Gundham and Sonia get quite a bit more Ship Tease together in this mode:
  • Their first friendship event has them encountering each other by chance and deciding to walk to school together, and Sonia states that she's enjoying her time together, noting that she didn't get to do things like commuting to school with her classmate back home and wondering how many more such opportunities she'll have in her time at Hope's Peak. Gundham offers to continue doing so if it makes her happy (by saying he'll "lend you my power again"), and when she delightedly accepts and thanks him, he blushes and hides his face in his scarf once more, as he did a few times around her in the second game.
  • One of Kazuichi's events has Sonia and Gundham in perfect sync, and in one of hers, she comes to get him to bring him to the Christmas party. In both, he refers to her as the "Dark Queen".
  • After the party is over, if Gundham chooses to pack up the extra food, Sonia laments that this was their last Christmas party together and worries that, even if the rest of the class continues to meet for such events after graduating, she won't be able to because she'll be back in her country. Gundham, once again calling her "Dark Queen", claims that the drinks she had at the party were part of a "pact" and that everyone who drank from them formed an "unbreakable pledge" and are now bound by the contract to meet again, assuaging Sonia's fears by reaffirming when she asks that they are all connected and will meet again in the future. It's a very warm thing for Gundham to say and shows that he, too, has grown quite attached to all of their classmates.
• An oddly mean-spirited example that manages to still be touching in its own way: upon hearing Junko make fun of Gonta, Kokichi slides into frame and immediately starts insulting Junko back on Gonta's behalf. Kokichi never drops his carefree persona, but a palpable sense of malice radiates from behind it. Kokichi is many things, but even he's sickened by Junko's pointless cruelty.
• Celeste and Peko develop a friendly rivalry in gaming where they see each other as a Worthy Opponent. Celeste also takes a shine to Kirumi after the latter makes and serves her tea and treats her with kindness, a far cry from how she treats Hifumi as he's doing the same.
• In a scavenger hunt event, Toko can draw a "best friend" card when having to choose a partner. She picks Makoto, and while the English translation simply has her say she can't get something that doesn't exist and picks him because he's "better than the rest", her original reason was that she can't pick someone who isn't here, and choosing Makoto because "his surname's the same" as her best friend. It's only a nod, but the fact Komaru is still Toko's best friend in this scenario, and the fact they even became friends considering neither had an obligation to stay around each other in this setting, is incredibly sweet.
• Gonta offers to introduce Nekomaru to his insect friends... and unlike most people, Nekomaru is actually genuinely interested, because he wants to see the source of Gonta's passion. He also offers to train Gonta, and bonds with him over their shared love of exercise and the outdoors.
• Gonta also becomes surprisingly fast friends with Gundham, mostly of course due to them being consummate animal lovers who have a knack for communicating with them better than any of their classmates and who appreciate each other for also... being that way, but also helped by Gonta's open-hearted nature and kind simplicity lending him to not at all questioning Gundham's additional eccentricities, rather than just... sincerely rolling with them as he enjoys playing with Gundham's animals with him.
• As this is an Alternate Universe, we get to see Tsumugi actually be the nerdy Nice Girl she pretended to be in the main story.
• Rantaro's event with Kirumi has him reminiscing about the maid his family hired as a kid. Talking freely about how his siblings used to fight over her and treat her like their mom. Kirumi doesn't like being compared to a mom, but even she is touched by the story.
• Kaede's scene with Izuru. He watches her practice unprompted and claimed her performance is near perfect, high praise from Izuru who thinks everything and everyone is boring. But then she asks to hear him play and he does. She admits he is better than her but his performance is missing something. Since this is Izuru we know it's missing any emotion whatsoever, but Kaede is having trouble expressing what's wrong with it. She offers to let him come watch her practice so they can figure it out together. And Izuru actually agrees.
  • In his event with Angie, Angie asks him if he came looking for her. Izuru responds with basically "why would I look for the Ultimate Artist in the music room?" and then dodges the question of why he actually is there. Taking his previous event with Kaede into account, the implication is he went there because he was looking for Kaede.
• Chiaki recognizes Himiko as the Ultimate Magician, but Himiko "corrects" her by claiming she is actually a mage. Chiaki doesn't second-guess her and even talks about how wonderful mages in RPGs are, thanking Himiko for her hard work. Himiko seems pretty glad someone understands, but it's even more heartwarming in hindsight when you consider how so many other students can be downright cruel about her belief in magic.
• Hifumi Yamada being thrown a bone for once. His Ultimate Talent Development Plan events focus heavily on his passion for his talent and how hard he works to hone his craft. Additionally, he's shown to be good friends with Chihiro, Gundham and Tsumugi, the latter of whom happily bonds with him over their mutual love of anime and manga. She even briefly considers cosplaying to help draw attention to his booth at his next convention appearance, only deciding against it because she worries people will think it's a promotional stunt (since they're both Ultimates), and Hifumi takes the rejection quite well.
• Teruteru and Miu's interactions, whilst mostly hilarious, are also weirdly wholesome.
• Izuru may be anti-social and blunt to the point of rudeness, but that doesn't stop his peers from trying to include him and encourage him to be more positive. Special mention goes to Chiaki and Kaede, as previously mentioned, but also Usami, who actively hunts him down and forces him to socialize, and Kaito, who worries that Izuru is enabling his nihilistic mindset by calling everything boring.
  • At graduation, Izuru monologues to himself that things turned out mostly as he predicted...but then pauses and closes his eyes, as if questioning whether that means it was boring. It's only a hint of positive change, but it's still pretty big considering his personality.
• An easy-to-miss example, but at one point, Mikan and the Ultimate Imposter kindly but firmly talk Hifumi into taking better care of himself after he starts showing signs of burnout due to working himself into exhaustion from his doujin writing. When asked how they knew what to say, they reveal that it's because they have a friend who often deals with similar problems—it's clear that the friend they're referring to is Ryota Mitarai.
• Teruteru making a hot soup to try to cheer up a depressed Himiko. Despite her not ordering anything, she gladly accepts it and eventually starts to become happier.
• After seeing everyone making fun of or even avoiding Yasuhiro's fortune telling (with them saying it's either all a load or rubbish or too expensive), it's comforting to see someone actually taking it seriously and willing to hear it. Rantaro has been the most optimistic of his fortunes and is also more than willing to pay to have them read, becoming his best customer.
• While Akane has problems remembering people's names, she had no problem remembering Himiko. This is because her siblings are all fans of her magic shows and she takes them to go see her perform.
• Kaede preparing to perform for Maki's orphanage is really touching. Especially when encouraged by Kaito and eventually Maki herself (who helped organize things)

Other Bonus Modes

• Some of the Love Hotel scenes are this.
  • Kaede's event is easily one of the most heartwarming out of the Love Hotel endings. In her fantasy, she apparently sees Shuichi as the same exact person for her "ideal partner", the only real difference being that they've been a couple for a year. The way Kaede explains their relationship honestly isn't much different to what it was like in canon, just a little more intimate. The scene ends on a pretty obvious Sexy Discretion Shot, whereas most of the other Love Hotel scenes end on a more ambiguous note.
  • Sure, Miu may have ruined it with a Baby Trap plan and general Black Comedy shenanigans at the end, but she can be quite adorable when she shows her real self. Her ideal is a childhood friend who sees past her act and has supported her ever since they were kids. Because of this, Miu shyly gives Shuichi permission to have his way with her as a way of thanking him. It also doubles as a Tear Jerker since, if her Friendless Background is taken into consideration, it shows that Miu is very lonely at heart, and she clearly wants someone to be by her side at all times.
  • Ki-bo's is also heartwarming to watch because he doesn't understand what love is. He asks Saihara to help teach him, leading to him saying more and more intensive love lines before Saihara tries to calm him down. After realizing he hurt Ki-bo's feelings by accidentally rejecting him, Saihara agrees to hold Ki-bo's hand. Ki-bo is not very good at that either.
  • In Kirumi's fantasy, she sees Shuichi as the heir to a rich family that she's been serving. She admits that in taking care of him and seeing him grow and experiencing his kindness, she's fallen in love with him, but plans to leave so her feelings don't become a hindrance to him and his destiny. Shuichi rejects the idea that her feelings could ever be a bad thing and that she shouldn't talk down to herself. In the only time outside her execution, the ordinarily calm and confident Kirumi breaks down crying as Shuichi holds her. She asks to stay with him forever, which Shuichi gladly accepts.
  • Ryoma's event is both heartwarming and Tear Jerking. His ideal fantasy is someone who won't give up on him.
  • Tenko's Love Suite Event is a surprisingly pleasant one, given her misandry. Here, she sees Shuichi as a fellow practitioner of Neo-Aikido who has defeated her in a sparring match, and she plainly tells him that he is free to do whatever he wants to her as a result. As Shuichi hesitates to take up the offer, an increasingly frustrated Tenko eventually admits that she challenged him to the sparring match because she is in love with him, and she gets giddy when she finally confesses to him. This suggests that at the very least, she is willing to tolerate boys who take up Neo-Aikido, if not that her romantic attraction to boys in general is heavily repressed.
• Just like the past two games, seeing the ending of Love Across the Universe where Everybody Lives is quite heartwarming.
• In Love Across the Universe, Shuichi can spend Free Time Events with Kaede. In her final event, she finally gets to play Clair de Lune for him like they both wanted.
• Love Across the Universe endings:
  • Angie says that Atua wants Shuichi, the first person who ever scolded her, to become her husband. Shuichi tells her to put the marriage on hold until the two know each other better, and Angie says that Atua is okay with it.
  • Gonta calls Shuichi the truest gentleman there is. Had he not met Shuichi, Gonta would not know how to get his real family to accept his forest family.
  • Shuichi promises to see Himiko and her master perform when they reunite. Himiko then tells Shuichi he's the only one who understands her magic and tells him that she expects to see him in the show.
  • Keebo is afraid his modifications to his backstory settings will turn him into a different person and cause him and Shuichi to grow apart. Shuichi assures him it will go well, and he will still want to be friends with him if it doesn't.
  • Kaede wants Shuichi to come to her house and practice the piano duet. She also offers to teach him about the piano.
  • Kaito and Shuichi acknowledge that their time in the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles helped them hone their talents, with Kaito saying that he learned to practice good communication, a skill that is essential to being an astronaut. He then says he is glad he met Shuichi, who affirms he will always be Kaito's sidekick.
  • Kirumi says she looks forward to the day she serves Shuichi and will polish her skills as a maid until then.
  • Shuichi admits that Kokichi's lies entertained him. Kokichi then advises him to stay by his side if he wants to learn more about him and see what he really is like.
  • Korekiyo offers Shuichi to travel around to witness the beauty of humanity and thanks him for being his friend (although he does say he wants Shuichi to meet his sister and be friends with her...)
  • Maki tells Shuichi that she assassinates people because of underlying complications that can only be settled by murder, so she tells him to resolve them as soon as possible. When Shuichi accepts and vows to do so so that Maki won't be the Ultimate Assassin anymore, Maki replies that she will find another job just in case, even considering becoming the Ultimate Child Caregiver for real.
  • Miu says she wants to be with Shuichi forever; she won't be satisfied no matter how many dates they go on, and there are so many places she wants to go with him.
  • Rantaro, who has finally remembered that he is the Ultimate Adventurer, tells Shuichi that he's only the one who understands how he feels about looking for his family; that is why he wants Shuichi to accompany him in his search.
  • Ryoma, who is now looking forward, says he wants to find what he threw away the moment he gets out of prison, though it might be too late for most of them. Shuichi responds that his time in the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles gave him a new important thing. Ryoma then says that he's glad he met Shuichi.
  • Tenko, having realized that her master is male, concludes that Neo-Aikido could change boys for the better and invites Shuichi to take up Neo-Aikido. She also suggests a sex change (which she prefers) if Shuichi finds Neo-Aikido too tough.
  • Tsumugi gets Shuichi into cosplay and will get him to cosplay as his childhood hero, Kanata the White (also the first cosplay outfit Tsumugi ever made). She also says that looks forward to working with Shuichi in cosplaying (though he notices her façade slip for a split second...)
