Heartwarming / Dragon Ball GT

• Episode 34, Pan helping Goku get himself under control when he was a Great Golden Ape.
  • A flashback to a family and friends' day out on the beach, before Goku went off to train Uub. Goku, the guy who's always leaving his family behind to fight or train or both, actually said something contrary to that:
  Chichi: It's days like this that make all of the hard times we've been through seem worth it.
  Goku: Well, I have to admit, I do miss all the fighting. *turns to look at Chichi, smiling* But here, I get to be with you guys!
  • During his rampage as the Great Golden Ape, he catches a glimpse of the Earth again, but this time, it seems to calm him down, and he starts to plaintively attempt to reach for it, showing that even in his berserk state, he cares about his home world.
• Even when he's no longer around, Buu still looks out for Mr. Satan by convincing Majuub to throw the match with him. Even better, unlike his fight with 18, Satan is allowed to think he genuinely won on his own terms, allowing him to finally retire on a high note.
  Mr. Satan: I actually won against Majuub...I didn't know I still had it in me...I'M THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!
• Episode 39, Vegeta's reaction once he regained consciousness after Goku had severed his tail and Baby had left his body. Surrounded by his friends and family who are all still worried about him, Vegeta smiles as he awakes and sees everyone hovering over him.
• In episode 45 Vegeta, while fighting against Super 17, remarks that he is an Earthling who carries the heart of the Saiyan's.
• In episode 60, Goten, Trunks, and Gohan buying Vegeta and Goku time to perform the fusion dance. The sight of it causes Goku to pause and watch on with a smile. Might be Dub Text but it's definitely heartwarming Dub Text! ^note In the Japanese version, Goku was snickering over the fact it was Vegeta who suggested fusion
  Goku: *smirks and chuckles contently* Just soaking it all in, watching our sons fight together. It doesn't get any better than this.
  • Also, a moment that doubles as Now I'll protect you when SSJ4 Goku is losing against Omega Shenron, both his sons charge into the battle, despite being massively outclassed and pull their father to safety—Gohan literally carrying him and Goten working as distraction.
• The Funimation version of Grandma Pan's exchange with Puck in the series finale
  Puck: You're related to Mr. Satan, the world's hero? And you're related to Goku too?
  Pan: Yep. I've got more crazy relatives than I'll ever know what to do with... and they're all heroes.
• Despite what has been said about Goku being a bad or neglectful parent, he becomes absolutely LIVID in episode 57 when Eis Shenron has the audacity to beat up Pan. Not only does he give a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, but he also starts a BRUTAL beat-down. Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
• During the final battle with Omega Shenron, when it appears that Goku has been killed, Vegeta charges at Omega while screaming "THIS IS FOR KAKAROT!"
• The statue of Goku and Mr. Satan deserves special mention; two statues of Earth's greatest heroes. It's especially heartwarming considering the people of Earth finally recognized that Goku was the true protector of Earth.
• Whether you like them or not, or even consider their existence canon. Watching Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr. is surprisingly adorable. The pair are polite to one another during their match (even if, true to his ancestor, Vegeta Jr. used a little Trash Talk early on). That and they seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves during their fight.
• The song that plays in the Spanish dub at the end of the series, "Mi Corazón Encantado" is incredibly sweet. It is a nostalgia trip all the way through, as it is basically an anthem to all the wonderful memories you had as a child, and a loving sendoff to one of our childhood heroes.
• The ending. Though GT in general had its ups and downs, the ending is nothing if not perfect!
  Narrator: Now we end the story of the Dragon Balls, with the hope that Earth will never again see the kind of darkness that brought it close to extinction so many times. But if that day comes, there is one who will step out of the shadows and fight in the name of all that is Good and True!
  Goku: Until we meet again, guys!
  • The Japanese version is very different.
  Narrator: We had fun because Goku was there. He's cheerful, he's kind. That's the Goku everyone loves. And thus, the story of Dragon Ball ends."
