  • In episode 7, when Pop wets herself and is crying, Doremi is watching and selflessly uses her last magic sphere to make a magic washing machine for her sister. Awwww.
  • Episode 2 of Sharp, Doremi and her mom share a bath while discussing the hardships and joys of being mothers, which dives into a mild Tear Jerker as Doremi's mom reveals that a Career-Ending Injury ruined her dream of taking up the piano, resulting in a suicidal depression. Being pregnant with Doremi however, inspired her not to give up.
  • Doremi encouraging her sister to take piano in the Sharp movie after telling her why their mom didn't teach her. Cue episode 40, where Pop starts to learn from both her mom and big sister. At the end, Doremi tells Haruka she'd like to take up piano again as a hobby and starts a duet with Pop, with a Tears of Joy reaction from the former pianist.
  • Midway through Motto, Momoko wanted to connect to Hana as much as the other girls have. While she makes a rather big mistake that most of the others scold her for, Onpu understands the struggle as she had gone through the same thing due to her job and has them make an audio message encouraging her not to give up (Doremi even echoes the advice her mom gave to her about how it takes time to become a parent). Eventually, Momoko's efforts pay off.
    Momoko: Hana-chan, I love you. Daisuki yo...
    Hana: ...Momo...
  • Episode 45 of Motto!, Kayako, who's spent most of the season trying to deal with her problems with going to school, manages to talk with the people who caused the problem and make up. The episode culminates with her being supported by both 5th Grade classes and going into the classroom. Also doubles as a Tear Jerker.
  • Baba showing how much she cares for Laura during Dokkan episode 34 by retrieving her scarf after it was blown away.
  • The whole series is built around these, as most of the episodes are about the girls helping their classmates/family with their problems. In the fourth season it even becomes a main plot point for them to reawaken the heartwarming memories of Majo Tourbillion.
  • Akira healing Reiko's heart in her backstory. To elaborate, Reiko was a Meal Ticket for a Jerkass Gold Digger who basically went after her For the Evulz and broke her just to rub salt in the wound. Akira coming in and being accepted by Reiko's mother along with him being an overall genuinely Adorkable Nice Guy helped heal that wound.
  • When Doremi slips and falls on a flight of stairs said to curse anyone who does that with bad luck, Kotake intentionally slips and falls on the same flight so that Doremi wouldn't be cursed alone.
  • Episode 12 of Naisho is full of these.
    • Thought the episode, Doremi befriends Non-chan by going everyday to the hospital to play cards with her and showing interest in her love for witches, improving Non's depressed mood on her last days.
    • When Non-chan starts losing faith in magic, Doremi reunites the girls and together they secretly give her enough magic to become an Apprentice Witch for one night. With that magic, Non-chan decides to grant the dreams of the kids at the hospital instead of her own.
    • As Non's condition worsens in her final days, on the other side, Doremi rushes to the hospital, encouraging Non to fight her illness and not give up. Unfortunately, despite her best efforts, she lost the battle.
    • The witches begging Rikka to convince the Witch Queen to allow Non to become an apprentice, even addressing Non as the Seventh Witch Apprentice. Unfortunately, when she's finally approved, it was too late for Non.
    • At the climax of the episode, Doremi has a snowball fight with Non-chan's mother. The reason? To carry out Non-chan's wish after she died, as Non-chan's mother promised to have a snowball fight with her when she recovered. Doremi carrying it out allowed Non-chan to fulfill that promise through Doremi. Has to be seen to be emotional.
    • A little kid from the hospital who was a friend of Non-chan is seen recovering at the end of the episode. Doremi hugs him.
  • In Episode 13 of Naisho (which technically counts as the last released episode of Ojamajo Doremi), Doremi becomes fast friends with another girl named Fami on Hinamatsuri (Girl's/Doll's Day). She introduces Fami to the rest of her family, and they celebrate the holiday together. At the end it's revealed that Fami herself is a witch apprentice, as well as Doremi's granddaughter from the future. With the Empress doll Doremi had since she was a toddler, Fami traveled back in time to meet her grandmother's younger self, and also confirm that Doremi herself was a magic-user. In the penultimate episode of Dokkaan, it was Doremi's wish to be able to pass on tales of magic and witches being real to her children and grandchildren, and it's incredibly sweet seeing her in Fami's memory passing on the Hinamatsuri blessing of her family to her granddaughter.
  • The picture above from season 1 episode 17, when Seki-sensei lets Masaru take his anger out on her to convince him that it was okay to trust adults. Even before then, she casually chats with the accused delinquent about his father's upcoming return.
  • Whenever an episode revolves around one of the girls and their respective family, it's bound to be this and a Tear Jerker.
    • Episode 11 of Sharp reveals that Hazuki's mother was raised in very strict environment and that's why she wanted Hazuki to do all the things she couldn't do. When Hazuki comes to know this, she consoles her mother with the latter's favourite doll. And later, they tearfully hug.
    • Episode 20 of Sharp has Aiko finally seeing her mother and spending the day with her. It's clear just how much it means to by how excited she is during the whole episode.
    • The aforementioned Episode 40 of Sharp.
