Moments pages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.


  • Wallace and Scott's friendship; Wallace is generally quick to provide Scott info and advice against the various exes (when his other friends would rather distance themselves from that), generally is quick to help him up after early Envy encounters (the effect of the break up on Scott is the root of his hatred of Envy). Reading all the volumes it's clear that Wallace cares for Scott a good deal, even if some advice is questionable (but hilarious).
  • Scott's relationships with his girlfriends. While they all ended in depressing ways, it was clear that Scott did truly and genuinely care for them and the vice versa with the ladies. Special mention goes to Scott and Knives. Despite the flack given in-universe (and by most of the fanbase), it's clear from the first book that Scott did genuinely like her and enjoyed being around her. He was an attentive boyfriend who listened to her about the various things she and her friends got into and was just happy being with someone in a somewhat chaste relationship. The fact she shows up in his second dream in the first book shows that he valued her and wanted her in his life. Yes, the relationship ended badly, but the relationship was not a shallow one.
  • Scott's building anger when Todd slaps Knives.

Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life

  • Scott and Ramona have such a genuinely great first date it's easy to see how they fell in love right then and there. Scott's able to be himself, they get over an inconvenience like the snow, and they're able to be intimate without it becoming sexual. Ramona's a bit more humorously flippant, but you can tell Scott's sincere when he says the date was "exactly what he needed."

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

  • There's something nice about Scott and Lucas Lee having a snack break together. They even chat a bit about Lucas' acting career. He was even going to take a dive in exchange for money, had Scott not called him a sell-out.

Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness

  • The moment in volume 3 where Scott and Envy stumble on each other alone... And Envy, who at this point is still trying to have Todd beat him and doesn't know he's cheating on her, spontaneously try to have a normal talk with Scott and patch things up. It doesn't work, as they haven't even started working through their baggage... But it's the moment they actually start doing just that.
    • Afterwards, Scott sees Knives by herself, and with some hesitation, approaches her to try and cheer her up, not just from when Envy had Lynn punch her highlights off (Which Scott notes Knives look better without) but also to apologize from how he treated her.
  • In volume 3, Ramona and Envy are having a battle, and Ramona is getting verbally beaten down by the crowd while everyone cheers on Envy. Then Wallace shows up and yells "BREAK HER FACE, RAMONA! BREAK HER HORSEY OL' FACE!" This properly surprises Envy, giving Ramona an opportunity to catch Envy off-guard with her hammer. Wallace then proceeds to be the only person to cheer Ramona on.
  • Knives leaping in to save Ramona during her fight with Envy, just so Scott can be happy.
  • Despite being at each other's throats the whole volume, when Ramona has to tell Envy about Todd's duplicity she actually sympathizes with Envy when she sees how hard she takes it. Then after Envy is blasted by Todd's vegan powers, Ramona goes to her side to check if she's OK, staying put even after Envy yells at her to leave her. To top it all off, after the battle when Scott asks if Ramona's OK, she says "I'm fine. Envy's the one who-" before being interrupted. Clearly, a rivalry with Envy doesn't stop Ramona from keeping moral standards, even toward her.

Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together

  • Scott finally telling Ramona he loves her in volume 4. And her saying she loves him too afterwards. The event gets followed by this panel, which is equal parts endearing and awesome.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe

  • In volume 5, Ramona, Scott and Kim get smashed at a party, lay around in a pile on a bed upstairs and drunkenly pal around. Then when they finally leave, Kim pulls them both into a group hug before heading home.
    Kim: I seriously wish I could...like...be you, Ramona. I mean, you're so...y'know?
    Ramona: [kisses Kim on the head]
  • During the fight between the twins and Scott in Volume 5, Kim (from her cage of captivity) pretends to have received a text of encouragement from Ramona. This gives Scott the Heroic Second Wind he needs to defeat the twins.
  • Scott apologising to Kim, basically for being himself, at the end of Volume 5. Kim's reply is a completely sincere "Apology accepted", actually smiling for a change. Even sweeter in the movie: Scott just tells her he's sorry, and she responds wordlessly with the warmest smile.

Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour

  • The ending... Ramona and Scott finally ready to stop running from their problems, literally leaping together into the future before them, hand in hand. Awwww.
  • "You'll always be my Clash at Demonhead" (Whatever that means.)
  • Envy's Heel–Face Turn and reconciliation with Scott. CLOSURE!
  • Near the beginning of Volume 6: "K-Kitty."
  • Ramona reappearing to Scott after months of absence in volume 6 and trying to apologise to him for being such a sucky girlfriend, but she can't get it out because Scott just won't stop kissing her.
    Ramona: DOWN, boy!
    Scott: Damn it, Ramona! I forgive you already!
  • Though it doesn't make Scott feel much better, there's something very sweet about Knives telling him in volume 6 that even though she's moved on, she still cares about him.
  • Young Neil finally being called just Neil in Volume 6. The bubble even says it's the happiest day of his life!
