Hiromu Arakawa's manga and TV anime:
- The end of episode 12 after Arslan came to Darun's rescue.Arslan: You are always coming to my aid, Darun. Should I come to your aid once in a while, what is wrong with that?
- Daryun pledges his Undying Loyalty to Arslan, saying he will protect him and respect him even if he isn't a prince by blood, he is loyal to Arslan as a person. Chapter 46 shows the scene and it was just as heartwarming, with Daryun holding Arlsan's hand as he sincerely reaffirmed his loyalty to Arslan.
- In Episode 17, Arslan worries the entire episode over Daryun's well-being as he is competing as a proxy in a battle to the death with a man that is more beast than human; when Daryun emerges victorious, he immediately turns to Arslan and bows to him, showing he's alright and Arslan collapses in relief.
- In chapter 23, despite trying to free the slaves from Hodir didn't work out the way Arslan had planned, he is still determined to find solutions to ending slavery and asks Elam for his advice, much to Elam's embarrassment. The rest of the group listening while pretending to sleep was an added adorable scene.
- Jaswant and Selima's farewell. Selima even tells him that he is like a brother to her. In turn, Jaswant reaffirms how grateful he is towards her and her family. All Selima asks is that when he does return to Shindra one day, he could tell her stories of the lands he has visited.
- After Estelle's group made their way to Ecbatana with little supplies remaining and were promptly chased off by every other Lusitanian soldier when asking for help, Estelle soon found out that Arslan had hidden a bag of money in the cart that would provide for their group for some time. The realization that "heathens" like Arslan treated them far more kindly than their own people sunk in as Estelle gratefully held the much-needed coins.
