Heartwarming / The Twelve Kingdoms

• Youko's reunion with Rakushun in En.
• When Rakushun tells Youko that he believes in her and wants to see what kind of kingdom she'll make.
• When Keiki is rescued by Youko and sees the recently Heel Face Turned Yuka is with her, and Youko refers to her as "her friend". Made even cuter by Yuka's embarrassed reaction.
  • For that matter, Keiki's relief and pride at how far Youko has come since he last saw her.
• Sanshi bringing Taiki back to Mount Hou through a portal looks very much like a mother rescuing her drowning child.
• Sanshi's first appearance was this from the start to the end. One of the first things she does when she's born and then told about her duty in life is... going to the tree where Taiki's egg is, getting close to the egg, and hugging it happily while murmuring his name. So cute!
• After months of being held hostage and Shouryuu not only rescuing him, but reaffirming his commitment to make En a kingdom for everyone, Enki finally trusts Shouryuu enough to ask if Shouryuu will make a kingdom for him, too. Shouryuu immediately asks what kind of kingdom he wants.
