This page contains unmarked spoilers. Read at your discretion.


  • The end of "His Father's Son," where Jules and his father are able to reconcile.
  • An easy to miss nod for those who'd never played Memories of Celceta, when Adol receives "the gift" and becomes a Monstrum, his hairstyle changes. However, that hairstyle in this new form is a near-match for his father's, who raised him alone after his mother passed and taught him how to become an adventurer. Made even more impactful in that Crimson King was cloned from Adol's memories, making it possibly a subconscious choice.
  • Krysha's sister, Carla, makes it clear that she loves and is proud of her sister despite the fact that she was adopted and later split away from her family to open her own shop. Carla even visits the Dandelion in chapter 7 just to catch up with her.
  • Several of the max-affinity events.
    • Yufa confides to Adol that she's afraid of telling her siblings she's adopted, only for Eudes to basically spill the beans that they've known for a long time and they'd never not think of her as their sister. Doubles as a funny moment with Eudes revealing how he found out: by reading Yufa's diary.
    • Anemona finally fulfilling her promise to Rosvita to have a tea party after the end of the war.
    • Jules following up with his quest to prepare a surprise reunion for his parents, followed by his mother telling his father that she'll continue to trust in and wait for him.
  • The souls from the memories of many of Adol's departed companions from his previous adventures (Revealed to be Feena, Reah, Eldeel, Tia, Dark Fact, and Dana) coming together to deliver the Draupnir's Egg for him to destroy in order to stop the Grimwold Nox in order to finally repay all he did for them.
    • Completing the Azure Petals sidequest shows these aren't just some artificial recreations from his memories either, as every one of these souls briefly overshadow Marguerite as a medium to speak to Adol. In short, they're the genuine articles, and they've been watching over him all this time, several even reminding him that they continue to.
