* LastMomentTogether: All three members of the PowerTrio have flashbacks to their last moments with a parental figure.
** For Mai, it was her mother on her deathbed, telling Mai to be sure to take care of Takumi, which is why Mai tends to take on all the troubles of the world on her shoulders.
** For Natsuki, it is the memory of her mother trying to get her away from District One so she can be safe, right before the car crash that claimed her life. This fuels her vengence against District One, until John Smith [[BrokenPedestal says that Saeko Kuga was trying to sell Natsuki to the Searrs Foundation]], resulting in a PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage.
** Mikoto remembers being forced to kill her Grandfather in armed combat as proof that she was ready for her to be a [=HiME=], and him telling her to now seek out her long lost brother.

* PrayerIsALastResort: "Cake Wars" has Sister Yukariko trying to assist [[DividedIntoDisaster the team of Natsuki, Nao, and Mikoto]] in baking a cake. Natsuki and Nao both prove incapable of even cracking an egg correctly, and nearly come to blows. Mikoto, however, cracks eggs quite handily...into every available dish. Upon seeing this, Sister Yukariko suggests to [[KnightInSourArmor Natsuki]] and [[FemmeFatale Nao]] that they pray. The two of them take her up on the suggestion. Until Natsuki has to put Mikoto in a restraining hold to keep her from cracking any more eggs, that is.

* FiveSecondRule: After Mikoto tries to catch an [[{{Mons}} Orphan]] that had taken a bite of the cake she and her team had made, and she causes Haruka to drop her own cake on the ground, Shizuru Fujino, of all people, President of the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil (and noted as TheGadfly), actually says, "You can still eat it if you pick it up within five seconds." They do pick it up and serve it to the cooking contest judges. Between the cake that the Orphan bit out of, the floor cake, and a third cake that Shiho had faceplanted in, it comes as no surprise when all the judges (every named male character in series) is taken to the hospital with food poisoning.

But the rules of the [=HiME=] Festival are that ThereCanBeOnlyOne or the [=HiME=] Star will [[ColonyDrop crash to Earth and wipe out everything.]] Natsuki can't win, as she is Shizuru's most precious person, and Shizuru is hers. She decides Mai should be the one to confront the [[BigBad Obsidian Prince]], and goes off to face Shizuru, and in a move that surprises Shizuru, offers {{Forgiveness}} for [[AmbiguousSituation whatever]] passed between them [[DudeShesLikeInAComa when Natsuki was sleeping and in Shizuru's care]]. Natsuki embraces Shizuru while destroying her [[{{Mons}} CHILD]], ensuring they're TogetherInDeath. [[spoiler:They get better]].

* NowAllowedToHug: Natsuki has a dislike of being touched, though not as pronounced as most examples. But after the [=HiME=] Festival is over, she is on the receiving end of TheGlomp from [[LoveInterest Shizuru]] during Mai's karaoke celebration. She's initially startled, but subsequent shots show Shizuru with her arm around Natsuki's shoulder, and Natsuki being alright with it.

* CracksInTheIcyFacade: Natsuki starts out the series perfectly willing to use lethal force against anyone who gets in the way of her campaign against District One. Her first indicator that she could thaw varies. In publication order, starting with giving Mai a ride on her motorcycle to look for her missing brother after [[TheDragon Nagi]] reveals that Orphans are chasing him, and during the PantyThief episode, Natsuki decides that [[YouMustBeCold a sleeping Mai looks cold and drapes a coat over her]]. If you include the prequel novel ''Natsuki no Prelude'', then chronologically it was offering to retrieve Akane's notes for her, telling her classmate ThinkNothingOfIt.
