History Heartwarming / AkameGaKill

* Esdeath deciding to hug Seryu when the latter is grieving over Stylish's death. It's our first hint that she has a HiddenHeartOfGold after all. [[spoiler: Subverted in the manga version, where Esdeath is just a pure sociopath and later shows that she didn't care about Seryu at all.]]
* In Chapter 14 [[spoiler:even though Bulat is dying, he is proud of how much power Tatsumi is capable of using his former Teigu and dies happily knowing Tatsumi will be a worthy successor.]]

** Mirrored later with [[spoiler:Kurome tending to Wave's injuries following his fight with Shura, the smile on her face with him says how far she has grown to him.]]

* It's easy to forget that Esdeath is a sadistic BloodKnight when she and Tatsumi are marooned on a deserted island. She becomes very sweet and kind, and they work together to hunt for food and survive. [[spoiler: She also takes the first opportunity she gets to snatch another kiss from Tatsumi.]]
* When Bors comes across a girl who'd been injured in the crossfire of his battle with Night Raid and kindly offers to treat her wounds. [[spoiler: Granted, it ends up being Chelsea who uses the opportunity to kill him, but still.]]
* Chapter 38 [[spoiler:Mine managing to defeat Seryu which allowed her to avenge Sheele's death as well as the desecration of Chelsea's body. As Mine was fighting Seryu, Mine's memories of Sheele and Chelsea kept her motivated to keep fighting.]]
** [[spoiler: Also, despite her vengeful feelings, Mine ''tries'' to get through to Seryu and get her to see reason before the fight, willing to avoid it if she can since Seryu is not a target. Unfortunately, Seryu is too far gone mentally to listen.]]
* Chapter 38 Tatsumi rescuing [[spoiler:Mine]] after her duel with [[spoiler:Seryu]].
-->'''Tatsumi:''' I was too weak for [[spoiler:Bro]], and I was too late for [[spoiler:Chelsea]], but this time, [[EverybodyLives I won't let anybody die]]!

* Chapter 49 Lubbock [[spoiler:coming to Tatsumi and Mine for love advice regarding his feeling for Najenda. Najenda overhears Lubbock and she thinks to herself that while she would not want to get into a relationship before the revolution is over, she might be interested afterwards.]]
* Chapter 50 [[spoiler:Mine training with Akame, so she can be ready to help her boyfriend, Tatsumi, fight against Esdeath. The moment Tatsumi and Mine share during this chapter ends with the two of them kissing and Tatsumi admitting to himself that he is falling in love with her.]]
** Kurome and Wave, [[spoiler:the former is just unable to hide her feelings for the other...pity the other is just ObliviousToLove.]]
* Chapter 53 [[spoiler:Mine openly challenges Esdeath and General Budo to rescue her boyfriend Tatsumi from his public execution, the fact that she's not afraid of provoking Esdeath is nothing short of admirable.]]
-->'''Tatsumi''':[[spoiler:What a girl...you're more than I deserve.]]

* Chapter 54 Tatsumi manages to [[spoiler:make Incursio evolve once more out of his determination of protecting his girlfriend]].
-->'''Tatsumi''':I don't care how agonizing it'll be or how much pain I'll feel, give me all the strength you can give me, because of me [[spoiler: Lubo is death, I can't let Mine die because of me too!]]
* Chapter 57 Wave and Kurome has a rather cute scene together when they are talking about Esdeath's wish to fight Tatsumi and the future of the Empire. Wave spent his time during the conversation studying to understand the politics of the Empire in hopes to change the Empire from the within, [[spoiler: and to honor the dream's of his fallen comrades, like Bols and Run]]. Kurome happily encourages Wave and believe that they will succeed.

* Chapter 62 & 63 just keep it coming with heartwarming moments between Wave and Kurome. [[spoiler:When Akame reveals that she knows about a secret spring that might be able to extend Kurome's lifespan long enough to find a way to break her addiction to her PsychoSerum]], Wave declares he'll [[spoiler:beat the entire rebel army and take her there himself]]. He also makes it clear he's willing to go to any lengths to try and keep Kurome and Akame from fighting and killing each other [[spoiler:including trying to master ''two'' Teigu to get even stronger]]. Even Esdeath is impressed on some level and agrees to help him.

* Chapter 66: [[spoiler: Wave manages to stop Akame & Kurome from killing each other and convince the latter to seek help for her drug addiction. The clincher is when he picks her up BridalCarry style and returns the kiss she gave him in the previous chapter. There's also the reconciliation of the sisters and Akame looks genuinely relieved that she won't have to kill her sister and that she has someone to take care of her.]] [[SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel Its positively cavity-inducing,]] especially given how grim and violent the manga usually is.
* Chapter 67: The remaining members of Night Raid reminiscing over their comrades who couldn't make it to the final battle. It was very pleasing to see that [[spoiler: long dead characters including fan favorites]] got a mention before the final battle and Night Raid resolves to make sure that their losses wouldn't be in vain. Similarly, Esdeath being reminded of the good times she had with The Jaegers accompanied by a group shot of with all The Jaegers together. Even though she is a sadistic SocialDarwinist, she still valued the time she had with her subordinates and does deeply miss them.
* In the last episode of ''Akame ga Kill! Theater!'' we actually get to see the members of Night Raid and The Jaegers interacting with each other on friendly terms. Notable examples include Akame, Kurome, and Chelsea dining together, Najenda and Esdeath sharing drinks with each other, and Leone and Run chatting at a bar. However special mention goes to the final scene where we find out that [[spoiler: Tatsumi and Mine reunited in the afterlife and spend their time watching over everyone else.]]
* If there's any doubt that Night Raid changed the world for the better in the anime, we get a brief shot of three oddly detailed extras watching the parade after the revolution. [[spoiler:These three country girls were the stars of the manga's bonus Chapter 23.5, where they were tortured, mutilated, raped, and eventually murdered or driven to suicide before Night Raid killed those responsible. A trick of fate in the anime had them arriving in the capital after Night Raid's attack, leaving them to actually have a chance to live their lives in a better world.]]
* Chapter 78: At the end of the series, [[spoiler:Mine awakens from her coma, and she finds out Tatsumi has been transformed into a dragon. Despite his transformation, she is happy to be with him. Afterwards, they are able to [[BabiesEverAfter have children]] and start a family of their own. [[note]] They had sex before Tatsumi was transformed. [[/note]]]]

** Meanwhile Wave and Kurome has Wave caring for her until he notices her body is breaking down harder now, Kurome can not think of anything else other than taking on her sister regardless of this, leaving Wave to outright BEG her not to go on this mission, and that he'll do anything to save her. When she refuses and tries to walk out, Wave blocks her, leading to Kurome leaning forward to kiss him....only to punch and wind him enough for her to get past, stating he should not stop her if he is her comrade. Upon leaving however...she dwells on the kiss. This also doubles as a [[TearJerker/AkameGaKill tearjerker]]

** At the end of their conversation, Kurome decides to take a nap in Wave's room. When Kurome comments that Wave's room reeks and of the ocean (Wave's scent), Wave comedically mistook the comment as an insult and point out that Kurome could just sleep in her own room. Kurome's response is that she will just deal with it, all the while hugging Wave's pillow.

-->'''Tatsumi''':I don't care how agonizing it'll be or how much pain I'll feel, give me all the strength you can give me, because of me [[spoiler: Lubo is death, I can't let Mine die because of me too!]]

* Initially, Tatsumi doesn't want to join Night Raid. Leone ignores him and has Bulat haul him off of his feet and to their base.
* The first meeting of the group that will be later known as the Jaegars.
** It starts with the introduction of Wave, walking to the Imperial HQ carrying a sack of fresh fish from his home town as gifts. He thinks himself fitting in fine in the big city, but notes that people are looking at him funny, unaware (or perhaps just doesn't care) that people are noting that he's obviously from the country.
** He then enters the designated meeting room for his new team in the imperial palace, but not before remembering his father's advice to give a strong first impression. As soon as he enters, he sees a shirtless burly masked man staring at him, and quickly shuts the door in fear, noting that it must be the torture's room. He then looks at his memo and looks up, finding that the room ''is'' the designated meeting room. He reluctantly goes back in and after a few moments, is visibly unnerved by how the masked man is staring at him.
** Several people then start entering the room: (in order) a cute but silent girl who doesn't want to share the cookies she's eating, a lively girl with metal arms and her dog, and a definitely gay guy who compliments Wave's good looks. Wave thinks all of them are weirdos.
** The last person to enter introduces himself in a normal way, causing wave joy for ''finally'' meet a relatively normal person. Also, the masked guy finally decided to speak up confessing that he was just shy.
* Esdeath and her interactions with Tatsumi are a ''gold mine'' for laughs.
** When they first meet, she offers him a reward for having won the fighting tournament. Tatsumi thinks it's a cash prize, and although he doesn't like accepting money from the enemy, he's ready to do so and walk off. Only the "reward" is belonging to her. She slaps a collar around his neck and basically kidnaps him with the entire stunned crowd watching.
** When in the palace, she casually introduces him to her subordinates. Only Tatsumi is chained to a chair by his collar, clearly unhappy. She thinks it's normal because she wants Tatsumi to stand out as her lover. After Wave explains that the collar isn't the best of ideas, Esdeath asks who among the Jaegers has a lover. [[TheBigGuy Bols]] is the one who raises his hand. He's been married for six years.
*** She then asks him for advice about how to win Tatsumi's heart, to which Bols' reply was persistence, citing himself as an example[[note]]he got rejected twice[[/note]]. Esdeath is then seen taking notes.
** When they are teleported to a faraway island Tatsumi asks her to hit him without leaving a serious wound in order to see if the island is an illusion. Esdeath's reaction is to blush and state that she wasn't aware that Tatsumi also had such interests.
*** Also on the island, when Esdeath tells Tatsumi that they have to spend the night together, she says "It's your destiny, so you choose." The scene pans behind them, and then there appears a [[PaintingTheFourthWall dialog box like you would see in a dating sim]], with three choices [[ButThouMust that all involve Tatsumi wanting to stay with Esdeath]]. Better yet, when the box appears, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Tatsumi looks over his shoulder, and is troubled by his lack of options]].
* Oh, Susanoo
-->'''Boss:''' The Revolutionary Army let me use him because I'm the first person he's ever responded to.
-->''[[{{Beat}} (beat)]]''
-->'''Susanoo:''' She resembles my old master. He was a great man.
-->'''Tatsumi:''' ''[[LadyLooksLikeADude MAN?!]]''
** Leone and Tatsumi start laughing, and then get his by the Boss in retribution.
* The reasons that Sheele doesn't have a job at the base;
** When she tried to cook it was so bad that the normally cool-headed chef Akame got annoyed.
** When she tried to clean she ended up making an even bigger mess for Bulat to clean up.
** When she tried to shop she mistook sugar for salt and Leone couldn't stop laughing about it.
** And finally when she tried to do laundry she washed Mien's clothes... she was still in them at the time. Almost as funny: Tatsumi doesn't really mind that last one.
* Leone and Akame help Lubbock and Tatsumi train by sitting on their backs. When Mine comments on this, Lubbock says he needs to step up his game, [[spoiler: since Bulat's gone.]]. Leone comments he needs to work harder since he had done only half as many pushups as Tatsumi. Akame comments that would be impossible since Leone is heavier than her. Mien, Lubbock, and Tatsumi look horrified. In the next scene, Akame has a [[CranialEruption lump on her head.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8S_nauWRVE Behold]] the Theatre. Even crazy killers can be adorable.
* Tatsumi tries to play a prank on Chelsea while she's taking a bath, but she turns into Susanoo, then threatens to castrate him if he ever tries to peep on her again.
* In Episode 13:
** Wave's shock as Bols [[SickeningSweethearts interacts]] with his family. Kurome calmly pats him on the shoulder.
** Tatsumi makes a dramatic speech, [[FailedAttemptAtDrama only]] for it to be pointed out by [[MomentKiller Su]] that his fly is down. Everyone minus the chief makes fun of him.
** Tatsumi's horror at his [[SarcasmMode wonderful]] reunion with Esdeath.
