* Chapter 113: The entirety of the Organization's warriors finding themselves unable to strike down an enemy [[spoiler:who went out of her way to take them down without killing or seriously damaging ''even a single one'' earlier--namely, Miria]].
* Episode 4 of the anime: Clare [[FateWorseThanDeath partially awakens]] to defeat the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Voracious Eater]], and begs Galk to kill her in order to prevent her becoming a monster. [[spoiler: Raki refuses to let that happen unless [[TogetherInDeath he dies too]], and hearing that pulls Clare back from the brink.]]
* Chapter 118 brings us a nice one. [[spoiler: Raftela, who has been impaled multiple times, is using her ability to try and help some other characters, who she doesn't know, fight. When Raki tells her she's risking her life by doing this and not healing her wounds, she makes a speech about how no matter how isolated they are, Claymores will try to form bonds with one another to be more human. Cue the young trainees with Raki embracing her so she won't have to support herself, in a perfect YouAreNotAlone moment, and a BadassBoast from Raki.]]

* [[spoiler:Clarice's death in chapter 142. She finally manages to be something special and tells her daughter-figure Miata that she loves her before she crumbles to dust.]]
* It may change after we get the context for it but the implication behind the end of chapter 149:[[spoiler:[[SparingTheAces TERESA'S OKAY!]]]]...kinda!
** The reveal makes it even better[[spoiler: : Teresa lives on in the body of Clare in a manner similar to the Tok'Ra of Franchise/{{Stargate}} fame and can emerge instead of Clare awakening via a Soul Link variant. It seems completely impossible for them to be separated ever again.]]

* After being fatally wounded by Priscilla, [[spoiler:Tabitha implores Cynthia and Uma to give up on trying to put her back together and instead focus on reattaching her arm. Tabitha asks Miria to hold her hand at the end, and reaches up... and lightly punches a startled Miria in the chin. Smiling, she tells Miria that Deneve told her to give Miria a punch when they met up again for leaving them all behind, and that it was her greatest honour to serve under Miria's leadership]].
* [[spoiler:Teresa]]'s fight with [[spoiler:Cassandra]]. [[spoiler:Teresa compliments Cassandra's fighting style, which Cassandra had always been ashamed of, and Cassandra asks Teresa to kill her so she can die in peace]]. It's followed by this:
-->[[spoiler:'''Teresa: ''' What? Are you done already? You can still go at it, right?]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Cassandra:''' No, that's enough. I'm satisfied. To use all of my techniques to the utmost, and fight with all of my power... I didn't think it would be so much fun. If I were to be born again, I'd like the next time to be a time when you're there.]]

-->[[spoiler:'''Cassandra:''' It's fine. Even if so. No... ''[thinks of her deceased friend]'' Actually... it would be better that way.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Teresa:''' [[ItHasBeenAnHonor Thank you for fighting with me]]. [[MercyKill It was fun]], [[DyingAsYourself Cassandra]].]]
* [[spoiler:Everything about Teresa's return in regard to Clare and the rest of the Seven Ghosts. From her explanation to Yuma, Cynthia, Helen, Deneve, and Miria of how much each of them means to Clare and how much Clare needs their support and love, to this part, which makes it so very clear that regardless of the lack of blood relation, Teresa is nothing less to Clare than a mother:]]

* Chapter 153: [[spoiler:Teresa awakens.

* As explained [[http://fuckyeahclaymore.tumblr.com/post/97086975618/the-concept-of-love-social-connections-and-yagis here]][[labelnote:WARNING]]Spoilers for the entire series.[[/labelnote]], the fact despite the darkness of the series, the true theme of ''Claymore'' is love, and that calling [[spoiler:the final battle]] simply a case of ThePowerOfLove over ThePowerOfHate is a disservice to what the mangaka has portrayed over the course of the story.
-->"The criticism that this is ''just'' [[spoiler:a battle between]] love and hate is hackneyed at best. Yagi has developed layers as to what love and hate are, where they come from, and the strength and weaknesses of both. ... To be human is to connect with other humans. It's to love others and have them love you. It's to have what we would call a family even when there is no blood relation. ...
