History Heartwarming / DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony

* In a similar manner, Shuichi and Miu's dynamic throughout their Free Time Events. Miu takes Shuichi to her lab and shows him some of her inventions, [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex and then wavers when she gets the impression that he does not like them]]. Shuichi assures her that he finds her inventions incredible (it's just that a lot of them are too bizarre to be practical). With that, [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Miu begins to warm up to Shuichi and promises to treat him "real good"]] from there, albeit in her... unique way. Eventually, Miu goes through a wild LoveEpiphany and falls in love with Shuichi ''after he stops her from disemboweling herself in an attempt to prove that she is an augmented human'' and goes to check on her afterward. She then [[SweetBaker bakes him a pie and mentions making cookies and chocolates for him]] (although she added some "[[{{Yandere}} hidden ingredients]]"), grants Shuichi the right to date her by giving him her panties, and then arranges a date in the event that they escape from the academy. Shuichi accepts this with a grimace, but at the same time, he is glad that he has managed to form such a connection with Miu.

** In general, if he makes [[https://danganronpa.wikia.com/wiki/File:Danganronpa_V3_Kokichi_Oma_Halfbody_Sprite_(39).png this face]], you can be sure that he's at his most honest. Things like calling Kaede "[[ItHasBeenAnHonor not boring]]" and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone finding out that Gonta forgets about their plan and the logical conclusion he has to take later]] are small glimpses of this [[BeneathTheMask self-proclaimed liar]].

** Maki tells Shuichi that she assassinates people because of problems that get so complicated they can only be settled by murder, so she tells him to resolve them as soon as possible. Shuichi accepts and vows to do so so that Maki won't be the Ultimate Assassin anymore, and Maki replies that she will find another job just in case it happens, even considering becoming the Ultimate Child Caregiver for real.

* [[https://youtu.be/Vxu4pbScEnU?t=199 The conversation between Shuichi and Kyoko]] has Kyoko give Shuichi an uplifting speech and encourage him to be proud of his title of Ultimate Detective.

** Korekiyo offers Shuichi to travel around to witness the beauty of humanity, and thanks him for being his friend (although he does say he wants Shuichi to [[DeadlyEuphemism meet his sister and be friends with her]]...)
** Maki tells Shuichi that she assassinates people because of problems that get so complicated they can only be settled by murder, so she tells him to resolve them before these complications occur. Shuichi goes further and vows to resolve those problems so that Maki won't be the Ultimate Assassin anymore. Maki replies that she will find another job just in case it does happen, even considering becoming the Ultimate Child Caregiver for real.

** Tenko, having realized that her master is male, concludes that Neo-Aikido could change boys for the better and gives Shuichi the option to master Neo-Aikido. If that is too tough, she also suggests a sex change, which she prefers.

** Kaede wants Shuichi to come over to her house and practice the piano duet. She also offers to teach him about the piano.

** Maki tells Shuichi to resolve problems before they get so complicated that they can only be resolved by assassination. Shuichi goes further and vows to make it so she won't have to be the Ultimate Assassin anymore. Maki says that she will find another job just in case it does happen, even considering becoming the Ultimate Child Caregiver for real.
** Miu says she wants to be with Shuichi forever; she won't be satisfied no matter how many dates they go on and there are so many places she wants to go with him.

* Despite Miu's abrasive personality, Kaede jumps to her's defence in the first trial when everybody starts ganging up on her because she's the one who made the cameras for Kaede and Shuichi's trap.

* Even after Kaito and Kokichi refute Kirumi's TheNeedsOfTheMany utilitarianism, before anyone can get mad at her, Kaito sticks up for her and urges her to run away.

* Though his behavior afterwards is [[BrokenBase somewhat divisive]], Kaito leaping to Gonta's defence and willing to get into an Argument Armament with '''Shuichi''' is sweet.

** If Shuichi meets up with Ki-Bo after Miu performed maintenance on him, Ki-Bo happily wants to show Shuichi his "improved performance" even though Shuichi doesn't notice a difference.
** Ki-Bo and Miu excitement in showing off Ki-Bo's flashlight that Miu installed to the other student during the investigation in Chapter 3.
** When Ki-Bo's Ultimate Research Lab opened up, Miu was very excited to give Ki-Bo more upgrades, saying he would look so pretty with them and that she wants him to make lots of cute noises. Ki-Bo responds by blushing and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything tell her not to mention that in front of Shuichi]].

** It's worth mention Ki-Bo is one of the few students that Miu doesn't give a derogatory nickname. Also, Miu is one of the very few students that Ki-Bo never accused of being a robophobic, and was surprisingly willing to let her remark in the 3rd trial of him technically not counting as "people" slide, a courtesy rarely gave to the other students like Kaede or Shuichi when they are InnocentlyInsensitive. Then again, he may be somewhat aware of the fact that Miu is {{Robosexual}}.

* Despite her abrasive personality, Kaede jumps to Miu's defence in the first trial when everybody starts ganging up on her because she's the one who made the cameras for Kaede and Shuichi's trap.

** Keebo is afraid his modifications to his backstory settings will turn him into a different person and cause him and Shuichi to grow apart. Shuichi assures him it will go well and he will still want to be friends with him if it doesn't.
** Kaede wants Shuichi to come over to her house and practice the piano duet and offers to teach him about the piano.

** Korekiyo offers Shuichi to travel around to witness the beauty of humanity, and thanks him for being his friend (although he does say he wants Shuichi to meet his sister and be friends with her...)
** Maki tells Shuichi that her targets are assassinated because of problems that get so complicated they can only be resolved by murder, so he should solve those problems before such complications occur. Shuichi goes further and vows to make it so she won't have to be the Ultimate Assassin anymore. Maki says that she will find another job just in case it does happen, even considering becoming the Ultimate Child Caregiver for real.

** Rantaro, who has finally remembered that he is the Ultimate Adventurer, tells Shuichi that he's only the one who understood how he felt about looking for his family; that is why he wants Shuichi to accompany him in his search.

** Tenko, having realised that her master is male, concludes that Neo-Aikido could change boys for the better, and she gives Shuichi the option to master Neo-Aikido. If that is too tough, she also suggests a sex change, which she prefers.
** Tsumugi gets Shuichi into cosplay and will get him to cosplay as his childhood hero, Kanata the White (also the first cosplay outfit Tsumugi ever made). She says that looks forward to working with Shuichi in cosplaying (though he notices her façade slip for a split second...)

** Sure, Miu may have ruined it with a BabyTrap plan and general BlackComedy shenanigans at the end, but she can be quite adorable when she shows her real self. Her ideal is a childhood friend who sees past her act and has been by her side all this time. Because of this, Miu shyly gives Shuichi permission to have his way with her as a way of thanking him. It also doubles as a TearJerker since, if her FriendlessBackground is taken into consideration, it shows that Miu is actually very lonely, and she clearly wants someone to be by her side at all times.

** Kaede wants Shuichi to come over to her house and practice the piano duet. She then offers to teach Shuichi about the piano.

** Kaito says that he practised good communication in the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles, saying that it is essential to being an astronaut. He and Shuichi acknowledge that their time there helped them hone their talents, and Kaito says glad he met him. When he asks Shuichi if he'll always be his sidekick, Shuichi says yes.

** Korekiyo offers Shuichi to travel around to witness the beauty of humanity. He also thanks Shuichi for being his friend (although he does say he wants Shuichi to meet his sister and be friends with her...)
** Maki makes Shuichi promise to fix problems before assassinations can occur so she won't have to be the Ultimate Assassin anymore. In the meantime, she will find another job, at one point saying she will try to become the Ultimate Child Caregiver for real.
** Miu says she wants to be with Shuichi forever; she won't be satisfied no matter how many dates she and Shuichi go on and there are so many places she wants to go with him.

** Rantaro, who has finally remembered that he is the Ultimate Adventurer, tells Shuichi that he's only the one who understood how he felt about looking for his family; that is why he wants Shuichi to accompany him in their search for Rantaro's sisters.

** Shuichi admits that Kokichi's lies entertained him. Kokichi then advises him to stay by his side in order to learn more about him and see what he really is like.
** Korekiyo offers Shuichi to travel around to witness the beauty of humanity. He thanks Shuichi for being his friend (although he does say he wants Shuichi to meet his sister and be friends with her...)

** Tenko, having realised that her master is male, concludes that Neo-Aikido could change boys for the better, and she gives Shuichi the option to master Neo-Aikido. If that is too tough, she also offers a sex change, which she prefers.

** Keebo is afraid his modifications to his backstory settings will turn him into a different person and cause him and Shuichi to grow apart. Shuichi assures him it will go well and they'll still be friends if it doesn't.

** Shuichi promises to see Himiko and her master perform when they reunite. Himiko then tells Shuichi he's the only one who understands her magic and tells him that he expects to see her in the show.

** Also crossing into TearJerker territory, Shuichi visiting Kaede's lab after her execution.

** Kaede and Miu's dynamic in general, since Kaede [[AllLovingHero has endless compassion and patience]] for Miu in spite of what a {{Jerkass}} she is toward her, which causes Miu to develop clear {{Tsundere}} affection for Kaede in turn, to the point were she too is devastated at Kaede's execution.
* Kokichi's reaction to Kaede's execution was crying over her death. It's unknown if they are genuine or if it's actually plain CrocodileTears, but Kokichi at least had a certain fondness to the pianist.

* A Pre-CharacterDevelopment Himiko agreeing to put on a magic show to cheer everyone up after the first trial.

** Although, [[HarsherInHindsight Harsher in Hindsight]] when it's revealed that Tsumugi (who is revealed to be the mastermind of the killing game that killed Rantaro, framed and executed Kaede, and drove Maki to kill Kokichi, her intended victim during Chapter 5 due to the Flashback Light implanting memories that portrayed Kokichi as a Remnant of Despair) actually ''gave'' him his illness as a part of his character. Technically, Kaito ''was'' spared a brutal execution dished out by Monokuma, but he sure as hell ''wasn't'' spared a slow and painful death gift-wrapped by Tsumugi, whom as the mastermind and a producer and/or writer for Team Danganronpa, holds a power '''''even higher than that of Monokuma.'''''
* When Kaito's rocket crashes back to the school, Ki-Bo ''immediately'' leaps in front of his friends to protect them from the falling rubble.

** If Shuichi meets up with Ki-Bo after Miu preformed maintenance on him, Ki-Bo happily wants to show Shuichi his "improved performance" even though Shuichi doesn't notice a difference.

** When Ki-Bo's Ultimate Research Lab opened up, Miu was very excited give Ki-Bo more upgrades, saying he would look so pretty with them and that she wants him to make lots of cute noises. Ki-Bo responds by blushing and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything tell her not to mention that in front of Shuichi]].
** Double as TearJerker. After Miu's death, Ki-Bo still speak fondly of her despite knowing about her attempt to murder Kokichi and escape, showing that he has forgiven Miu for her actions and clearly misses her. He wistfully talks to Shuichi about how genuine Miu was with machines, and that she had natural innocence she hid deep inside her. This possibly indicated that Miu showed her true self more openly in Ki-Bo's company.

** In Chapter 3, Himiko finally decides to wholly accept Tenko's sentiment and forms a bond between them both. Just before Tenko's unanticipated demise, Tenko gives Himiko a word of emotional advice by telling her she should not be afraid to express herself. Himiko's passive response to this action is "I think you've trained too much," and Tenko laughs ecsatically in response to this, saying "Hahaha, I probably have." In response to Tenko's demise after this moment, Himiko suppresses herself continuously after, presenting an internal moment of [[GoMadFromTheRevelation going mad from the revelation that Tenko is dead.]]

--->'''Ryoma:''' I won’t let it end so easily. During the three years we spent in this academy… [[WorthLivingFor I found something I don't want to let go of. Something I thought I'd never find again]]... And your pictures... have captured [[TrueCompanions their]] smiles so clearly. These pictures will always remind me that the time I spent here was worth every second.
* Let's not forget the final Christmas scene between Ryoma and Fuyuhiko. Though Fuyuhiko didn't have the chance to talk to Ryoma the last three years, but he still offers the Tennis Player to come talk to him if he has nowhere else to go after graduation, because looking out for guys like Ryoma is his specialty.
* [[https://twitter.com/JaviSS4/status/918405368614498305 Mikan and Tenko]] is one of the most uplifting things you will see. Tenko, kind she is to fellow women, tells Mikan that she is wonderful and thanks her for her help in the heath committee, and Mikan, who has only known abuse and torment from everyone she's known, is so floored by her kindness, that she nearly breaks into tears.

* An easy to miss example, but at one point, [[TheMedic Mikan]] and [[TeamDad the Ultimate Imposter]] kindly but firmly talk Hifumi into taking better care of himself after he starts showing signs of burnout due to working himself into exhaustion from his doujin writing. When asked how they knew what to say, they reveal that it's because they have a friend who often deals with similar problems--it's clear that the friend they're referring to is [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool Ryota Mitarai]].

** Tsumugi says she looks forward to working with Shuichi in cosplaying (though he notices her façade slip for a split second...)

** Tenko's Love Suite Event is a surprisingly pleasant one, given her [[DoesNotLikeMen misandry]]. Here, she sees Shuichi as a fellow practitioner of Neo-Aikido who has defeated her in a sparring match, and plainly tells him that he could do whatever he wants to her as a result. She eventually admits that she challenged him to the sparring match because she is in love with him, suggesting that at the very least, [[IfItsYouItsOkay she is willing to tolerate boys who take up Neo-Aikido]], if not that her romantic attraction to boys is heavily repressed.
