History Heartwarming / DigimonTamers

** The there's the end credits, with Rika re-joining the party followed by a montage of the Tamers and their partners. Takato and Guilmon selling Guilmonbread wiht the boy's parents looking on proudly, the entire Wong family watching Suzie play with Terriermon and Lopmon, Kazumon, Kenta and their partners hanging out with some classmates, Jeri enjoying time with her family with her dad actually smiling plus its implied Calumon has become her unofficial partner and finally the Nonaka family including Renamon out for a walk.

* "Runaway Locomon" itself has a couple:

* Rika and Renamon's first Biomerge, especially the buildup to it. The total devotion the pair of them have towards each other at that point is just overwhelming. Renamon tries to make Rika turn back because she doesn't want her to die, but Rika won't leave her side because she wants to protect her partner.

* Guilmon forever calling Takato ''"Takatomon"''. To the purehearted Digimon, there's no distinction between Humans and Digimon and sees them as equals and friends. Guilmon doesn't see himself as a miserable slave, or his tamer as a cruel master, a mindset that plagues Zhuqiaomon, who has come to believe that humans not only have abandoned and forsaken digimon for fend for themselves, but also tries to exterminate them through the useage of Shaggai as well through the D-Reaper.

** Also worth noting a moment in episode 10. When [[TheSocialDarwinist IceDevimon]] is about to kill Kyuubimon, Rika intervenes to stop him to which he [[EvilCannotComprehendGood berates her for not rejecting her injured "inferior" partner]]. Rika, who keep in mind up to this point was still very much [[BloodKnight of the opinion that power was the only thing that mattered in the world]], retorts to [[TheSociopath him]] "Because She is my friend, YouMonster!"
* What about when Impmon tears himself away from his Tamers (who can finally share him and treat him as a friend) to go rescue the others, and Mako gives him a toy gun "So you can go blast the bad guys" (the kid's like, 4). It then turns into a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome when, while running in the direction of the battle, Impmon digivolves into Beelzemon, looks at the toy gun and it turns into a functioning [[ArmCannon arm-mounted]] '''{{BFG}}'''. There are fucking ''reasons'' why Beelzemon is this troper's favorite character from that series.

* Everyone's reactions to Beelzemon's supposed death -- Henry and Terriermon are completely shocked, Renamon quietly mourns him and calls him "a true friend", and Takato gets as angry as he did when [[spoiler: Leomon was killed]]. Keep in mind, it's only been a little while since Beelzemon was trying to kill ''them''.

* All the kids [[spoiler: reuniting with their families when they finally make it home from the digital world]]. It's done entirely without any sound and, for the most part, no animation, but it honestly doesn't need either.

** Beelzemon ascending to Blast Mode is equal parts [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] and heartwarming: It happens after he reunites with Ai and Mako, despite the fact that at this point ''they aren't even officially partnered with him yet''. His eyes change from blood red to green and he sprouts a pair of wings. It should be noted that Ai's name means love... love ''literally'' gives Beelzemon wings. Plus, Blast Mode is specifically described to be achieved when a Beelzemon digivolves without wickedness in their heart, signifying he really has changed for the better.

* What about when Impmon tears himself away from his Tamers (who can finally share him and treat him as a friend) to go rescue the others, and Makoto gives him a toy gun "So you can go blast the bad guys" (the kid's like, 4).

There are fucking ''reasons'' why Beelzemon is this troper's favorite character from that series.

* The fact that "Runaway Locomon" takes place after the series and shows that the kids and there Digimon are reunited. This is infact ''so'' heartwarming that the show's creators prefer to consider it canon.

* Grani's sacrifice is a TearJerker to be sure, but it's also heartwarming to hear his final words to Takato and Guilmon, reassuring them this is what he wants, for they are his friends.
--> '''Grani''': Do you want to fly? I will give you my wings.
--> '''Guilmon:''' Wings? I can fly?
--> (Grani appears)
--> '''Gallantmon:''' Grani!
--> '''Grani:''' I can no longer move on my own, but I can give you the strength remains within me. You can have my wings, Gallantmon.
--> '''Takato:''' Grani, you really are a Digimon, aren't you?
--> '''Guilmon:''' Grani, are you sure?
--> '''Grani:''' Yes, I am very sure, you are my friends, you talk to me. This is my gift to you.
--> '''Takato:''' GRANI!
--> '''Gallantmon:''' A PART OF YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US, GRANI!
** Cue transformation to Crimson Mode and a Final Justice to the face for the D-Reaper!

* In the beginning of episode 9, Takato is utterly afraid of Growlmon from seeing him fight Devidramon. Then you see tears from Growlmon crying out to Takato not to be afraid. At that moment Takato realizes Growlmon is no different from Guilmon.
** Guilmon gives Takato a reminder of this in episode 13 after their encounter with Yamaki left Takato unnerved about having him Digivolve further. Tamer and viewers alike are heartwarmingly surprised at how much this Digimon has grown mentally in the span of an arc.
--->'''Guilmon:''' I wouldn't forget you, you're my friend! Takato, no matter how much you change, you're still you. And no matter how much I change, I hope you know I'm still me too, 'kay?
* Takato and [=WarGrowlmon=] at the end of episode 14 after beating Mihiramon.
--> '''[=WarGrowlmon=]:''' Takatomon... you are worthy Tamer. Thank you, for fighting by my side.
--> '''Takato:''' I didn't do anything, but trust you, and myself, I guess. (They both begin tearing up) Looks like we're gonna need a lot more peanut butter.
** What is special is that Takato is hugging [=WarGrowlmon=]. While he is tiny, the affection behind the hug transcends size, allowing the hug to be as big as [=WarGrowlmon=] himself.

* All the kids [[spoiler:reuniting with their families when they finally make it home from the digital world]]. It's done entirely without any sound and, for the most part, no animation, but it honestly doesn't need either.
* In the end, while Gallantmon Crimson Mode is what tore through the enemy forces, Takato was the one who rescued Jeri. The interaction the two have after she's rescued is just adorable.
* There's also the scene with Suzie meeting Antylamon for the first time and in turn, Antylamon spends a good amount of time playing babysitter to Suzie. The whole scene is just so adorable when you consider that Antylamon's a Deva, but takes time out of her guard duties to look after a human child.
** It also helps that the scene also solidifies Antylamon as Suzie's partner afterwards, even going out of her way to stop Makuramon from harming her new Tamer.

* What about when Impmon tears himself away from his Tamers (who can finally share him and treat him as a friend) to go rescue the others, and Makoto gives him a toy gun "So you can go blast the bad guys" (the kid's like, 4).

--> '''Guilomon:''' Wings? I can fly?

--> '''Guilomon:''' Grani, are you sure?

* Takato and Wargrowlmon at the end of episode 14 after beating Mihiramon.
--> '''Wargrowlmon:''' Takatomon... you are worthy Tamer. Thank you, for fighting by my side.

** What is special is that Takato is hugging Wargrowlmon. While he is tiny, the affection behind the hug transcends size, allowing the hug to be as big as Wargrowlmon himself.

** Rika's CharacterDevelopment is completed in the Finale, when she cries for Renamon not to leave her, telling her that she loves her.

--> You know, Mako, this might just come in handier than you think!
*** That part is even sweeter. When Mako gave him the toy gun, Impmon was about to tell him it wouldn't help, but stopped himself to save his feelings.

* Grani's sacrifice is a TearJerker to be sure, but it's also heartwarming to hear his final words to Takato and Guilomon, reassuring them this is what he wants, for they are his friends.

* What about when Impmon tears himself away from his twin Tamers (who can finally share him and treat him as a friend) to go rescue the others, and Makoto gives him a toy gun "So you can go blast the bad guys" (the kid's like, 4). It then turns into a CrowningMomentOfAwesome when, while running in the direction of the battle, Impmon digivolves into Beelzemon, looks at the toy gun and it turns into a functioning [[ArmCannon arm-mounted]] '''{{BFG}}'''.
