History Heartwarming / FLCLProgressiveAndAlternative

** Kana's WorldOfCardBoardSpeech [[spoiler: results in a PlatonicDeclarationOfLove for her friends, and Pets specifically. She appears closer to Hijiri and Mossan in the aftermath.]]

* Although Iide couldn't do very much, he makes a valiant effort to fight against Haruko in episode 5 now that Jinyu isn't there to protect either of them.

** [[spoiler: Even though she had SecretlySelfish motivation]], Kanon jumping to help Mossan is a great example of friendship. Covering a work shift wouldn't be fun, after all, and she's not getting paid for it either.

** Kanon has ''four'' [[ShipperOnDeck shippers on deck]] for her crush on Sasaki. Yes, ''four''; Haruko's using a variation on OperationJealousy to get her to burst with emotion (and activate her N.O. channel, but still, it's the same goal).

** Atomsk embraces an angry, frustrated, and heartbroken Haruko. Then, he leaves again, but [[spoiler: not before leaving Jinyu with Haruko]].

** The reveal that Aiko is an ArtificialHuman created from Canti's parts comes along with her "father" explaining that he wasn't able to bring himself to use her as a weapon. For however long she was with him, he had become fond of her. The last thing he does before mochi-fying, is pass her a piggybank and saying she is free to do whatever she wants.

** Hidomi and Id HoldingHands in the final scene. It is SealedWithAKiss.

* After Aiko's FetalPositionRebirth from the giant pumpkin, Mori catches her as she falls. He then loans her his oversized shirt to cover herself with.

* After Aiko's naked "Rebirth" from the giant pumpkin, Mori catches her as she falls. He then loans her his oversized shirt to cover herself with.

* After Naota getting jerked around by a ManipulativeBitch and a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} using him as a surrogate for his older brother (both of whom were also way too old for him,) Ide and Hidomi have the healthiest relationship seen yet in FLCL, with Ide being a genuinely NiceGuy willing to risk his life for Hidomi (even if he's largely ineffectual) and Hidomi's stoic nature faltering whenever she's around him.
* The fact that Julia Jinyu, who genuinely cares for the safety and well-being of others, [[spoiler:is actually part of Haruko that split off after they absorbed Atomsk]], proves that despite her manipulative tendencies Haruko really did care about Naota in the end and realize that trying to gain Atomsk's power by destroying the world was wrong. Unfortunately, it only takes a brief conversation with Jinyu before Haruko gets pissed off [[spoiler:and unceremoniously eats her just to stop listening to the moralizing.]]

* The fact that Julia Jinyu, who genuinely cares for the safety and well-being of others, [[spoiler:is actually part of Haruko that split off after they absorbed Atomsk]], proves that despite her manipulative tendencies Haruko really did have a heart deep down inside. She most likely did care about Naota genuinely and realized that trying to gain Atomsk's power was wrong, at least if she tried to do it by destroying the world. Unfortunately, it only takes a brief conversation with Jinyu before Haruko gets pissed off [[spoiler:and unceremoniously eats her just to stop listening to the moralizing.]]

* Only two episodes in and compared to the manipulative and abusive relationship between Naota and Haruko, Jinyu is actually trying to watch out for Hidomi in spite of attempting to kill her previously. Best shown at the end of the episode in that rather than trying to harm her or thinking she's some sort of abomination for her transformation, Jinyu just opts to grab an exhausted and injured Hidomi and gently set her up for a medbay without a second thought.

* Also in the ending animation, after Haruko [[spoiler:steals Atomsk's power]], two familiar characters look up at the sky: [[spoiler:An older Naota and Mamimi]].
