[[folder:Inazuma Eleven Ares]]

* Ares Episode 2: Inakuni Raimon got a sponsor despite losing the match.
** Overlaps with AscendedExtra but Ootani Tsukushi's AscendedExtra is this in two ways. Because Ootani was a scout character in Inazuma Eleven 2 and Inazuma Eleven Strikers and is the Inazuma Girls' manager, it's implied that she supported the original Raimon team back in season one. This not only makes her one of the few supporting Raimon classmates that believed in the team from the beginning, and became an manager of respect and gratitude for Endou and the team. Emphasized with this line:
-->'''Ootani''': It's true that Endou-kun was an amazing person!
* Ares Episode 3: We get the source of Kozoumaru's preference of offense. When he was younger, he was a defender who wasn't good despite all of his training. He attempted to stop a robber thanks to his improved speed, but couldn't catch up. However, Gouenji arrives and not only saves the day, but advises Kozoumaru to become a forward instead. In hindsight, him learning Fire Tornado like Gouenji did makes sense.
* Asuto's letter from his mother is both heartwarming and tear-jerking. It shows her regrets about not being able to spend more time with Asuto because of her ilness and not being able to leave the country with his father, who left it to follow his soccer dreams overseas, but it also shows her supporting Asuto's dream, who becomes more determined to win the Football Frontier and hopes to see his father one day.
* Episode 15: Even though Zeus lost, its members, especially Aphrodi, take their loss very gracefully, stating that they had fun. It shows how much Kiyo's advice has changed Aphrodi for the better.

* Episode 13. Ichihoshi Hikaru being accepted to the team despite all he did would bring a smile to your face. Sure, they might have never forgotten the sabotage Ichihoshi did, but the fact that the team accepted him anyway is still a sweet moment by itself.
* Episode 15: Lee Kobun's backstory is finally explained with the reveal of him being Mutekigaharu Fujimaru. He led his friends, all street urchins with no family but themselves to steal and rob until meeting Coach Chiyun, who trained them in soccer not just for the sport, but to find a way to live properly. Together, they beat a team Coach also trained. While a TearJerker he left them twice, they reconnected again, Li risking his life in order to help him free soccer from Orion Foundation's corruption. In his own way, Chiyun left them to make sure that they'd enjoy soccer without the fears of Orion lurking.
** There's also the words that Li says to Zhao Jinyun after the match ended, after which he starts crying and hugs him.
-->'''Li''': You don't see people because you need them. You see them because you miss them!
* Episode 19: At the end of the episode, as the Chinese team laments how they were not able to win the match and go to the world to be China's stars, Zhao Jinyun assures them by showing them a picture of the team's supporters, saying that even if they didn't win, they're still stars to the people of China.
* Episode 20: Ichihoshi formally apologises to Kidou for setting up the trap. Kidou retaliates...by having his butler pose as an FFI committee member and giving Ichihoshi a drug box. Ichihoshi opens it only to be pranked, but at the bottom of the box there were the words “Don’t sweat it. We’re even now.” Then Kidou holds out his hand to Ichihoshi, saying now that they are comrades, they will fight together. Ichihoshi happily shakes Kidou’s hand with both hands. Awww.

-->'''Tobitaka''': Toramaru, we're friends. If something happens, you can come talk to me about it any time.

** Hikaru and Kariya's duet, Houkago Chemistry takes the determination from Soyokaze Dream and takes it UpToEleven with the song going on about pushing your limits.

* Episode 17 is just the start of a beautiful, long-lasting friendship between Endou and his former rival, Kidou. Notably, the scene at Kidou's house where him and Endou start to know each other better and realize they are NotSoDifferent after Kidou tells his story about how he lost his parents in a plane crash and started to play soccer after the only thing left from them was an old soccer magazine and Endou tells him that he also lost his grandfather and started to play soccer after reading his notebooks is a good start for their friendship.

* Episode 21: Despite the Mukata Triplets being major {{jerkass}}es to Gouenji in the last two episodes [[NeverLiveItDown for running away last year from the match against Teikoku and getting Kidokawa Seishuu disqualified as a result]], after learning from the coach about how his sister's accident was the cause, they apologize for treating him like that.
