** A beautiful moment in the game would have to be when Sora and Riku use the power of sound to break the spell on Mickey, which is poignant enough, but it is made even better by what plays when they use it. What song does it play? None other than ''Dearly Beloved.''

* In Kingdom Hearts 3D, Riku sees some of Pete's goon's set up cardboard images of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy. He then notes with a smile that those three are always together, no matter what.
* In the February trailer, Axel and Roxas have a moment on the clock tower. What really pulls it together is when Roxas says "[[spoiler: Got that memorized?]]" to Axel.
--->'''Roxas:''' [[spoiler:You promised us, right? That no matter how many times we left, you'd always be there to bring us back.]]

*** It's been reported that [[spoiler: it ''does'' happen. At the end of the game, Lea and Sora meet. This would be an "And The Fandom Rejoiced" moment if it wasn't for the circumstances within the plot - the leaked ending isn't that upbeat]].
*** Subverted. The ending [[spoiler: isn't quite a happy ending, but it's a lot more upbeat than feared]]. Basically, Lea [[spoiler: pulls a BigDamnHeroes on Sora, and the whole group makes it to Yen Sid's tower safely]]. Not only, but [[spoiler: Sora ultimately fails the exam, but nonetheless]] he is genuinely happy [[spoiler: for Riku, who made it instead.]] True, now Sora [[spoiler: is in Traverse Town, all on his own for the first time, but the Dream Eaters keeping him company, and this can drive someone crazy in the long run, but after [[TraumaCongaLine what he's gone through]] in The World That Never Was, and considering this is ''Sora'' we're talking about, it's not like this is likely to happen]]. Also, if you saw the last part of the game's opening, [[ForegoneConclusion you know Sora's gonna be okay anyway]].

* [[spoiler:Ven]] saves Sora after Young Master Xehanort [[spoiler:shatters Sora's Heart, forcing him to become comatose. Ven lends Sora his keyblade armor, shielding Sora the same way Sora was shielding him.]]
* [[spoiler:After Riku earns the Mark Of Mastery and Sora does not, instead of becoming upset or depressed, Sora immediately congratulates Riku and tells him that he's happy for him, Sora still goes on a journey alone to become a master himself, but he does it for completely unselfish reasons. It shows that despite what's happened in the first two games, Sora and Riku are still best friends]]

* [[spoiler: SmugSnake Joshua from The World Ends With You has several examples which place him here oddly enough, considering his [[JerkAss original]] [[ManipulativeBastard characterization.]] Not only did he reveal his wings to Sora and Riku, he recreated the Players after Shibuya was destroyed by Darkness.]]
