* A bit more meta than most examples here, but this game is basically Riku's journey to forgive himself for what happened in the first Kingdom Hearts game.
* Players can have these moments whenever they pet their Spirits, and then the Spirit responds warmly. For instance, pet your Meow Wow enough, and he'll start licking you.
** One of the game's ending scenes. Sora's joyful laughter as he's amassed by happy Dream Eaters.
* [[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.
* The things Riku and Sora say about each other [[OnceAnEpisode about once a world]] are really heartwarming.

* Riku's speech before going to wake Sora up. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG4qiNdfh1Y&list=ELvsLBsgexiXc&index=67&feature=plpp_video Click here for the warm fuzzies!]]
--> '''Riku:''' Mickey... I really appreciate it. But... I'll go wake Sora up. Look at his face. Sleeping like nothing's wrong- like there's nothing to even worry about. He's always been like that. The three of us would agree to work on the raft, and then this guy would go take a nap on the beach. You see, it's my job to keep him on his toes. Besides, what kind of Keyblade Master sleeps through his test? I'm doing it for me, too. Sora saved me once. And... I heard him call my name. He needs me. Guys, thank you. Sora and I will be back soon.
* Before that, Mickey volunteering to wake Sora. His decision isn't just about saving Sora, it's about protecting Riku too. Diving into Sora's sleep is actually fairly dangerous (Mickey talks about the various dangers with Yen Sid) and even though Yen Sid says that Riku has a better chance of success, Mickey's still reluctant to let Riku do it and would rather go himself. That's right, even though there is actually a better chance of Riku succeeding (and getting back safely), Mickey would rather do the dangerous task himself to keep Riku safe.
* [[Film/TronLegacy Rinzler]] reaching for Sora's hand right before he fell to his death can qualify, even if Sora wasn't able to save him. And it shows that even if this Tron isn't the same as the one Sora knows, he still thinks Sora is a good person and trusts him.
* Right before Riku is about to enter the Organization's base and save Sora, he wonders how he's going to get there, than he see's a Meow Wow on the other side of the chasm and a Komory Bat on his shoulder, that are happy to help him. Him petting the bat only makes this scene more adorable. Also serves as a bit of a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} due to the abrupt music change.
* When the digitized version of Ansem the Wise asks Riku what his name is and Riku answers, "Riku," before leaving. This is a [[CallBack Call Back]] to [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Kingdom Hearts II]] when Ansem the Wise as Diz asks Riku when he was 'Ansem' what his name was and he answered Ansem. It shows how much Riku has changed his opinion about himself since this adventure.
** Also, Ansem The Wise and Riku sharing a joke about Sora falling asleep again. It's very low key, but considering Ansem's life thus far, he probably hasn't laughed at anything like that in a long time.
** Also, in perhaps his most heartwarming moment in the conversation, Ansem admits that yes, anything is capable of growing a heart. This is a far cry from his [[FantasticRacism attitude toward Nobodies]] as [=DiZ=] (a.k.a. Darkness in Zero), showing just how much ''he'' has grown.
** The whole scene is extremely tranquil, and shows a peaceful moment for both Riku and the player [[EarnYourHappyEnding after the main game has finished]], even in spite of [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII the coming war.]]

* When Mickey announces that he's going to save Sora, Yen Sid rejects this, but he does say that Mickey would "probably succeed"; he's rejecting Mickey's idea because he doesn't want to lose Mickey.
* Riku's speech before going to wake Sora up. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG4qiNdfh1Y&list=ELvsLBsgexiXc&index=67&feature=plpp_video Click here for the warm fuzzies!]]
--> '''Riku:''' Mickey... I really appreciate it. But... I'll go wake Sora up. Look at his face. Sleeping like nothing's wrong- like there's nothing to even worry about. He's always been like that. The three of us would agree to work on the raft, and then this guy would go take a nap on the beach. You see, it's my job to keep him on his toes. Besides, what kind of Keyblade Master sleeps through his test? I'm doing it for me, too. Sora saved me once. And... I heard him call my name. He needs me. Guys, thank you. Sora and I will be back soon.
* Doubles as funny. Just before Riku enters Sora's heart to save him, Lea tells Riku that he will help out should the darkness overtake Riku again because [[MetaphorIsMyMiddleName "Dark Rescue" is his middlename]].name]].
* When the digitized version of Ansem the Wise asks Riku what his name is and Riku answers, "Riku," before leaving. This is a [[CallBack Call Back]] to [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Kingdom Hearts II]] when Ansem the Wise as Diz asks Riku when he was 'Ansem' what his name was and he answered Ansem. It shows how much Riku has changed his opinion about himself since this adventure.
** Also, Ansem The Wise and Riku sharing a joke about Sora falling asleep again. It's very low key, but considering Ansem's life thus far, he probably hasn't laughed at anything like that in a long time.
** Also, in perhaps his most heartwarming moment in the conversation, Ansem admits that yes, anything is capable of growing a heart. This is a far cry from his [[FantasticRacism attitude toward Nobodies]] as [=DiZ=] (a.k.a. Darkness in Zero), showing just how much ''he'' has grown.
** The whole scene is extremely tranquil, and shows a peaceful moment for both Riku and the player [[EarnYourHappyEnding after the main game has finished]], even in spite of [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII the coming war.]]
* When Sora wakes up, the first thing he, Donald and Goofy do is not go off on another adventure. They just sit down together, eat cake and drink tea. Just like actual friends do. They just, for one moment, ''relax.''
* Yen Sid proves that he's the better master than Eraqus. Yeah, Riku has done some bad things and dabbled too much with Darkness on occasions... but he's learned how to control it and is ''worthy'' of being a Keyblade Master - Yen Sid doesn't write Riku off because of the Darkness, like Eraqus does to Terra.
* 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.
* When Sora leaves to go back into the Dream Worlds, ''Donald'' is the one who asks him if he's going to be alright, showing just how much their relationship has changed over time.

-->'''Roxas''': This could have been the other way around. But it really has to be you.\\
'''Sora:''' Huh?\\
'''Roxas''': There are so many hearts connected to yours. You're me, so you can feel what I felt.\\
'''Sora:''' No. Roxas, ''you're'' you. We're not the same. That's what I wanted to tell you. That you deserve, just as much as I do, to be your own person.\\
'''Roxas''': *taken aback, smiles* Sora, see? That's ''why'' it has to be you.
** To put it bluntly, Roxas basically admits that Sora is not just a "good other"; he is a better person than he is, and the only one who can lead ''both'' of them from their suffering.
** The most poignant thing? Roxas spent his last days being told that he ''was'' Sora, his existence a mistake and his "death" the best thing for everyone. Sora is the only person in the series to ever say the above aloud, and one of only a few to even believe it.
** For those who want to watch this heart melting scene, it starts at about 9:10 [[http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D67rH_fjRhA here.]]
* In Sora’s trip through the dream version of The World That Never Was he runs into Roxas who shares his memories with Sora, including memories of Xion. And during the ending level, Riku is asked questions by Roxas, Ventus, and Xion. Looks like Xion wasn’t forgotten after all!
* Ventus saves Sora after Young Xehanort shatters Sora's heart, forcing him to become comatose. Ven lends Sora his keyblade armor, shielding Sora the same way Sora was shielding him.
* Right before Riku is about to enter the Organization's base and save Sora, he wonders how he's going to get there, than he see's a Meow Wow on the other side of the chasm and a Komory Bat on his shoulder, that are happy to help him. Him petting the bat only makes this scene more adorable. Also serves as a bit of a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} due to the abrupt music change.
* Donald and Goofy watch Riku, and ''their best friends, Sora and Mickey,'' go to fight the bad guys and decide that, no, they're not staying behind this time - and steal the star shard to join the fight themselves. They help... by booping the guardian on the head.
* Mickey volunteering to wake Sora. His decision isn't just about saving Sora, it's about protecting Riku too. Diving into Sora's sleep is actually fairly dangerous (Mickey talks about the various dangers with Yen Sid) and even though Yen Sid says that Riku has a better chance of success, Mickey's still reluctant to let Riku do it and would rather go himself.

---> '''Riku:'''[[spoiler: Mickey... I really appreciate it. But... I'll go wake Sora up. Look at his face. Sleeping like nothing's wrong- like there's nothing to even worry about. He's always been like that. The three of us would agree to work on the raft, and then this guy would go take a nap on the beach. You see, it's my job to keep him on his toes. Besides, what kind of Keyblade Master sleeps through his test? I'm doing it for me, too. Sora saved me once. And... I heard him call my name. He needs me. Guys, thank you. Sora and I will be back soon.]]

Him petting the bat only makes this scene more adorable. Also serves as a bit of of a CrowningMomentOfFunny due to the abrupt music change.

This is a [[CallBack Call Back]] to [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII Kingdom Hearts II]] when Ansem the Wise as Diz ask Riku when he was 'Ansem' what his name was and he answered Ansem. It shows how much Riku has change his opinion about himself since this adventure.]]
** [[spoiler: Also, Ansem The Wise and Riku sharing a joke about Sora falling asleep again. It's very low key, but considering Ansem's life thus far, he probably hasn't laughed at anything like that in a long time.]]

** [[spoiler:Also, in perhaps his most heartwarming moment in the conversation, Ansem admits that yes, anything is capable of growing a heart. This is a far cry from his [[FantasticRacism attitude toward Nobodies]] as Darkness in Zero, showing just how much ''he'' has grown.]]
