* A meta one is seeing Sara alive and kicking (ass) again, no matter who decided to put her in the Lazarus Pit, after her unceremonious death left a heavy BuryYourGays and StuffedIntoTheFridge impression. And who convinced the Production Crew to bring her back? ''The fans did.''
** What's even more heartwarming is that Sara CameBackStrong not only in-universe, but also out-universe. She is an important character in Season 2 of ''Arrow'', but everyone agreed that even without her dying abruptly in the Season 3 premiere, she would have less to do in any season afterward, as her arc ends in the Season 2 finale, having managed to mend fences with her family and lover. After she got transferred to this series, however, she becomes the closest thing the Legends have to a main character and never strays away from the spotlight, being the TeamMom of the group. Sara essentially headlines the show.
* The entire concept! The creators have basically take a group of EnsembleDarkhorse characters (both from their respective TV shows ''and'' comics) and built an entire show around them!
* Despite his rather dickish behaviour to Kendra, Carter truly does love her and will do anything to keep her safe and alive.
* Even if they got written off the show after Season 1, the relationship between Creator/CiaraRenee and Falk Hentschel is heartwarming as they still hang out, Falk even flying over from Santa Monica to New York to visit Ciara.
** During the Legends of Tomorrow Panel at [=DragonCon=] 2016, Ciara comments that she's cold in their panel room and Falk in return gives her his blazer to wear.
* Following the show's cancellation Keto Shimizu took to Twitter to deliver a message of thanks to fans of the show.
--> ''Thank you to our fans; your love and passion for our strange band of misfits has made every break, every script, every daily, every cut, and every mix worth all the hard work. We see you, we love you, and you’ll always have a place on the Waverider.''

* Professor Boardman reuniting with Kendra and Carter in 1975. What makes this moment so heartwarming is that Kendra and Carter are his parents in their previous lives, and he personally witnessed them murdered by Vandal Savage in the 1920's. Although orphaned at the age of 10, it took many decades for Professor Boardman to finally see the reincarnation of his parents again.
* When Stein asked why Jax had a change of heart about time travelling, Jax explained that he saw how brave Stein was when facing against Chronos, and it reminded himself back in the football days where his teammates ensure that he's safe:
