History Heartwarming / LogHorizon

--> "''Reforged by Tatara, the blacksmith of Amenoma, for the personal use of a [[ShrinkingViolet quiet, unsocial wielder]]. That this earnest girl may go forward [[DefiedTrope without]] [[BreakTheCutie bending or breaking]], repelling evil curses and this world's tragedies, so that [[EmpathicWeapon man may support blade, and blade support man]].''"

** The only thing missing in Minor's group wasn't levels or skills, but [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendship]]. After they take a day to truly meet each other and get to know each other, they wipe out a group of five Burning Death.

** Krusty shows up unannounced at Raynesia's new home in Akibara, for tea and SnarkToSnarkCombat. He sits down on the couch and [[ShipTease she scoots closer]] but there's still a gap.

** A minor example but notable is Akatsuki noticing that Shiroe is acting a bit off than usual at the Round Table meeting, and asking if he's okay afterwards. It gets dropped when Minori and Tetora show up and HilarityEnsues, but she checks on him again later that night. Compared to near the end of last season when she laments not noticing those things, she's made [[CharacterDevelopment progress]]

** Demikas [[SandInMyEyes "drooling from his eyes"]] when Upashi regains consciousness.

* Episode 10 is William's WorldOfCardboardSpeech with many heartwarming moments.

* Episode 11: Akatasuki follows Shiroe to the [[DancesAndBalls Eastal Ball]] despite Henrietta following with a summer dress. This is the same dress she ran away from in Akikbara. It may sound FauxHorrific, but it demonstrates that Akasuki isn't merely role playing when she says "A ninja must follow her master."

** We see Naotsugu and Maryelle engaged in a private voice-chat session while he and Shiroe are off with Silver Sword for the big raid into the Depths of Palm. The sheer amount of ShipTease here reaches to {{WAFF}} levels. Maryelle tells Henrietta that she and Naotsugu agreed on this together, just so she could check in on them and see how they're doing, though Naotsugu in particular. They chat every night at 9:00pm on the nose, and based on their dialogue, they may be planning on doing something together for Christmas when Naotsugu and Shiroe get back from the raid. Henrietta's response is a smile and some playful teasing at her friend's expense.

** Akatsuki [[spoiler:jumping off a bridge to save Shiroe from a river, followed by Naotsugu fishing them both out.]]

** The moment in which the trio [[spoiler:eat tasty food in the game for the first time]] is adorable to the max.

** [[spoiler:Naotsugu and Nyanta haven't joined a guild because they're waiting for Shiroe to come to terms with his dislike of the guild system and start his own.]]

** [[spoiler:Maryelle's happiness at hearing Shiroe start his own guild.]]
** [[spoiler:The fact that Shiroe starts Log Horizon because he wants to improve the situation in Akiba.]]

** One of the biggest reasons Shiroe went from "Akiba sucks, wish I could fix it" to "Screw this, time to shake things up" was because Minori and Tohya had been caught in the crossfire. In other words, Shiroe formed Log Horizon and [[spoiler: blackmailed the whole city]] because it messed with two kids he considered himself the guardian of.
*** When it came time for the rescue itself, he wasn't taking any chances. [[spoiler: After buying their guild space and locking the leaders of Hamelin inside, he placed Akatsuki at the guild hall (along with borrowed [=CMA=] members) and Naotsugu at the Cathedral, just in case.]]

** A twofer-Isuzu's constant worry over him [[spoiler: considering he's a Lander subject to perma-death]] and Rudy brushing it off. He's an adventurer, you know, and he has teammates and civilians to protect.

** The FlavorText on Akatsuki's new weapon: [[spoiler: Haganemushi Tatara]].

That this earnest girl may go forward [[DefiedTrope without]] [[BreakTheCutie bending or breaking]], repelling evil curses and this world's tragedies, so that [[EmpathicWeapon man may support blade, and blade support man]].''"

** Demikas, again, grabs Shiroe and runs into the deepest area of the raid. [[spoiler: It wasn't for revenge, but to place Shiroe at his goal]], with the price of having Shiroe say the monk's name properly. Neither like the other, [[FireForgedFriends but the battles changed them both]].

** The look of Demikas' face when he sees his name alongside the Silver Swords [[spoiler:upon completing the Abyssal Shaft raid]] and even eating with them. He may have finally found TrueCompanions of his own.

** Demikas uses a monk technique to absorb an [=AoE=] big enough to hit a dozen players. This is on his own initative and it's implied to pretty painful. He's finally becoming a team player.
