* Episode 4: Hachiman's solution to the stalking messages. If the cause is that the suspects don't get along with each other because they all want to be closer to Hayato, then, the solution should be getting Hayato out of the picture for enough time to allow them to get along without the need of having Hayato around. It works and it gives birth to the ComicTrio.

** Hiratsuka sensei's lecture about everyone making mistakes and miscalculations to Hachiman on the bridge, which doubles as another moment where they share a scene and he isn't being abused nor snarking at her. Despite all the crap she puts him through, this shows that she truly does care and ''understand'' him. The best part is when she complains about not finding a husband due to her own miscalculations, Hachiman blurts out that it's really because the guys she knows have lousy taste, causing her to blush. Even better? He ''meant'' it. He says that if he were ten years older, he would have fallen in love with her.

* In Episode 3, Komachi hugs Hachiman after revealing she's now joining his alma mater, Sobu High School. When Yui arrives to congratulate her, the reality of Yui being Komachi's senpai sinks in, Komach cries TearsOfJoy and immediately hugs her.

* Having a few in the past season, in this one Iroha makes a lot of ShipTease with Hachiman, at the point of being like an inch of giving him a kiss and keeps whispering teasing words in his ear. Noticing about Hachiman's BigBrotherInstinct on her, Iroha's ArcWords in this season are "I'm not your sister."

** Hachiman and Yukino being an awkward yet adorable OfficialCouple in all but name, to the point where [[EveryoneCanSeeIt all the guys already know and tacitly give their support]].

** Komachi and Iroha reviving the Service Club with Hachiman and Yukino, and [[BookEnd just like the first episode]], Yui arriving at the scene with a request of her own: [[TrueCompanions to be friends with Yukino and Hachiman forever]]. Yukino immediately and readily accepts, with [[SoProudOfYou Iroha and Komachi grinning proudly]] as Hachiman does a TitleDrop.

** Komachi and Iroha reviving the Service Club with Hachiman and Yukino, and [[BookEnd just like the first episode]], Yui arriving at the scene with a request of her own.

** Seeing Komachi wearing the same uniform as the rest of the cast, Yui instantly hugs her and introduces her to Iroha.

* The very beginning of Episode 12 has Hachiman and Yukino returning to their old Service Club room, even though it had been disbanded, as they decide to solve a problem together. But they soon look over at Yui's empty chair, and ''immediately'' agree to get her involved. They still see her as a dear friend and they refuse to let her go even with the LoveTriangle being fresh on their minds.
* When Hachiman and Yukino gather people to help them do an unofficial, non-sponsored prom party, ''everyone'' joins in to help, including Iroha, Yui, Hayato, Hina, Saki, Tobe, and ''Yumiko'', alongside Zaimokuza, Totsuka, Sagami's younger brother and his best friend, and the rest of Iroha's student council cabinet.

* Shizuka and Hachiman have a serious discussion about how to proceed with his relationship with [[spoiler:Yukino]] in episode 5, with him asking what would happen to Shizuka if things don't pan out with Iroha's prom idea for the graduation party. Shizuka brushes it off, saying she can just get another job or try her hand out in marrying someone, but reminds herself she has no potential boyfriend candidates, let alone prospective future husbands. Hachiman says she has no reason to worry about that, and Shizuka immediately asks if he's gonna take her hand in marriage. He of course says no, not because he has feelings for Yukino, but because he thinks she'd be "wasting" herself on someone like him.

---> '''Yukino:''' "Well, it might be hard for me now, but one day I'll definitely rely on you. So, thank you."

* Episode 1

---> '''Yukino''' "Bye. Good night. And ... um... Thank you for walking me back.

** Seeing Hachiman in a troubled state, Yoshiteru approaches him and offers to hear his problems out. Hachiman tries to turn Yoshiteru down, but Yoshiteru insists otherwise, as Hachiman listened to him all the time before. Yoshiteru says he's "reaching out to the weak", and while Hachiman says "Idiot. Don't say stuff that's actually cool", he smiles at the end.

---> '''Hachiman:''' (To Yui and Yukino, on the verge of tears) I want...something genuine.

---> '''Hayama:''' (To Hachiman) You're incredible. Just like that, you can change those around you.

---> '''Iroha:''' Senpai, it's your fault this happened to me, you know.
---> '''Hachiman:''' ''(blushing)'' Well, the student council president thing is, but the rest...
---> '''Iroha:''' ''(whispering in his ear)'' [[ShipTease You'd better take responsibility.]] ''(Hachiman blushed even more than before)''

** [[https://kyakka.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/zoku11_04.jpg Those 20 seconds,]] which is arguably even better in the novels, where Hachiman describes the scene first hand. His often bland, concise and exact descriptions give way to a beautiful, almost romantic, picture of Yukino.
---> '''Hachiman:''' ''(internally)'' "Her exposed skin that was as white as a blanket of snow. Her wet, damp black pupils. Her long eyelashes that momentarily shook with a blink. The finely shaped bridge of her nose. The smiling shape of her mouth along with the escaping of breaths."

** No one likes Hachiman as his gambit in the first season saw to that, so when Hayato brings Tobe to ask a favor of the Service Club he tells them that he doesn't want to talk about it around Hachiman. Yui grits her teeth, holding back her anger when Yukino politely says to leave. Hachiman thinks she means him and gets up, but Yukino tells him to sit down and clarifies that she meant for Tobe and Hayato to leave. She then berates the two of them for their attitude because that is not how they should ask someone for a favor. It's a nice re-affirmation that even though Yui and Yukino tease Hachiman a lot, they've still got his back when someone really slights him.

[[folder:Season 2]]

* Episode 1: Hachiman gets a homemade cookie from Yui for his help. Despite the cookie's dubious taste, he still eats it as an acknowledge for gratitude.
** Even better when we later learn that [[spoiler: the person Yui was baking those cookies for, was Hachiman all along. What a sweet ending.]]

** Sable's attachment to Hachiman. Considering [[spoiler:he saved Sable from an accident prior the events of the series]], it's really cute how the little dog hasn't forgotten about him.

* Episode 12: One of the few moments where Hiratsuka isn't abusing Hachiman. After [[spoiler: he ruins his reputation by verbally tearing into Sagami]], she reminds him that his twisted attempts to help others shouldn't mean that he should always sacrifice himself.

*** The soundtrack helped a lot to empathize such point.

** Similarly, Yukino's actions at the end of the episode. [[spoiler:She admits that for all her talk, she's not the paragon she thought she was, and she wasn't being fair to Hachiman. She can see he's staying in the club mainly because he cares about her and Yui, and she tells him he doesn't need to worry about them, and he's free to go if he wants. She'll understand. Coming from such a proud person and one who often gave him a lot of crap, it really says something about how kind she is, and how much she really does care about him.]]

Even better? He ''meant'' it. He says that if he were ten years older, he would have fallen in love with her.]]
** [[spoiler: Hachiman's breakdown. All of it.]]
*** To be more specific, [[spoiler: Hachiman admits that his methods don't really solve anything and have strained his relationships with the few friends he's managed to make: Yui and Yukino. Actually ''weeping'' in regret, he admits that he wants to understand others and their emotions, however he finds it completely selfish and conceited of himself to do so because it's out of a desire to stop being in the dark - not out of a desire to actually help people. Yet, what he says afterwards ''firmly'' establishes that he actually ''does'' care about Yui and Yukino, and he wants to make a true stand at friendship with the both of them.]]
--> '''Hachiman:''' (To [[spoiler: Yui and Yukino, on the verge of tears]]) [[spoiler: I want...something genuine.]]

** Iroha explaining to Hachiman that he was the reason why [[spoiler:she confessed to Hayama]] and how it also serves as an explanation of Hayama's statement at the beginning of the episode.
--> '''Hayama:''' (To Hachiman) You're incredible. Just like that, you can change those around you.
** And in the same scene, this WhamLine that knocks off Hachiman even more [[spoiler:about Iroha wanting something genuine, too]].
--> '''Iroha:''' Senpai, it's your fault this happened to me, you know.
--> '''Hachiman:''' ''(blushing)'' Well, the student council president thing is, but the rest...
--> '''Iroha:''' [[spoiler:''(whispering in his ear)'' [[ShipTease You'd better take responsibility.]] ''(Hachiman blushed even more than before)'']]

*** The PV after credits features a funny conversation between Yumiko and The Service Club. This is the same girl who hates Yukino and dislikes Hachiman. It shows that if she actually tried, [[OddFriendship the three of them could get along just fine]].
