History Heartwarming / PuyoPuyo

!! Meta
* In the older games Compile included at the beginning a little message supporting the Act Against AIDS foundation, to spread awareness and fight misinformation about AIDS at the time. Unfortunately SEGA never did that after they took over the franchise.
* SEGA knew the fanbase was there for Puyo Puyo, but couldn't market the latest game in the West at all without possibly encountering the wrath of Ubisoft, who own the Tetris rights in the West. They managed to find a set of very specific clauses in Ubisoft's deal that meant they were FIRST to release a Tetris game on the latest hot gaming platform, the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, and were able to also release it on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation4.
** A further one came a few months later, when VideoGame/SonicMania came out. The final boss of Chemical Plant Zone? A modern-day revival of VideoGame/DrRobotniksMeanBeanMachine!... and this time, Puyo Puyo fans '''''can''''' recommend a game to people asking about this fun 'new' puzzle game!
** A final one came in 2018... When SEGA released Puyo Puyo Tetris on it's final format... 'Microsoft Windows', with a promised feature being the '''Japanese''' voiceovers!
** Just the lengths to which Sega has been repaying their debts to Western ''Puyo'' fans in 2019. They localized ''Champions'' even though it would likely not sell as well as ''Puyo Tetris'' because [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks "there's no Tetris in it"]]. Then later, ''Super Puyo Puyo 2'' was put on the initial library for the Nintendo Switch SNES Online service in the West as the sole import title, to much fanfare. This peaks with ''Tetris 2'', a sequel to the beloved ''Puyo Puyo Tetris'' that's the first game in the entire series to have a western release '''before''' the Japanese release.
* The Sorcery Saga name was all that Compile Heart has left of the Puyo Puyo franchise. Considering the themes on the only game they did release, ''Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God''... Well, even though Arle moved on, clearly the Madou world still believes in the favorite food of their lost child...
* In the new theme for the ''Super Puyo Quest'' update, Atari sings out '''''"One, Tsu, Sun, Yo~n, Fev, Chu, Seven"''''', effectively name-checking every game up to Chronicle and establishing Sega's official stance on the game order.

!! ''Madou Monogatari'' series
* In the ending of ''Madou Monogatari: The Final Test'', Arle wants Phantom God to revive Schezo after his HeroicSacrifice. As much as she gives him crap and snark for his shenanigans, she would never wish death on him and is distraught and heated when she saw him killed off. Thankfully, to her relief, it turned out Schezo was only ejected out of the dungeon and not actually killed.
** Before the fight with Phantom God, Arle has some second thoughts fighting the god, thinking she's not strong enough to win. Rulue steps up to give her a pep talk, and essentially tells her to give them a good beatdown in Schezo's name. Even with the two at odds for Satan's romance, outside of that, Rulue can be a big sister to Arle when she needs to be.
** Even before the disaster, the fact Schezo chose to ''save'' Arle and Rulue instead of himself is a surprising gesture from him, and even he thinks the act was unlike him. Deep down he does care for the two in his own way.
* At the end of ''Madou Monogatari: Tower of the Magician'', Schezo ends up sparing Wish and her power for another day. It rendered his quest for power ultimately pointless, but he reasons that it wouldn't be a fair duel after he just freed her from possession. As someone who stops at nothing to gain more power, this is an incredibly generous gesture from the dark mage.
** Furthermore, he complains that his mission was a waste... Only to change his mind when his new ActionPet Tenori Zoh trumpets from his shoulder, saying he was worth the trip.

* In Episode 20 of ''7'', picking Satan has him take matters into his own hands as opposed to Ringo. In that entire exchange, he was more than willing to kick Ecolo's ass for using Arle as his personal plaything, not because she's his so-called fiancée. Not once does he mention his romantic interest in Arle; he was driven to save her from mind control out of genuine concern.
