* The ending of Hikage's Story in ''Shinovi Versus'': Hikage has been out and about trying her hardest to understand "excitement" since it looks so great when everyone else experiences it. After multiple comedic answers from the others, Hikage finally realizes what makes her happy. [[spoiler: Cooking for the rest of the Crimson Squad, and seeing their happy smiling faces.]] For a character that is 90% TheStoic, seeing her smile so ''genuinely'' is adorable.

* Mirai actually gets a lot of PetTheDog moments in ''Shinovi Versus.'' The two biggest ones are her finally meeting cute_shutin, ([[spoiler: Murasaki]]) someone praising her work, and Mirai saying that there's no way she'd ever be disappointed with her fans.

* Also counts as a tearjerker, during Katsuragi and Yozakura's final battle in the Hanzo story of ''Shinovi Versus'', Katsuragi refuses to kill Yozakura when told she wouldn't accept defeat. When Katsuragi reveals that doing so would break her parents' hearts, Yozakura finds out [[spoiler:Katsuragi's parents are the shinobi she and the Gessen Girls begged to spare Kurokage when they were young.]] After realizing her death would break Kurokage's heart, Yozakura finally accepts defeat, allowing Katsuragi's parents to live.

* Mirai got another PetTheDog moment at the end of the ''Waist Deep'' DLC story from ''Senran Kagura 2''. After receiving punishment from Daidouji to convince Mirai to own up for her actions that caused her as well as her friends and the Hanzo Academy girls to become SuperDeformed to avoid being made fun of by her peers [[spoiler:after her plan to eat Kagura's red orb to grow up backfired]], the rest of the Crimson Squad also took responsibility for Mirai's actions and not noticing her self-esteem problems from feeling less than the others at the time. The close-up of the remorseful and chibi Mirai makes you want to give her a hug to let her know she's forgiven. Seeing Mirai considering apologizing to her friends before being confronted by Daidouji, as hesitant as she was out of fear of being hated for making them into chibis, is also a sign that [[CharacterDevelopment Mirai is growing]].

--> '''Shiki:''' He [Kurokage] is in my heart...

to:

--> '''Shiki:''' He Now he [Kurokage] is in my heart...

Added DiffLines:

* Shiki's story in Estival Versus has her speaking with the spirit of Kurokage, who inspires her to go on living and that he'll always be a part of her live even though he is gone. To lessen the sadness, Kurokage reminds Shiki of her GratuitousFrench / GratuitousEnglish speaking skills he's taught her. In the end of her path, Shiki says this in her GratuitousEnglish.
--> '''Shiki:''' He [Kurokage] is in my heart...

Added DiffLines:

** In particular, when the two meet up again in the Hanzo story, Hibari vents her frustrations about nobody ever getting mad at her for making mistakes, only ever treating her kindly. She only became a shinobi because she inherited the Kagan ability, something she feels her siblings deserved much more, and she's worried that, with the Kagan's power of hypnosis, she may be unknowingly forcing everyone around her to be kind to her, which means she can never make real friends. Haruka assures that is Kagan not powerful enough to do that; people are kind and patient with her [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre because she's Hibari.]]


* Yumi gets some serious CharacterDevelopment during her DLC story in ''Burst Re:Newal'' while providing several of these: Pulling some strings to allow Ryobi and Ryona to transfer to Hebijo and giving them her fan (given to her from Kurogane) as "proof" they defeated her to allow the transfer, working with Hikage to protect her former gang from a rampaging Naraku (due to a misunderstanding) despite beating them up several times, and stopping Yozakura from going full KnightTemplar out of grief from losing Kurogane all while sticking to her principles of Pure Righteousness.

After multiple comedic answers from the others, Hikage finally realizes what makes her happy.

* During the prologue of ''Estival Versus'' the girls are brought to the island, have to fight off mysterious shinobi, and are generally very on edge even as the four groups meet up with one another, until Asuka sees a sight that puts her mind at ease much more than pretty much anything else could at that point:
-->'''Asuka:''' Grandma!

** Murasaki and Imu also get a brief but touching moment in the OP, where they're shown sunbathing side by side, before rolling over, holding hands, and smiling at each other. Given how not-touchy they usually are, the moment is incredibly sweet.

* Rin's level up dialogue in ''Estival Versus'' is very heartwarming when one realizes that it is talking about Kiriya.

* A nice moment between Murasaki, Imu and Ryōbi during Day 2 of ''Estival Versus''. Murasaki is pushed to fight Asuka, Ikaruga and Katsuragi by herself. She's extremely reluctant about the whole thing, obviously, but [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ryōbi]] encourages her by saying she should use this opportunity to show her sister, Imu, how bright she can shine. Murasaki goes on to fight, and win, and Imu makes no effort to hide how proud she is.

Added DiffLines:

** Murasaki's Shinobi Hearts is pretty adorable all the way through. She shows up singing that song from Mirai's story, and after the initial comedic shock, Miyabi and Imu actually sing along too. Murasaki's Hearts story ends as she and Miyabi are performing in the play, having a blast while they do so.

Added DiffLines:

** In Murasaki's Shinobi Hearts story in ''Estival Versus'', she becomes interested in musicals after reading a story by Mirai about them. At one point she encounters Mirai and pretty much their entire conversation while duking it out has them singing the musical number from Mirai's story together. It's quite sweet, especially compared to the usual high jinks that make up most of the Shinobi Hearts stories.


* Kafuru's Shinobi Hearts story CG of her tightly hugging Sayuri after the two resolve a misunderstanding and Sayuri telling Kafuru that, out of all of the girls there, she has the best potential towards being a loving mother.

* In ''Estival Versus'' the girls are more motivated to play around on the beach than begin the Shinobi Bon Dance as part of the Kagura Millennium Festival. On the Gessen side, Yozakura gets into it and cuts loose more than everyone else combined and Yumi quickly figures out why: After years of doing nothing but take care of her siblings and being a TeamMom for the Gessen students, she is ''finally'' getting a chance to enjoy herself and have fun.
