History Heartwarming / SonicX

* The final battle against the Metarex shows time and time again how much the cast care for each other. Heartwarming, in an otherwise tense, and at times, {{Tear-Jerker devastating}} finale.

* Eggman is content to take over Earth because he's been teleported there and tyrannising one planet is pretty much the same as any other, but it's quite nice to see that he too wants to go home badly enough to help out with the space-gate.

* In episode 75, when Sonic tells them to prepare for battle against the Metarex, Knuckles immediately objects, saying that Cosmo is still frail. The sight of his massive gloved fist that can break a Metarex's battle armor held out protectively in front of little Cosmo is strangely heartwarming. Of course, Rouge and the other's reactions to this transform it into a moment that's more funny than anything else, but the fact that they can all still laugh together, despite everything that they have been through, would make many people smile.

* After [[spoiler: Tails fires the Sonic Driver at Dark Oak and Cosmo, the planet begins to break apart. Dark Oak is revealed to be Luke, the Metarex that sacrificed his home planet for a chance at peace, but went too far. He stands silently, grieving. A silhouette of Hertia appears, floating above him, and holds out her hand. Luke smiles, reaches out, and takes her hand, fading into light. Their silent reunion, and Hertia's forgiveness towards him, is heartwarming.

* In the last episode, Chis and Knuckles have a conversation whilst sitting on the shrine of the Master Emerald. Their friendship moment is both funny and heartwarming, especially because we don't see the two of them interact very often.

* Episode 76 is full of adorable Sonic/Amy moments. Seeing Sonic floating helplessly on the surface of the Metarex water orb, Any flies her ship towards him, only to be trapped by the vines. Undeterred, she climbs out of the ship and allows herself to drift down to the orb, not caring abut her own safety, only that Sonic won't have to be alone. Sonic catches her and holds her tightly as they sink deeper. They are saved by the Planet Egg, which floats them to safety. Even after the two hedgehogs are on solid ground, they continue to cling to each other, holding each other up.

* Ok, this was very brief in quite a TearJerker/battle scene, but when Sonic is about to power up a canon to destroy the dark oak [[spoiler: and by extension, Cosmo]], he sees Shadow approaching it too. When inside, the two exchange a small smile with each other as if to say; "together?" "together.". It's one of those moments where we see their upmost respect for each other.

* Sonic and Knuckles comforting Tails after failing to flying his ship competently that he's a good captain anyway.

** Also, it was implied earlier on in the episode that Sonic may not survive the attack on Dark Oak when being shot out of the canon. So, when Shadow jumped in, it was almost like they were facing potential death together. Man... who would have guessed?

* Episode 14 has Sonic help Helen, a disabled little girl who needs a wheelchair, fulfill her dream of seeing flowers on an island. Just seeing the little blue hedgehog who can run so fast console a girl who can't even move on her own and spend the entire day just to cheer her up warms the heart.

* Tails and Cosmo's [[spoiler: goodbye kiss]] is both this, and a TearJerker.

** Particularly memorable is when Bocoe and Docoe strike out on their own for a while, and Eggman tries to cook Bokkun a meal and fails miserably. That, and Eggman takes them back without a second thought, something that Sega's wrathful Eggman would be hard-pressed to do and that Archie's machiavellian Eggman would never consider.

* Chris Thorndyke may have [[TheScrappy annoyed the living heck]] out of 80% of the viewing audience but this troper ''still'' wells up when she watches the end of the second series of ''Sonic X'' and Sonic takes him running one last time, before he has to do the whole return to his own world forever thing. It's summed up in the fact that Sonic cries for the first time pretty much ever in that continuity, and the kid gets the tears in his face. That you never see Sonic's eyes just makes it worse.

** This troper never really cared much for the anime, but even she can't deny the ending to Episode 52, ''Memories of the Wind''. [[spoiler: There Amy has waited for a good while for Sonic to return. When he does, Amy rushes to him, yells at him while in tears, then finally declares she would have waited for his fateful return for the rest of her life. THEN she screams for Sonic to just tell her he loves her. Sonic responds by giving her a flower and an answer...which is inaudible and thus ambigious.]] But it works so well that I was "awww"ing throughout.

* And for bonus points, Hironobu Kageyama is one of the singers of the Japanese opening. [[DragonballZ How appropriate...]]

* The television series focuses a lot on the relationships between the characters. Not even Eggman is exempt from this, as his hench-bots - specifically Docoe, Bocoe, and Bokkun - gradually come out of the background and become full-fledged characters, complete with a few mini-arcs. While each have their own quirks, the three together with Eggman ultimately come off as a sometimes-dysfunctional family.

* The comic book adaption, Eggman poses as a wrestler (El Gran Gordo) to help make profit for his machinery, it is quickly revealed however that the doctor [[BecomingTheMask has become accustomed to his new alter ego]], and enjoys being popular for once. After a suspicious Sonic challenges the doctor in his wrestling alias, he finally overpowers him and gets ready to take off his mask and reveal him. However the doctor quietly begs him to let him keep his new identity and be loved for once in his life. Sonic is hesitant, but complies, and "El Gran Gordo" graciously congratulates the victor of the match.

* Unfortunately, the 4Kids dub does away with most of this, and plays the same music for almost every situation, ruining some of the more emotional scenes.

** [[SonicTheHedgehog Sonic X]] again. During the episode ''Last Resort'', Amy makes Sonic a bracelet out of shells to protect him when he's [[SuperDrowningSkills around his weakness, water]]. Instead of being all put out the way he usually is when Amy makes a romantic gesture, Sonic can only stare at her in surprise. The look on his face, coupled with the look on Amy's, is absolutely adorable. [[HateDumb Why do some people dislike Amy Rose again?]]

* Amy's bond with E-102 Gamma in the ''SonicAdventure'' adaption. It was cute in the game itself, with the anime's refined animation and dialogue however it's upped a fair bit. Perhaps most notably Amy defending him after his battle with Sonic, the guy's probably never had someone care for him, let alone on the verge of tears about him.

* Near the end of the final season the crew will have to use the Master Emerald against the Metarex. The fate of the universe is on the line and it's literally their last chance... and Eggman points out to Chris that if the Master Emerald explodes, he's going to [[YouCantGoHomeAgain lose his only chance to go home]]. He's no doubt expecting an immature response much like the one he would've gotten from Chris when he was twelve years old... except Chris doesn't answer, he just turns around and goes back to work. Because it's the fate of the universe at stake and that's no contest. Still you can see how much it tears him apart, and it takes on a new significance when you remember that Chris, the boy who [[IdiotBall once risked destroying all of time]] just because he didn't want to let go of Sonic. Now he actually ''wants'' to leave Sonic and knows what he's giving up if he stays... and he still gives it up, just like that. Took him sixty plus episodes but he [[RescuedfromTheScrappyHeap got there in the end]].
