* From the two-parter introduction for Racer, Challenge of the Masked Racer, we learn that even though it's been years since Rex left home, his family still misses him dearly.
** After Speed is badly injured from a drive through a storm, he wakes up back at Racer X's house, and notices a vase full of white roses, remarking that they're his mother's favorite flower. It's sweet enough that Speed remembers this detail, but it shows that Rex still thinks about his mom and misses her too.

* Any time Racer X shows up to help out [[BigBrotherInstinct Speed]].

* The reaction of what it effectively the entire world to Speed [[spoiler: coming up from behind in the finale. To the point that several of the international commentators are reduced to screaming incoherently into their mics as they cheer him on.]]

* Pops telling Speed that [[spoiler:he can come home anytime, despite Pops disagreeing with why he's leaving.]] This borders on TearJerker territory when you remember that [[spoiler:the last thing Pops told Rex was that if he left, he was no longer welcome in the Racer home. You can tell Pops was adament not to repeat past mistakes, and it shows.]]

** Really, every scene shared by Speed and Trixie is just dripping with "dawwwwwww".

-->'''Speed:''' Couldn't have gotten here without you.

* Soeed and Trixie hitting it off immediately as children, after Trixie punches another girl out for making fun of him.

* Sparky and Speed having their last conversation between the last race.

* When Taejo's sister [[spoiler:makes up for his double-crossing of Speed and the C.I.B. and uses LoopholeAbuse to help Speed enter the Grand Prix. To his credit, his smile when Speed arrives shows that he has no problem with what she did and cheers Speed on throughout the race.]]

* At one point, Taejo is flipping out at Speed and Racer X for the desert race. Speed reminds him that he was just "saving your ass". Taejo quickly throws a punch at Speed, only for Racer X to instantly catch it. [[BigBrotherInstinct Rex looks out for his little brother, no matter what.]]

* The very first race shows Speed racing against [[spoiler:the memory of his brother, who set the fastest ever time on that course]]. As he approaches the finish line, you see the two neck-and-neck until Speed [[spoiler:eases off the gas, allowing Rex's record to stand.]]

** Note how they're not even questioning whether or not they ''will'' win, but are instead anticipating sharing the moment together, as a family. And for all intents and purposes Sparky ''is'' a member of the family.

* Racer X anytime he compliments Speed, especially the montage at the end that reveals [[spoiler: his SecretIdentity as the long-thought-dead Rex Racer.]]
