* When Chihiro passes her test(recognizing her parents among an assembled group of pigs) and she gets the truth, knowing NONE of them are, the spirits who were transformed to trick her are all returned to their true form as Chihiro's contract is destroyed, with every single spirit of the bath house(other than Yubaba initially)cheering and celebrating for her happily.

* After Chihiro passed her test and her waving goodbye to the rest of the spirits who has grown attached to her, Yubaba can be seen smiling as Chihiro leaves with her parents implying that she has grown to respect her. Chihiro also hugs her in farewell, much to Yubaba's confusion.

** Not only that, but the fact he also rode all the way to the top of the elevator alongside her. He clearly had a destination in mind that was ''not'' Yubaba's penthouse, seeing as he went back down as soon as she reached her floor. He may well have stayed on the elevator just to keep her company and prevent her being discovered. Both because he's large enough to step in front of her to keep anyone from seeing her, and because his scent could mask her human scent. On top of that if she was spotted the staff wouldn’t interfere as they would either consider her the Radish Spirit’s guest or if they didn’t see her that he had an important appointment with Yubaba and thus not pay his presence any mind.

Nor is there any indication that he has any external incentive or hidden agenda in lending his help; despite the FantasticRacism the other gods and youkai hold against humans, ''[[HeroicBystander he simply understood that he could help this girl, and did as such]]''.

** Not only that, but remember that from the Spirit Worlds' perspective, [[HumansAreBastards Humans had simply forgotten their connection with the Spirits]], causing pollution or destroying locations that are important to the Spirits way of life. The River Spirit; one whom was said to be very important but due to the pollution of Humans had become completely unrecognizable even to his fellow Spirits. Then as the newly-hired Human Sen begins to serve the "Stink Spirit" and discovers the "Thorn" manages to lead the charge in seeking to remove it with some prompting from Yubaba, Sen keeps pulling out tons and tons of human garbage that was gumming up the River Spirit; not stopping until the very last fishing line had been plucked from the Spirits' body. [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity Suffice to say on that night, The Spirits opinions of Humanity began to change for the better.]]

* During the cleansing of the River Spirit, all of the other otherworldly guests of the bathhouse gather around and encourage the staff as they pull the garbage out. The spirits even help out slightly by chanting to keep time as the workers tug on the rope. Later, when the River Spirit is fully healed and flies away, the spirits all cheer for Sen while dancing and jumping for joy: they're not just celebrating her and her hard work, they're utterly ecstatic that one of their own has been restored and can live as his true self again.

* When Haku demands that Yubaba release Chihiro and her parents, Yubaba says that they made a deal and needs to pass the final test, hearing this, some nearby bathhouse employees, who have gotten attached to Chihiro, show their displeasure by booing Yubaba. They may hide when she yells "[[BigShutUP shut up!]]" but considering how powerful Yubaba is and what she can do to them, it shows that they are willing to openly oppose their master so one of theirs can be free.

* The end credits song “Always With Me”. The song is about life and death, and even though dying can melancholic, the soul would always be reincarnated into another person. The song portrays reincarnation as something wonderful, as well as the light in everything.

* The end credits song “Always With Me”. The song has some quite sweet and heartwarming lines. Some of the official English lyrics include:
--> Though the road is long and lonely and the end is far away, out of sight, I can with these two arms embrace the light.
Another one includes:
--> I’ve found a brightness. It’s always with me.

* He gives Chihiro food that stops her from disappearing, and then demonstrates that it's worked when they gently touch hands. Haku's expression softens as they do this.
* The scene where Haku gives Sen some Onigiri to eat in a quiet place and she breaks down in tears further cementing that [[YouAreNotAlone he's there for her]] by bringing her to a quiet and specific place where she can cry for once. And he puts a comforting hand on her back, too.

* Haku knows that if Chihiro leaves the spirit world, he will never see her again. He goes to bargain with Yubaba anyway for her freedom, as well as that of her parents.

* The soot spirits immediately like Chihiro when she saves one of their own from getting squished with coal. While at first, they pretend to be squished so she'll do their work, they keep her clothes safe and give them to her without question.

* Zeniba accepts Chihiro's apology on Haku's behalf; in fact, her bigger concern was that the seal Haku had stolen didn't curse Chihiro. Zeniba then treats the girl and her new friends to tea, showing she's not a bad person. When Haku shows up to escort Chihiro to the bathhouse and free her parents, Zeniba tells him she forgives him, knowing he was brainwashed into doing Yubaba's bidding. Her only request is that he protect Chihiro.



** No Face returns to normal when outside the bathhouse. Chihiro invites him onto the Spirit Train since she has an extra ticket from Kamaji.



* The Youkai's transition while Chihiro is at the bath house. They are full of FantasticRacism towards Chihiro when she first arrives, but after she asserts herself and proves to them that she isn't as useless as they perceived her to be, she seems to grow on them. For example, the Foreman - who had previously denied her bath tokens - doesn't find her struggling to get the stink spirit cleaned amusing after she leads it to the bath, and later he shows genuine concern when she goes to confront No-Face. The frog and human-esque Youkai that she saves by feeding the spirit's medicine to No-Face vouch for her when they are talking to Yubaba about Chihiro's punishment. Other characters, like the boiler man, who were initially jerkish at first eventually come around (though some are faster than others). At the end, all of them cheer for Chihiro when she successfully finishes Yubaba's test.
