History Heartwarming / YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CkAiqeWejE processing]] video was obviously in-universe about Yami's loss in ep 71 but it is very clearly directed at viewers who are devastated by Donald Trump's unexpected victory and not for them to give up hope.

* Yami caring more that he lost Yugi in ep 71 than the fact he lost a card game. LK actually plays it straight and goes with the filler storyline.

** Yugi didn't know the words, the Pharaoh didn't know it was a song at all, he just happily went along with it. This is pretty sweet, particullary considering how the Pharaoh normally acts.

* Meta:The WebVideo/YuGiOhARCVTheAbridgedSeries team thanks him for creating TheAbridgedSeries genre and being their inspiration.

* Yugi and Yami singing "You've Got A Friend In Me" to each other, even though they forget the words. Though some would say that makes it even better.

* Meta:On the 10th anniversary of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', the WebVideo/YuGiOhARCVTheAbridgedSeries team made an anniversary video thanking and congratulating him for creating TheAbridgedSeries genre and being their inspiration.

--> "No...Mai...This can't be happening. I love you. I was gonna spend the rest of my life with you..."

* Marik's talk with Odion during the duel between Yami and Melvin. While it wasn't ''quite'' the heartfelt apology that his [[nime/YuGiOh canon counterpart]] gave during the same scene, Marik still managed to swallow his ItsAllAboutMe attitude long enough to at least let Odion know what a great brother he was. The fact that Marik [[spoiler:intended for these to be his LastWords]] makes it double as a TearJerker.

* Two of LK's abridged thiefshipping fics get stunningly WAFF-y.

* Episode 56 ends with the gang mourning the end of 4Kids. Despite the dub for ''OnePiece'' they were thankful for 4kids introducing Yu-Gi-Oh and other anime to kids.
** "[[VerbalTic Nyeh]], [[BigDamnHeroes Brooklyn rescue]]."

* The 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' sequence was genuinely pretty touching.
** Also Yugi claims in that episode (36) that his friendship with Joey means more to him than card games. Given that card games are played to such obsessive levels in this show, that's saying a lot.

** The ending, when Joey and Yugi start WaxingLyrical, leading into the song No Matter What playing, and Kaiba, the last person you would expect, saying that he loves the song.

--> Joey: It's ok Yugi. We're here now. Your wish came true man. Tristan and I are gonna protect you.

* Tristan's speech in episode 51.
** "It's okay Serenity. I've lived my life as nothing but a side character, fit only for spouting brainless quips and catchphrases. But now, I get to die the way I've always wanted: falling, screaming like a girl, into a pit of boiling hot lava, flesh being seared from my bones. If I do survive, I'll probably be unrecognizable. But if I do die, it'd be as a main character. It's funny; I used to think my voice gave me super strength. But now, I know the truth. And it's my love for you is what really gives me super-strength."

* From episode 53:

* Still on the topic of Seto and Mokuba, in episode 14:

* In the 3D movie, Yami Yugi admits that [[ItHasBeenAnHonor it's been an honor]] playing card games with the other protagonists. [[ThrowTheDogABone Even Jaden]].

* In one of the Evil Council episodes, they manage to kill Yugi, Psychoshipping becomes canon, Bakura is voted villain of the year and everyone agrees that Florence is the manliest name ever. Bakura says it's the happiest day of his life, and he actually ''sniffles''. Sniffles. Bakura.

* Meta, but a comic a tumblr user made for LittleKuriboh in response to the complaints about the [[LetsPlay/MarikPlaysBloodlines Marik Plays]] series seeming to take more precedence over the main series after the move to Team Four Stars site: Marik is stalling for time so the series won't reach its ForegoneConclusion, [[spoiler:Bakura's death at the end of the series]]. He just doesn't want to lose his only friend.

** And then there's the adorable Film/StarWars reference:

** A few years later, this takes on... [[HomeStuck a whole different meaning.]]

* Long Gone, by LK. Nsfw, but... Still.
** Source?

* Most of Marik's cover of [[Disney/HunchbackOfNotreDame "Out There"]] was a funny moment, but it was still kind of touching to see the final line synched up with Marik [[FirstTimeInTheSun emerging from the tomb for the first time]].

* The 'Total Eclipse of a Heart' sequence was genuinely pretty touching.

** The ending, when Joey and Yugi start WaxingLyrical, leading into the song No Matter What playing, and Kaiba, the last persong you would expect, saying that he loves the song.

* This troper thought the 'Total Eclipse of a Heart' sequence was genuinely pretty touching, and funny. Maybe it's just me?

** The ending, when Joey and Yugi start WaxingLyrical, leading into the song No Matter What playing, and Kaiba, the last persong you would expect, saying that he loves the song...

* "YGOTAS Sails Away" could also qualify.
** Especially when, in the midst of offering several different things in return for Bakura agreeing to sing with him, Marik finally says, "What if I told you I loved you?" Bakura is first shocked... but then, a little later, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther he does sing after all]].
*** The fact that his voice [[DefrostingIceQueen softens]] ''ever-so-slightly'' when he reacts had this troper positively wibble.
** This troper felt like crying when Pegasus [[spoiler: started reminiscing about his wife]].
* The part where Mako Tsunami gets back together with the ocean.
** Especially because [[spoiler: the ocean finally speaks.]]
*** Also Joey's surprisingly legit relationship advice he gives to Mako.

* And while we're on the topic of Seto and Mokuba, in episode 14:

** (Then again, this troper loved the relationship that Seto and Mokuba had in the original, so she squeals anytime she sees traces of it in the abridged series)

** He did have his fingers crossed behind his back though.

** [[spoiler: ItWasAllADream [[YankTheDogsChain though.]]]]
