Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series/Heartwarming

"Serenity: I love you. Tristan: I know."
 * This troper thought the 'Total Eclipse of a Heart' sequence was genuinely pretty touching, and funny. Maybe it's just me?
 * Marik and Bakura's  scene in which they sing "Stand by Me".
 * "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, he does sing after all.
 * This troper felt like crying when Pegasus.
 * The part where Mako Tsunami gets back together with the ocean.
 * Especially because
 * 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."
 * And then there's the adorable Star Wars reference:

"Joey: Yeah, I have a closing statement. Maybe we have committed copyright infringement. But you gotta know we've done everything in our power to support the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise! And if it weren't for us, I don't think the show would be nearly as strong as it is right now! Johnson: And where is your evidence of such? Joey: Look around, Johnson! There are more Yu-Gi-Oh fans now than ever before! And the more you try to stifle our creativity, the more we'll try to express our love for a show that's about more than children's card games! It's about fighting for what you believe in, and I believe in this show and its fans now more than ever! Because they believe in me!"
 * Joey's speech to Johnson in Episode 50 after being accused of copyright infringement (also doubles as a Crowning Moment of Awesome):

"Noah: Admit it. You don't really care for him. Kaiba: Yes, I do!"
 * From episode 53:

"Seto: I have to beat Yugi if I ever want to see my little brother again. I miss you Mokuba."
 * And while we're on the topic of Seto and Mokuba, in episode 14:

""I'm not fighting for this world. This world can go to Hell for all I care. I'm fighting for-" *beat* "The truth?... Marik, there's something you need to know... It's about us. Marik, I- I hate you. I hate you with all my heart. I hate you more than I've ever hated anybody. I hate you so much that I can barely take it. In fact, I want to go on hating you for the rest of my life. If our world is destroyed, well, I won't be able to hate you anymore.""
 * (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)
 * In a deleted scene of Melvin'd, Melvin calls Florence out on his hypocrisy in trying to prevent Melvin from destroying the world when Florence has the same goal. Instead of invoking The Only One Allowed to Destroy the World, Florence instinctively answers, managing to back himself in a corner, leading to this speech:


 * In the 3D movie, Yami Yugi admits that it's been an honor playing card games with the other protagonists. Even Jaden.
 * Joey getting annoyed at Yami for making jokes about Mai when she's in a coma. Am I right?
 * Episode 55 continuing to show us that for the all the crap and mean things he says to Mokuba, Seto really does care about his brother... even if he finds it hard to admit it in front of everyone.
 * He did have his fingers crossed behind his back though.
