Umineko: When They Cry/Heartwarming

"Maria: "Maria is sad to be bullied, but thinks that it can't be helped."
 * Umineko no Naku Koro Ni has a lot. This Troper remembers (but can't remember exactly when) in EPISODE 2 in which . This tropers heart goes heavy when he remembers it.
 * Even more worth mention in the episode, and also kind of a Crowning Moment of Awesome for  is the scene where   This Troper almost cried.
 * Actually, it wasn't that he changed his mind about telling her his name. Her dying words were asking what his real name was, and he replies "My real name is..." * flump* ... he looks up, and sees that Jessica is already dead, before hearing his name. He then simply says "I've become.... hu...ma....." and dies himself. Makes it even sadder, for me...
 * Also the scene where
 * I don't know how the end of Episode 2 hasn't been mentioned yet.  But at least they're  together.
 * makes This Troper tear up every time. The background music really helps, too.
 * This troper finds the events of Episode 15 strangely heartwarming.
 * After the fifth arc,
 * Episode 5: As if Battler smashing open Erika's closed room by diving out a third-story window weren't enough, he follows it up by catching Beatrice in his arms when she leaps after him. And yes, it's raining at the time - all that's missing is Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes."
 * Nearly every moment between Eva and Hideyoshi.
 * During the fifth game's hidden tea party, Battler was already a Crowning Moment of Awesome, but a truly heartwarming moment occurs a short while after   his declaration in red that
 * I can't believe I didn't notice this until now, but Kyrie calling Battler her son in the fourth game. In the third game, you find out what Battler represents to her, and it's not a good thing. Her being able to get over that after Rudolf dies and being able to call him her son is just touching. "You are Rudolf's son. ....No, you are my son. Show me something I won't be embarassed to brag about. I entrust everything to you." "Understood, Mom".(Battler also always referred to Kyrie by her name, not by "Mom", though she is his stepmother.)
 * What makes this scene even more heartwarming is that
 * An unusual amount of wisdom and insight from Maria, who is usually limited to "uu-" and occult ramblings:

Ange: "It can't be helped...? Why?

Maria: "There's a rule that says every class has to have a single bullied kid. If Maria wasn't there, then there'd surely be a new bullied kid chosen in Maria's place. By staying strong, Maria can protect that kid."

"Sakutaro: "From now on, I'll always be with you. Together for eternity. ...So don't let go of me, okay?""
 * Sakutaro.

"Beatrice: I wonder if the man I give these chocolates to will get me anything on White Day. ..
 * Beatrice's White Day. Poor Beato is upset that Battler returned Lucifer's Valentines Day present and not hers, and then proceeds to sic the Siestas on the Stake's presents and their gift-givers. Battler immediately tells her off, saying that she doesn't deserve a present and declares in red that he'll never get her anything for White Day. Then once Virgilia and Ronove get Beatrice to calm down, they tell her that they'll turn back time to February 13th So Beato is failing at making chocolate, and when she realizes that it was still March 14, she gets even more upset than before. But in comes Battler.

Battler: Yep. I'm sure of it.

Beatrice: Even if this man used the Red Truth to say he wouldn't get me anything on White Day? There's no way he can, right?

Battler: No, he can.

Beatrice: How?

Battler: By using the Blue Truth. Like this. W"

"Lion: Please, don't let go of me! We will definitely escape together, so...!
 * Really seems like more of a Pet the Dog moment than anything, but... in Episode 2, when Kinzo tells Natsuhi that Ushiromiya's one-winged eagle crest burns brightly in her her heart, despite her not having the right to have it sown on her clothes. Still makes this troper go "Awwww," even though he now knows of the terrible things Kinzo has done.
 * Episode 6, Dawn of the Golden Witch. When Battler finds out that, the evident happiness in his voice and face as he holds  is utterly touching, and a well deserved reprieve for him.
 * Episode 6, from to  to.
 * The end of Episode 4's tea party. You know the one.
 * Most of Will's scenes in EP7. For example, when he comforts Rosa about Beatrice or Kinzo about the fact that he is not qualified to understand Kinzo's love, but is is also not qualified to deny it and judge him.
 * Also, when Will is protecting Lion from

Will: Good. *smirks and hugs Lion tight*"

"Will: Take the rest of my arm, cats. You can have my legs too, if you want. But I'm never going to let go of Lion."
 * Also this:


 * EP8 is like a goldmine:
 * Any scene with Eva and six-year-old Ange, where it's revealed that Eva not only cared for Ange, but also viewed her as the daughter she always wanted. Eva is always shown doting on little Ange, and the scenes where she helps give her hints during the quiz tournament do nothing short of giving this troper warm, fuzzy feelings inside.
 * Of course, this only makes their... strained relationship first shown in Episode 3 even Harsher in Hindsight, especially how . However, Eva tries to make the most of every second she has with little Ange to make up for her cruel behavior, even though she's prone to beating herself up over it whenever Ange's not around.
 * This, however, builds up to an even greater CMOH where.
 * There are a number of extra scenes in EP8 that are unlocked by solving quizzes and serve to give closure to some of the characters. One has . Another features Rudolf finally telling Kyrie what he tried to tell her all the way back in EP1: . Kyrie takes it better than anything else she's said and done would have let on.
 * Rosa and Maria affirming that, despite all the crap they went through, they do love each other; and.
 * The scene in EP3 where . The scene is so good its hard to know if its heartwarming or tearjerking (or possibly both) and to top it of it's probably one of the only times a Beat Still My Heart moment has been beautiful.
 * The ending of Episode 8's hidden tea party. "Yukari Kotobuki"/ meets up with Tohya Hachijo decades after the Rokkenjima incident. Tohya turns out to be . While, Yukari nonetheless invites Tohya to the reopening of the Fukuin House decades after it went out of business. Inside the orphanage, a dining hall awaited Tohya, . And then the ending theme plays while.
 * Battler and Ange's ending in Ougon Musou Kyoku.
