{{Heartwarming}}
* {{spoiler|At the end of episode 17, Yasha feels guilty for allowing Mithra to be captured and her sister Durga dying. [[The Messiah|Mithra]], now rescued, forgives him in spite of this.}}
* {{spoiler|The flashback to Asura and Durga after Mithra is born, it shows that before all the shit went down, he had a really happy life, for christ's sake he rocks her around, and he's freaked out when she cries like any new father would, it's just sweet.}}
** {{spoiler|Episode 22 has him admit his worries; unsure what to do whenever she cries, and asserts the best he could do for her is [[Papa Wolf|punch anyone that makes her otherwise]]. Durga, both amused and touched, assures him she would raise Mithra while he focuses his attention on protecting the world for her. Oh, and apparently Baby Mithra cries whenever Asura leaves the house.}} All together people. Awwwwwwwww.
* After Emperor Strada was murdered and Asura killed, the Seven Deities made Asura out to be an insane, depraved monster who murdered Strada, and that it was only by the heroic efforts of the Seven Deities that he was defeated. However, after  {{spoiler|Asura dies a second time}}, the villagers who reside in the area around where he is sealed believe that he is watching over them, as there are fewer Gohma attacks in that area. Even though the Seven Deities have made Asura out to be a villain of the worst sort, these people believe that Asura has been protecting them for those centuries when he was sealed away in stone. Considering what [[Badass|kind]] [[One-Man Army|of]] [[Person of Mass Destruction|person]] Asura is, that may hold some truth, if only because the Gohma are afraid of making him angry enough that he  {{spoiler|comes back to life again}}.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXDwSsb48gM In your Belief] by [[.hack|Tomoyo Mitani]] is music of Heartwarming, especially the vocal version, which might bring to mind of many of her vocal themes for [[.hack]] and the [[Naruto]] [[Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 2|Ultimate]] [[Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations|Ninja]] series. It manages to out rivals those songs, if that's even possible.
** From what has been translated so far the song is a real [[Tear Jerker]].
* A [[Heartwarming in Hindsight]] example: While Asura was  {{spoiler|in his blackened Wrath form, he was relentless towards anyone Shinkoku or Gohma related. However, according to a Shinkoku soldier watching from the sidelines, he left the civilian demigods and humans alone. It takes a special kind of heart to understand who is an enemy or not, especially when at this point he is so blind with rage he can't stop fighting.}}
**  {{spoiler|When he went Wrath form during the first few battles with Chakravartin, Asura was still sane enough to know where he was and why he was fighting the entire time.}}
{{quote|'''Asura''': "Mi...Thra...."}}
*** What comes after is even more heartwarming. It just goes to show that even in the depths of his [[Unstoppable Rage|madness]] he still knows [[Power of Love|exactly what he is fighting for]] and that [[Heroic Resolve|HE WILL NEVER STOP!]]
{{quote|'''Mithra''': [[Heroic RROD|"Please... if you don't stop your body will..."]]<br />
'''Asura''': I... DON'T...CARE!!! }}
* Episode 21:  {{spoiler|Yasha's sacrifice.}}
** "Go...save Mithra...and the world."
{{quote|'''Asura''': "You idiot. You were always a brother. Never an enemy."}}
** Asura clenching his fist one last time, which was about to strike Yasha, and then giving him a fistbump.
* Episode 22. The final fight. "End It."
**  {{spoiler|"My Wrath...Is finally...gone."}}
** When Asura opens his eyes one more time, and  {{spoiler|they're back to normal.}}
** As Asura leaves for his last battle,  {{spoiler|the spirits of Durga and ALL of the Seven Deities}} all watch, wordlessly wishing him luck.
