Digimon Tamers/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Tamers has a "Crowning Character of Heartwarming" in the form of Ruki (Rika). To count:
    • Rika praising Renamon's performance and offering her an energy drink. Granted, it wouldn't be out of character in later episodes; but this was from one of the first ones, so, it is totally heartwarming.
    • Rika, seeing as she would travel to the Digital World for an unknown amount of time (and maybe never returning at all), dressing a very pink and very girly dress that she hates so much, just to make her mom happy.
    • Rika and Renamon rushing to take Impmon to the real world even when they had no time to be wasting (as the ship heading there would be out in minutes). Seriously, this could go on forever.
    • Rika, before rushing to the final battle, accepting a new shirt from her mother, with a blue non-broken heart (opposite to the usual blue broken heart she usually wore).
      • What makes it sweeter is that right after, her mother removes her own jacket to reveal her new shirt: one with a red heart. "We match..."
    • Rika's Character Development is completed in the Finale, when she cries for Renamon not to leave her, telling her that she loves her.
  • What about when Impmon tears himself away from his twin Tamers (who can finally share him and treat him as a friend) to go rescue the others, and Makoto gives him a toy gun "So you can go blast the bad guys" (the kid's like, 4). It then turns into a Crowning Moment of Awesome when, while running in the direction of the battle, Impmon digivolves into Beelzemon, looks at the toy gun and it turns into a functioning arm-mounted BFG. There are fucking reasons why Beelzemon is this troper's favorite character from that series.

You know, Mako, This might just come in handier than you think!

    • Even after 10 years I watch that scene and it brings Manly Tears when he says "I've never felt this kind of power before, and this time I'm fighting for what's right!"
  • Takato and Juri's conversation at night about him missing his parents.
    • Takato and Juri, period.
  • In the beginning of episode 9, Takato is utterly afraid of Growlmon from seeing him fight Devidramon. Then you see tears from Growlmon crying out to Takato not to be afraid. At that moment Takato realizes Growlmon is no different from Guilmon.
  • Takato and Wargrowlmon at the end of episode 14 after beating Mihiramon.

Wargrowlmon: Takatomon... you are worthy Tamer. Thank you, for fighting by my side.
Takato: I didn't do anything, but trust you and myself. (They both begin tearing up) Looks like we're gonna need a lot more peanut butter.
