Line 11:
* For this troper, it was Vegeta, preparing to [[Taking You With Me|sacrifice himself to kill Buu]], finally revealing that he has a heart and [[Final First Hug|embracing his son Trunks for the first time...]] topping it all off with a "You've made me proud." After spending the entirety of the previous major arc not even giving his family a second thought, this was a true indication of just how far the Saiyan Prince had come. {{spoiler|It would've been even more heartwarming if Buu hadn't survived and Vegeta hadn't brought back to life the next day.}}
** Goten was so moved by this scene, he sucked his thumb briefly.
** Pretty much ''any time'' the incredibly emotionally stunted Vegeta and #18 show that they care, especially #18 - at least with Vegeta you get the constant idea that Earth has been slowly growing on him through the series; with #18 you get a while before she shows, however briefly, that she actually cares about anyone - until then you get the idea that she's just hanging around everyone out of habit rather than friendship. Her yelling out to Krillin before his [[Heroic Sacrifice]] against Super Buu was a nice "awww, she ''does'' care" moment, [[Kill
*** For #18's part, it's played a whole lot straighter in GT [[Dragon Ball (Manga)/Tear Jerker|when Krillin is murdered by Super 17]].
** We even see that Vegeta cares for Gohan and Goten, as well; when everyone believes that Buu killed Gohan, Vegeta is enraged and mentions this as one of his main reasons for wanting to kill Buu. Later on, after {{spoiler|Earth is destroyed, Vegeta snaps at Goku, not that he let ''his'' son die, but that he let ''their sons'' die.}}
Line 35:
* The Ginyu Force exist because Toriyama used to watch [[Super Sentai]] with his son. This is cute enough, but reaches CMOH levels because Toriyama mentions in his intros in the ''tankobon'' that he was often too busy with the manga to spend time with his family.
* The development of Gohan and Videl's relationship throughout Z in its entirety.
* This troper just gushed at this instance when I saw it in the DBZ anime (not sure if it's in the manga or Kai, haven't gotten that far in either yet). But after Goku had been deathly ill from the heart disease, he remarks to [[Education Mama|Chi]]-[[Tsundere|Chi]] and Master Roshi that he's going back out to fight the androids. Chi-chi of course is against it at first, nearly loosing her husband already with the heart disease (seeing her watch over Goku when he was sick made this troper smile [[Tear Jerker|and cry]]). But the two eventually come to an agreement, knowing she can't stop her husband from going back out there, with the promise that he'll save the earth from the androids. Then...one of the RAREST things I've ever seen. While it's out of focus, we only see up to Chi-chi and Goku's shoulders. But from the look on Master Roshi's face, and the way Goku's hand tenderly squeezed Chi-chi's shoulder-leaning a bit closer to her body...it's easy to assume that [[Idiot Hero|Goku]] [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|actually gave his wife a good bye kiss!]] This was such a rare moment to see between the two this troper teared up in happiness! The whole scene was screaming [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|Aww, look they really do love each other]]!
* This troper has never considered Dragon Ball GT canon except for one moment- a flashback to a family & friends day out on the beach, before Goku went off to train Uub. Goku, the guy who's always leaving his family behind to fight or train or both, said something that made me almost tear up.
