Dragon Ball/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* How could nobody have mentioned the time when Goku finally comes back after Cell, and walks into the room Gohan and Krillin are in. AWWWWW!!

'''Krillin''': Goku!! (tackles Goku while crying) }}

* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV3dUuV-a58 intro] to the latest Dragon Ball Z TV special is one, taking [[Opening Shout-Out|Opening Shout Outs]] and combining them with happy glimpses into the lives of all the main characters, with a [[V-Formation Team Shot]] at the end. And then there's the rest of the special...

* Also from DBZ, after Goku throws the Spirit Bomb and kills Buu, he floats down slowly to the face-in-the-mud Vegeta, holding out a thumbs up, saying "we make a pretty good team after all, don't we?" Vegeta's head slowly lifts, smirks, and he returns the thumbs up.

* This troper always found Goku's proposal to be adorable. I mean, as a stupid little kid, he mistook marriage for a kind of food (understandable, given [[Oblivious to Love|this]] [[Is It Something You Eat?|is]] ''[[Idiot Hero|Goku]]''...), but when he's grown, he nearly breaks Chi-Chi's heart when he tells her so, and then turns around and proposes for real. This troper found it a lot more romantic than several big, fancy, traditional proposals in other shows and movies she's seen.

** It's a miracle he could disengage his arm from her embrace to fight Ma Junior. Or Tien, for that matter.

* 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.}}

* 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.

Goku: Well, I have to admit, I ''do'' miss all the fighting. *turns to look at Chichi, smiling* But here, I get to be with ''you guys''! }}

* When Krillin has the opportunity to deactivate Android 18 but can't bring himself to do it. This could even double as a [[Tear Jerker]]

* After becoming Mystic, Gohan has a heartfelt goodbye with his father before going off to face Majin Buu, with Goku believing this is the last time he'll see Gohan until his eventual death. It wasn't but still, incredibly touching.

* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[[SD 4 yj IU]]-[[M 9 Q]] That's all I gotta show you.

* The ending of episode ''Save the World'' where Gohan has just defeated Cell and the Z Fighters (including Vegeta) all gathered with smiles on their faces around an exhausted but smiling Gohan after his victory.

** Also, while waiting for Goku, Trunks keeps stealing glances at Vegeta and again, has this little smile on as he meets his father for the first time.

* In a filler episode as Goku is relaxing with Krillin before the Cell Games, he admits to Krillin that he isn't sure that if they are strong enough to defeat Cell, but he doesn't want Chi Chi or Gohan to worry and he wants to spend as much time with his family should anything happen.

* Gohan and Krillin's reunion with Dende.

* Vegeta's speech to the humans during the final battle with Kid Buu, where he encourages them to raise up their arms to give Goku the power he needs to create a Spirit Bomb big enough to destroy Buu, and tells them to [[Dare to Be Badass|"consider this your first step to becoming a warrior race."]] [[Humans Are Morons|While it does take a while for the humans to get the hint]], it's saying a lot when it comes from the guy who tried to destroy the Earth himself a decade earlier.
