Mahou Sensei Negima/Heartwarming: Difference between revisions

* Chachamaru feeding kittens. And saving kittens stranded in water. And this was back when she was just Eva's emotionless assistant.

* In chapter 118, when Negi meets with his father for whom he was looking for his whole life. Doubles as a [[Tear Jerker]], since it's just a duplicate which will disappear in ten minutes. Nevertheless, it is the happiest moment in Negi's life.

** The bit afterwards with Evangeline in one of her rare "cute" moments just adds to the effect.

* Then there's chapter 214 when Negi and Asuna meet after long period of separation in the magical world. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v24/c214/12.html Just] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v24/c214/13.html too] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v24/c214/13.html cute]. The fact that she always tried to maintain a tough front and not show how much she cares about Negi makes this outburst of her ''real'' feelings that much more heartwarming.

** And in chapter 77 where Asuna is heartbroken after she saw Takamichi and Shizune on what appeared to be a date {{spoiler|(It wasn't)}} and runs off followed by Negi. When he catches up to her she is already in self-loathing mode and starts to criticize herself claiming that she isnt someone to be liked ... only to be stopped by Negi who lists her virtues and says the [[Ship Tease|''he'' likes her]].

'''Negi:''' '''THAT... THAT ISN'T TRUE!''' Asuna is always so... steady, determined and beautiful... I... I've always liked you too... }}

** Another Negi/Asuna CMOH happened in issue 62. After stewing at him for the past three or four issues, Asuna goes out in the middle of the night to talk to Negi. After playfully jerking him around a bit, she strides toward him with a serious expression, looking like she's about to hit him. Instead, she catches him in a tight hug, apologizes, and tells him just how much she cares about him. Finally, she asks him to consider her his official partner, solidifying their [[Battle Couple]] status.

* In Chapter 209, cynical [[Meta Guy|Meta Girl]] Chisame is watching over Negi's unconscious body as he undergoes his trial for Dark Magic. She's been warned that if he doesn't wake up before sunrise on the second day, he may never wake up again. Sunrise is fast approaching and Chisame is getting very nervous. She starts talking to Negi, telling him that he seems to have a lot of faith in her and how that's kind of a big deal for her, as she's always been the onlooker. She grabs his hand and tells him that she believes in him...but then she starts wondering what she will do if he never wakes up, what she will tell her classmates. She grabs the knife that will break the trial scroll, apologizes to Negi for not believing in him to the end, and stabs down...only to see Negi catch it with two fingers, sit up, and tell her, "Good morning, Chisame-san. I'm all right now." She starts to tear up, Negi asks if she's all right...[[Anger Born of Worry|and she starts beating on him with a pillow, yelling at him for waiting till the last second and accusing him of putting her through hell.]] Jack Rackan shows up and tells Negi that Chisame stayed up nursing him for two days and two nights straight.

* One of the earliest CMOH is in chapter 50, when Setsuna reveals her {{spoiler|[[But Your Wings Are Beautiful|wings]], being part demon}}. After that, she decides she should leave, since Konoka will probably hate her, until Asuna smacks her in the face.

** And then there's Konoka's reaction upon seeing {{spoiler|Setsuna's wings.}}

* Chapter 252 had a real heartwarming moment between Konoka and Setsuna. Setsuna spends a good chunk of the chapter angsting about how she's unworthy of protecting Konoka, and is essentially torn between her ability to protect Konoka, and her desire to be friends with her, believing that her happiness is making her weaker. Turns out Konoka was aware of Setsuna's cycle of depression, and promptly gives her the best encouragement possible:

** {{spoiler|And then they <s>pactio</s> [[Relationship Upgrade|make out]].}}

* [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v23/c206/10.html Chapter 206]. Much [[The Glomp|Glompage]] follows.

** Even moreso because Tosaka acted like a total [[Jerkass]] toward Negi most of the time, and it shows that he [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|respects him, if only just a little.]]

* Chapter 262 Kotaro telling Natsumi that he thinks of her as a family was incredibly heartwarming, especially because she's the only person that he's expressed such extreme fondness for. She's also the only person that he's bonded with over something other than fighting, and he's the person least likely to express his feelings to anyone.

** {{spoiler|And they take a page out of Konoka and Setsuna's book by getting into a pactio as well. [[Relationship Upgrade|Wheee!]] [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|We hope]].}}

* [[Cute Ghost Girl]] Sayo's [[Day in The Limelight]] episode ("Verba volant, scripta manent") of the ''[[Negima]]!'' (1st) anime. Although she's a [[Cheerful Child]], [[Fridge Logic]] brings home [[Tear Jerker|just how heartrending]] her life must have been as an invisible, inaudible, and untouchable spirit; tied to one place and watching 65 years of classes pass her by. Then Kazumi gets up to ask Negi to add Sayo to the list. ''Aww''. Then Evangeline frees Sayo from her isolation by making her visible and tangible. ''Awwww.'' Finally, the class gathers around in friendly welcome. ''[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|D'awwww]]''...

** Chapter 74 of the manga qualifies for the same reasons.

* There's also chapter 263, where [[Robot Girl|Chachamaru]] suffers a huge bout of depression because she thinks that she doesn't have a soul because she's just a robot. Negi then proves her wrong the the most spectacular way possible. {{spoiler|The pactio won't work without a soul, after all, and Negi is ''going '' to make it work--kissing her harder and harder--to the point of causing an ''explosion ''--until the laws of magic themselves cave in and give her a card}}.

** To top off the moment, {{spoiler|after she recieves her pactio card}}, [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v29/c263/17.html we get to see what may be the first true full-blown smile on her face].

* Chapter 269. {{spoiler|Nagi saves Arika from execution by horde of monsters in a valley where magic and spiritual energy don't work}}.

** Also, when {{spoiler|Nagi badgers Arika to tell him how ''she '' feels, she, distraught, blurts out that "in the entirety of these two long years, not a day has passed in which I did not think of you! Well?! Is there something wrong with that?!" ...And Nagi simply smiles, warmly replies "No. Not a thing", and pulls her close and kisses her}}. If I wasn't a guy, I'd [[Squee]] at this.

*** Heck I ''am'' a guy, and I ''did'' [[Squee]] at this.

* Chapter 279. I can't elaborate too much outside of spoiler tags, but [[Cry Cute|we really get to see Chisame's more emotional side.]] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v31/c279/14.html For those who are following along, this is the page.]

* We can't forget chapter 248 now can we? After [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|all of the most awesome events that had happened]] with Negi {{spoiler|fighting against Rakan, Negi reminded Rakan of Nagi himself, even though they have opposing personalities.}}

* [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v31/c282/10.html Recent Chapter 282]: {{spoiler|Negi praises Nodoka for her efforts in her fight with Dynamis, considering her to be a valuable comrade and great adventurer.}}

* In Chapter 82, when Setsuna says that Negi is her savior (being a wingman for her inevitable relationship with Konoka, and gaining her a [[Heterosexual Life Partner]] in Asuna), and that he's a special person to her. She then pledges to always come to his aid whenever need be, [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v10/c082/16.html AWWWWWWW!!]

* Chapter 335: some of the reunion scenes after everyone who was erased were resurrected.

* Chapter 340 somehow manages to be both a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] ''and'' a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] at the same time! On one hand, the sheer exuberance of {{spoiler|Ayaka kissing Negi}} is so over the top you can't help but laugh - [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v37/c340/14.html as Chamo points out], "His eyes are rolling back! He's twitching-!! what kind of [[Power of Love]] is this-?!" And yet, the fact that {{spoiler|Ayaka's power of love was so great as to have that kind of effect is a very sweet recognition of a character normally relegated to the [[Over and Under the Top|comedic]].}}

** This chapter also contains a beautiful [[Friendship Moment]] between Asuna and Ayaka: Ayaka thanks Asuna for keeping the promise she made before going to Magic World. Asuna thinks she is talking about keeping Negi safe, but Ayaka corrects her, saying that she knew from the start that Negi will be fine, and that she's happy that Asuna managed to return safe as well.

* The updated class roster in chapter 351 has a dozen crowning moments at least, but the the label on Setsuna's picture "Konoka-san's partner and mine." In so few words it says how deeply Negi values her.

** And all of chapter 351, 7 pages of heartwarming, 6 Pages of bittersweet, 5 pages of tearjerker.

** {{spoiler|Just in case it hadn't been made clear that Asuna and Ayaka were best friends, it's revealed that Ayaka lived to be 115 ''[[Determinator|through sheer willpower]]'' just so she could see Asuna again. [[Tear Jerker|It's really a shame that Asuna overslept.]]}}

*** {{spoiler|And then Evangeline and [[Chekhov's Gunman|Chao]] show up.}} [[Cliff Hanger|Fffffffff...]]
