Sailor Moon is rife with these moments.

• Classic Series:
  • Nephrite and Naru's final moments go between this and Tear Jerker.
  • Yuuichirou defending Rei from a youma. "If it's for you, Miss Rei, I wouldn't mind dying!"
  • Sailor Moon successfully is able to de-brainwash Tuxedo Kamen and their touching last moments.
  • The four inner senshi's spirits comforting a defeated Usagi after all dying for her. "Cheer up..."
  • All of the Sailor Senshi's spirits come together and give Sailor Moon the courage to finally defeat Queen Beryl once and for all.

• The R season:
  • Naru talking to Usagi one last time before getting Brother Chuck'd, implying that she's know her friends secret the whole time.
  • Ami's third focus episode, in which she refuses to believe that her friends would ever turn against her.
  • Usagi and Mamoru finally getting back together.
  • Saphir's death at Wiseman's hands...actually, heck, almost all of episode 86 had Heartwarming, Heroic Sacrifice and Tear Jerker moments in spades. This troper admits that (besides crying every time while watching it) she has never before been so disappointed by a character death OR the death of a wonderful pairing-to-be. Saphir/Petz was not only implied...it was pretty much downright stated before Saphir was killed
  • Prince Dimande's Heroic Sacrifice by Taking the Bullet for Sailor Moon.
  • The final episode and this exchange between Usagi and Chibi-Usa.

Chibi-Usa: Thanks for everything, Mom.

• • The scene at the end of Chibiusa's debut episode, as Usagi tucks her into bed. Usagi recognises that she's been through tough times just like her and says that, "If only you'd told me everything up front, I could have helped you." It speaks a lot to Usagi's compassion that no matter how much she had irritated her by invading her life Dawn Summers-style, she never would have hesitated to protect her.
  • Almost any scene where Usagi and Chibiusa don't fight and get along is a minor Heartwarming Moment.

• The R movie:
  • The entire last ten minutes go back and forth between this, Crowning Moment of Awesome, and Tear Jerker.

• Other seasons:
  • Almost every Chibi-Usa and Hotaru interaction is a CMOH.
  • Chibi-usa and Helios' developing romance in Super S is also very heartwarming. Especially the scene where Helios tries to leave out of fear of endangering her, and she holds onto him, refusing to let him disappear. Her absolutely heartbroken look and her crying pushes this into major Tear Jerker territory as well.

Chibi-usa: You said you needed me! You said you needed the power of my dreams! I won't ever let you go!

• • Michiru, to Haruka: "You have beautiful hands!"
  • The very end of the Nehelnia arc where everything has returned to normal for her and she's reverted back to a child. She's about to go to bed when she turns around and quietly asks her servants, "Will someone please read me a bedtime story?" Then one of the unseen servants says, "Yes, it would be my pleasure."
  • Minako and Yaten's conversation in the backstage of the Idol Singer contest. Yaten tries to reprehend Minako for getting herself in when she should be only fighting for the universe, but Minako turns the tables on him and says that even when she wants to save the world, she should not forget her own dreams in the process. Way to go, Mina-P!
  • The very last episode of Sailor Stars. Specifically, the scene where Usagi, having defeated the Chaos, is floating in the skies, alone. She starts crying because she is lonely without her Nakama who were all killed by Galaxia... and suddenly, a familiar voice tells her that she is not alone... Then, after all the senshi reappeared, somebody calls out "Usako...". Usagi's reaction to Mamoru's voice and her flying into his arms, in tears...
