Shadow Hearts/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In the original game, Alice and Zhuzhen liberate Bistritz with the help of Keith. The little girl, Nina, is reunited with her mother, and everyone discovers that Nina's "special item" is not gold dust, but cross-pollinated seeds that will be able to grow in the town's harsh soil.
  • Shadow Hearts: Covenant, a game already full of Crowning Moments of Awesome and Crowning Moments of Funny falls into this category with Lenny. Revealed to be Not Quite Dead at the end of the game, he wanders around the world to help people, teaching math skills to a thief to give him the skills to get a real job, helping old ladies, and so forth. Evidently Rousseau Was Right.
    • Lenny's responsible for another one in From The New World; if you talk to him after you visit the Gate, you not only get Johnny's ultimate armor, but he reveals the depths of his devotion:

Lenny: Although it is presumptuous of me, I plan on living another fifty years, so don't die just yet.
Johnny: Another fifty years?!?
Lenny: Yes. Until I hold your grandchild in my arms, I have no intention of dying.

    • While the second playthrough of Covenant is mostly just creepier/funnier thanks to the complicated family relationships revealed at the end, the very first scene actually gets more meaning if you remember how Yuri's mother died right before his eyes when he was a kid. Perhaps it wasn't just the pretty face that moved him.
    • The Good Ending of New World. There's just something about Johnny and Shania both headed out on a new case, smiling at each other as they open the door, as Best Friends For Life (or maybe more than just friends?).
    • "I'll protect them both...I'll protect Shania. And the world!"
  • Koudelka and Edward in the first ending when She reveals that her gypsy name (Zslato) means treasure
