Line 6:
** Even more heartwarming is when you take into account Piruja is the only character to be constantly kind and friendly to him when everybody else [[Jerkass|understandably]] didn't care or hated his guts (Even [[Gadgeteer Genius|Frank]] had ulterior motives in befriending him and told him point blank he's [[The Friend Nobody Likes]])
* Even taking into account his ulterior motives and [[The Gadfly|gadfly]] demeanor, Frank trying to be friendly to Victor and getting him into his gang despite them (
{{quote|'''Frank''': Look, Von Pijo, if I helped you is because, upon seeing you, I realized that, [[Spoiled Brat|just]] [[Small Name, Big Ego|as]] [[Jerkass|you]] [[Narcissist|were]], [[All of the Other Reindeer|you wouldn't be friends with anybody in school]]. ''Everything'', from the bet to the challenges, I made it so [[True Companions|my gang]] would meet you and you'd fit in, [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|you idiot]]. Don't you see that if you [[Loners Are Freaks|stay alone]], you'll be [[The Bully|the bullies]]' '''[[The Chew Toy|favourite victim?!]]'''}}
* When he hears of [[You Dirty Rat|Rattus Sapiens]]' [[Evil Plan]], Victor doesn't care if Villa Susto in its entirety gets poisoned, but [[Oh Crap|gets extremely concerned]] when he realizes [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|his family]] will drink the poisoned water, so he tries to get out of the sewers to alert them. Given his otherwise strained relationship with them, it's quite the [[Pet the Dog]] moment.
* Frank's friends, [[Deadpan Snarker|Lupo]] in particular, express disapproval over [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]] joining the gang, yet they go along with it regardless, since Frank is their [[True Companions|friend]] and [[The Leader|leader]]. It helps he gives Victor challenges to
* In Victor and Frank's conversation in the sewers, Frank tells him to come back and search for Piruja, so he finally could be part of the Gang. This leads to an hilarious (and adorable)
{{quote|'''Victor''': ''*to Frank*'' So annoying! Don't you see I don't wanna find her?
''*Piruja's croacs sound in the sewers*''
Line 35:
* When Frank has an [[Tender Tears|emotional breakdown]] over the aforementioned rejection, both [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]] and [[The Big Guy|Momses]] quickly go to comfort him, and defend him when [[Gang of Bullies|Morty's gang]] [[Kick the Dog|laugh at him]] for this.
* Frank and Gus' brotherly relationship is one of the most heartwarming in the entire comic, and it shows there at full force. Gus [[Big Brother Worship|adores and idolizes]] Frank greatly, enthusiastically telling Miss Hit how much of an honor is sitting with him in class while complimenting him. When Victor tries to take over as leader, Gus is the most [[Berserk Button|outraged]] at this, and immediately joins Frank in investigating the disappearances. It goes around the other way, too: Is [[Word of God|pretty much stated]] Gus is Frank's best friend and, rather than putting him in danger, [[Big Brother Instinct|tells Gus to call the police and stay away from the conflict to protect him while the rest of the Gang goes to stop Miss Hit personally]]. Seriously, these two [[Heterosexual Life Partners|really care for one another]].
* Frank, despite being annoyed at Lupo's [[Sleepyhead|constant sleepiness]], shows he cares a lot for him when he made him a security belt for his narcolepsy as a school project. This gets even more heartwarming when at the end {{spoiler|Lupo was the only one who managed to pass the
* [[Jerkass|Victor]] has spent the entirety of the album being a jackass [[The Starscream|starscream]]-wannabe. After the reveal of {{spoiler|the whole [[Jekyll and Hyde|Henrietta/Miss Hit]] trainwreck}}, you would think [[Dirty Coward|he]] would just go back home and get out of this, especially after being utterly humiliated. [[OOC Is Serious Business|Instead]], he joins Frank, Lupo and Piruja in stopping Miss Hit and rescue everyone. Granted, he's still abrasive as always, but the fact [[It's All About Me|he]] '''willingly''' joined to help his [[With Friends Like These...|disliked]] friends to save people he doesn't give a crap ''for no reason whatsoever'', it's an incredibly powerful [[Pet the Dog]] moment. Maybe he's [[Hidden Heart of Gold|not so bad]] after all...
Line 44:
* At the end of the album, {{spoiler|after Frank saves her, Henrietta sends him a photo of her as thanks. Frank himself ''tried'' to give her a gift: A Perfeccionator-ized butterfly.}} Aaaww...
** {{spoiler|Sadly, it's rejected by her dad due to her [[Ill Girl]] status, but his sister Francesca (whom they've spent bickering all this time) compensates by giving him a photo of her brother. While snarky about it, it's nice to see her caring for her little brother.}}
** {{spoiler|And what does Frank with the butterfly? He gives it to Piruja to compensate for using her potion (which was her project) to save Henrietta.}} Again: Aaaww...
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending|The ending]]. Just... the ending. {{spoiler|After going through a [[Trauma Conga Line|particularly exhausting]] [[Break the Cutie]] process, Frank ultimately saves Henrietta and the others from Miss Hit, getting compensation for it. Most importantly, he manages to accept himself thanks to the truth mirror Lupo gave him. The [[Tears of Joy]] he sheds upon seeing the mirror not breaking by his reflection is something to behold.}} It definitely counts as this trope, especially considering {{spoiler|the previous album's [[Played for Laughs|hilarious]] [[Cruel Twist Ending]].}}
Line 59:
* In "Los Sustitutos the Chopped" (Chopped's Replacements), the Frank's Gang playing with Chopped at the beginning.
* In "Lupo y sus Hermanos" (Lupo's Siblings), Momses goes to Lupo's house to play outside, only to find out he can't due to him taking care of his younger siblings. What does he do? He helps him
** Also, his younger siblings wanting to play with Momses. The fact they're [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|cute little wolves]] only makes this more adorable.
** Also, seeing Lupo acting like a responsible older brother with them. Of course, [[Sleepyhead|he falls asleep soon afterwards]], and his little siblings have to take care of him instead. It's heartwarming regardless.
* In "Los Inventos de Frank" (Frank's Inventions), we get a brief one when Lupo kindly tells Victor to relax and take things more calmly like him. It's heartwarming because, unlike most of his interactions with him, this one
** And as expected, you can guess [[Sleepyhead|what happens next]].
Line 71:
** Later, he tries to find a game they could play together. Too bad she doesn't make it easy due to her [[Ill Girl|ridiculously low health]]. {{spoiler|[[Super Powered Evil Side|Miss Hit]] just makes it worse.}}
* Almost the entire "¿Cuál es tu lugar favorito de Villa Susto?" (Where is your
** This is repeated in a later story involving them playing with [[LocoRoco|LocoRocos]].
* In "Cambio Radical" (Wild Makeover), [[Perky Goth|Guillotine]] helping [[Cute Witch|Piruja]] in flirting with Victor by giving her a makeover. It fails, though.
** Hell,
* In "La Niña Invisible" (Invisible Girl), [[Gang of Bullies|Morty's Gang]]'s member Mienai awkwardly begs Lupo for help to find his little sister. After much reluctance, Lupo accepts. Cue his little siblings happily telling him [[Big Brother Worship|how kind is their older brother and how much he cares for others]]. Pity Lupo blows this up by [[Sleepyhead|falling asleep]], [[Running Gag|as usual]].
Line 85:
* In "La Prima de Victor" (Victor's Cousin), at the end, we see '''[[Redheaded Bully|Quasim]]''' being ''friendly'' with Victor's cousin Dayana after seeing her [[Stylistic Suck]] drawings. You can pick your jaw over the floor now.
* In "Colgado por Piruja" (Crazy over Piruja), Guillotine helps Piruja again to get Victor to invite her to the school dance. In this case, though, she does this a bit more differently. [[Crosses the Line Twice|As in "tying Victor to a tree with a horde of hungry alligators waiting" kind of differently.]]
== El Gran Partido de Calabacesto (The Great Pumpkinball Match) ==
* When Victor shows up to the gang, Gus enthusiastically gives him the Fresita (Strawberry) Team uniform, clearly considering him part of the team. Unfortunately, Victor [[Kick the Dog|rejects it]], gleefully stating [[Face Heel Turn|he's on the "Muerte Chunga" (Morty's Gang) side now]].
*
* Billy welcoming Morty's Gang into his home (the town dump). We even get to see him with his younger sister Milly happily leaving to classify the dirt! {{spoiler|Which makes [[No Good Deed Goes Unpunished|what happens to him]] all the more [[Tear Jerker|heartbreaking]].}}
Line 96:
* Frank [[Shut Up Hannibal|shutting Skin up]] for insulting Lupo's [[Sleepyhead]] behavior.
*
* When personally making their fifth member, Gus and Momses make the doll to be a girl, being perfectly happy with a girl on their team. Making this more heartwarming is [[Cute Witch|Piruja]] [[Five Second Foreshadowing|arriving just in time to join the gang]].
* Frank reacting with [[Big Yes|utter joy]] when Piruja comes back to serve as the team's fifth member.
Line 122 ⟶ 124:
* At the beginning, seeing Piruja and Henrietta form a [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]] is incredibly sweet.
* Frank may be [[Out of Focus]] in this album, but his
** He's willing to help [[Spoiled Brat|Victor]] deal with Chopped despite his [[Jerkass|dickishness]] {{spoiler|and previous betrayal}}, even if said help backfires as usual.
** He's incredibly patient and understanding of Lupo's [[Sleepyhead|sleep issues]], making him a special alarm clock and sweetly waking him up when he falls asleep again.
Line 144 ⟶ 146:
** At the end, {{spoiler|Henrietta is sad because she couldn't use the mandrake. Frank tells her not to worry, since he has started to like Miss Hit a bit too.}} Aaww...
* [[Fiery Redhead|Miss Hit]] has come a long way since her debut. {{spoiler|She goes [[Leeroy Jenkins]] on [[The Hunter|Flan Helsing's]] ass while calling the Frank's Gang her friends (while she previously tried to brainwash them), and has gone from hating Frank to sharing Henrietta's crush on him, to the point of getting offended when he said he only liked her
* After seeing that Lupe has lost her doll, {{spoiler|Piruja gives her the Snow Mandrake as a replacement.}}
Line 164 ⟶ 166:
* A Christmas-themed drawing used to announce a ¡Dibus! toy features Victor, Frank and Piruja in their Christmas costumes happily playing with it. Bonus points for Victor proving again [[When She Smiles|he truly is capable of smiling and having fun with his friends]].
* The "Todo Minimonsters"'s extra drawings frequently portray Frank's Gang in usually weird situations. While always hilarious, it's adorable seeing all the six characters ([[Spoiled Brat|Victor]], [[Gadgeteer Genius|Frank]], [[Cute Witch|Piruja]], [[Sleepyhead|Lupo]], [[The Cutie|Gus]] and [[Lovable Jock|Momses]]) together as a group. [http://www.uiardejapis.es/autores/r/ramirez_david/3x3/2.jpg This image] in particular shows the whole group as [[True Companions|close-knit friends]] who
