Line 13:
** Episode 21 where {{spoiler|Rinatro tries to prevent Mayuri's death without returning to the original timeline only for her to die again when she prevents his death. As she dies in his arms yet again, she reaches up to the stars and says she's glad she was able to be useful to him.}}
*** Also, while at her grandmother's grave, {{spoiler|when it is revealed she can hazily recall each time she's been killed.}}
*Episode 22: after Okabe tries to [[Take a Third Option|take a third option]] to {{Spoiler|save Mayuri's life without undoing the first D-mail}}, Kurisu insists that he goes ahead with it, even if it means she will die as she did at the beginning. Realising this is his only option, what does Okabe do? He hugs her while having an internal monologue about how he never told her what was in his heart, how he truly felt about her.
* Episode 23: the revelation that {{Spoiler|Okabe was the one responsible for Kurisu's death in the first place. It's a harrowing scene for both of them: she's scared of dying, he's horrified that the girl he loves died in the first place because of him}}. It's a heart breaking scene to say the least.
*Another example overlapping with a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] is the last scene of episode 25. {{spoiler|"Close your eyes". Cut to black.}}
* In the film, a drunk Kurisu starts ranting and raving about some things Okabe told her while he was in the US, and is upset that despite telling her that he loved her, he didn't even send her a text message. Or even as little as an emoji. Again, the alcohol might have an influence here, but from her perspective, that must really sting a bit as she feels like he doesn't care about her.
**In retrospect, some drama CD's explore this a little; as funny as it is at points, one particular part of ''Sekimen Hissi no Gossip'' has Kurisu going off about how cold-hearted Okabe is for not keeping contact with her for nearly a year. She believes he still keeps up the chuuinbyou nonsense without caring about her feelings at all. It becomes clear to Moeka and Faris that she is indeed in love, despite her repeated denials. It's actually quite sad when you break it down.
*
** '''Kurisu:''' ''<tearfully> "Idiot! Can't you tell when a girl is
* This scene works well thanks to Trina Nishimura's acting here.
** '''Kurisu:''' ''<sobbing> "You bastard...
**'''Okabe:''' ''"I'm sorry..."''
**'''Kurisu:''' ''"It's not fair..."''
* Remember in Episode 22 of the series where Kurisu is cut off as she {{Spoiler|declares her love for Okabe the same way he did for her}}? Well, it happens again in the film, only this time we see it from her perspective. Her emotions are running wild as is, but being interrupted like that while Mayuri and Daru don't even know who she's talking about causes Kurisu to drop to her knees and sob uncontrollably as she summons every ounce of strength to even remember his name.
* After everyone remembers who Okabe is, Mayuri declares that while she doesn't who "Okarin" is, the name alone makes her feel warm. Overlaps as a heartwarming moment, too.
