• In the first episode, Ignis fully intended on [sacrificing himself or going on the run forever to stop the Knights of Hanoi from destroying the rest of the Cyberse. And from what we know, Ignis wasn't liked by the rest of the Cyberse, meaning he was willing to do this even for people who likely treated him terribly.
• It's subtle, but the way Shoichi looks out for Yusaku, believing what he says about "sensing things" and shutting down his business for a day to help him program is kinda sweet.
• Go returns to his gym after being defeated by Playmaker and wonders how he's ever going to face the children of the orphanage after that loss. Then the light turn on and we see the children applauding Go for his exciting match. Despite what Go thought before, the children still see him as their champion and hand him their home-made champion's belt, which Go accepts with a wide grin. Some shots after it even show him happily playing with the children, his spirits clearly lifted after being so down and angry before.
• Go Onizuka would have made Yuya proud with his entertainment dueling style. By the end, Yusaku was enjoying their duel, even if his stoic nature doesn't allow him to change expressions.
• Yusaku falling for an obvious trap because it gives him a chance to help Aoi.
• Akira getting very emotional after Aoi wakes up from her coma, relieved that she is okay.
  • Also, when Yusaku leaves link VRAINS, he asks Shoichi whether or not Aoi is alright.
• In 16 Aoi stopped attending school after recovering form her coma and Yusaku is worried that she doesnt attend school reguralry and hasnt shown up in LINK VRAINS since her duel with him he went around the school to see if she is there and even asked Naoki what happend to her.This shows Yusaku is still caring and selfless underneth his icy

cold nature

• A double one in episode 17: Zaizen ready to drop the mission immediately for the sake of Aoi, and Ghost Girl stopping him and telling him that he should trust her ability to take care of herself.
• Akira, after looking into the Data Banks on the Lost Incident now wants to help Playmaker return to a normal life. While Playmaker obviously isn't having any of this, Akira's intentions are pure and knowing what kind of background he already has, Akira will shoulder Playmaker's issues as well.
• As if to respond to him in kind, Playmaker has his Firewall Dragon, whom at the end of the duel is allowed to direct attack, send Tindagle Hound and Tindangle Angel from the graveyard back to his hand thus Tindangle Acute Cerebus would go to 0 and he still attacked it anyways, even though he could always bounce Acute Cerebus back to the Extra Deck giving him a direct attack opportunity as well. He reason he did it this way? Tindangle Hound and Tindangle Angel represent Akira and Aoi, thus in his eyes they shouldn't be in the graveyard. And while Akira did want to stop Playmaker's revenge, he says that Akira still has a light in his life and that he shouldn't follow him into the darkness.
• Go's friendship with Makoto; defending him from bullies when they were younger and despite being opposites they got along well.
• Yusaku showing a great deal of concern for Go during his duel with Dr. Genome and eventually going off to help him.
