History Heartwarming / CardcaptorSakura

* In hindsight, Syaoran and Meiling's treatment as whole. They are essentially [[CommanderContrarian cynical and temperamental intruders]] in an idealised Suetopia, archetypes that are usually isolated and [[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong constantly told they are wrong]]. Despite this Sakura and Tomoyo always trust them and treat them kindly. They constantly invite them to tag along in fun past times and social events and any contribution they make they make sure they get gratitude and praise for it. The two are never demanded to change how they feel or keep their opinions to themselves, they are won over solely with love and kindness.

*** As an added bonus, the understated way you can ''tell'' Toya is good for both Yukito and Yue: when Touya comments on how Yue is alike Yukito that's the ''moment'' where you can see that it won't be Sakura who gets him. Why? Because Sakura can't see the similarities, but Touya is more than willing to accept ALL of Yukito/Yue.

--->'''Yue (paraphrased):''' You know, you'll have to give up your SixthSense to do it. You won't be able to see your mother anymore.\\

** And when she finally grabs it, she hugs it tight and nurtures it until it stops struggling, eventually calming and licking Sakura before obediently returning to it's card. Even non-sapient beasts acknowledge Sakura's kindness.

* The beginning of Volume 10 of the manga and in episode 65, right after the power transfer. Yue hears Sakura crying; she blames herself for not realizing that Yukito/Yue was disappearing and for not being powerful enough to support him. Yue, who had originally told her she was too weak to be the master of the Clow Cards, kneels down to comfort her and tell her that it's only natural and not her fault that she's not as strong as Clow was.

* The ending of episode 22 of the anime. Sakura spent most of the episode trying to help out with chores so that her dad could finish her research paper, but upon capturing the card of the week, she accidentally breaks his computer, resulting in all that work being lost. A defeated Sakura is left TakingTheFall and breaks down sobbing at letting him down. And yet her dad is not angry, but takes her home to cheer her up. The next day, he even decides to stay home to work rather than go to his university office and reaffirms that with Sakura's help, they can finish the paper together. Awwwww...What a nice guy!

Despite this Sakura and Tomoyo always trust them and treat them kindly, always inviting them to tag along in fun past times and social events. They are never demanded to change how they feel ([[DynamicCharacter they do that themselves]]), just be their friends and accept their inner feelings.

* Meiling, though arrogant and clingy, serves well as a MoralityPet and FanOfTheUnderdog to Syaoran in the anime. While Syaoran spent most of his time as TheRival to Sakura alone in the manga, Meiling assists and dotes over him endlessly in the anime. While he doesn't always enjoy this company, it's blatant from the start he cares about her very much, meaning from an earlier point we see he is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

* In episode 64, Syaoran makes one last attempt to play the cold, aloof act towards Sakura. She informs her it is far too late for that:

-->''[[LuminescentBlush *Syaoran turns bright red*]]''

* In episode 39, after Sakura is too sick to handle the card herself, Syaoran and Meiling provide a BigDamnHeroes moment. The card is granted to Syaoran who had to do most of the work, but he gives it to Sakura out of sympathy.

* Sakura and Syaoran share pinky promises in the last few episodes, just to show how playful and trusting their relationship has become.

* The part where Yamazaki is telling one of his stories about sloths to Syaoran...getting him to smile for the very first time in the series.

* The ending of the A''nime/CardCaptorSakura'' second movie. Awwwwwww!

** Spoiler-riddled elaboration: [[spoiler: Sakura finally corners the card and tries to change it, resigned to the fact that this will take away her feelings for Syaoran, even though she hasn't told him how she feels yet. As soon as she finishes the spell, the card chooses Syaoran to lose his feelings (he happens to make it in time for a HeroicSacrifice). He tells her it'll be alright, that he'll fall in love with her again. The card makes its move, and Sakura is left crying because Syaoran's feelings are gone. The new card, The Hope, tells her not to cry, that everything is okay. She dries her tears and tells Syaoran that she loves him. Its [[TearJerker totally heartbreaking,]] until Syoaran replies that he loves her, too. The card didn't take away his feelings after all! And then, the sun comes up and everything starts returning to normal. The cherry on top is when Sakura leaps across the hole in the floor and into Syaoran's arms shouting "I love you!"]] Oh yeah, just to make this even better is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqo7boxAO_Q Ashita e no Melody]] playing.
** As sweet as it was, this troper personally thought ending the anime adaption on that literal cliffhanger (as well as failing to detail Syaoran pemanently moving to Tomeda so as to prevent a LongDistanceRelationship) tainted it into more a BittersweetEnding.
** The cliffhanger of the ''The Sealed Card ending'' is averted ''with special mention'' by a [[SideStoryBonusArt special poster released along with the film]], showing Sakura [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110210042711/ccs/images/3/3d/Ccs26.jpg making the leap successfully right into Syaoran's arms]] in one most heartwarming moment in the whole series. And what [[http://ccs.sky-bound.org/gallery/details.php?image_id=57140 high ]] [[http://ccs.sky-bound.org/gallery/details.php?image_id=57141 resolution!]]. To be fair, it required ''researching the entire internet'' [[spoiler:(my fellow tropers, save yourself months of trouble, the light bulb has already been invented)]], but was well worth it.

* Nearly the entirety of Episode 67, after being comforted by Syaoran after being rejected by Yukito, Sakura is insistant on showing her thanks in some manner, devoting several sleepless nights to making him a scarf. In particular her shyly presenting him his gift (with Syaoran's [[LuminescentBlush expected reaction]]) is exceptionally touching. While most Sakura*Syaoran episodes were placed from Syaoran's perspective and his overwhelming infatuation with her, this takes place largely from Sakura's point of view, showing how greatly her opinion and relationship with Syaoran has changed, from an intimidating arrogant [[TheRival rival]] to a gentle close friend who's very presence tends to bring her happiness.
** That made me [[ManlyTears cry]], damnit. In a good way, of course.

Yue, who had originally told her she was too weak to be the master of the Clow Cards, kneels down to comfort her and tell her that it's only natural and not her fault that she's not as strong as Clow was.

-->'''Yue (paraphrased):''' You know, you'll have to give up your SixthSense to do it. You won't be able to see your mother anymore.
-->'''Touya:''' ''(calmly)'' It's not fair that I'm the only one who can see her anyway.

(The Light Card appears) \\
'''Sakura:''' Are you the Light Card? \\

'''Sakura:''' And now, you've been set free? \\
'''The Light:''' It was ''you'' who ''set'' me free when you didn't give up, even in the darkness. You acknowledged and released me. Here's a question: What can brighten the night sky and dispel the darkness? \\
'''Sakura''': Light!

** And when she finally grabs it, she hugs it tight and nurtures it until it stops struggling, eventually calming and licking Sakura before obediently returning to it's card. Even non sapient beasts acknowledge Sakura's kindness.

* Surely every time Tomoyo gets to sing has to be Heartwarming.

CardCaptorSakura is essentially a SweetDreamsFuel incarnate, expect to see a lot of sweet moments especially with Sakura and other characters.

* The ending of the Manga/CardcaptorSakura second movie. Awwwwwww!

* Out-of-universe, after the Tohou Earthquake in Japan. CLAMP released [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7SnQPYJPHk& a video]] with an illustration with Sakura and the song Platinum for the earthquake victims, ending with Sakura Tenge (Sakura's original voice actress) saying [[CatchPhrase "Zettai, daijoubu dayo!" ("Everything will surely be alright!")]]
* After having her voice stolen by the Voice card, Tomoyo is believed to be sick by her mother, who rushes home and dotes over her lovingly. Tomoyo gives a surprised reaction for a moment, before smiling and hugging her mother. Given Tomoyo often comes off a TheUnfavorite compared to Sakura (and seems to know it), it is nice to show that either way, her mother still loves her devotedly.
* After Fujitaka receives his rightful share of Clow Reed's powers from Eriol, he sees Nadeshiko's ghost. After a moment of shock they embrace for the first time in years.

* The ending of episode 57 where Syaoran, for the first time in his life calls [[SayMyName Sakura by her name when she falls off from the elevator]]. Sakura is so happy that after coming home, she requests that [[FirstNameBasis Syaoran be called by his first name instead of Li]], a name used only by his family. It is a clear sign of a RelationshipUpgrade between the two.
