History Heartwarming / SouthParkTheStickOfTruth

** Butters also has become the favorite team mate among many players, both because of his personality and also being very effective in combat.

** Kenny keeps fishing for likes on Facebook, posting "Who's the fairest of them all?" wall posts. He gets tons of likes ''instantly.''

** Another good example of this is seen in the final boss fight [[spoiler: with Nazi Zombie Princess Kenny, at the start of the fight, Cartman simply stands by the sidelines and says a single line of encouragement to the New Kid, but once all the other party members exhaust themselves countering Princess Kenny's most powerful attacks, Cartman immediately takes the place of the other party members to help the New Kid with the fight, showing that while Cartman doesn't want to risk his own skin, he at least cares enough about the New Kid that he doesn't want him to have to fight Kenny on his own.]]

* At the final battle, Kyle will use Ike in order to [[spoiler:stop Nazi Zombie Princess Kenny from healing himself.]] After the attack is done Ike runs off crying and Kyle ''immediately'' runs after him to comfort him.

* Butters [[ThrowTheDogABone appears to have some fans]] among the Kindergarteners: one of them tells you that they want to be a hero when they grow up, "just like Paladin Butters!"

-->'''Henrietta:''' Make yourself at home. You're safe here.

* It's pretty sweet that even though [[spoiler: Clyde is making an evil army of the dead, when the boys confront him, they're more concerned (correctly) he's dealing with something far too dangerous. And even though Clyde and his army of darkness are the "evil" one's of the game, Kyle still refers to them as "our friends." However, they seem to drop it after [[MoralEventHorizon what he did to Chef]], not batting an eye over Cartman [[DisneyVillainDeath pushing him down his fortress]].]]

* After [[spoiler: the New Kid tells the gang off and leaves]], for any given reason, it's nice and sweet to see him playing with Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, Jimmy, and Butters again the following day, suggesting that they made up and are still friends. [[spoiler:It's something that gets carried over to ''[[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole The Fractured But Whole]]'', where the New Kid can play superheroes with Stan, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, Jimmy, and Butters, along with other characters who were merely [=NPCs=], even ones who were enemies during the main story.]]

** And while this may be just a form of GameplayStorySegregation, Cartman's treatment toward the New Kid remains the same even if you pick the Jew class, or customize the New Kid as a black kid, or a ginger, or any other minorities Cartman is usually bigoted towards. You know The New Kid's doing something right if Cartman thinks he's awesome enough for him to deliberately put aside his discriminatory views to treat him with respect.
* If you end up fighting Stan and take out his dog Sparky first, he'll cry "No, no, NO!"... and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge get an Attack Up]].

* The player character's mom is a really nice woman, and one of the sweetest moments is when she tucks your character in after their first day in town.

* After years of taking crap and being beaten up by his sister, both the player and Stan can finally get some payback and beat the ever loving shit out of Shelly. And yes, it is as sweet as it sounds.
** Bonus points if you don't just immediately slay Shelly with a summon (she's not considered a boss, even though she's incredibly tanky and has REALLY good attacks) and get the last strike as Stan.
** Even better, after the New Kid defeats Shelly, while she starts off being clearly pissed off and frustrated about losing, once the New Kid returns to her after the fight, he'll find Shelly has cooled off and [[DefeatMeansFriendship she admits to the New Kid he's earned her respect]]:
-->'''Shelly''': [[WorthyOpponent You're still a turd, but at least you don't hit like a girl.]]

* As a whole, the New Kid's overall journey throughout South Park may be one of the franchises biggest examples of EarnYourHappyEnding. Think about it: this kid starts out moving to a new town and suddenly is told by his parents to go out and make friends (and is even straight-up forced to by his dad if you delay going outside long enough) and the New Kid is then drafted into a LARP game by Cartman and ends up spending most of his time doing just what the people in town tell him to do. But after going through several different flavors of hell, the New Kid eventually finds himself having befriended the majority of people in South Park, with almost every kid in town wanting him to hang out with them, most of the adults treating him with a high amount of respect and friendliness, and even getting some friends in high places in Canada. [[spoiler: There's still the concern of whether the U.S Government will go after him again, which may be explored in [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole The Fractured But Whole]], but even if that doesn't get addressed, the New Kid has grown powerful enough by the end to the point that he can now hold his own against most of what they could send after him, and even if he can't fight them off on his own, he's made some very powerful friends more than capable of helping him out and the 4 main boys themselves have experience outwitting government agents, ensuring that he at least has some protection in case the government makes another attempt to capture him.]]

** As a whole, Cartman's relationship with the New Kid as a whole may be one of his biggest PetTheDog moments in the franchise's history, he takes in a kid who starts out with no friends and no memory of his past and has him become essentially their LARP game's main hero (which already says a lot, [[AttentionWhore if you consider the type of guy]] [[ItsAllAboutMe Cartman usually is,]] ) and doing what he can to make the New Kid feel welcome in town, with Cartman only playing the Mentor until the later half of the game where he becomes available as a party member. While Kyle suspects Cartman just sees the New Kid as an unwitting trump card, even if that was the case, Cartman clearly providing the New Kid with a lot of incentive to make him want to stay on his side.

** It helps that the buff is called "Stan Is Mad As All Hell". He's legitimately upset about.

* Ike can be found playing pirates in the playground behind the street the boys live on. If Stan or Kyle is with the New Kid as he walks through the park, they'll both greet Ike with "Ahoy, Maple Beard!"

** The New Kid also has a decent moment with Butters during his idle animation, where he pulls out his phone and starts fiddling with it, might not seem like much at first, but when Butters is around, he will verbally respond, revealing that the New Kid was texting and tweeting Butters to communicate with him, even texting to Butters asking for his number. This gives an indicator that Butters may be the only party member (possibly even the the only friend in general) that the New Kid is comfortable giving any friendly communication toward, aww....

** A blink and you'll miss it moment; when fighting against [[spoiler:Nazi Zombie Princess Kenny]] one of the special attacks involves [[spoiler:summoning the Unicorn as a Nazi zombie. Stan decapitate's its head if the attack is performed successfully, and afterwards looks guilt-ridden for killing an animal.]] Trey and Matt did not forget he's a FriendToAllLivingThings.
