Heartwarming / .hack//Legend of the Twilight

• The entire reason Shugo and Rena are playing The World: Rena bought two copies and gave one to Shugo so they could be together after their parents' separation.
  • Their first meeting when they reunite within the game.
  Shugo: Whoa! Could you be, Rena. My little twin sister, Rena? Is it you?
  Rena: (with a smile) Bingo!
  • Aura's first appearance in the series, which involves reviving Shugo with a Magic Kiss.
  • When Balmung arrives to help, he warns Shugo to stay out of the fight because the monster is too strong for him to fight. Shugo adamantly refuses, knowing Rena is still in danger.
  Balmung: Just keep back, you're no match for this one!
  Shugo: My little sisters' in trouble, and I'm gonna do nothing?!
• Episode 2 "Kite's Bracelet", Shugo and Rena fondly reminiscing about watching the cherry blossoms blooming back when they were little kids.
  • Shugo's ecstatic reaction upon meeting a dog, though the "dog" in question is later revealed to be a fellow player by the name Ouka.
  Shugo: (happily hugs the "dog") I want one!
• In episode 3 "The Phoenix Feather", Shugo and Hotaru both come across the girl from .hack//Sign with another sick Grunty. But unlike Tsukasa before them, Shugo and Hotaru manage to find the item needed to cure the Grunty, and the others come in to chew out the girl for leaving him when he was sick.
  • Hotaru trying to reason with the monsters attacking her and Shugo. While foolish, it shows she has a kind heart.
  Hotaru: (shields Shugo) Stop! A Grunty is going to die without our help. Please let us pass, for its sake!
• Episode 4, when Shugo learns that Hotaru can't swim. He risks allowing Komiyan getting to Rena first and winning the event. Just to make sure Hotaru safely gets back to the shore.
• During the final battle, just as Shugo is about to Data Drain (and therefor kill) the A.I. creature Morti. One of the hackers who created her tries to protect her, by jumping in the line of fire. Shugo had already activated the bracelets' ability and can't stop it. So Morti takes it upon herself to shield her creator, getting deleted in the process. Just goes to show that even a monster like Morti can care.
  • Once the final fight is over and Morti is gone. Shugo and Rena are finally reunited. Unfortunately, the final trap set by the hackers is engaged. In the end Shugo and Rena unlock the true power of the bracelet that Aura gave Shugo and together they manage to save "The World" from deletion.
