Heartwarming / Dragon Ball Multiverse

Go To

  • Universe 6: Yeah, Bojack killed the Z-Fighters, but seeing them reunited in the Other World is touching.
  • Universe 9 Yamcha forfeiting against universe 14 Android 18 to convince her of his good intentions, since he realized that she and her brother actually need help to repair themselves or soon they'll start to break down. He seems to think he can get them to Heel–Face Turn as well.
  • Chapter 26, page 579. Vegeta, disgusted after Pan considers dropping out of the tournament, scolds her and reminds her that she is descended from Goku and Gohan (and insulting Goten, Trunks and Bra for not being true fighters). Pan agrees, and Vegeta encourages her to utterly massacre U13 Kakarot.
    • Vegeta got another (smaller) one two pages earlier. After knocking out U12 Trunks, instead of acting like a douche and insulting his son for losing (as he probably would have at any point other than the end of canon), he catches Trunks as he falls unconscious and carries him back over to the U12 area. He even gives his son a very brief compliment. Doesn't sound like much, but for Vegeta, that's huge.
    • Page 1055: Vegeta nailing in how far he has come, finally calling Son Goku by his Earth name, after utterly thrashing U13!Kakarot !
    • Before that, an indirect one also going very far to acknowledge Vegeta's Character Development: in Page 1046 when Babidi acknowledges he can't sense evil in U18!Vegeta anymore.
  • Inevitable when the wish to revive all those who had been killed in the tournament is used, since that means U16 Pan is reunited with her family. Seeing Tidar and Syd back, whom are both being greeted by their happy comrades, is nice too.
  • Page 1517, when U16!Gohan saves U18!Videl that had to run away from Nappa, and nearly got killed. Crosses over with a funny moment, when Gohan who got smooched has to awkwardly explain that he's not "her" Gohan.
  • When the U19 fighters reveal their motives for fighting in the tournament (restore their planet after its carbonite infection and prevent it from destroying the universe), Goku and the remaining U16 and U18 fighters unconditionally promise to fulfil their wish if either of their competitors were to win. As much of a bitch Bra can be, she doesn't even hesitate to tell Eleim she'll do it, and she's openly determined to do it.
  • Universe 7: Gast finding some form of peace even though he is the Last of His Kind.
  • Universe 11: Finally showing us that without the threat of Cell, Androids 16, 17 and 18 would reform on their own and blend in quite well with the group, because they are not the killing machines from Trunks' future this time around.
  • Universe 12: Trunks deciding to repair Android 16, and him accepting to help rebuild his world.
  • Universe 13: Despite them being vile mass murderers, the relationship between Raditz and Kakarot is rather shockingly sweet when you see their backstory special, in which Raditz acts a lot like a Big Brother Mentor, and how Kakarot nearly sacrificed himself to protect Raditz. Even when bargaining with the Old Kai to get a power-up that will allow him to kill Vegeta and Nappa, Raditz outright refuses to kill his brother.
  • Universe 16: All the trouble everyone has gone through to save Vegetto and allow him to not starve to death.
  • A subtle one, but after Vegetto's creation in Universe 16, Trunks tells Vegetto that he isn't his father right to his face. By the time of the tournament, he seems to have changed his mind.
  • The Universe 9's brief recap of the events of the beginning of Dragon Ball without Goku has Grandpa Gohan accompanying Bulma in her trip to gather the Dragon Balls. On his way, he's shown reuniting with his old friends Roshi and the Ox King.
  • Universe 4: In spite of his nonchalantly slaughtering anyone who asks a wish that he doesn't deem worthy of granting, Zen Buu still shows a fair bit of compassion that his canon counterpart never would have. Up to and including sparing Videl and simply sending her back to Earth in spite of his annoyance at her constantly demanding he bring back everyone he absorbed on Earth (which would obviously cost him his Godlike powers), giving Hirudegarn a Mercy Kill upon noticing that his own existence causes him suffering, and reviving Tapion's brother without even a second thought when asked.
    • In the novelization, its shown that Buu still regards Satan as his closest friend, a sentiment which the World Champ shares. When Buu returns after exploring the cosmos for a little while to visit Satan, the man is overjoyed that the one true friend he ever had had returned to see him. In fact, he is literally brought to tears by the fact and even goes so far as to embrace Buu. Taken aback, the Djinn asks why Satan is glad to see him, having expected the man to be utterly terrified of him. In response, Satan states that he had always known that Buu had changed for the better and was still his friend. Needless to say, Buu was deeply touched.
  • U16!Bra's core motive for rejecting the Majinization and finally mastering her SS2 state? She doesn't want to overcome Vegito anymore, she wants to become stronger than U18!Bra!
    • Also U16!Gotenks giving in a good word in defense of Bra.
  • Oddly enough, the final fate of Universe 11 come chapter 79: a freed Dabura and U11 Buu return to the Demon Realm to live Happily Ever After as Heterosexual Life-Partners, complete with Buu joyfully getting his own dog, Cerberus. D'awwwwww.
  • In Chapter 90, Bra's reasons for forfeiting her match with Gast. She explains that she is weak against magic. And if she beat Gast, she would then have to fight XII. Whom she's not even sure she could beat in a straight fight. While she knows that Gast would honor her request to use a wish to help the people of Universe 19, XII would likely not do the same. Bra's decision even moves Phipsil, who thanks her for putting her pride aside for the sake of her world. This also prompts Pan to at least reconsider, for a second, that Bra has evolved because of the whole Majin Rebellion incident, and was maybe really not truly herself when Drunk on the Dark Side because of Babidi.
  • After a hard fought semi-final battle by both Goku and Vegeta, with both left bloody and with most of their bones probably broken, Goku emerges victorious. Not only is everyone from their universe satisfied and thrilled, with Goku's family happily cheering for him while Trunks applauds and Bra comments it was still close, their fight also inspired many of the other participants as well. Also, a Namekian heals both Goku and Vegeta afterwards, and Goku offers his hand to Vegeta. Vegeta takes it with a smile, both rivals satisfied. The next page has the two of them commenting on their battle, like what they should name this new form of theirs, discussing their tactics during the fight and what they need to improve on, and of course when they'll fight again.
