Moment Subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned.
- In general we have Hayate and Freyja's close relationship throughout the series. While their initial relationship is closer to Vitriolic Best Buds, it becomes immediately apparent that they're entirely in sync with each other, and that threatening one is a Berserk Button for the other and will immediately result on the one not under threat doing everything in their power to protect them.
- Almost any time Walkure (and thusly, Freyja) is deliberately targeted by the Aerial Knights, it is Hayate who jumps to their defense first. Conversely, almost any time Hayate is in danger, Freyja is the first to jump to his protection. And this happens from almost the first episode.
- This is most exemplified in episode 13, Freyja risks her own life to help him and jumping off the ship in order to make sure her song reaches him. This is further punctuated by showing Freyja's spirit hugging Hayate from behind as he engages against the White Knight and actually wins.
- Related is their Vitriolic Best Buds dynamic. While both of them tease each other hard, especially in the first half of the series, it is clear it's more affectionate than not and they also go out of their way to support the other person, even down to being perfectly willing to lay down their dream for the other person's sake later in the series.
- After seeing him suffer a bit of Heroic BSoD from experiencing his first confirmed kill, Mirage (who initially started off antagonistic towards him) comforts Hayate by sharing her own experience with her first confirmed kill back when she was in the Spacy. Note that he still calls her 'instructor' despite Messer's verbal-slapping and constant failures both have received.
- Episode 8: Freyja's apples speech hit both this and Funny Moments due to the reaction of everyone except Hayate.
- In episode 10, Messer invites Kaname to go with him to the Ragnan Jellyfish festival before he's sent to another system. Rather than tell her his feelings, Messer gives Kaname his bracelet that has her song recorded on it and thanks her for saving him all this time.
- Going through Messer's notes, the Delta pilots (especially Hayate and Mirage) realize how much he actually cared for them. Furthermore, the reveal that Messer was being a jerk in large part to make it easier on his subordinates to shoot him if they had to.
- In Episode 13, after Mirage saves Hayate from falling to his death once the reaction bomb destroys his plane, he gives her a brief hug.
- Episode 14 sees Walkure put on a concert for everyone on the Island Ship in order to keep morale high.
- Episode 16: It's Freyja's birthday and the entire cast gets together for her birthday. While Hayate is running late getting her present, he makes up for it when it's :revealed he got it to snow. Allowing Freyja to feel at home, this continues as Hayate and Freyja mess around in the snow.
- In a flashback, Freyja as a child once got on top of a chimney in order to sing to cheer her fellow Windermerians up, despite the fact that her mother and father were killed by war.
- The entire sequence of Hayate and Freyja playing in the snow is set to God Bless You, sung by Freyja's actress and the lyrics of which massively imply a Love Epiphany on Freyja's part.
I never thought I'd be able to love someone this muchNow that I know this feeling, I'll never be the same - Episode 18: The chat between Freyja and Qasim. Especially when Hayate gets involved too (after being forced into it by Qasim when he pulls a gun on the Knight); the resulting conversation helps mend his relationship with Freyja after The Reveal in the previous episode.
- Episode 22: When Hayate went berserking again, Mirage and Freyja brought him back, and he swears to never go berserk as a result of Freyja's singing.
- Earlier, the fact that Freyja and Hayate were respectively perfectly willing to sacrifice their dreams (singing and flying, respectively) if it meant the other one could continue.
- Episode 23: The lunch between Reina, Makina and Mikumo, with Mikumo finally getting to experience a moment of normality denied to her due to her Artificial Human origins.
- Episode 25: Near the end of the episode, Freyja and Hayate bond over his father's letters (And also bringing up that Freyja already met Hayate's father in the past). All set to a lovely piano rendition of "Do You Remember Love". See the heartwarming moment here.
- Episode 26: Marianne (Chuck's sister) survived after Chuck (and the audience) thought her dead in a massive explosion that was last seen taking her out.
- Also from Episode 26; to break Mikumo free of Roid's control, Frejya asks her a simple question. "What feelings do you put into your music?" Cue each of the girls reciting their respective catchphrases. This made Mikumo tear up when they say it, and she says her catchphrase, complete with joining them in song.
- From the same episode, Hayate's Anguished Declaration of Love, followed by it giving Freyja enough of a boost to break free of Roid's Hive Mind.
- The tender moment she and Hayate share in his Siegfried right at the end, where they play the word game Hayate's father once did and share a tender embrace, non-verbally assuring each other they'll be together despite Freyja's life being shortened significantly. The final line in the series is a reference to Freyja's Image Song:
Freyja: (smiling) Comin' right 'atcha. / Better be ready. - Despite being a Tear Jerker of a film, Absolute Live contains a few such moments:
- Freyja taking Hayate to her home village and confessing to Hayate under the apple trees before singing for him.
- Mikumo being Not So Stoic and not wanting Freyja to sing at the cost of her life, even crying at the thought of losing her friend.
- Freyja singing in part to save the Siren System child that resonated with her singing, and being overjoyed when Hayate manages to save the child and show it to her.
- After Freyja passes away as a result of the strain of singing ALIVE ~Inori no Uta~, Mikumo immediately declares there will always be five members of Walkure, before the remaining members sing Uchuu no Kakera in solidarity.
- The child of the Siren System, after a while, grows to resemble Freyja under Hayate's care, and the last scene of the movie (and of all Delta-related media for the foreseeable future) ends thusly:
The Siren System child: Comin' right 'atcha! / Better be ready!
