  • Gerard's backstory: Once a renowned soldier for the army of a warmongering empire and an unbeatable opponent known as "The Silver-Eyed Demon," he was on his way to provide reinforcements in one battle but passed through the remains of a village that had been destroyed by that same battalion earlier. After actually seeing the end result of the things he had been doing as a soldier, he hears crying from under some debris and uncovers two war orphans. He takes the two kids, Quinn and Kelsey, and flees to Fenith Island to raise them as his own.
  • Electra's breakdown after learning why her family had become so poor: Beatrix spent the family fortune to literally buy the entire island to prevent it from being turned into a resort where the owner was planning to drive all of the residents away. After hearing this, Electra doesn't cry because of the loss of the family fortune, but because she had spent so much time not believing in her mother.
  • Ymir crumbling to pieces after delivering the Mutual Kill finishing blow to the Legendary Golem.
  • Violet's message to Aden during the final battle where she quietly pleads for him to not die as there's something she hasn't told him yet.
