Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten/Heartwarming

• Valvatorez' "pep talk" to Desco at the end of Chapter 3. Desco's just been beaten and the veneer of last-boss-ness she was putting on has been stripped away completely, leaving behind the truth of a sad little girl who was abandoned by the person she loved, and now she's afraid she'll never measure up or be welcomed by anyone. Val's reassurance to her that she can be a final boss and his promise to her to make her into a magnificent final boss is the perfect mix of heartwarming and bizarre that you only find in Disgaea.
• The normal ending when Valvatorez tells Nemo, who believed he was beyond forgiveness, to become a Prinny and earn his forgiveness rather than giving up his soul. Because he is the Prinny Instructor, Valvatorez says he will personally ensure that he will work to pay off his sins. Finally, there's Valvatorez's last line which ends up being used in a more uplifting and heartwarming way compared to it's usual application:

Valvatorez: Judge Nemo, I'll see you in Hades.

• • Also from the ending, everyone encouraging Emizel to reap his first soul.

Emizel: In the name of Death Emizel, I hereby sunder thy soul from this life.

• Fuka realizing that despite feeling that she had been neglected, her dad truly loved her. That he didn't become a mad scientist out of remorse for his late wife but to fulfill the wishes of her daughter and created Desco and Des X because Fuka really wanted a sister. ...then she hits him for making her really strange sisters.
  • This is even lampshaded by the other characters as being heartwarming... in their own way, of course. In fact, the only character who doesn't find this scene in some way pleasant is Nemo, who has just begun to flip his shit as a result. Even Des X is done with killing Fuka.
