Laxus' moment was a good epiphany type thing, not moving. No, Juvia's wasn't all that moving albeit sincere. That hug was BS, just a plot device to keep them alive. Mashima isn't good with emotions, on top of lacking depth in his story. Lol it does depend tough. I'm not emotional, but can tell good emotional scenes from god awful ones.
