Tarzan[]

- He is willing to risk his life to save others, even enemies like Clayton.
- He risks his own life to save the gorillas from Sabor and fights her, even if it meant for him to nearly get himself killed when fighting the vicious leopard. Although he did kill Sabor, it was because she was a threat to his current family that he did not know at the time, making him a righteous killer as he avenged both his late biological parents as well as Kala and Kerchak's baby.
- He decided to go to England with Jane, Clayton and her father as he puts on his late father's suit.
- When he discovers that Clayton will capture the gorillas to make a fortune, he rallies the animals (and his human companions) to save the gorillas and fend off the hunters, saving the gorillas.
