Dead or Alive (franchise)/Tear Jerker


 * Ayane's ending in Dead or Alive 3. Yeah, lot of converts to team purple here, so to speak. Because sometimes...ninjas cry too.
 * Her entire backstory is a Tearjerker. She and Kasumi are Childhood Friends and sisters...and because of the various ninja politics and the misfortune of her birth, Ayane winds up separated from the only friend she ever had, only to come back when she's assigned to kill Kasumi. And then she has to kill ? Ayane, a Woobie is you. And then they set it to Dream On. That opening sold me more on the series' storyline than anything in the actual game.
 * For non-ninja characters, Helena's ending DOA 4 is a fairly tear-jerking summary of her entire story to date, as she decides to atone for the pain that DOATEC has caused everyone by . The Aerosmith ballad playing in the background just adds extra punctuation, along with Helena's melancholy "Sayonara...".
