Steins;Gate/Tear Jerker


 * The second half of episode 16 delivers them one after another:
 * In a heartwarming example, Mayuri realizes who Suzuha's father is:
 * The lab receives a letter from Suzuha a few hours later thanks to The Slow Path.
 * That got this troper good.
 * Despite, it turns out that the d-mail worked.
 * How about a few episodes later when  Manly Tears all round.
 * It's even worse since


 * Basically most of the later half of the show.
 * Episode 13. You won't be able to hold all your emotions.
 * Episode 17 when we find out just what Rumiho sent in her D-mail. We also get to see a more vulnerable side of her in this episode, too.
 * Episode 21 where
 * Also, while at her grandmother's grave,
 * Episode 22: after Okabe tries to take a third option to, Kurisu insists that he goes ahead with it, even if it means she will die as she did at the beginning. Realising this is his only option, what does Okabe do? He hugs her while having an internal monologue about how he never told her what was in his heart, how he truly felt about her.
 * Episode 23: the revelation that . It's a heart breaking scene to say the least.
 * Another example overlapping with a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming is the last scene of episode 25.


 * In the film, a drunk Kurisu starts ranting and raving about some things Okabe told her while he was in the US, and is upset that despite telling her that he loved her, he didn't even send her a text message. Or even as little as an emoji. Again, the alcohol might have an influence here, but from her perspective, that must really sting a bit as she feels like he doesn't care about her.
 * In retrospect, some drama CD's explore this a little; as funny as it is at points, one particular part of Sekimen Hissi no Gossip has Kurisu going off about how cold-hearted Okabe is for not keeping contact with her for nearly a year. She believes he still keeps up the chuuinbyou nonsense without caring about her feelings at all. It becomes clear to Moeka and Faris that she is indeed in love, despite her repeated denials. It's actually quite sad when you break it down.
 * The night before Okabe disappears, Kurisu begs him one last time to allow her to help him, but he simply refuses and accepts his fate, assuring her that she has the other Lab Members by her side. Then she retorts with this line:
 * Kurisu:  "Idiot! Can't you tell when a girl is trying to say that friendship isn't always enough?!"


 * This scene works well thanks to Trina Nishimura's acting here. She is pouring her heart out to Okabe, but he doesn't seem even the least bit bothered by this, reducing her to tears as a result; it's only when she has to spell it out for him (see above) that he responds with a kiss, which only causes her to break completely as the scene closes on the following exchange:
 * Kurisu:  "You bastard... in one breath you tell me to forget about you, and the next you pull a stunt like that. How am I supposed to push you out of my mind now?"
 * Okabe: "I'm sorry..."
 * Kurisu: "It's not fair..."


 * Remember in Episode 22 of the series where Kurisu is cut off as she ? Well, it happens again in the film, only this time we see it from her perspective. Her emotions are running wild as is, but being interrupted like that while Mayuri and Daru don't even know who she's talking about causes Kurisu to drop to her knees and sob uncontrollably as she summons every ounce of strength to even remember his name.
 * After everyone remembers who Okabe is, Mayuri declares that while she doesn't who "Okarin" is, the name alone makes her feel warm. Overlaps as a heartwarming moment, too.
