Kamen Rider Kabuto/Tear Jerker

Kamen Rider Kabuto is a part of a massive franchise created by Shotaro Ishinomori (who also created Cyborg 009) and produced by the Toei Company. Sure, you might have people wearing bug-suits to kill Worms, but trust me, there are moments that are guaranteed to make you bawl. Need an example of depression from toku? Look no further than what happens on Kamen Rider Kabuto:


 * The truth about Kagami's younger brother in episode 4. Enough said.
 * Episode 22, when Makoto sacrificed himself to protect Kagami from ZECT detonating Worm eggs. I can't imagine how Kagami felt after watching a six-year old boy die from the blast.
 * Daisuke Kazama is forced to kill.
 * One can argue that Rena's "performance" in front of an empty house in Episode 40 is mind-numbingly depressing as well.
 * When Tendou finds out that his sister Hiyori  he draws dangerously close to abandoning his battle against the Worms altogether.
 * turning into the Scorpioworm in front of Misaki in Episode 45 was not only scary but also depressing when you realize that this killed any hopes for him to get the girl.
 * And then, in episode 46,  realizes the truth not only about himself, but also
 * The result? He tears his gifts to Misaki, throws away a christmas cake, and breaks down at a beach. He then believes that the only way to get over this tragic discovery is to kill himself by pretending to become hellbent on destroying ZECT. Boy does it suck to be
 * It's even worse if you remember that Kagami knew all this time that  was a worm and yet never told Misaki when he was going out with her.
 * Speaking of which, the scene from episode 46 when Tsurugi tells Misaki his dream date with her is absolutely gut-wrenching.
 * The worst part? This heartbreaking monologue came just as Hyper Kabuto (Tendou Souji) was preparing . God damn you Tendou for
 * And last, but certainly not least,  dies in   arms. The last exchange between the two? "Is it okay if I go to sleep?" "Of course. Please don't worry about a thing.   will always be by your side." Fuck...
 * Somehow, the fact that this episode aired on Christmas Eve makes all of the things that happen to  even more gut-wrenching to the viewers.
 * Episode 48... oh boy, Episode 48... sniff...
 * First, we get flashbacks that show  WHEN HE WAS JUST A YOUNG BOY.
 * And when you think it couldn't get any worse,  promising to be by his Aniki's side... Damn.
 * It's even more depressing when it was  with his Rider Kick when
 * Heroic Sacrifice in the finale... Japanese households must have ran out of Kleenex when the kids watched that scene on TV Asahi's SUNDAY KIDS BLOCK.
 * The fact they stopped using clock-up in the last 20-30 episodes was pretty sad.
 * Not all the time though, there were some battles in clock up, like the final battle between Kabuto and.
 * The MOVIE of all things when Hiyori . Both Kagami and Tendo suffer from an enormous Heroic BSOD from this.
