Beyond Good & Evil (video game)/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* The "[[Take My Hand]]" scene is a triumphant [[Tear Jerker]], as it shows us just how much Jade and Double H [[True Companions|have come to care about each other.]] {{spoiler|After she's been chased across the rooftops by General Kehck, Double H waits for Jade on top of a large, floating billboard. He sticks out his hand for her. She jumps. She doesn't make it. Double H briefly panics; he then dives down the other side of the billboard. Jade slides down the front of the billboard, headed for her doom, with an absolutely terrified expression on her face. But as the last portion of the billboard slips through her fingers, Double H, now balancing precariously on the billboard's tiny base, catches her. Cue one of his [[Catch Phrase|Catch Phrases]], "Don't break up the team", in a [[You Are With Me|whole new context.]] And Jade gives him a relieved, [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|heartwarming]] smile that just pushes this troper over the edge.}}

* The entirety of the scene where Jade realizes that {{spoiler|Pey'j is dead. The music goes quiet, the camera pans out, and we hear nothing... And Double H simply mouths, "No." Staving off those [[Manly Tears]] again, he steps out to let Jade have her moment. She then takes Pey'j's hand and promises him...}}

** {{spoiler|He gets better. This does not help in the tear department. In fact, if anything, their reunion is ''worse.'' Even if Pey'j's description of exactly ''how'' he got better is slightly cheesy, the look on Jade's face as she throws her arms around him says it all...}}

* This troper [[Fanon Discontinuity|refuses to believe the very, very, very end actually happens]]. You know, the part where it's revealed {{spoiler|Pey'j is still infected}}. There's a time and place for that kind of ending, game, and that is ''not'' it.
