== Anime and Manga ==

* Lampshaded in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', when Roy fondly remembers the [[Not So Stoic|generally stoic]] Riza crying and tells her he'd like to see her 'pure tears' again.

* Kaname Chidori, resident [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] of [[Full Metal Panic]] has more than one moment when she breaks down crying, probably to keep her sympathetic despite her abrasive personality.

* Kaname Chidori, resident [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] of [[Full Metal Panic!]] has more than one moment when she breaks down crying, probably to keep her sympathetic despite her abrasive personality.

* Evangeline of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Thousand-Year-Old Vampire-Tyrant and Evil Sorceress, cries adorably as she asks Nagi to [[Tear Jerker|pat her on the head like a little girl one last time]] at the end of the Mahora Budokai Tournament.

** She's not the only one. [[Deadpan Snarker]] and [[Tsundere]]-turned-[[Sugar and Ice Personality]] Chisame breaks down and cries when {{spoiler|Rakan dies}}--and it's the [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|most touching moment ever.]] Some readers [[Manly Tears|even started to tear up right along with her.]]

** [[Alas, Poor Villain|Vegeta is probably one of the last characters you'd expect to appear on this list.]]

* Asougi Rin of ''[[Mnemosyne]]''.

* Ren of ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'' used to have these moments fairly often. Although it was not [[John Kricfalusi]]'s attempt to make the character more sympathetic, but rather a case of [[Executive Meddling]]. They requested for a softer side to Ren, which John K criticized from the beginning (in the ''Adult Party Cartoon'' episodes, unsupervised by Nickelodeon, he changed Ren's personality into a [[Jerkass]] with no redeeming qualities - it[[Complete Monster|did]] [[Took a Level In Jerkass|not]] [[Flanderization|turn]] [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk|out]] [[It's All About Me|well]]). However, the show undeniably benefitted from this change, thus creating several [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Crowning Moments Of Heartwarming]] that the audience and executives were very pleased with.

** As an example, perhaps the most notable one is "Stimpy's Fan Club", where Ren is miserable upon discovering the fact that Stimpy is a more well-liked character than him and is jealous of the tons of fanmail that he receives. After having pondered murder and several other less radical methods of making himself more popular, Ren eventually gets a fan letter himself and starts rubbing it in Stimpy's nose... before realizing it was from Stimpy himself. Ren breaks down into tears and cries on Stimpy's chest, sobbing about how pitiful his actions were.

** "Ren's Toothache" is a very good example too. While the conclusion isn't quite as heartwarming as the episode mentioned above, it has a breakdown scene when all of Ren's teeth fall out.
