D.Gray-man/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

------

* The Ghost of Martel arc is definitely one of the saddest moments in the series. It doesn't help that it's got such a haunting song in it as well...

** '' {{spoiler|"Are you going to sleep? I will sing you a lullaby then."}}''

** Bonus points for the song being Verse 18 of Mozart's Requiem Mass in D minor.

* There's the end of the journey to Japan. All the exorcists assemble on deck with three of the crewmembers, Anita and Mahoja, the only members of the crew not to have been fatally struck during the many battles on the trip. All the the doomed crewmembers call out to the exorcists to win, and all the survivors climb into a lifeboat. Then, Lenalee reaches out to help Anita on, and Anita strokes Lenalee's hair and tells her to grow it out again. At that point they realise that Anita and Mahoja are doomed as well. The look on Lenalee's face as she realises this is heartbreaking. It's also heartbreaking for Miranda as well- her Innocence was the only thing holding the ship together and keeping the crew alive. The way she cries when she admits she can can no longer keep it active takes from the audience as well.

* During the battle with the Level Four, when Lenalee synchs with her evolved Innocence. It turns to a pool of liquid in her hands, and as she is about to drink it, her [[Knight Templar Big Brother|brother]] Komui runs to her, almost on the verge of tears. She looks at him, and then gives him the most heartbreaking smile ever, and says "I'm off then, Brother" before drinking and synching with the Innocence. Made more poignant since if she doesn't synchronize with the innocence, it will kill her.

* The death of {{spoiler|Tup.}} He had been transformed into a Skull and there is nothing his friends could do but hold him and watch as he will turn to dust and die. After being transformed into a Skull, {{spoiler|Tup had no memories of his past life and wasn't responding to his friends' cries. Not until a few tears from a sobbing Johnny landed on his face. He then remembered how he was exhausted from overtime and wanted to sleep, so much that if he could, he didn't feel like waking up again.}} Then he told Johnny, with tears in his eyes, showing that he was back to normal, even if it was only briefly.

** What made it even worse was the reactions of all his friends as they watched him die. {{spoiler|Especially Allen, who wasn't there to see Tup's final moments but knew that he had died.}}

** Heck, even ''[[Jerkass|Kanda]]'' had what could be called a sad look on his face, and he usually acts indifferent towards things like that.

* Pretty much any scene accompanied by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6-tLMDq33k this] track from the OST.

** The story from the very first chapters (must've been the second) that this track was named after deserves a mention as well. Those poor boys. Poor Jean and poor, poor, miserable Leo. Seems like it's a general rule in D.Gray-man that there must be tears in the end.

* The recent arc {{spoiler|involving Kanda's and Alma's past}} has been really sad for the most part. Then chapter 193 came along in which {{spoiler|Alma is driven to a massive killing spree, only to stop when he sees his best friend show up. Then after greeting him and cheerfully telling him he is going to kill him he attacks Kanda. Sadly, the fight doesn't go very long before Kanda is forced to strike down his only friend.}} After reading this any sympathy I had for the Black Order has been completely erased. I know they are trying to win a war, but for gods sakes they {{spoiler|ended up forcing a CHILD to go on a rampage and fight his only friend AND forced said only friend (ALSO A CHILD!) to kill him in self defence.}}

** Keep in mind that this incident {{spoiler|is what [[Break the Cutie|broke any cuteness]] Kanda had to begin with, turning him into the Jerkass we know today.}}

** Though at the end of [http://www.mangareader.net/dgray-man/207/25 chapter 207], {{spoiler|Kanda has returned to the Order. A bit dirty, but his very Kanda-like smirk is enough to warm any fangirl's heart.}}

* Tewaku stumbling around the battlefield, still horribly mutated and crying for her brother and companions, delivers this line just before {{spoiler|Millennium Earl uses the Ark on her}}.

* Chapter 206. 'Nuff said.

* The 14th's melody is especially beautiful and sad [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwUkkl8iEzc&feature=related\]
