Elfen Lied/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* Most of ''[[Elfen Lied (Manga)|Elfen Lied]]'', but particularly the heart-wrenching last episode. Who'd ever thought you could care so much about regretless killers?

* The scene with the puppy in Lucy's childhood. Earlier on it was stated that [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname|Kaede]] had suffered constant bullying at the hands of [[The Bully|Tomoo]] [[Kids Are Cruel|and his gang]], which had gone to the point of driving her to [[Emotionless Girl|shut off her emotions]] in order to deal with the constant misery, refusing to become like them and start tormenting someonne else. Then one day, she finds a stray puppy and grows attached to it, then she proceeds to tell her new friend about the puppy, what does said friend does? She tells the bullies, that's what she does! [[Moral Event Horizon|Cue Kaede being forced to watch as Tomoo and his croonies beat the little cub to death]]. [[Beware the Nice Ones|This ultimately becomes the last straw that pushed Kaede over the edge]], [[Bloodbath Villain Origin|leading her to awaken her deadly powers and slaughter everyone in the room]]. Now, while this moment can be see as her [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|rightfully punishing]] [[Asshole Victim|the little devils that made her life a living hell]], one has to remember that here is where Lucy begins her deadly quest to terminate mankind, ultimtely leading to one of the most tragic love stories in existence. Just to know that her plight could've been so easily averted by the staff of the Orphanage (Who ignored it all because they found Kaede's horns disgusting and her stoic attitue creeped them out) makes me want to break down.
