Line 5:
==== Manga/Brotherhood ====
* The entire flashback about the war in Ishval is a [[Tear Jerker]] marathon that lasts a whole collected volume of the manga. Also, {{spoiler|Ed digging up the body they transmuted when trying to bring back their mother to see if it was really her, and Hohopapa's [[Manly Tears]] when Ed tells him his mother's last words.}}
* Oh god, Ishval. What made it worse is that I love Roy and Riza, but seeing what the did in the war/massacre had me feeling like they were [[A Nazi
* It wasn't the Hughes' funeral itself which was so profoundly impacting. What really brings everyone to tears is poor little Elysia:
{{quote| '''Elysia''': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}-nQuX6Xau54 Mommy, how come? Why are they burying Daddy? Who are those people? Why are they burying him, why? They can't! I don't like it! Daddy said he had lots of work to do and if they bury him, he can't do it when he wakes up! Stop them, mommy! Daddy has to do his work, he told me! Why are they burying Daddy, Mommy? Why?] ''[[Wake Up Mommy|...Daddy, wake up!]]'''}}
Line 11:
{{quote| '''Elysia''': Daddy said he has important work he needs to do! No, stop it! Stop putting dirt on him! ''DADDY!!!''}}
* In the manga, during Elysia's outcry, even the Fuhrer is unable to keep his composure, with his hands shaking on his swords pommel. And considering who he is (on so many levels), this is especially emotional. {{spoiler|However, it's later revealed he was shaking for a different, much less sympathetic reason}}...
** [[Bruiser
** And then there's this little exchange:
{{quote| '''Mustang:''' ...It's a terrible day for rain.<br />
Line 52:
* Havoc's breakdown after losing the use of his legs. Sure, he became a full-fledged [[Handicapped Badass]] later, but that scene where he's begging Roy to just give up on him and cut him loose from the plans is crushing.
** Even the previous hospital scene, when Havoc reveals that he can't use his legs anymore, is a tearjerker as well. The way he so calmly states that he can't help Roy anymore, when it's obvious how utterly crushed he is makes this troper really, really sad...
* {{spoiler|Fu and Buccaneer}}'s death. Please, [[Taking You
** {{spoiler|Ling's}} breakdown after that was already heartbreaking in the manga, but Brotherhood just made it even worse, if that's possible. Maybe it's being able to actually hear {{spoiler|Ling's}} screams and watch tears visibly stream down his face, but the whole scene in episode 58 with {{spoiler|Ling desperately crying out for someone to use his stone to save Fu, only to get a cruel realization that despite the powers he's obtained he can't do anything for the situation}} is heartwrenching.
{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Ling}}''': Why...?.... I've finally gained immortality, and I CAN'T SAVE EVEN ONE OF MY SUBJECTS!? ''DAMN IT!!!!''}}
Line 75:
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Winry''': Ed-...}}}}
** Seeing {{spoiler|Gracia and Elysia on the ground}} made this troper tear up.
*** Look, [[Apocalypse Wow|this]] [[Kill'Em All|chapter]] [[The End of the World
*** Simple, so the subsequent counter-attack will. [[Up to Eleven|Be more.]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|AWESOME]].
* Also in episode 41 of the anime, the part where {{spoiler|Ed gets Heinkel to remove the metal beam from his chest and then attempts to use alchemy to seal the wound ''using his own life force instead of a philosopher's stone''.}} While this doesn't sound too impressive (and the manga counterpart didn't seem so either) the soundtrack used and {{spoiler|Ed's screaming as he struggles to keep his thoughts and consciousness together}} nearly reduced this troper to tears. Mind you, that's usually fairly difficult to do.
Line 123:
* When Izumi finds out about Al and Ed's attempting Human Transmutation in episode 12 of Brotherhood, after explaining what happened to her and sympathises with them, she tells them it's ok to let themselves hurt. Cue her hugging them both as Ed and Al break down apologising and begging her to forgive them.
* At the end of the chapter "A 520-cenz promise", where doctor Knox is visited by his family was also a very tearful moment for this troper.
==== [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
* Ed's utter howl of misery at the end, both for the original Japanese and the English dub... just KILLS me.
Line 156:
* Rose. {{spoiler|Being raped, manipulated, made mute, and generally all the crap she went through}}. She didn't have it good in her first appearance either.
* Although it's something that everyone saw coming {{spoiler|Trisha's death scene was quite painful to watch too. Just seeing the light fade from her eyes was enough to have this troper being reduced to a tearful mess...}}
* There's something bittersweet about episode 4. Majhal was so in love with a woman who died that he {{spoiler|tried to bring her back to life, and obviously failed. He essentially murdered several woman in attempts to bind their souls to mannequins that resemble his lost love but they never bind correctly}}. At the end of the episode it turns out {{spoiler|"Lebi", a woman who often visited Majhal, was his supposedly dead lover - Karin.}} Majhal refused to believe that [[spoiler:the woman was Karin -as she was now older than before and no longer "beautiful" to him - and tried to attack her but he accidentally became [[Hoist
