Gundam/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

----

== [[Mobile Suit Gundam]] (original) ==

* {{spoiler|[[Lady of War|Emma Sheen's]] death.}} Which came right after {{spoiler|the sacrifice of the Radish and [[Gentle Giant|Henken Beckener's]] demise?}}

** {{spoiler|I think the saddest part of her death was how Kamille lingered in the room with her. You could really see his hesitance in leaving her body there and the way he turned back to her as he opened the door was the saddest thing in all of Zeta Gundam and is perhaps the saddest launch announcement ever.}}

 

== [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]] ==

* The biggest one is {{spoiler|When Amuro died trying to stop Axis from hitting Earth, and the ''Redshirt Grunts'' on both sides tried to help. They succeed, but many lives are lost in the process, and Amuro (along with Char) disappeared (the record being that they're both KIA.}}

* I'm definitely in the minority here, but {{spoiler|Quess's death hits me pretty hard. She was just a troubled girl from a dysfunctional family who got played like a piano by Char. That alone strikes a pretty personal nerve in me, but to see her story end like makes me feel like getting stabbed in the gut. All the bashing she gets doesn't help it either.}}

 

== [[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team]] ==

* What about the death of {{spoiler|Master Asia}}? {{spoiler|After a very last, gruelling battle, Domon tops his Master out, only to find out that he wasn't really as much as an SOB that he thought he was, he was misguided by his mistake to be absorbed in Gundam Fights that ravaged the Planet Earth and that everyone only cared about the Fights, not the planet. And then, Master reveals that he still retained his honor, not infecting himself with the DG Cells. Finally, for one last time, master and disciple recite the motto of School of Touhou Fuhai (''Look, the East is burning REEEEDDD!!!''), and Master Asia finally perishes after finishing the reciting, followed with a very crushing cry of Domon... ''[[Say My Name|"SHISHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"]]''}}

* And {{spoiler|Domon crying the epithome of [[Manly Tears]] as he's forced to kill [[Cain and Abel|his once-hated, now-again-beloved older brother Kyouji]] to [[Shoot the Dog|free him (and his clone, Schwarz Bruder) from the Devil Gundam...]] Once it sinks that Kyouji ''never'' was really to blame since he was [[Brainwashed and Crazy]], and that he used his last bits of sanity to create Schwarz Bruder and [[Must Make Amends|try fixing whar went so utterly wrong]]... the ''"NIIIIIISAAAAAAAAN!"'' is a slap to the face for both Domon ''and'' us watchers.}}

* Don't forget the death of {{spoiler|Dr Mikamura, killed for becoming [[The Atoner]] after realizing [[My God, What Have I Done?|how all of his sins destroyed the Kasshu family and made his little girl Rain suffer as well]].}} The guy's [[Famous Last Words]] don't help.

* Also the very final episode is... depending on the viewer's opinion either a [[Tear Jerker]] or a [[Narm Charm|hilarious scene.]] At the very least it is very impressive, when {{spoiler|Domon saves Rain and they use the Love-Love Sekiha Tenkyoken together}}

* Trowa being forced to {{spoiler|destroy Deathscythe, or else blow his cover. Duo freaking out was bad enough, but Trowa's shock as he notices his own tears floating around him was so}} '' {{spoiler|sad}}.''

* {{spoiler|Heero}}'s [[World of Cardboard Speech]] to {{spoiler|Wufei}} in ''Endless Waltz'' made me tear up. Specially when {{spoiler|in a small and soft voice, almost a whisper, he asks Wufei "how many times will I have [[Dead Little Sister|to kill that girl and her dog]] ''again''?}} Heero isn't my favorite character, but that endeared me to him a ''lot''.

** Also, her reaction when her mom is about to tell her the truth about {{spoiler|her heritage as the Princess of the Sanc Kingdom}}:

{{quote|'''Relena:''' *hugs Mrs. Darlian* "Please, mother, don't say anything! Just... Don't stop being my mother!"}}

* Witz's [[The Dutiful Son|conflict with his family]].

 

* While this series doesn't have too many tearjerker moments, what with the death toll being kept low by ''Gundam'' standards, {{spoiler|Sochie's}} fate might be one.

** For an actual death, try {{spoiler|the King of Adeska}}, though it may overlap with a [[Moment of Awesome]].
