* In ''[[
* A pair of knights in [[The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer]] has a strange version; the girl is stoic and strong, so when she got injured, the (unharmed) boy would cry in her place.
* In ''[[Fist of the North Star]]'', when Asuka, Ein's adopted daughter, was asked why she is not crying at her father's funeral, she replies, "If I cry, Daddy won't be able to rest." Kenshiro hugs the brave little girl with warmth and kindness and weeps [[Tender Tears]] of sadness in her place.
Line 22:
* ''[[Inuyasha]]'' Final Act contains this, where {{spoiler|Jaken does this for Sesshoumaru's sake after Rin dies.}}
* After the ending credits in episode 3 of the second season of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gundam 00]]'' we see a scene where Marina and Setsuna are talking, and he says all he knows in life is fightng, then she starts crying, and when Setsuna asks why she cries, she replies "because you can't".
* In ''[[Baccano!]]'' Jacuzzi tells Nice that one of the reasons he [[Shrinking Violet|cries so much at the smallest things]] is so that his tears can make up for all the times ''she'' wants to cry but has to stay strong.
* In the first episode of [[Ballad of a Shinigami]], Momo is in tears at the end, and is called a crybaby by her fuzzy sidekick. She replies, 'The dead cannot cry, so I cry for them.'
* In ''[[Black Butler]]'', episode 24, when Ciel {{spoiler|is about to die}}, he comments that {{spoiler|Elizabeth}} will probably cry a lot. Sebastian adds that {{spoiler|Lizzie}} will cry for two, as she knows he never cries.
* In [[Spiral]], at his mother's funeral, a young [[The Stoic|Eyes]] asked that his best friend Kanone do this for him from then on; Kanone promisesd. (Though he's never shown to do it on-screen, he's still largely emotional enough for the two of them.)
* In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] manga, Shadi cries for the mummies in a museum, due to his belief that they suffer a [[Fate Worse Than Death]].
* During one point in ''[[Turn
* In ''[[S-Cry-ed]]'', after {{spoiler|Kimishima}} dies, Kazuma shows a face of stoic acceptance, going on about how he's [[The Woobie|used to pain, loss, abandonment]] and all that stuff... but his [[Morality Pet]], Kaname, has other thought.

* From ''Ink Exchange'', the second book in the [[Wicked Lovely]] series; "Then he was beide her, lifting her hands to his lips, crying tears she wasn't able to shed." The characters are, respectivley, [[Iron Woobie|Niall]] and [[Broken Bird|Leslie]].
* Invoked in ''House of Chains'' in the [[Malazan Book of the Fallen|Malazan]] series. {{spoiler|Trull Sengar cries because his friend Onrack cannot. Somewhat subverted because Onrack literally cannot cry, as he is undead}}
Line 50:

** To clarify, Data, as an android, was incapable of actual emotion. In their final scene together before she died, Lal tells her father that she loves him and he expresses regret (such as he is capable of) that he cannot return the emotion. She says that it's ok, she'll feel it enough for both of them.
Line 70:
== Video Games ==
* A variant occurs in ''[[Fire Emblem]]'': Path of Radiance. After {{spoiler|Ike's father Greil dies}}, [[The Hero|Ike]] tells [[White Magician Girl|Rhys]] a story {{spoiler|Greil used to tell him}} about how the more tears are shed for someone, the more blessings they receive in the afterlife. Being [[The Stoic]], Ike finds himself unable to cry, so he asks Rhys to cry in his place.
** In ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe|Fire Emblem 7]]'', right before the final battle Lyn cries in place of Hector for his {{spoiler|recently deceased older brother Uther}}, in a [[Shout-Out]] to an earlier scene in which Hector tells her about {{spoiler|how he tried to cry when his and Uther's parents died, but he simply was unable to.}}.
** Another variant occurs in ''Sacred Stones'' if you take Eirika's path. When it becomes clear beyond any shadow of doubt that {{spoiler|Lyon cannot be saved}}, Ephraim tells Eirika that it's all right to cry, and to cry for him as well.
