[[File:tsumihoroboshi_4922.jpg|frame|All together now...]]
* Plenty in ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', notably {{spoiler|Keiichi remembering a past iteration of their [[Groundhog Day Loop]] where he went [[Through the Eyes of Madness|insane]] and murdered Mion and Rena. Rena's [["I Know You
* The ending of Onikakushi is tragic enough in the game and the anime, but the manga pushes it right into [[Tear Jerker]] territory when {{spoiler|Keiichi's final letter is read over a montage of flowers being placed on Keiichi's desk, the teacher announcing the deaths to a shell-shocked class, Keiichi's parents mourning their son's death,}} and as if you aren't getting misty-eyed already, it finally ends with {{spoiler|Rika comforting Satoko as she sobs her eyes out over losing three of her best friends.}}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVHo0BN0Vks This] still-image video kicks the [[Tear Jerker]] factor up a notch. Or ten. It's Onikakushi from Rena's perspective, and shows just how saddening and confusing it was for her to see Keiichi look so scared and not be able to do a thing to help him.
* The original scene of {{spoiler|Rena and Mion's death}} itself is pretty heartbreaking too. Especially for [[Tropers/Tsunde Ray|me]], who went into the series not knowing about the series {{spoiler|hitting the [[Reset Button]]}} with each new arc. Revisiting that scene, seeing Keiichi break down and apologize to Mion (who is unaware of what he is crying about), and ''especially'' witnessing {{spoiler|Rena's last moments and words in the flashback}} threatened to bring me to tears.
* The entire Yakusamashi-hen made me cry, if only because nothing bad actually happened until {{spoiler|the Yamainu came for Rika}}, and especially the scenes with poor Satoko near the end when she sees {{spoiler|the corpses of everyone in the entire village in her school}}. Oh, and the first episode of the second season that shows the true ending of Tsumihoroboshi-hen. The flashback with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuofG8a7EEk that music] playing in the background... * sniffle*
** For me,
*** The answer is that the scene is taken from Tsukiotoshi-hen and really... doesn't make much sense in the new context. Originally, {{spoiler|Rena had reached L5 and was running away from having trapped Keiichi in a burning house. Presumably, the Yamainu killed her in order to both destroy evidence and keep her from becoming a danger to others. ...Probably mostly to destroy evidence}}.
*** The assumption for Yakusamashi-hen is likely that she happened to come upon the same thing Satoko did... just in progress.
Line 59:
* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXnRBokWmDo Kokoro Musubi]''. Now the song itself is heartwarming, but then there's that very last verse that represents Shion telling Satoshi that everyone is waiting for him to wake up. Cue the escaped tears.
* Rena's confession about the murders of Rina and Teppei Houjou to her friends in Tsumihoroboshi arc. When Keiichi asks her why she did not tell her friends about her struggles, her response is especially heart-rending.
{{quote|
'''Rena:''' A future better than now? There's no such thing. This is the best future. }}
* Also, her belief that you can't rely on your friends for help; that you have to suffer alone and solve your problems by yourself. Who knew that under her cheerful facade; Rena was feeling so much sorrow and bitterness?
Line 71:
* Any time Keiichi brings up {{spoiler|His awakened memories of his situation in Onikakushi-hen}} in Tsumihoroboshi-hen is this
