-* 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 Are in There Somewhere Fight|"Believe me"]] as she stretches out her hands to Keiichi (right before he bludgeons her with a baseball bat) makes it heartbreakingly clear that the events leading to this end were [[Poor Communication Kills|a series of terrible mistakes]].}} Luckily, the scene that follows turns it right around into a massive [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].

 * 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.
