* The Chilean TV series "Los Archivos del Cardenal" ("The Files of the Cardinal"), narrating the struggle of the "Vicaria de la Solidaridad" ("Vicary of Solidarity") during the terrible Chilean dictatorship, is the perfect mix of [[Tear Jerker]] and [[Nightmare Fuel]]. Maybe the names and some circumstances were changed to protect sensibilities of the victims and their families, but the emotional impact is devastating.

== Lists that need to be split into individual works ==
=== [[Kamen Rider]] ===
* Given its [[Anyone Can Die]] policy, [[Kamen Rider Ryuki]], unsurprisingly, has a fair number of these moments.
** {{spoiler|Kamen Rider Imperer}}'s final moments are particularly painful. Betrayed and left for dead in the Mirror World without his armor for protection, he spends his last seconds alive in the rain, gazing at the lone figure of a woman who may have represented everything he wanted in a life, as his body slowly dissolves into nothingness.
{{quote|''' {{spoiler|Mitsuru Sano/Kamen Rider Imperer}}:''' Why did something like this happen? All I wanted was to be happy.}}
** {{spoiler|Shinji}}'s death in the penultimate episode. Lethally wounded by a Raydragoon, he drives off an army of Monsters before succumbing to his wounds. It's only made worse in one of the first scenes of the final episode, as {{spoiler|Ren}} regretfully [[Unflinching Walk|walks away]], leaving {{spoiler|Shinji}}'s corpse as one more casaulty in the day's massacre.
{{quote|''' {{spoiler|Kido Shinji/Kamen Rider Ryuki}}:''' I just realized that I do want to close the Mirror World. I'm sure it will cause alot of pain, but I still want it to end. I don't know if it's right or wrong but as a Rider, I have a wish I want fulfilled, and this is it.}}
** Asakura Takeshi/Kamen Rider Ouja and Kitaoka Shuichi/Kamen Rider Zolda have had bones to pick with each other since the former's debut. When the time comes to finally settle things between them, Asakura is victorious. {{spoiler|However, as Zolda's armor breaks away, Asakura realizes that it is Kitaoka's manservant, Yura Goro, not Kitaoka himself that he had just killed. As for Kitaoka himself, the audience is taken to his mansion, his body resting peacefully on a couch, having finally succumbed to the illness that threatened his life.}}
** As the victor of the Rider War, {{spoiler|Akiyama Ren finally succeeds in saving Ogawa Eri, but at the price of his life.}} Crawling all the way to her hospital room, {{spoiler|he leaves the memento he'd kept of her, a pair of rings, in her hands before taking his final rest.}}
{{quote|''' {{spoiler|Ogawa Eri}}:''' {{spoiler|Ren}}, if you sit there, you'll catch a cold.}}
** Realizing that his sister, Yui, would always reject his offer to save her, [[Big Bad|Kanzaki Shiro]], in a moment of despair destroys {{spoiler|Kamen Rider Odin, and thus forfeits the final prize of the Rider War. However, unwilling to accept his sister's death, Shiro threatens to restart the Rider War in spite of her pleas. Then the camera pulls back, and we see Shiro for what he really is beyond the stoic malevolence; a young man tortured by the fear of a world without his sister. As the younger version of his sister pleads with him one last time, the camera pulls to a sentimental gaze of the older Shiro as he rewinds time, revealing that now, both versions of the Kanzaki siblings live in their own version of the Mirror World, populated not with the Monsters they created but with the drawings of happy times between them}}. As the ending credits roll, we return to the Atori, and pull in on a picture of the Kanzaki siblings, {{spoiler|a younger version of them as opposed to the older versions, implying that the two died in the new timeline Shiro created}}.
* Kamen Rider Kiva was always a serious show that could tug at the heartstrings, but when {{spoiler|Mio}} died, my eyes definitely watered for her. The ending of the episode was horribly sad when she {{spoiler|shattered}} in Wataru's arms. Even more heart wrenching is how she died. {{spoiler|Originally, it appeared that she had done a [[Diving Save]] to save her husband, Taiga. Later on, Bishop revealed he killed her, seeing Mio as a hindrance.}}
* Kamen Rider Double isn't as serious as Kiva or Blade. It doesn't matter though, as it can deliver several sad moments. At the end of the A arc, the poor little girl. And {{spoiler|Kirihiko's death. As his hankerchief blew away,}}
** The Puppeteer Dopant. You have to feel sorry for him, since {{spoiler|his daughter died a few months prior to obtaining his Gaia Memory.}}
** {{spoiler|Phillip's death, with an acoustic version of Cyclone Effect playing in the background. It takes an upbeat song and makes the line "We've got nothing else" tragic in context. Yes, he's brought back to life the next episode but the preview is entirely melancholic for the next episode. Shoutaro himself is in tears cause he is technically the one to kill Phillip by deactivating the transformation.}}
** A [[Bitter Sweet]] moment: {{spoiler|The Sonozaki family reuniting peacefully in death. After having spent the entire series fighting and backstabbing each other, Wakana and Saeko are seen embracing while Ryubee tells Philip they'll be watching over him.}}

=== [[Kenan and Kel/Tear Jerker]] ===
==K==
* The first half of the episode where Kenan has to move away. It's the slowed down theme music that does it. Also, in the 2nd half of that two-parter, [[Catch Phrase|"... Kel loves orange soda."]]
=== [[K9]] ===
* In the finale of season 1 "Eclipse Of The Korven", {{spoiler|K-9 destroys the Korven, burning out his power core, and because he had his regeneration circuit removed in the previous episode, he could not repair himself, killing him. His regeneration circuit does manage to home itself back to him, and revives K-9.}}

=== [[Kenan and Kel]] ===
* The first half of the [[Kenan and Kel]] episode where Kenan has to move away. It's the slowed down theme music that does it. Also, in the 2nd half of that two-parter, [[Catch Phrase|"... Kel loves orange soda."]]


=== [[The Killing]] ===
* Some may say it's a direct lift from ''[[Twin Peaks]]'', but the whole scene where [[First Episode Spoiler|Rosie's body]] is found it's heartbreaking in its own right, especially with Mr. Larsen arriving on the scene. "Is that my daughter?"



=== [[Knight Rider]] ===
* In the original series, the death of {{spoiler|Stevie Mason}} never fails to draw a few sniffles.
** Screw that, then entire episode The Scent of Roses. The whole thing was effectively an exercise in ripping Michael’s guts out.
* The episode where a teenage girl is asked to help find a treasure left to her by her father before his death (which the bad guys are after as well). She hated her father all her life, while others idolised him, feeling pushed aside, and agrees only reluctantly. In the end it turns out that {{spoiler|the treasure her father left her is a beautiful, but monetarily worthless hoard of crystal/stone compounds in a cavern – a beautiful sight reserved only for her, and which had no cash value to him whatsoever. He loved her more than money after all.}}
* Given that one of the actors is a ''sentient car'', the scene in ''Knight of the Drones'', where a completely [[Wham! Episode|smashed up via missile launcher]] KITT weakly asks Bonnie why it’s so dark outside and she tells him [[Blatant Lies|that it’s night]], is far more moving than it has any right to be. Bonnie is sometimes jokingly referred to as KITT’s mother, but in this scene, you can’t help but buy it.
** In fact, ''any'' episode that features KITT being busted up (which happened every time they [[Trash the Set|wanted to do a design revamp]] and thus, fairly often). Everyone worries about him as much as they would a flesh and blood teammate. On one occasion Michael even spends countless hours waiting around outside of the repair lab emergency room after KITT gets drowned in acid.
* The death of {{spoiler|Devon}} in the Knight Rider 2000 movie, complete with flashback to the first ever episode.
