Mahou Sensei Negima/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* Negi Springfield's last, and possibly only, meeting with his father Nagi as revealed to Asuna via a spell (and several others via Nodoka's artifact) in volume eight was heartbreaking. Not because of the destruction/[[Taken for Granite|petrification]] Negi's [[Doomed Hometown]] by an invading demonic horde or the impossibly powerful wizard doing a somewhat brutal [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment just in time to same the kid, but the fact that Negi only realized who the man was after he apologised for not being there and gave the kid his staff before starting to levitate off... whereupon we see the five year old (at most) kid running throught the snow before falling to his knees to scream "FATHER!!!" at the top of his lungs.

** It should be noted that of all the eavesdroppers (Asuna being too busy berating Negi for feeling the whole thing was his fault), the only ones not openly weeping were the Robot Girl (who looked as if she were trying to figure out how to), the [[Axe Crazy]] puppet ("The part where he broke the neck, that was cool!"), and the ancient vampire Nagi imprisoned within the grounds of Mahora Acadamy fifteen years ago. The last one of course [[Sand in My Eyes|pointedly turned away]] as she gruffly agreed to help Negi locate the man.

* During the Festival arc in the manga, just before Negi {{spoiler|goes to fight Chao,}} he asks Yue whether what he's doing is right, and says that if he {{spoiler|joins Chao and helps reveal magic to the world}} thousands of people could be saved. Yue starts crying and tells him that he can't sacrifice his future for thousands of unknown people, saying {{spoiler|"Then what about Nodoka? What will you do with your reply to Nodoka? Weren't you going to reply to her after she graduates? Are you going to join Chao-san and leave this school? What about Asuna-san or all our comrades or... me... Or what about everyone else from the class? Are you just going to leave us all behind?"}}

* Another moment comes in one of the more recent manga chapters, when {{spoiler|Chisame is watching over the unconscious Negi while he takes the test to gain Dark Magic. At first she puts off stopping the test, because she doesn't want to ruin his dream, but she realises that if he ends up dying because of her indecision, she'd never be able to forgive herself.}}
