* ''[[MaiMy-HiME]]'' episode {{spoiler|8, when Akane watches her boyfriend Kazuya get killed and is rendered [[Heroic BSOD|functionally comatose for a good portion of the series]]}}, episode 20, {{spoiler|when everyone starts fighting each other and [[Ill Girl|poor Takumi]] becomes the next casualty, evaporating in Mai's arms after Akira's CHILD is struck down (even Mikoto broke down into tears when [[My God, What Have I Done?|she realizes it was her fault]])}}, and episodes 24 and 25, {{spoiler|where Yuuichi dies in a way that seems so coldly logical when you see it and still manages to die [[Go Out with a Smile|with a smile on his lips]], and where Natsuki and Shizuru kill each other in an inevitable double-KO both saw coming}}. At least one of those will get tears from you, though with the first two, the sheer awesomeness of the twist might leave you too stunned.
** Even if {{spoiler|Akane losing Kazuya}} leaves you too stunned for tears (and it did for me), the following events are utterly heart-wrenching: {{spoiler|No-one knows what happened, they think Akane and Kazuya just eloped, and the high school comedy continues as normal. Then, when we finally see what happened to Akane after that scene....}}
* This troper believes that (and even has to reiterate) episode 20 trumped every other episode in how utterly cruel it was to Mai. {{spoiler|Mai learns that Nao has attacked her younger brother, who said that he didn't need her anymore, regardless of how much she cared about him. After finally catching up to Akira and Takumi, Gennai is slain, killing Takumi. He dies in Mai's arms [[Big No|and she screams at the heavens]] in a voice that could jerk tears on its own. Her body doesn't even seem to be [[Heroic BSOD|functioning properly]] as she turns to face Mikoto, the same girl who lovingly glomped Mai every chance she got, who only slowly realizes what it is that she'd done. Mai on the other hand is so enraged that [[Unstoppable Rage|her face twists up in the most pained expression I've ever seen, to the point where she drew blood from biting her lip so hard]]. As if it wasn't bad enough, when Mikoto finally stops, and stares at Mai, crying her eyes out, Kagutsuchi blasts Mikoto full on, APPARENTLY killing her. Mai could do little to stop it. And she literally [[Heroic BSOD|walks away like a living doll, her head limply falling from side to side.]] This troper was in fact so choked up that it was hard to breathe.}}
Line 12:
* {{spoiler|Takumi's apparent}} death in the manga, particularly {{spoiler|his sister Mai's}} reaction. {{spoiler|He gets better... but then things [[It Got Worse|get much worse]].}}
