Line 22:
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', Anzu (as the Magician of Faith) mourning for Jounouchi's sacrifice against Bakura leads to her Flip effect being activated.
* At the end of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', tears open the Rose Gate.
* To make a youth potion for himself, Happosai in ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]'' needs one more ingredient: the tears of a beast that is both male and female. The rest of the chapter involves him chasing Ranma around with onions and tear gas.
** The Nanban Mirror, also from ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]'', is a magic mirror that can transport someone to a desired time (and place) and requires teardrops to activate it. They don't need to be emotional tears, though.
* In ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', Usagi's tears at Mamoru's apparent death ([[Death Is Cheap|the first of many]]) create the ginzuishou - in the manga, it simply forms from her tears, while in the anime, they cause the rainbow crystals to form it instead.
** Also in episode 170, Usagi wanted to fight Neherenia and help Mamo-Chan, but her friends told her it's a trap, as the heartbroken Usagi cried, her tear landed on her heart shaped brooch which caused it to turn into a eternal brooch and Usagi herself became eternal sailor moon.
Line 118:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', the petrified princess of the underground castle can shed a tear that upgrades the Magicite remains of her Esper suitor.
* Used in ''[[Mario and Luigi Partners In Time|Mario & Luigi: Partners inIn Time]]''. The cure to the Shroob infection that devastated Mushroom Kingdom in the past was Baby Tears. Though it was somewhat subverted in that Professor E. Gadd whipped up a 'chemical equivalent' to do the job en masse.
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 2'', one of Fortune's tears {{spoiler|brings Vamp back from ''a bullet to the head''}}, but it's implied that contact with any water source can do this.
* Inverted and also used in ''Legend of Mana''. Anyone who cries for a Jumi (basically [[Our Elves Are Better|Elves]]) will turn to stone, but the Jumi's own tears have healing powers.
Line 141:
* ''The [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] Movie'': SpongeBob and Patrick are captured by a diver who makes souvenirs out of dried-up sealife and are placed under a heat lamp. As they await their fate, they each shed one tear that join to form a heart. That one heart-shaped tear then drips down the power cord into the outlet, causing it to short and activate the sprinkler, which [[Doing in the Wizard|revives our heroes]] and all the other creatures as well.
** In the original series, SpongeBob loses his pineapple home after nematodes drink it dry, leaving a little "pebble" behind. Near the end of the episode, he plants it in the ground, and a single tear falls on it, restoring it back to normal ([[Butt Monkey|on top of Squidward]]).
* In the Grand Prix-winning Rene Laloux short ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiXn6d13YC0&fmt=18 Les Escargots]'', A down-on-his-luck farmer discovers that crying on his lettuces makes them grow large and healthy. Unforunately, it has the side effect of attracting [[Attack of the 50 -Foot Whatever|snails the size of Mack trucks]] which go on a rampage in the nearby town once they've picked his field clean...
* Disney seems to like this trope. Belle brings back the Beast by weeping over him. (Admittedly, this comes from the source material.) And in ''[[Bambi]] 2'', the Great Prince sheds a [[Manly Tears|manly tear]] for his injured son, who is quickly revived.
* In ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]'', [[Metamorpho]] is brought [[Back From the Dead]] when his fiancee Sapphire Stagg cries into the puddle that used to be him.
