Line 161:
** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]]'' has several, including the episodes dealing with the [[Colony Drop]] on Dublin are especially jarring when longtime Gundam survivor Hayato dies a classic, Tomino-esque pointless death. This means that Karaba's down the drain and the Argama and company are literally the last line of defense against Neo Zeon. The aftermath, including Puru's death, are no less shocking and this "unserious" installment in the franchise doesn't give us a [[Breather Episode]] until we get back in space.
** And to not be less than the other series [[Gundam AGE]] has episode 14. {{spoiler|Yurin L'Ciel, massive [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] and the most likely candidate to become Flit's girlfriend, is '''horribly''' killed off, which ultimately makes the traumatised Flit switch from [[The Messiah]] to [[Dark Messiah]].}}
** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam - the Witch from Mercury]]'''s sixth episode opens with confirmation that the main character is ''not'' the girl seen in the ''Prologue'' bonus episode, implies Aerial is [[Powered by a Forsaken Child|has had that little girl stuffed inside of her]], changes the nature of Elan's character and kills off the one that has been seen in the previous episodes, implies Aerial's bits are all sapient, ''each'' of them have their own little girl stuffed inside of them, that Aerial's pilot Suletta is on some level aware the bits are individuals, and has the rival disowned and thrown out his father's House <!-- part of organization name --> for being a [[Jobber]].
* In [[Muhyo and Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation]], the competition between Muhyo and Goryo concludes with {{spoiler|Goryo winning on a technicality, resulting in him winning control of Muhyo's office. Muhyo effectively puts Roji on leave, and tells him that he's fired if he doesn't learn what he has to do by the time they meet up again}}.
* [[Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok]], Episode 21. {{spoiler|Heimdall's death scene.}} Long story short: He trapped the main character and friends in an alternate dimension, eventually dragging the MC into a creepy platform strikingly reminiscent of the Great Bridge of Hylia. He then goes [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|completely unhinged]], exhausting very literally ''every ounce'' of his considerable power (which he had just gotten back from a certain thief) on the character he believed to be that thief—the main character. Said character then deflects one of {{spoiler|Heimdall's}} attacks and uses it to kill his only friend in the entire series, a {{spoiler|falcon}}, leaving an unholy mess of feathers to rain down upon {{spoiler|Heimdall}}. He goes totally off the deep end and winds up shattering at least 90% of the platform they had been previously standing on without even moving a muscle—it just cracks under their feet. He then falls to his death with a truly cringe-inducing scream... and the normally stoic main character, after being returned to the real world, sheds a single tear. Keep in mind that this is coming from the same series which, a few episodes previous, was doing an [[Iron Chef]] parody.
