Line 3:
* The old wolves being essentially enslaved to work to death in Episode 5. Pair that with somber, melancholic cues from Kanno's score and you're going to need a lot of Kleenex.
* There is also another one earlier on the series when {{spoiler|Jagara kills Harmona and Darcia goes totally insane, first dancing one last time with Harmona (her corpse anyway), then completely going mental and smashing his forehead against a pillar several times}}. A remarkably powerful (and unexpected) scene.
* The death of {{spoiler|Toboe}}. This is only one of several tragic deaths that occur during the show's 4-episode OVA conclusion, but is arguably played (or possibly just a little ''over''played) by the writer and director for maximum emotional value. {{spoiler|Toboe dies unsuccessfully trying to defend Quent, a man who has always hated wolves. Only at the very end are the wolf and human reconciled}}. As he dies {{spoiler|Toboe}} dreams of {{spoiler|being reunited with the old human "Granny" whom he loved but accidentally killed}}. Later on, {{spoiler|[[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] Tsume}} loses it and weeps for his fallen friend, which is the point at which if you haven't shed a tear already you will. And ''then'' (after a bunch of other stuff happens) that closing theme finally kicks in... "Been a long road to follow..." Gulp... Excuse me... (But one final word: {{spoiler|Reincarnation!}})
** "Yeah, I know, kid. I know."
** Topping that scene off is the {{spoiler|soprano renedition of Toboe's theme, followed by Cheza's lullaby.}} This troper usually can hold the tears in until that moment...
