Yu Yu Hakusho/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* Allow us to tell you what happens at Yusuke's wake in the first episode:

** Keiko is crying. Even though Yusuke was a [[Jerkass]] and a total pervert to her, she considered him her best friend.

** Then comes the school principal, who comes in and laments the waste of potential that Yusuke's life, as it has closed at that point, has come to represent.

** It's at that point that Atsuko, Yusuke's mother, breaks her [[Heroic BSOD]] and joins in the water works.

* Kurama's [[Shoot the Dog]] moment with Amanuma ({{spoiler|Gamemaster}}). Kurama was left with only two options, either win the game which will result in the death of a little kid, or intentionally lose and allow [[Big Bad|Sensui]] to have his way. There was no [[Take a Third Option]] and too much was at stake, so Kurama was forced to ''intentionally'' psyche Amanuma out, letting him know that he's going to die if he loses and there's no way out of it. The viewer is then treated 10 heartwrenching minutes of seeing the kid completely breakdown, begging for his life despite knowing full and well that there's no escape. Damn.

* {{spoiler|Genkai's death}}. This troper had had it spoiled, and so watched in Japanese first...and still cried both times.

** "Kill..." "Kill..." "Kill... us..."

* The entire exchange between Genkai and Toguro {{spoiler|in the Spirit World after the end of the Dark Tournament, as Toguro walks towards the gates of Limbo. When he removes his omnipresent shades, the sad weariness in his eyes makes it clear just how much emotional pain he's quietly endured for the last fifty years, and just how tired he was of living.}}

'''Toguro:''' {{spoiler|No, Genkai, but it would've been a beautiful life.}}
