Inuyasha/Tear Jerker

"Koga: "I have no intention of losing to Naraku. Once I get my revenge, there's no assurance I'll be alive. Forget about the moon and the rainbow, Ayame.""
 * In Inuyasha, . No wonder Kagome was pissed at that.
 * The episode with Mayu the angry ghost girl,.
 * There's the scene where Kagome,.
 * Add Jakotsu's.
 * What makes it worse is at the beginning (or maybe the episode before it) Jakotsu and Bankotsu met  *sniff*
 * The last few minutes of "Sango, Kohaku, and a Secret Garden." Kohaku and Sango's near-miss tugs on the heartstrings enough on its own, but Sango's return at the end of the episode, set to a swelling orchestral version of her musical theme, makes it a Tear Jerker.
 * The death of  possibly the most beautiful and certainly the most poignant chapter of the manga to date, almost topping even   death later in the series thanks to the very effective layout of the pages.
 * 's death is also very sad, even more sad in anime which she finally found her emotion and her heart and know what they are.
 * The ending.
 * One of the chapters near the very end,, has Sango and Miroku.
 * Kanna's demise tugged my heart strings and would not let go. The entire gang calling for her not to give her life up for Naraku made it all worse...
 * In the anime, a mind-wiped Kohaku believed that Sango (who he didn't recognise or remember) had been killed - 'She's dead then, that woman...' - and starts crying without even knowing why.
 * After Mukotsu poisons Miroku, Sango, and Kagome. Shippo does his goddamned best to try to help them but can't seem to do anything. The pure look of helplessness on his face knowing he can't save his friends is heart-wrenching.
 * Oddly, Manten's death, at least in the animé. Yes, he and his brother, Hiten, were a couple of jerks who did a lot of terrible things, including killing Shippo's dad and trying to kill the heroes, but I can't help but cry when Manten, after spending his entire life trying to get a head full of hair and failing, wishing to be reincarnated as a bald guy again.
 * Sara from the episode "The woman who﻿ loved Sesshomaru" is a really tragic case. But I think she was happy before she passed on at the end of the episode, so I guess it might be more like a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
 * Though only in the anime for a single episode, Ayame manages to draw a tear when Koga finally remembers her. Koga's last line in the episode hits hardest, since he has spent the entire episode denying that he remembers her.

"Kikyo: "I must show my weaknesses to no one. I must never have doubts or demons would overtake me. I am human yet I cannot be human. We are quite alike you and I. You half-demon..... That is why I could not kill you.""
 * And of all tear-jerkers, Kikyo's death. It's really too much for a woman to try to be strong and stoic when she was still alive, for her village.

"Kikyo: "To live is to die. To die is to live. My name is Kikyo. I am a priestess who is unable to leave this world and reach the sacred place. No, that is not entirely the truth. Once I was a priestess. Now I am but a corpse with a cursed, false existence. No matter how much I desire to do good and help others, the truth is I live off the souls of the dead."ally dies, her lines to Inuyasha are... so melancholic yet bittersweet. ""
 * Then Naraku just decided to screw up Inuyasha and Kikyo's almost happy life by fooling both, and Kikyo dies with a broken heart and a grudge that would preside for centuries in Kagome's soul.
 * When she should have been given at least a peaceful after life, a demon witch just decides to resurrect her, as a clay body that can no longer feel. Adding to that, the soul she got from Kagome was full of bitterness and anguish at Inuyasha's supposed 'betrayal'.

"Kikyo: "I wanted to live as a normal woman with you, Inuyasha... and now I die a normal woman, without the Shikon, in your arms.""
 * Her death...


 * There was this Filler mini-arc about a male Youkai named Hoshiyomi and his dead girlfriend, the human Magical Girl Warrior Tsukiyomi  Not only there are parallels to Inuyasha and Kikyou, but it's a tear jerker from the start to the end. Specially the end, when
