Haruhi Suzumiya/Tear Jerker

"Haruhi: "Men are worthless. Feelings of love are just a temporary lapse in judgement. Like a kind of mental illness. Even I... get in the mood for that stuff every now and then. I am a healthy young girl, after all. My body has its urges...""
 * Say what you will about Endless Eight, but this troper can't be the only one who felt so sad for poor Yuki every time the camera panned in on her visibly sad face. Extra significance because she's the Emotionless Girl.
 * Just to emphasize on that; Nagato is very much The Stoic, to the point where the blink of an eye is the equivalent of her eagerly nodding in anticipation (As seen from Day of Sagittarius III). Her being visibly bored is the equivalent of a Heroic BSOD. That is also the same reason that seeing Yuki smile was a major player in tempting Kyon into staying in her self-made AU.
 * I cannot be the one who felt her heart ping a little when Kyon told Haruhi that she should find herself a nice guy to walk with and give up on all of this weird business, and Haruhi went unusually bitter as she replied with the following rant:

"Mikuru: (to Kyon) "If I find I'm unable to get married after this (post-bunnysuit incident), will you marry me?""
 * Yuki's behavior in Disappearance seems to be designed to induce this. It's a huge shock to realize the quietly competent one has been broken, to leave a Shrinking Violet beyond anything we've seen.
 * This troper believes the biggest tear-jerker in "The Disappearance" was
 * Mikuru in episode 2. God, that was depressing.

 * When I first watched Asakura die, I was relieved to see that psychotic bitch die. Then I read The Vanishing Of Nagato Yuki-chan where she was a perfectly normal and even very nice person... damn I miss her.
 * Don't worry, for better or for worse,
 * For those who've read "Charmed at First Sight LOVER", after  Kyon asks Yuki  . Her response?   Given how anything she says has a major impact and emotion is twenty times more, it's impossible to not feel horribly depressed, if not tear up a little.
 * Kyon attempting to punch Haruhi was pretty upsetting, even though she deserved it. She's visibly shaken and passes it off a anger at the time, but she's obviously incredibly torn up about it later. YMMV, though.
