Digimon Adventure 02/Tear Jerker

"Ken: It's not like you think it'll be. You don't want to be like me."
 * Ken's backstory.
 * Considering the absolute bastard he was as the Emperor (at the time, seeing his illusions of control broken down piece by piece gave off a definite sense of "Ha! You so deserved that!") it's amazing that most of the things Ken Ichijoji does afterwards bring tears to this troper's eyes, resulting in her not not being able to watch the earlier season episodes anymore without feeling incredibly uneasy. From his first recognizing his own Mother after coming out of a not-at-all-Heroic-BSOD, to seeing his dead brother in an illusion caused by his own desire to see himself punished for his misdeeds, to Davis yelling that he's not alone anymore while he's struggling with the serious mental and physical pain of trying to close a Gateway to the Dark Ocean that's haunted him since he was seven... This guy really had to earn his happy ending.
 * Wormmon's death. It's just downright heartbreaking.
 * The scene where Ken goes into the Digital Nursery and all the Digimon start whining whenever he comes near them and he and holds it in his arms and starts.....BAWLING his eyes out. Especially the flashback where he wishes his brother was gone and then he is.
 * The episode "Genesis Of Evil" in its entirety, especially in the English dub (Aside from maybe little Ken's dub voice, that is.)
 * Yolei slapping Kari and telling her she's not alone anymore.
 * The kidnapping was awful and borders into Nightmare Fuel. Especially when Oikawa's having the Dark Spore copied and replicated for a bunch of other children whom Ken knows are gonna turn into the same monsters he was as a result and he's in tears. Even the dub does this not at all badly, with Ken wondering where Davis and Wormmon are.


 * Oikawa's backstory in Digimon Adventure 02
 * BlackWarGreymon's Heroic Sacrifice to save Cody's grandfather after finally realizing the true meaning of friendship, WarGreymon sounded like he was about to cry.
 * And Oikawa's Where, for the first time since
 * Just the look in Oikawa's eyes when
 * Mummymon's Villainous Breakdown following . It's hard to feel sorry for a villain, even if they are part of the resident Team Rocket squad, but to see his emotional meltdown   makes you really feel sorry for him.
