Fushigi Yuugi/Tear Jerker


 * A lot of lovable characters may have died in Fushigi Yuugi but none of them hold a candle to the death and . Can we say "greatest love story ever"?
 * A classic tearjerker moment from that series would be . The camera then moved to Boisterous Bruiser Tasuki leaning silently against a rock, eyes wide in a state of shock, then lost it completely.
 * Especially sad in that
 * Only topped by, which is either this or Egregious Narm from A Death in the Limelight.
 * I don't cry easily. I was upset, but I didn't cry when  died, but I did cry when they came Back for the Finale.
 * For a non-death example, there is Hotohori's doomed confession of love to Miaka matched to a flashback showing his lifelong fascination with the Priestess of Suzaku.
 * When Tamahome realizes
 * Not to mention that, he turns around and is shown with about six lines of tears pouring out of his eyes.
 * And what about when
 * Basically,  is sure to turn the waterworks on.
 * What makes it even worse is that there was absolutely no warning whatsoever that this was going to happen. Tamahome just spends a bit of time shopping for them, opens the door with a happy, expectant look on his face...
 * Amazingly, even though he's way over the Moral Event Horizon by this point in the story, Suboshi also commits one of the most poignant sacrifices in the series:, it's hard not to reach for the hankies.
 * How can we forget the heartwarming moment between Hotohori and Boushin in the OVA?  This troper began to cry worse than Boushin as she clutched a pillow, but it doesn't end there.
 * The Suzaku and Seiryu warriors' trip to the hot spring omake ends with a glimpse of the Animated Actors going out for a drink. Miaka takes one last look at the recording as if saying goodbye to the viewers who were watching the show.
 * Tasuki's was one for this troper, just because I couldn't bear to see him act that way. It Got Worse when he snapped out of it, especially since this is the kind of series where Anyone Can Die and there was every chance that he COULD have died from it.
 * Suzaku Hi Den not only gives the spotlight to Hotohori, but to  and  . It's absolutely heartbreaking, specially when   and then when he
 * Though YMMV, a lot of the scenes involving what happened to Yui can be this. By the time the series ends, every single aspect of her life has been crushed,
