• Gokudera's Varia fight for the Storm Ring. The end where Gokudera sacrifices the Ring he's been beaten near-death for, because he wants to survive another day for his friends, gets this editor every time. "I wanted to see the fireworks again, so I came back..." Every. Damn. Time.
• For this troper, it's when Tsuna arrives in the Future in his own coffin and those pained faces Gokudera makes.
• I can't believe the fight with Gamma hasn't been mentioned yet. Gokudera's line after Gamma reveals that the Tenth Vongola Boss was gunned down in plain view of many of his subordinates gets me teary every time, especially since you know it's gonna make the poor boy dive into a fight he definitely won't win. Made even worse by the fact that when he loses, Gamma tortures him for information and Gokudera responds by spitting in his face. I started crying again because I thought he was gonna get curb-stomped to death right then and there.

"How dare you...HOW DARE YOU BASTARDS! UNFORGIVABLE!"

• When Squalo appears in the Sky Battle and begins talking about Xanxus' past all the while trying to tell him he understands what he feels like... every single time they read/watch it.
• Uni and Gamma's Heroic Sacrifice to revive the dead Arcobaleno. Bonus points as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming at the same time. Cue present Tsuna curbstomping until he kills Byakuran.
  • Even after returning from the future, just mentioning Uni can still bring tears.
• Okay how isn't the part involving the Cloud fight in the Ring battles not here? Not because Kyoya beats Gola Mosca easily with one hit despite the creature getting up again. No, not not that. It's when we find out the truth: Xanxus put his own adoptive father in Gola Mosca as his POWER SOURCE. When Tsuna shot down Gola Mosca when it got back up, he effectively attacked the ninth boss and (nearly) killed him. The ninth boss who is described as a nice old man, who looks like a nice old man, who IS a nice old man. Tsuna just attacked him. Wait that's not enough to cause some tears? How about the fact that this shocks Tsuna out of Hyper Mode, causing him to blame himself until the dying old man tells him that it isn't, that it's his(the ninth's) own weakness that caused all this and after telling them what really happened to Xanxus during the Cradle Affair, he then tells Tsuna about how Reborn tells him all about Tsuna's life and the girl he likes and everything. He admits that Tsuna's a child who isn't suited for being a mafia boss with his soft heart but that's EXACTLY why Tsuna was choosen. At this point he has touched Tsuna's forehead. This is when the real Tearjerking occurs, at least for this troper, though I still cry all through this first part of the chapter, I can't explain it except with the links.
• Uni with tears in her eyes in chapter 377: "My heart would be in great pain, as if it's being gouged out."
• In chapter 388 Tsuna acts quite upset when he learns that Reborn will either die or become a Vindice member.
