What are the most tear-jerking moments of all manga or anime that you have read or watched (the ending of Naruto does not count. It was sad for ALL wrong reasons)?
This scene of "Lone Wolf and Cub" is one of the saddest and most touching ones that I remember. It gets me EVERY TIME:
I also shed a tear whenever I read this (from Maison Ikkoku) even if it is happier:
Or when in the "Mazinger-Z versus Great General of Darkness" Kouji cried the night before the last battle, saying that he knew that he could not win and that he would die but he would fight not matter what.
Or that scene of Fist of the North Star where Kenshiro mutters that he lives in a world where children get murdered by a sip of water (although that manga -even if it is renowned by its bloody action- is chockfull with sad moments. Another of them was when Rei said that he did not care for dying if he could guarantee that his unrequited love was able to live freely and happily, even if it was only for a short while).
Or when in Evangelion Asuka was lying naked on a tube after slitting her wrists, remembering her mother's dead and thiking that she had no reason for living because she was nothing but a failure.
Or the death of Heinel in Voltes-V. He was betrayed by the emperor that he loyally served, his subordinates are killed, his lover is dead, he decides that he is going down fighting but he finds out that he was pitted against his father and brothers, and finally dies by burning.
These are some of the moments that got me impressed the most and stuck to my memory. I wonder what are other people's.
