He's a ''huge'', borderline fanatical admirer of Luffy and his crew, and seeing them in action - and even the prospect of being part of their antics - makes him more excited than he can handle.

* Whenever Miyoshi cries in ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'', it starts with cute crying and devolves into this -- for example, when Mashiro and Takagi get their first serialized manga.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', anime Episode 21. After Ichigo defeats the giant Soul Reaper gate guard Jidanbō by destroying his axes, Jidanbō starts crying uncontrollably and lamenting their loss.
* A plot point in a ''Manga/CaseClosed'' case. [[spoiler: Two years before the ''Tottori Spider Mansion'' case took place, a girl named Misa Takeda and later her mother Kikuko committed suicide; while Misa's father/Kikuko's husband Nobukazu barely showed any emotions, Nobukazu's younger brother Ryuuji ''wept'' so intensely for their deaths that the neighbors and family members were shocked. This was actually the first hint that Misa was Kikuno and ''Ryuuji's'' love child and Nobukazu was aware of it; when Conan heard about this detail he began to decipher the Takedas' ''[[BigScrewedUpFamily very]]'' [[BigScrewedUpFamily dark family dynamics]]...]]
* Played for laughs in ''[[Manga/{{Karin}} Chibi Vampire Karin]]''. Karin is ''not'' attractive when she cries. Most characters tend to look pointedly away when she does.

** In the 2018 adaptation, ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'', Akira has to break the news to Miki [[spoiler: that her entire family has died]]. As Miki wordlessly retreats to her room, a close-up shows Akira's face contorting as tears begin streaming from his eyes. Akira tilts his head back and sobs loudly in an almost childlike manner. Miki, alone in her room, hears Akira crying and is finally hit by what has happened. Soon both Miki and Akira are heard wailing.
%% * In ''Manga/DGrayMan'', this happens every time anyone cries for real.
* In episode 9 of ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', after the rain washes Growlmon's camouflage paint away, Takato becomes so upset (possibly overwhelmed with stress) that he starts sobbing in this manner for almost a minute straight.
* ''Manga/DrStone'': Taiju is prone to this at emotional moments. When he and Yuzuriha finally speak to Senku [[spoiler:over the cell phone]] 50 chapters and one year after parting ways, he's only able to get out an incoherent "SENKU! I... I'm... SENKUUU!", to which Senku responds, "You're not Senku. I'm Senku, dammit."
* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
** Natsu. [[spoiler: After witnessing Igneel getting killed by Acnologia, Natsu is reduced to tears, unable to tell Igneel all the things he wanted to tell him.]]
** Lucy also does this when [[spoiler: she sacrifices Aquarius to summon the Celestial Spirit King.]]
* ''Manga/GakuenBabysitters'' makes it clear in the first few chapters that crying, ''especially'' from very young children, is loud, undignified, and very annoying to most people who are around and don't know what's wrong. Save for a few important moments, it's almost never portrayed as cute whenever the children cry en masse.
* ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'': When Makoto cries, it is full-force waterworks and wailing. She most notably does this on the school roof when she believes that she's screwed everything up and can do nothing to fix it.
* ''Anime/PrettyCure'':
** ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'': This is pretty much standard for Tsubomi when she gets really emotional.
** ''Anime/GlitterForce'': [[EverybodyCries The Precures along with Candy]] sob themselves ragged in the final episode [[spoiler:upon finding out that they have to say goodbye to Candy because the Miracle Jewel doesn't allow traveling between worlds.]]

This is even translated to [[VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle the fighting game]] as a counter that causes the opponent's Heat Heart Gauge to go down if they attack him while crying.
** ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'': Okuyasu does this twice when the topic of Koichi's relationship with Yukako comes up. Also drinking the water in Antonio's restaurant, he starts crying momentarily as a side effect of his eyes being shriveled up and relieved of insomnia.
** ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind'': Narancia cries [[spoiler: as he begs Bucciarati not to leave Abbacchio's body behind after his death. In the anime he even trips and falls, proceeding to lay on the ground while sobbing and wailing loudly.]]
*** In the anime Mista, while in Trish's body, lets out a SkywardScream through streams of tears [[spoiler: when Narancia is killed.]]
* ''Manga/{{Kakegurui}}'':
** Itsuki Sumeragi, the first Student Council member that the main character Yumeko Jabami faces off against, turns into an utter crying wreck when her cheating at Double Concentration is not only exposed after Jabami easily beats her in a round but now she's being challenged to put up HER OWN fingernails as collateral!

** Narrowly avoided when [[ShrinkingViolet Sawako]] was about to cry because her [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl best friends]] helped her get ready for a New Year's date with love interest Kazehaya. Ayane and Chizu realized the [[ProneToTears ultra-sensitive Sawako]] was about to cry because she was so happy to have such great friends, and quickly pleaded with Sawako to hold it in. Sawako stopped herself from turning on the waterworks just in time to save her makeup from becoming a godawful mess.

* In ''Manga/MyHime'', Aoi's crying is apparently quite dreadful to hear, and when she pretends to be on the verge of tears, her roommate Nao and Nao's ArchEnemy Natsuki actually put aside their differences as she demands.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}:''
** The series plays this straight with several characters, both in the manga and the anime. For instance, the scene where Naruto cries over [[spoiler:Gaara's death in Shippuuden]] is very well done.
** Sasuke and Gaara get their moments, both with different results. Sasuke looks like he's just [[{{Wangst}} taken a level in emo]], while Gaara looks like he's finally let [[TheWoobie a lifetime of pain and torment go]].
* In ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'', Kotarou goes into this after he's defeated in the Mahora Tournament after promising to meet Negi in the finals.
* ''Manga/{{Noragami}}'' features [[TheWoobie Yukine]] who cries really really loud on several occasions. Complete with snot and rivers of tears.
* Chapter five of ''Manga/OmujoOmutsuJoshi'' ends with Morei in her room, throwing a tantrum over an AccidentalPervert moment she witnessed between Shouta and Ichigo. The first look at her face in this scene has her bawling her eyes out with snot running freely down one nostril.
* ''Franchise/OnePiece'':
** Creator/EiichiroOda took this trope to a whole new level with the series. ''Everyone'' has done this, though male characters more often than female ones. The artist just loves drawing ''rivers'' of tears mixing with rivers of snot and saliva, apparently. It's Oda's signature move really.
** The most extreme examples (with the above snot and saliva) only happen with males. [[BeautyIsNeverTarnished Females]] only show mucus in the face of [[BreakTheCutie emotional trauma]]. At most, Robin as a child had mucus running down to her mouth in the flashback of her DarkAndTroubledPast while trying to get her mother to acknowledge herself as such, but females' snot is generally kept to realistic levels.
** Pictured is Luffy at the end of the Water Seven arc. As the crew is about to leave the island, the earlier issue of Usopp [[TenMinuteRetirement leaving the crew over Luffy's decision to abandon the crew's ship]] is unresolved, and Luffy, at Zoro's insistence, refuses to readmit Usopp unless Usopp apologizes. When Usopp finally makes a tearful apology and begs to be let back in, Luffy pulls him aboard the Straw Hats' new ship, with both of them crying profusely with snot coming out of their noses. Zoro and Nami are simultaneously annoyed with their crying crewmates and glad that Usopp's back.
** However, Oda seemed to go further into this trope with Rebecca than most other females. For example, her crying in Chapter 789 as she is [[spoiler:nearly forced into killing her aunt Viola]] is the first instance of a female actually crying to the extent of drool, and her TearsOfJoy two chapters later completely ''cover'' Luffy's face as he was resting on her LapPillow.
** Chapter 791, in particular, is ''loaded'' with the trope. Not just Rebecca, but the entire town and even [[spoiler:Kyros]] let out understandably huge amounts of TearsOfJoy following [[spoiler:Doflamingo's defeat]]. That bit wasn't played for comedy, and in the case of [[spoiler:Kyros]] specifically, it's even more justified as [[spoiler:he couldn't cry at all when he was a toy, so he's making up for all the time he spent UnableToCry in one moment]].
** Franky and Chopper are especially prone to this; Franky especially, as it's a RunningGag for him. Luffy's had his moments too, both sad ([[spoiler:Ace's death]]) and happy (reuniting with Usopp after Enies Lobby, the picture up top).
** Chapter 785 has a minor example, with a little girl crying such inelegant tears of relief after her grandmother regains the will to live. It's a welcome tension reliever, considering the rest of the chapter is serious.
** Yamato briefly breaks into this when she realizes that, yes, her cuffs ''were'' rigged by [[ArchnemesisDad Kaido]] to explode should she ever try to remove them. She quickly snaps out of it and [[YoureNotMyFather disowns Kaido on the spot]], resolving to fight against him.
** At the end of the Wano arc, Momonosuke, [[spoiler:who, despite having aged into an adult, is mentally eight years old]], tearfully begs Luffy not to leave, crying so hard that snot comes out of his nose and he can barely get his words out.
* ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'': In “Jyushimatsu Falls in Love” (season 1 episode 9), the [[{{Keet}} normally cheery]] Jyushimatsu breaks down bawling after he gets rejected by a girl he had fallen in love with.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Max blubbered his eyes out after seeing his father lose to Ash.
** Oshawott wailed loudly and inconsolably while saying goodbye to Meloetta.
** In the end of an episode of the Kalos Saga, James' snotty tears look almost familiar to that from One Piece.
** Serena broke down sobbing after she lost her first Pokemon Showcase.
** Clemont sobbed in TearsOfJoy when Bunnelby agreed to join his team.
%%* Happens to nearly all the characters at various points in ''Manga/RaveMaster''.
* ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion'', in the third film, Shinji bursts into a bout of this, letting loose a flood of tears along with the remainder of his sanity, when he realizes that [[spoiler:Kaworu is about to kill himself to stop Fourth Impact]].
* In ''Anime/RODTheTV'' this often happens to Anita.
* In the 1978 film adaptation of ''Chirin No Suzu'' (known as ''Anime/RingingBell'' in the West) by Creator/TakashiYanase. After [[SweetSheep Chirin]] quickly realizes his mother's dead, he starts crying in a surprisingly realistic manner (especially in the Japanese version). He also starts crying loudly after [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he accidentally breaks all the mother bird's eggs]]. While we don't see any saliva or snot, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sad_chirin.jpg Chirin's face is very wrinkly]] and actually resembles the way an infant or toddler would cry in real life.
* In ''Manga/SaintBeast'', Maya's tears tend to go along with full-on tantrums, which work really well on his [[BigBrotherInstinct brother]].
* In ''Manga/SevenSeeds'', Ryo saves Semimaru from death and delivers an [[NotSoStoic uncharacteristic]] speech to him, yelling at him for his carelessness in even dangerous situations. The shock from what happened and realization of the consequences his attitude can have, Semimaru is curled up on the floor, hiding his face and obviously crying like a baby (though he tries to do it quietly) and the only audible thing to hear is repeated apologies.
* Deconstructed in ''Manga/SoulEater'' when, during a very serious fight, Medusa going on about parental abandonment/abuse prompts Deathscythe to exit [[EquippableAlly weapon mode]] and [[ItsPersonal personally threaten his opponent]]. However, even as he grabs her by the scruff, he chokes on his words and can't get anything out other than "Why you...!" and "You little..." Medusa calls him pathetic for not preparing his words properly and throws him away.
%% * A staple of Creator/StudioGhibli movies. Both kids in ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies'', Chihiro in ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', Sophie in ''Anime/HowlsMovingCastle''...
* In ''Anime/TamagotchiTheMovie'', Chamametchi blubbers after Mametchi gets angry at her, [[spoiler:thinking she's the whole reason he and his gang are in the situation they're in with Tamagotchi Planet having gotten sick from a lack of sunlight]].
* Rossiu gets a moment like this in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. He's got a stoic face for the crowds the whole time he's planning to sacrifice some of them to save all of them. But in private (as revealed by someone close to him), he was crying his heart out into his bed. It may have been the hardest thing he ever had to do, but he was going to do it.
* ''Manga/TerraforMARS'': [[TheHero Akari]] has himself a good cry when he admits he loved his childhood friend after her death. While it's a little more subdued in the manga, the anime has his face covered in streams of tears, mucus, and saliva. Akari even sniffles and snorts back snot.
* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'': In season 2, [[StockShonenHero Subaru]] does this in episode 16 out of joy from seeing his partner Thomas's [[spoiler:heartfelt reunion with his long-lost sister Ruby]].
* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'': Kaneki is reduced to this at the end of the first episode, tears and snot running down his face even as he refuses to take human flesh from Touka, screaming that he's still human, ''not'' a Ghoul. Touka, who is [[NoSympathy less than sympathetic]], eventually loses her patience and literally shoves a piece of human meat down his throat.
* ''Anime/TokyoGodfathers'': Pretty much Hana's default method of crying, especially when she is reunited with her foster mother. Also Miyuki and Sachiko. Seriously, nobody cries pretty in this movie.
* In the ''Anime/{{Trigun}}'' anime, when Vash wakes up after [[spoiler: being forced to kill Legato after a series-long vow of pacifism]] the audience doesn't get to see much of him actually crying but they do get to hear some uncomfortably anguished wailing.
* In ''Anime/WelcomeToTheNHK'' Sato bursts out into screaming, tortured wails at the end of episode 13. Although mostly off-screen, what we see is not at all pretty.
* In ''Manga/YuriIsMyJob'', Mitsuki Yano does this at the end of Volume 7. [[spoiler:At the end of the previous volume, she'd made a LoveConfession to her best friend Hime, who not only turns it down, but resigns from the salon where they both work to avoid hurting Mitsuki, which would almost certainly result in them never seeing each other again. Mitsuki pleads with Hime to reconsider, even offering to retract her confession, but Hime sadly says they can't go back to the way they used to be.]] Mitsuki starts loudly sobbing and buries her head in Hime's chest, who mentally apologizes to Mitsuki before leaving the room, sitting on the stairs and crying herself.
* Yuri Katsuki from ''Anime/YuriOnIce'' does this while calling out [[spoiler:Victor, who told Yuri he would resign from being his coach if he didn't place on the podium]] for his lack of faith in him.
* Nearly every book owner or mamono/mamodo (save resident badass Brago) breaks out into these in ''Konjiki no Gash Bell'' / ''Manga/ZatchBell'', mostly [[spoiler:whenever a mamodo’s book gets burnt, meaning they have to leave their partner and return to the mamodo world.]]
* ''Anime/ZombieLandSaga'':
** [[spoiler:Sakura tries to comfort Saki who's crying after experiencing heartbreak towards her PrecociousCrush. [[MoodWhiplash Sakura then starts hilariously sobbing herself]].]]
** [[spoiler:After a highly successful relief concert to help Saga after a flood, Kotaro is so proud of the girls that he goes into the PoseOfSupplication and cries messily.]]
----
* This happens often to several characters in ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', especially Armin and Eren, and civilians and soldiers alike have [[TearsOfFear crying breakdowns]] when they see they're doomed to be eaten by Titans. Deaths are rarely dignified.
* Whenever Miyoshi cries in ''Manga/{{Bakuman}}'', it starts with cute crying and devolves into this -- for example, when Mashiro and Takagi get their first serialized manga.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', anime Episode 21. After Ichigo defeats the giant Soul Reaper gate guard Jidanbō by destroying his axes, Jidanbō starts crying uncontrollably and lamenting their loss.
* A plot point in a ''Manga/CaseClosed'' case. [[spoiler: Two years before the ''Tottori Spider Mansion'' case took place, a girl named Misa Takeda and later her mother Kikuko committed suicide; while Misa's father/Kikuko's husband Nobukazu barely showed any emotions, Nobukazu's younger brother Ryuuji ''wept'' so intensely for their deaths that the neighbors and family members were shocked. This was actually the first hint that Misa was Kikuno and ''Ryuuji's'' love child and Nobukazu was aware of it; when Conan heard about this detail he began to decipher the Takedas' ''[[BigScrewedUpFamily very]]'' [[BigScrewedUpFamily dark family dynamics]]...]]
* Played for laughs in ''[[Manga/{{Karin}} Chibi Vampire Karin]]''. Karin is ''not'' attractive when she cries. Most characters tend to look pointedly away when she does.
* ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'': Rosette has a full-blown snot-dripping sob fest towards the end of the manga [[spoiler:in the afterlife when she realizes that she's dead and admits "Chrono! I don't want to leave you!"]]
* In the ''Fluffy Fluffy Cinnamoroll'' comics from Creator/{{Sanrio}}. [[ProneToTears Mocha]] does this a lot when she's seen bawling her eyes out, one chapter has her frustrated about how her fortune was horrible that month ([[ButtMonkey her luck is usually bad to begin with]]), Cinnamoroll pretended to be a fortune teller and her friends tried to cheer her up with a parfait with a chocolate heart but Espresso (who's usually TheSmartGuy) foolishly thought it was a good idea to use [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Milk's]] head as a table which leads the parfait to fall on the ground with the chocolate heart breaking in half which causes Mocha to cry loudly like a baby.
* Literature Girl in ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys'' had one in the skit ''High School Boys and the Way We Are'', breaking down crying ''like a little child'' after a humiliating string of {{Epic Fail}}s.
* ''Manga/DevilMan'':
** In the ''Amon: The Apocalypse of Devilman'' OVA, upon finding [[spoiler: Miki's severed head on a pike held by a mob, Akira kills those responsible. He then clutches her head to his chest and begins to cry.]] Akira then falls to his knees, sobbing and screaming as Satan and Psycho Jenny watch from a distance.
** In the 2018 adaptation, ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'', Akira has to break the news to Miki [[spoiler: that her entire family has died]]. As Miki wordlessly retreats to her room, a close-up shows Akira's face contorting as tears begin streaming from his eyes. Akira tilts his head back and sobs loudly in an almost childlike manner. Miki, alone in her room, hears Akira crying and is finally hit by what has happened. Soon both Miki and Akira are heard wailing.
%% * In ''Manga/DGrayMan'', this happens every time anyone cries for real.
* In episode 9 of ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', after the rain washes Growlmon's camouflage paint away, Takato becomes so upset (possibly overwhelmed with stress) that he starts sobbing in this manner for almost a minute straight.
* ''Manga/DrStone'': Taiju is prone to this at emotional moments. When he and Yuzuriha finally speak to Senku [[spoiler:over the cell phone]] 50 chapters and one year after parting ways, he's only able to get out an incoherent "SENKU! I... I'm... SENKUUU!", to which Senku responds, "You're not Senku. I'm Senku, dammit."
* ''Manga/FairyTail'':
** Natsu. [[spoiler: After witnessing Igneel getting killed by Acnologia, Natsu is reduced to tears, unable to tell Igneel all the things he wanted to tell him.]]
** Lucy also does this when [[spoiler: she sacrifices Aquarius to summon the Celestial Spirit King.]]
* ''Manga/GakuenBabysitters'' makes it clear in the first few chapters that crying, ''especially'' from very young children, is loud, undignified, and very annoying to most people who are around and don't know what's wrong. Save for a few important moments, it's almost never portrayed as cute whenever the children cry en masse.
* ''Anime/TheGirlWhoLeaptThroughTime'': When Makoto cries, it is full-force waterworks and wailing. She most notably does this on the school roof when she believes that she's screwed everything up and can do nothing to fix it.
* ''Anime/PrettyCure'':
** ''Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure'': This is pretty much standard for Tsubomi when she gets really emotional.
** ''Anime/GlitterForce'': [[EverybodyCries The Precures along with Candy]] sob themselves ragged in the final episode [[spoiler:upon finding out that they have to say goodbye to Candy because the Miracle Jewel doesn't allow traveling between worlds.]]
* At the end of the second episode of ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'', Saya [[HeroicBSOD breaks down after killing her first zombie]] and collapses sobbing into Saeko's arms.
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'':
** ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency'': This is how Esidisi reacts after his arm is chopped off by Joseph, [[spoiler:turns out it is to catch him off-guard as well as a stress-relieving technique]]. This is even translated to [[VideoGame/JojosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle the fighting game]] as a counter that causes the opponent's Heat Heart Gauge to go down if they attack him while crying.
** ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'': Okuyasu does this twice when the topic of Koichi's relationship with Yukako comes up. Also drinking the water in Antonio's restaurant, he starts crying momentarily as a side effect of his eyes being shriveled up and relieved of insomnia.
** ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind'': Narancia cries [[spoiler: as he begs Bucciarati not to leave Abbacchio's body behind after his death. In the anime he even trips and falls, proceeding to lay on the ground while sobbing and wailing loudly.]]
*** In the anime Mista, while in Trish's body, lets out a SkywardScream through streams of tears [[spoiler: when Narancia is killed.]]
* ''Manga/{{Kakegurui}}'':
** Itsuki Sumeragi, the first Student Council member that the main character Yumeko Jabami faces off against, turns into an utter crying wreck when her cheating at Double Concentration is not only exposed after Jabami easily beats her in a round but now she's being challenged to put up HER OWN fingernails as collateral!
* ''Manga/KimiNiTodoke:''
** Narrowly avoided when [[ShrinkingViolet Sawako]] was about to cry because her [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl best friends]] helped her get ready for a New Year's date with love interest Kazehaya. Ayane and Chizu realized the [[ProneToTears ultra-sensitive Sawako]] was about to cry because she was so happy to have such great friends, and quickly pleaded with Sawako to hold it in. Sawako stopped herself from turning on the waterworks just in time to save her makeup from becoming a godawful mess.
%% ** This is played straight on several other occasions, though; when crying characters in this series don't just look adorably sad or [[OcularGushers hilarious]], this does happen.
* Aqua from ''LightNovel/KonoSuba'' does this so often, it's practically a RunningGag. Usually, this happens when [[ButtMonkey something goes horribly wrong for her]] or she [[AintTooProudToBeg has to beg Kazuma to do something for her]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDj5fwLLx5A Have a look for yourself]].
* In ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia2017'', Akko does this after she and her friends [[spoiler:cure a ghost of its chronic sadness]] at the magic-themed SchoolFestival. PlayedForLaughs, since they're TearsOfJoy. The announcer comes over to interview her while she's still wailing uncontrollably.
* All 9 members of µ's break down sobbing like this in the 11th episode of season 2 of ''Anime/LoveLive'' during the episode's climactic scene. Not even [[SmallNameBigEgo Nico]] could hold back for long.
* ''Anime/LupinIII'': Zenigata is prone to this, [[AntagonistInMourning usually when he thinks Lupin has been killed]].
* In ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' Mikuru engages in this in the last episode of "Endless Eight." It's one of the few times she's not very cute-looking in the series as she has twin trails of snot running down her face.
* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}:''
** In ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', the White Base crew do this after the death of [[spoiler:Guntank co-pilot Ryu Jose]], complete with [[TheGoodCaptain Bright Noah]] collapsing on all fours and sobbing "ItsAllMyFault!". It was considered such {{Narm}}, especially in light of the much more restrained and touching salute they gave the late [[spoiler:Matlida Adjan]], that the compilation movie version completely redid the scene.
** ''Anime/SDGundamForce'''s Bakunetsumaru is prone to doing this, usually for comic effect. At the end of the series, Zero calls him a "Crybaby Samurai"
** ''Anime/GundamBuildDiversReRise'' has a painfully realistic portrayal of this in Episode 20 as two years of trauma come crashing down on [[spoiler: Hiroto after he had to kill the artificial intelligence girl he'd fallen in love with to save GBN from falling apart]].
