* In the first episode of BalladOfAShinigami, Momo is in tears at the end, and is called a crybaby by her fuzzy sidekick. She replies, 'The dead cannon cry, so I cry for them.'

* Edward Elric, the burnt out and cynical ByronicHero of ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' (first anime), coldly prepares to kill Sloth, the [[CameBackWrong resurrected remains]] of his mother, and apathetically asks his UnluckyChildhoodFriend Winry "What are you crying for?", to which she sincerely answers "You're going to kill your own mother! If you won't cry, I'll cry for you!"

* After the ending credits in episode 3 of the second season of ''{{Gundam 00}}'' we see a scene where Marina and Setsuna are talking, and he says all he knows in life is fightng, then she starts crying, and when Setsuna asks why she cries, she replies "because you won't".

* Rock, the only truly decent human being in the CrapsackWorld of ''BlackLagoon'', listens with sadness and horror rather than disgust at the coldly delivered HannibalLecture of Gretel, a little girl so traumatized by rape and torture with her twin brother Hansel back in Romania that murder has become the sole source of joy for them. He holds her in a tight embrace and weeps, begging her to accept the possibility that there is hope, and still a possibility of a new and happy life for a little girl like her. This act of ''sincere'' kindness, so alien to Gretel, was enough to move even a mass murderer like her to blush like a ''real'' little girl for the briefest of moments... [[spoiler: and then one of the [[TearJerker saddest]] moments of EvilCannotComprehendGood ever. Her version of thanks was to offer herself sexually to Rock, thinking that is the only way an adult will appreciate her in return.]]

* In {{Kuroshitsuji}}, episode 24, when Ciel [[spoiler: is about to die]], he comments that [[spoiler: Elizabeth]] will probably cry a lot. Sebastian adds that [[spoiler: Lizzie]] will cry for two as she knows he never cries.

* ''FinalFantasyVII CrisisCore'' references this trope with its tagline; "Men cry not for themselves, but for their comrades." [[DownerEnding This]] [[TearJerker is a]] [[SnicketWarningLabel fair warning.]]
** Strangely enough, there's only two instances of crying in the entire game: first when [[spoiler: Zack cries after killing Angeal]], and second when [[spoiler: Cloud cries out in despair when Zack dies]]. Zack's worldview, oddly enough, doesn't allow much time for crying, what with being all upbeat all the time.

** In a straighter example of the manga/Brotherhood, she admits to opening up his watch and bursts into tears. Ed tells her not to cry, and she answers, "You brothers won't cry, so I'm crying for you." This leads to a CrowningMomentOfHeartWarming later on in the series.
