History TearJerker / BlackLagoon

* This is anime only, but at the end of Roberta's Blood Trail, upon seeing the NighInvulnerable NinjaMaid [[spoiler:reduced to a half-blind wheelchair-bound cripple with one arm and leg missing]] one can't help, but feel a sad.

* YMMY, but at the end of Roberta's long arc, it's very sad to see [[spoiler: all those genuinely decent soldiers get brutally murdered by her, when they were just following orders.]] This troper lost all hope for [[spoiler: Roberta]] at that point.

** There is a reason [[DownerEnding the ending of episode 15 is different from normal]]. Every time you listen to ''The World of Midnight'' tears start flowing, otherwise you really are heartless.

* "DON'T LOOK AT HER, ROCK! LOOK AT ME!" (Rock doesn't)

** The omake that features Yukio and her classmate Maki can come off as this, especially after the major [[DownerEnding]].

--> Taganaka: "Ibraham! Don't forget we have a job to do! '''IBRAHAM!''' No matter what you do, or how hard you fight, your son is never coming back!"

* The last third of episode 15. Oh God. Also, Episode 24, though maybe not as much.

* Near the end of the Hansel and Gretel arc, Gretel tells Rock what she and Hansel went through, relaying her bleak, nihilistic philosophy about life and the world. Absolutely horrified, Rock gives her a hug and tells her that the world can be a beautiful place and should be a beautiful place, especially for children like her. Unfortunately, having had her humanity stripped from her at such a young age, Gretel doesn't respond in the most healthy of manners. Given how disturbingly common Gretel's situation was in Ceaușescu's Romania, it made even this most jaded troper feel something in his eye.

* The deaths of [[spoiler:Hansel and Gretel]]. Since the series usually consist of over the top action scenes where dozens of {{Mooks}} are gunned down by our HeroicSociopath "[[VillainProtagonist heroes]]" without a second thought, an arc that could actually be taken '''seriously''' was a severe case of MoodWhiplash. The arc following it was so [[RefugeInAudacity over the top ridiculous]] that it actually seemed like an apology to the viewer for putting them through that.

** That arc also gives us Balalaika's StartOfDarkness. It's especially poignant when you realize that the song playing while Balalaika decides to join the Mafia is the same song that played during [[spoiler:Hanzel and Gretel]]'s death scenes.

** The worst part? ''[[TogetherInDeath That]] was about as close to a happy ending as they could get.'' The only way to improve it would be for [[spoiler: Hansel's]] death to have been less painful.

** And it's not just the ending or Balalaika's backstory. There's also the scene with Yukio telling her kouhai Maki good-bye and asking her to take care of her mother before she abandons her school and takes over the clan, leaving the poor girl in tears and screaming "Sempai, sempai!"... *SOB*
