'''Numbuh One:''' He was... a comrade.

** Decommisioning itself is a gloomy process. Imagine losing most of your me
mories from your childhood. Imagine forgetting your crushes and your best friends, and acting like they never existed.

** Decommisioning itself is a gloomy process. Imagine losing most of your memories from your childhood. Imagine forgetting your crushes and your best friends, and acting like they never existed.

*** [[FridgeBrilliance After a while, this becomes true for all of us as well.]] [[FridgeHorror Can you name your first crush? Your second? How about what you and your best friend used to do in kindergarten?]]

* Numbuh Zero's final message to Numbuh One via the broken recommissioning module at the end of ''Operation Z.E.R.O.'' is both heartfelt and heartbreaking, saying that while he might not remember what he did, he wants to go on his greatest mission: [[spoiler:being a father to his son.]]

** Decommisioning itself is a gloomy process. Imagine loosing most of your memories from your childhood. Imagine forgetting your crushes and your best friends, and acting like they never existed.

** Numbuh Four is having fun in his time as a "bully fighter", playing matador to caffeinated adults who act like bulls. The heavy stuff comes when at the championship, his next adult to fight is [[spoiler:his father (whose face is shown for the first time]].

* In Operation: Z.E.R.O. when, [[spoiler:after getting to know the real Sector Z, they reverted back into their Delightful form.]]
--> "Tell the Kids Next Door we miss them!"
** Or later on in "Op: [=ZERO=]" [[spoiler: when we see Numbuh Zero once again as Numbuh One's bumbling dad, with no memories of being a KND operative. "Just playing with an old friend, Dad."]]
* In earlier episodes, the whole process of [[LaserGuidedAmnesia decommissioning]] is glossed over. Then in the opening of "Op: [=MAURICE=]," we're introduced to an operative, Numbuh Nine, who's a good friend of Sector V. It's his thirteenth birthday and he's willingly going to be decommissioned. The combination of his speech, his screams while getting his memories wiped and walking out as a sullen teenager with no memories is pretty damn depressing [[spoiler: even if it was all an act]]. And the Crowning Music of Sadness makes things even ''more'' emotional.

** Numbah Five's GrowingUpSucks speech from that episode.
-->'''Numbah Five:''' My sister's a teen! The greatest operative I ever knew is a teen! Look at me. I'm practically a teen now!
* Vin Moosk's HeroicSacrifice at the end of Operation KNOT.
-->'''Numbah Two''': Who was that guy?
-->'''Numbah One:''' He was...a comrade.
* How can we miss the ending of "Op: [=INTERVIEWS=]?
** Adding extra weight to it? It's the audience's goodbye as well. It's been a great six season run, and seeing it come to an end is just heartbreaking.
---> '''Numbuh One''': ''Just promise me one thing, that you'll never grow up, not even if you live to be a hundred and don't have any memories of our adventures together, you'll still be a kid at heart.''
* Op. FOUNTAIN. It's pretty sad when they begin to contemplate what will happen to Leona when 300 years of suppressed aging will catch up to her. Even after they save her, and she double crosses them, and they save her again, as 1-4 year olds. Waving goodbye to her fountain, watching it crumble to the ground. Her finding a different one and laughing made up for it, a little.
* Numbuh Zero's final message to Numbuh One via the broken recommissioning module at the end of Operation Z.E.R.O. is both heartfelt and heartbreaking, saying that while he might not remember what he did, he wants to go on his greatest mission: [[spoiler: being a father to his son.]]
* Op. SLUMBER, where Numbuh 86 has to invent a super-secret, girls-only mission to get people to come to her slumber party.
---> '''Numbuh 86''': I know it's unusual, but my mom is forcing me to throw a slumber party and .. I had to invite someone.
---> '''Numbuh 3''': Why didn't you invite some of your own friends?
---> ''Numbuh 86 hangs her head''
---> '''Numbuh 3''': Oh.
** It makes the moment at the end, where Numbuh 3 insists that she's 86's friend, all the more heartwarming.

* "Operation M.A.T.A.D.O.R.": Numbah 4 is having fun in his time as a "bully fighter", playing matador to caffeinated adults who act like bulls. The heavy stuff comes when at the championship, his next adult to fight is [[spoiler: his father (whose face is shown for the first time]].
** Also when he learns the dark side to the fights: [[spoiler: adults are lured, captured and thrown into pens and force-fed enough caffeine to make them charge at anything, even their own kids. Numbuh 4's Dad got roped into the whole mess because he believed he was going to a seminar...on ''being a better dad''. OUCH.]]
* The [[http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/18100000/Stay-Young-codename-kids-next-door-18179248-2334-1594.jpg last image]] from the series is enough to make anyone bawl.

* Surely [[WookMuff this troper]] can't be the only one who shed a single manly tear in Operation: Z.E.R.O. when, [[spoiler:after getting to know the real Sector Z, they reverted back into their Delightful form.]]

** [[spoiler: This troper will always watch that scene and feel like shedding some ManlyTears. Expecially with the variation on the usual battle cry.]]
*** [[spoiler:Numbah 5: 5!]]
*** [[spoiler:Numbah 4: 4!]]
*** [[spoiler:Numbah 3: 3!]]
*** [[spoiler:Numbah 2: 2!]]
*** [[spoiler:Numbah 1: 1! KIDS NEXT DOOR! Goodbye...]]
* This troper's heart twists when she thinks about the fact that the Delightful Children are not only [[spoiler: missing operatives, but missing children as well.]]
** [[FridgeHorror You totally broke my heart right there.]]

* [[spoiler: The Ending of Operation: INTERVIEWS, when Numbuh 1 is forced to leave Earth. Thankfully, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming his parents see him off with a good-bye.]] This troper heard some FridgeLogic on whether or not his parents should have let him go. Well, FridgeBrilliance occurs when you realize no parent wants their children to leave (most of the time they leave to college), and if they let them go, they risk not being able to see them again (not that it's always the case, but still). That's exactly the same case here, making this scene even more effective.]]
** Not to mention [[spoiler:Nigel's goodbye with his friends and fellow operatives from Sector V. This troper will always watch that scene and feel like shedding some ManlyTears. Expecially with the variation on the usual battle cry.]]

* Lizzie's breakup with Nigel is unexpectedly serious. She recognizes that Nigel's duty to the Kids Next Door will never give her the boyfriend she wants and decides that breaking it off would be for the best. Might not drive someone to tears but it is a well-handled moment of drama that can inspire some empathy from the viewer.

Codename:KidsNextDoor may be a kids show, but it can still be sad!
