History TearJerker / DetectiveConan

** This troper was already crying the moment [[spoiler: Older!Conan was looking for Ran in their special places.]]

** The "Naniwa Murder Case" (episodes 118 to 119): It was already hard to see [[spoiler: Conan taking a knife to the gut for Ran and being saved only by an amulet that Heiji gave him]], but the worst/better comes in the end... [[spoiler: The SerialKiller SympatheticMurderer was Yusuke Sakata, a detective who worked with Kazuha and Heiji's fathers, and he did it out of revenge since 20 years ago, ''his'' father was killed via a prank by the {{Asshole victim}}s that went '''horribly'' wrong. Heiji finds out first (and he ''is'' appalled when he does, as is Conan a little later when he reaches the same conclusion) and goes confront Yusuke and make him turn himself in before he kills the last two targets and frames one of them for all of the murders.]] And then, ItGetsWorse... [[spoiler: Yusuke [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyTJfhSCkqU pulls out his gun and tries to commit suicide,]] so he and Heiji struggle. Heiji manages to disarm Yusuke (and sets the warehouse they're in on fire as he empties the gun), but ''he'' has been shot in the stomach. ''Then'' comes the MotiveRant... followed by [[WhatTheHellHero Heiji calling Yusuke a fool for using law as an element of revenge]], then saving Sakata's life by helping him walk away from the fire.]] Really, really strong stuff, and not even the usually [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible horrible]] Latin-American dub could kill the emotions.

** Made even better/worse by the next chapter... [[spoiler: Where her now shrunk little sister Shiho aka Ai Haibara appears. It's not ''that'' bad until the ''end'' of the episode: except for one or two tears she kept her cool, but after the case of the day (the murder of Akemi's mentor, the ''real'' Masami Hirota) is resolved, [[{{Kuudere}} Ai]] sorrofwully asks Conan why didn't he save Akemi when he had the chance [[CryCute and collapses in tears]].]]

''DetectiveConan'' has a general policy of [[SympatheticMurderer making its large amount of murderers sympathetic]] and {{Asshole Victim}}s. As a result, this series is full of tear-jerking {{Motive Rant}}s. Just a few examples:

Most of them are thank to filler episodes, as proof that fillers aren't necessarily bad.

--> [[spoiler: '''Older!Ran''':]] "''I've already waited ten years... so another ten will be just fine.''"

** First, the "Great Writer's Disappearance Case" (episodes 116-117): The famous novelist Nitaro Shinmei and his wife have been missing for a while, apparently in retirement as he sends his scripts and novels to his editor via mail. Their daughter Kaori goes to Kogoro and Co. so they can decipher a series of strange code messages, which hint that the Shinmeis have actually been held hostage all the time. [[spoiler: There never was a kidnapping, or even a crime. It was the very old and sickly Shinmei's ThanatosGambit and last mystery, so he could die peacefully. There never was a crime. Mr. Shinmei was all the time in an hotel, living his last days peacefully with his wife. In fact, when he's found, Shinmei is already dead of natural cases, and Mrs. Shinmei tearfully explains it all.]]

* The case of a certain villain of the week in a ({{filler}}) case, "The _Murder in the Mountain Villa!": he was the pupil and ghost writer for the VictimOfTheWeek (a very eccentric murder mystery author who dressed up as a vampire) and said writer used to pay for his IllGirl younger sister's hospital bills in exchange for the guy's hard work. [[spoiler: We later learn the horrible truth: the poor girl actually died six months ago, because her older brother's CompleteMonster boss actually ''bribed her doctor into keeping her on '''painkillers only''' instead of paying for '''crucial''' and expensive treatment abroad (as per his end of the bargain)'', so the brother could remain indefinitely time as his subordinate, which ultimately killed her. And when the poor brother found out from the guilt-ridden nurse who used to tend to the girl, he went nuts with pain and murdered said boss. AssholeVictim seems a bit... [[{{understatement}} lenient]].]]. Conan himself lampshades the trope as he thinks [[spoiler: "It's said that when a person is bitten by a vampire, they become vampires as well. He killed his boss and now is guilty. Poor guy! Revenge completely drained his body, mind, and soul..."]]

** Then her suicide plan is botched (there was no gasoline, only water), and Miyuki breaks down even more. (Why, why, why? His fire lit so easily, so why doesn't mine?!") Luckily, the chairman appeared and asked Miyuki to live for Hideomi, as [[spoiler: her mother]] would've wanted her to. [[spoiler: The chairman's first love turned out to be Miyuki's deceased mother.]]

* In episode 605, the murderer [[spoiler: the cameraman Mifune]] commit a crime for the sake of [[spoiler: his girlfriend, an IdolSinger named Kira, whose murder was written off as an accident. The saddest part is that [[spoiler: he killed the wrong person, a Kira fangirl named Shouko who had covered up for one of his previous murders. Shouko knew his part on it, and apparently threatened him with revealing it... and yet she loved him, but had to hide her love cause she knew he still loved poor Kira; she didn't offer any resistence when Mifune strangled her to death, thinking that she'd denounce him (when in fact she had decided to not do so), since being attacked by him made Shouko cross the DespairEventHorizon.]]

* For one that isn't a MotiveRant? Look no further than one [[spoiler: Akemi Miyano, who in the anime has an AlasPoorVillain death in Conan's arms.]]

** Also, made worse because [[spoiler: a CosplayOtakuGirl named Maho, also a Kira fangirl, reveals that she was present in the party where Kira died (Mifune thought it was Shouko)... and that she was heartbroken at Kira's death, since befriending Kira in RealLife helped Maho to get over the bullying that almost destroyed her life. And ''then'', Maho tells the aforementioned truth about her fellow fangirl Shouko's love for Mifune.]]

* In episode 605, the murderer [[spoiler: the cameraman Mifune]] commit a crime for the sake of [[spoiler: his girlfriend, an IdolSinger named Kira, whose murder was written off as an accident.

Shouko knew his part on it, and apparently threatened him with revealing it... and yet she loved him, but had to hide her love cause she knew he still loved poor Kira; she didn't offer any resistence when Mifune strangled her to death, thinking that she'd denounce him (when in fact she had decided to not do so), since being attacked by him made Shouko cross the DespairEventHorizon.]]

The saddest part is that [[spoilee: he killed the wrong person, a Kira fangirl named Shouko who had covered up for one of his previous murders (the manga artist Hirasaka, who killed Kira by throwing her to the floor during a drunked fit and injuring her as she hit her head on the floor, as well as other people who were there). Shouko knew his part on it... and yet she loved him, but had to hide away her love cause she knew he still loved poor Kira and wouldn't like her back; she didn't offer any resistence when Mifune strangled her to death, since being attacked by him made Shouko cross the DespairEventHorizon and lose the will to live.]]

* In episode 605, the murderer Mifune commit a crime for his girlfriend whose death is write of as an accident. The saddest part is that he mistook one his has killed, Shouko who covered his previous murder as she try to threaten him, in truth it is because she loved him but had to hid away her feeling cause she know that he won't return her feeling.

*** And it's really not helped by [[spoiler: Conan talking to Heiji, who had helped him resolve the case... and having flashbacks about [[spoiler: Seiji Asou, whose death he considered as [[MyGreatestFailure his greatest failure]].]]

* Hyuuga Miyuki, a girl whose parents was killed by her lover, Hideomi, when she was only 6; he later redeemed and saved and raised and encouraged her to live. While he himself live with sin. When she proposed him, he couldn't take it anymore and commited suicide out of guilt.
** Luckily her lover's father asked her to live for Hideomi as mother would like to say that too (His first love is her mother.)

* Takahata Kyouko who killed her brother in law, because that she believed that he is the reason her sister died,but it turnout that her sister passed away with illness,before that she sent a message that when her husband finally stand on his own, he will apologized to her sister.

* The PoorCommunicationKills episode where [[spoiler: A JerkAss IdolSinger is killed by his beautiful ex-girlfriend and manager because of his mental abuse towards her. It's then revealed that he was a JerkAss out of guilty because the girl got plastic surgery to be beautiful for him, but he loved her just the way she was before fixing her face.]]

Most of them are thank to filler episode.

* [[spoiler: Ran]]'s BrokenPedestal episode, where [[spoiler: the killer was her favorite teacher at middle school]], and she had to relay Conan/Shinichi's deductions (which he sent to her through a hidden microphone). Seeing [[spoiler: Ran]] shake and cry as she "resolved" the case, with Conan mentally kicking himself as he tells her what happened... sniffff..

* A number of the PoorCommunicationKills examples are particularly tragic, especially when a misunderstanding leads to the death (sometimes at one's own hands) of a loved one. (Most notably the case where [[spoiler:an American's written word "shine" is misread as "shi ne," or "die", causing his lover to kill herself.]])
** A girl reject her friend confession because she know that her other friend loves him.

* Hyuuga Miyuki, a girl whose parent was killed by her lover,Hideomi when she was only 6, he later redeemed and saved and raised and encouraged her to live. While he himself live with sin. When she proposed him, he couldn't take it anymore and suicide out of guilt.

''DetectiveConan'' has a general policy of [[SympatheticMurderer making its large amount of murderers sympathetic]] and {{Asshole Victim}}s. As a result, this series is full of tear-jerking {{Motive Rant}}s. Just a few examples pulled out from elsewhere of this wiki:

* Hiroki Sawada of the NonSerialMovie is DeusAngstMachina to tear jerking levels: ChildProdigy who was [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation a bit too much for Japanese schools to deal with]], two separate {{Parental Abandonment}}s, and his stepfather, despite recognizing his ability, deprived him of socialization-- and a later case of his DNA tracking his stepfather provoked the latter's InTheBlood response-- which culmulated in his pretty epic [[StartsWithASuicide suicide in th movie's opening]]-- at the age of 10.

* Hyuuga Miyuki, a girl whose parent was killed by her lover,Hideomi when she was only 6, he later redempted and saved and raised and encouraged her to live. While he himself live with sin. When she proposed him, he couldn't take it anymore and suicide out of guilt.
