History TearJerker / Doraemon

* In the same movie, after Future Noby gets stuck in Present Noby's body (They use Substituion Rope), he gets unconcious. Noby's friends tries to wake him up, but nothing works. Doraemon gets in time with Future Noby's body (whom is actually Present Noby and is also unconcious), and tries to use the Substituion Rope to return to their bodies, but because it's been an hour since they use it, they can't switch them back and their memories starts to earse. Doraemon begs Noby to not forget about him or his friends.

* The begining of "Stand By Me Doraemon 2", after Future Noby's single party (In the night before the wedding), Noby drives to his house. He at first smiles for marrying the woman of her dreams, but then, slowly, becomes depressed. He looks at the window and remembers his old childhood friend.

* Nobita's Bad Future: While not as extreme as some examples of this trope, Nobita's original future consists of him failing to pass his education, accidentally burning up his own company and crippling his family in debt for generations after his business is declared bankrupt. It affects Jaiko as well, as she lives an unsuccessful married life with him and affects her manga's career, ending up resenting Nobita for crippling them and being forced to take care of Nobita's offsprings.

!! Movies

* In the original ''Record of Nobita's Spaceblazer'', where a portal to another dimension forms under a floor tile in Nobita's room. Doraemon finds a love interest there, and said portal gets destroyed at the end of the movie, severing Doraemon from ever being able to visit his love interest ever again. The movie's [[AwardBaitSong Award Bait tear jerker of a theme song]] (played as the portal vanishes) brings on the full effect.[[note]]The MoodWhiplash that follows does not make it any less tolerable.[[/note]]
* ''Nobita and the Steel Troops'' and its remake ''Nobita and the New Steel Troops ~Angel Wings~'' have several tearjerking moments.

* In ''Nobita and the Kingdom of Clouds'': When Doraemon and Nobita returned to Earth with a Anywhere Door (which an outraged Tamako had turned the dial with), only to find out that the Kingdom of Clouds ''already'' launched the flood several days afterwards. Once they had returned to the present time while still in the Kingdom of Clouds, Nobita then develops a dream on him finally getting a slightly lower score on his exam other than zero...while running to show the score to his parents and his teacher on a flying boat that carries them to the sunset.
* The ending scene of ''Nobita and the Windmaster''. Fuuko decides to stop a violent storm from destroying Earth by using its heated wind body [[HeroicSacrifice at the expense of destroying itself]]. After the storm dies down, Nobita catches Fuuko's plush body when it falls down from the sky, crying while a montage of how they first met plays with sad music playing in the background.
* The ending scene of ''Nobita's Dinosaur'' (at least its 2006 version, this troper hasn't seen the original) is both this and Heartwarming. Despite using the scene concept two times through the movie, Nobita having to say goodbye to Piisuke during the emotional climax gains a different meaning than when he first did the same earlier in the movie. Before, he did so because he was forced to by the circumstances and attention attracted by the dinosaur: more for his own sake than for his unusual pet, telling it not to follow him despite just blindly despatching it in the past. After his long journey through the prehistoric times, reaffirming bonds with his friends and to help Piisuke get to the part of the planet it should have been in, Nobita ends up telling the animal not to follow him, but now for its own sake: it can now live the normal life surrounded by its own kind he would otherwise have had were he to be born so long ago.

* Some of the fan-written endings mentioned in the main entry fit as well. Especially the infamous "happy ending", when the newly-repaired Doraemon wakes up for the first time in 35 years, and Nobita and Shizuka both [[ArtShift switch to looking just like they did when he was last awake]] and {{glomp}} the confused cat. The fanbase was so convinced it was canon that they were emailing the publisher asking them to verify and/or animate it.

** The first time Nobita goes back in time to see his grandma, it's emotive on its own. The reason behind this? Nobita felt guilty about being too selfish with her (and just to fix his teddy bear) when he was a small kid, and now that she was long gone, he wanted her to forgive him about that, because he couldn't do so in the past. [[spoiler: And when she finally recognizes ''him'', the moment brought them to tears, because she knew that she didn't have too much time left to see her grandson to grow up.]]
** There's one manga chapter with a gadget that can bring back lost items based on the user's memories. Nobita who goes overboard with it brings stuff back from his childhood and play with them, saying that he wants to drown in a nostalgia and giving up on his life. Then he finds a daruma doll and he instantly remembers one memory with her grandma. [[spoiler:Nobita was crying on the ground after falling down on the houseyard. Nobita's grandma (who was implied to be sick that time) woke up from her futon, rolled said daruma and showed Nobita that daruma was strong because it could go back up after falling down. Nobita swore to her grandma, now lying in futon, to become strong like daruma. She then passed away right after that.]] The sadness after that flashback is enough to give Nobita the determination to go back to studying.

** A similar episode where Dorami finds an abandoned doll on Christmas Eve, and when they take it to its owner, [[spoiler:she reveals that she intentionally threw it out and asked Santa for a replacement.]]
* The episode where Nobita accidentally called a Snow Spirit. They started as friends until the spirit became a ClingyJealousGirl towards Nobita and forced him to play outside for hours during a snow storm. Nobita caught a very bad fever as a result. Knowing she really liked Nobita and felt bad that Nobita got sick because of her, she sacrificed herself to heal Nobita's fever and in exchange she had to vanish with the winter and [[BittersweetEnding spring came early instead]].

* Some of the fan-written endings mentioned in the main entry fit as well. Especially the infamous "happy ending", when the [[spoiler: newly-repaired Doraemon wakes up for the first time in 35 years, and Nobita and Shizuka both [[ArtShift switch to looking just like they did when he was last awake]] and {{glomp}} the confused cat.]] The fanbase was so convinced it was canon that they were emailing the publisher asking them to verify and/or animate it.

* [[spoiler:Lulili's sacrifice]] at the end of “A Beautiful Girl that Nobita Loved.”
* "Goodbye Shizuka" can also count as this. It has Nobita deciding to cut all ties with Shizuka using whatever means necessary so that [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy she'll have a good future]], culiminating in [[spoiler: Shizuka rescuing Nobita after he takes too many "Repellent Pills" that Doraemon gave him.]]
** [[spoiler: Shizuka's speech to Nobita near the end of the story can count as both this and a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}, as it shows how much she cared for Nobita and how worried she was for him.]]

** The climax scene. The remakes gives more impact because of [[AscendedExtra one character's screentime increase in the story]]. [[spoiler: Riruru had performed a HeroicSacrifice by [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong rewriting Amu and Emu's programming]] after going back in time to 30,000 years ago, thereby rewriting Mechatopia's history. As a result, she and Pippo, beings from the present, [[DisappearsIntoLight fade]] due to the changes. During their final scene, they are exchanging lines. It's heartwarming to see how far they've come from hating humans; and heartbreaking, with Shizuka desperately begging for Riruru to not disappear and Nobita helplessly holding Pippo.]]

* The song "Boku no Doraemon" can make you feel pretty bad for Doraemon.

* In the original ''Record of Nobita's Spaceblazer'', where a portal to another dimension forms under a floor tile in Nobita's room. Doraemon finds a love interest there, and said portal gets destroyed at the end of the movie, severing Doraemon from ever being able to visit his love interest ever again.

* For Doraemon's Cantonese fans, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_scI1WMAycthis this song]] gets even more sadder after Doraemon's Cantonese voice actor passed away on January 2, 2015.
