History TearJerker / FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor

* Akira attempts to save a bus full of innocent civilians from a Festum attack. [[spoiler: Despite the fact that he gets there in time, everyone gets assimilated anyways and he's left holding what's left of their bloody clothing and a few assimilation crystals.]] This kicks him into a HeroicBSOD, followed by BrokenTears and a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. Watching and listening to him have a breakdown, especially over the comm as Hiroto is subjected to, is awful. The fact that he is voiced by Creator/YukiKaji, a voice actor who does not hold anything back when it comes to emotions, doesn't help.

* The scene where [[spoiler:Kouyou bids his friends one last farewell before turning into a Master Festum to defend the island.]]
* [[spoiler: Sakura being assimilated, while being [[MindRape mind raped and losing herself all alone]] and struggling desperately to remember Kenji]].

* Kazuki admitting that all he ever wanted was to apologize to Soushi for [[spoiler: taking his eye out.]] When he is made to choose to either live or disappear he doesn't really pick one, all he basically says is "I want to really talk to him one last time" which saved him. The way he crumbles over the consol at the thought his most important person hated him is utterly heartbreaking.

* [[spoiler: Mamoru's]] death. It happens quickly compared to [[spoiler: Shouko's]] death and [[spoiler: Kouyou's assimilation]], but somehow that makes it more powerful, especially his [[spoiler: vision of Sakura and Kenji holding hands right before he's caught in Fenrir.]]

* ''[[{{Prequel}} Right]] [[DoomedByCanon of Left]]''. That in itself should suffice, but special mention must go to [[spoiler:the deaths of main characters, Ryo and Yumi]].

* Chizuru and Fumihiko telling the parents of the third generation pilots that their kids will be going into battle. The looks of absolute anguish and despair are ''heartbreaking''.

** I see that and raise you [[spoiler: Sakura being assimilated, while being [[MindRape mind raped and losing herself all alone]] and struggling desperately to remember Kenji]].
** That doesn't compare to [[spoiler: Shouko's HeroicSacrifice.]] Especially since it immediately segues into the end credits, which close on an image of other Fafner pilots crying, and the singer going (in translation): "Please God, give me just a little more time".
*** This is made all the worse in the Light Novel, where the reader isn't even SHOWN [[spoiler: the sacrifice,]] and is only treated to the visit to [[spoiler: the grave.]] This troper, having read the Light novel before watching any of the series, was horrified to realize that [[spoiler: His favorite character had [[KilledOffForReal died.]] ]] This troper is also a Shipper of Shouko and Kazuki. Cue ManlyTears.

*** [[spoiler:"Good Boy. You went straight to your master's side, didn't you?"]]
