If not for the ambitions of the madman, Lucy might have actually been able to reunite with her father well before he died.

What makes it sadder is his matter-of-fact preparations for the possibility of his death, to their distress.
** In the period following Dante and Vergil's parents being killed, Lucy recalls she was sad she never got to see her two friends again, having had very few in her early life. What's worse is that her mother passed away shortly afterwards, and her father became cold and distant, leaving her with no one to turn to. It's a sad reminder that while her life wasn't much of a fight for survival as her cousins, it was by no means without hardship.
** After discovering a photo album his mother and aunt made showing how close they were growing up (including a picture of Eva's wedding and another of Layla and Jude holding Dante and Vergil as babies) Dante goes off to be alone and process. In his subsequent talk with Michelle he reveals he didn't know his father was a demon until after he lost his home, needing Nell to tell him. Adding salt to the wound, his first reunion Vergil came after Nell died, and his (seemingly) sole remaining family member ran him through with Yamato, kicking off the feud between the brothers that would last to this day.

She then brutally batters him into unconsciousness with a barrage of attacks before dealing with Lucy and Natsu, the former too shocked at the betrayal to fight back properly.

* Ch. 4 ''Be Careful What You Wish For''
** Throughout the chapter, Kerry is clearly in a poor place. He is constantly wracked with guilt over 'killing' his best friend (really the mask demon just did it under the guise of being a JackassGenie) and believes that he ''deserves'' to be in prison. Even after being rescued and having Fairy Tail prove his innocence he still thinks he should be punished for his 'crime'. Adding salt to the wound, his sister passed away while he was in prison, which he attributes to stress from the whole ordeal, furthering his guilt.
** While talking with Gajeel and Juvia, Totomaru reveals the fate of all the former Phantom Lord members. Most moved on, but Jose underwent SanitySlippage, blaming all of their problems on Fairy Tail, which worsened when he heard Gajeel and Juvia joined. At some point over the timeskip he, Sol and Aria vanished. It's sad to hear how far the once mighty guild members fell, especially since so many of their comrades were able to move past their defeat and still find happiness.
* Ch. 5 ''Poker King and Rock Queen''
** Elena and Tim's backstory. After years of practice and hard work to get noticed they actually managed to make it big! Then a demon began to possess Elena, driving her friends away and corrupting her music to make fans go insane before taking her body over completely and turning her into the monster encountered in the present. Elena herself has her mind devolved into little more than a rabid beast that goes to attack anyone listening to her old music, not even recognizing her old friend Tim.
** While it was all an act, Erza 'killing' Dante hits especially hard because of Patty's [[BigNo reaction.]] The poor girl has to watch the man who protected her be cut down by one of his closest allies and is close to being hysterical.
** While they killed King, Fairy Tail was sadly unable to prevent him from killing any of the other players, including Paul, the man they were specifically asked to save. Making things worse, King revealed he killed Sara (Paul's wife and the one who hired them) right after she left the guildhall.
*** Wendy in particular is distraught at their failure to save anyone. Modeus sadly tells her that no matter how skilled you are, there will always be times where you will fail to save people, and all they can do is move forward and try to do better.

The reason she ran into an the trap set was because she was just ''that desperate'' at the slightest chance to see her again, something the demons trying to kill her cruelly took advantage of.

** In his letter to Dante Jude mentions he and Layla were devastated after hearing of Sparda and Eva's demise, even more so since they weren't sure if Dante and Vergil had survived or not. He then admits the reason he never searched for them was out of fear of Mundus targeting his family as well (something present Dante agrees with) though he deeply regretted it later in life. Sad to hear that Dante and Vergil were unknowingly denied a second chance at a happy childhood, all because of Mundus' vendetta.
** Dante's reaction to hearing about Vergil throughout the chapter. He is unsure about how to react after hearing his brother joined a legal guild, and while willing to try to reach out to him at Lucy's suggestion, clearly doubts that Vergil will reciprocate the feeling or if he has truly changed. It's sad to see how little hope Dante has for forming a genuinely positive relationship with his brother, especially since the flashback showed how close they used to be as children.

** Dante's continued mistrust of Carla is hard to watch, especially since it's clear that she sincerely regrets leading them into a trap, even unintentionally. Even when the others make him agree to put a hold on things, he makes it clear that she is not EasilyForgiven.
** The Edolas forces turning on the Exceeds, turning the soldiers sent to aid them into a single giant Lacrima. [[AssholeVictim While they were far from the nicest bunch]], the Exceeds didn't deserve ''that'' level of cruelty, with even Happy and Carla (who experienced their unpleasant nature firsthand) expressing sympathy at their fate.
** Byro extracting magic power from Natsu and [[WouldHurtAChild Wendy]] is a clearly painful process, especially for the latter, who says that she is scared. The most Natsu can do is encourage her to keep holding on [[DefiantCaptive and snark at Byro]].
** Lucy and Lisanna find out that Happy and Carla's mission was to hunt the Dragon Slayers, greatly shocking them both. It hits especially hard when you remember that Lisanna helped Natsu hatch and raise Happy.
* Ch. 32 ''Fairy Tail Strikes Back'': Carla's reluctance to warn the Exceeds of the threat coming their way, saying they're not worth the consideration and even compares them to demons. The poor girl clearly has little faith in her species as a whole, and has to be convinced by Wendy and Trish to go.

** The Edolas Fairy Tail mention that Nelo Angelo killed their previous master, and the memory of it causes Mary to briefly break down.
** When [[TheLostLenore Lisanna]] joins the group, Natsu has to remind himself that it's not the one he remembers, and is initially uncomfortable around her. Poor guy.
* Ch. 27 ''To Take A Stand''
** Edolas Lucy explains her indifference to how her hair looks (in contrast to [[ProudBeauty her Earthland counterpart]]) is because she and her friends have had to struggle so much just to ''survive'' that she's never had time to worry about such things. Edolas Fairy Tail have really had it rough.
** Dante's shock at seeing his mothers Edolas counterpart.
* Ch. 28 ''An Unexpected Betrayal''
** The Edolas versions of Natsu and Eva have a hard time believing that the royal forces ''can'' be defeated. It's clear they gave up hope of ever being free of Faust's tyranny a long time ago.
** Continuing from the last chapter, Dante gets to see and talk with his mother again, but it is marred by the fact that this version does not know him and they have no idea how revealing their relation will go, opting to keep quiet. The others look on in sympathy as the cocky demon hunter [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness remains quiet for the rest of their trek]].
*** Mixed with heartwarming, but after [[WhamLine Lisanna says that in Edolas Eva is Lucy's aunt]], a rattled Dante asks to hold off pursuing that information till they've dealt with the current crisis. While part of it is pragmatism, its clear [[HopeIsScary he's not sure how to react to the revelation that he may have more family]].
** The group (as well as Gajeel and Trish) are ForcedToWatch as [[VillainWithGoodPublicity King Faust]] delivers a speech about using the Lacrima [[HumanResources made from their friends]] to provide plenty of magic for Edolas. Both Dante and Natsu can barely contain their rage, with the others having to talk them down from attacking the king then and there and Lisanna has to physically hold Natsu back.

** Happy is shocked to discover that the mission he was sent on was to ''[[AwfulTruth eliminate Natsu]]'', causing the normally optimistic cat to experience a brief HeroicBSOD.
** Carla learns that her 'visions' and the information they provided [[NiceJobBreakingItHero are what helped the group get captured]], and [[NotSoStoic breaks down]] at the idea that she was a ManchurianAgent and failed to protect Wendy. She tearfully admits that Dante was right not to trust her.

** Vergil attack some members Jet Droy Macao and Wakaba of Fairy Tail and kidnapped Levy with the other members are concerned and little Romeo is worried for about his father contition.
** When Vergil beat Alzack, Bisca and Cana he is about to kidnapping Cana and find defeating her too easy for someone considered worthy for an S-Class wizard but probably got it out of pity (we knowing why she want to be an S-Class luckily she didn't hear that comment).
** Freed question why he doing this he doesn't have any bond or honor for his brother only for Vergil calling them out for betraying there guild before and why they didnt get expelled alongside that failure Laxus for Evergreen to say shut up and doesn't even know him only for his responce that he is a fool that could think surpass his grandfather Makarov (Thunder Legion are still loyal and heartbroken by all of this).
* Chapter "Satan Soul vs Devil Trigger":
** When battling Mira Vergil uses [[BreakThemByTalking psychological tactics]], bringing her younger sister Lisanna (who is [[spoiler:thought]] dead) saying that she was weak and the weak must die and not blaming Elfman but her that she could to so much to save but just stood there and watced. He then question if she tells Natsu (telling there once friends or something even more than that) then telling that her magic is strong but deep inside she is weak and Lisanna live paid to prize for that an Enraged Mira tells him to shut up and says this.
---->'''Mira:''' ''[yelling]'' YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING YOU HEAR ME?! YOU DON'T.
** When Vergil defeated Mira you goes to an scolding Elfman and telling him he doesn't know her him and definitely a about about Lisanna (as for Elfman is considered that both Mira and himself lost a little sister) Vergil question why he take to blame not just her.
* Ch. 20 ''A Devil's Home with The Fairies'':
** In the aftermath prepares to leave Magnolia and Fairy Tail, feeling that he'd only attract more enemies to attack them. Despite his usual demeanor, its clear that [[ItsAllMyFault he harbors immense guilt for everything his brother has done]]. Thankfully everyone convinces him to stay, making a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments different kind of tearjerker]].
** Right before the above, Dante visits his mothers grave, sadly admitting he can't keep his promise to get along with Vergil. Its a somber reminder that despite everything he's done, Vergil is still his brother (whom he still loves) and Dante is clearly depressed by the idea that someday he'll have to imprison or even ''kill'' his last remaining family member.
* Ch. 21 ''The Last Promise'': While it was done to save Wendy, Modeus being forced to kill his brother causes him to instantly break down, sadly staying that Baul was his reason for living. Made even more depressing by the fact that Dante was willing to let him live in this version, something that the white demon [[DeathSeeker didn't appreciate]].
