And after Natsu interrupts her fight with Nessa, she breaks down in tears when Nessa tells her they're NotSoDifferent when it comes to protecting their children.

* In 262, one occurs that mixes with Heartwarming and Awesome. Nippy goes down and seems to have almost died and Miala just [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge explodes]]. The brief lines of watching Miala's opinions of Nippy go by in a flash from taking his egg home, to [[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave being irritated with him]], to calling him her son, it certainly pulls at your heartstrings.

But the most heartbreaking part comes at the end, when Roxanne claims she will kill Natsu and take his power, and despite Lucy's best efforts to stand up to her and defy her statement, she's incapable of refuting it. She's ''that'' strong, and when it downs to Lucy, she can only break down crying in despair.]]

* Chapter 236 comes right off one of the douchiest cliffhangers provided by chapter 235 [[spoiler:it looking like Erza has been killed]]. Most would say Pfft, LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt, but this is [[TrollingCreator Draconichero]] we're dealing with who goes out of his way to GutPunch the reader and saying "Yes, yes I would". For a moment, you could almost be convinced that [[spoiler:he actually did kill Erza off in a really tragic way]], but then again [[spoiler:Erza/Lelouch is the fucking flagship of Fairy Without Wings. So, Erza getting revived isn't all that surprising in hindsight, but oh god the FEELS]].

* Kagura finding out that Zangetsu and Jellal are the same person. You can feel Kagura's pain escaping from the webpage and jumping out at you.
** No. This one deserves a full explanation. Ahem. Jellal takes the disguise Zangetsu and meets Kagura in this disguise during the Grand Magic Games during the year X788, which is while Fairy Tail is still missing after their run in with Acnologia on Tenrou Island. Kagura has no idea that Zangetsu and Jellal are the same person, even saying to his face that she wants to kill him and not realizing she's talking to the person she wants to kill. She grows fond of him and outright falls for him over the course of a few days because he meets all her criteria towards a perfect boyfriend. And then it turns out that the very person she fell in love with is the very person she wants to kill and he is ''perfectly okay with that''. Jellal was willing to die for Kagura both because he grew to care about her and because [[TheAtoner he wants to make up for what he did to her brother Simon]]. Ultear even gets in on the scene, trying to deflect blame to her [[BrainwashedAndCrazy given her role in the situation]], but ultimately Kagura becomes resolved to kill Jellal, except she's unable to go through with it and breaks down crying because the person she met isn't the person she wanted to kill. Face it, if this was animated and put to proper music, we'd all be crying like little bitches. It's especially heartwrenching considering the build up to this scene.
