* Another example in ''[=GaoGaiGar=] FINAL'' Episode 2, after [[spoiler: Guy Defeats Repli-[=GaoGaiGar=] with Hell and Heaven, the mood quickly changes when Guy opens GaoFighGar's hand to reveal...a injured and bleeding Mamoru. Evil clone or no, Guy's facial reaction sums up the whole thing, especially since he and the viewers aren't entirely ''certain'' of that yet.]]

* The conclusion of the whole fight with a BrainwashedAndCrazy Guy in [=Repli-GaoFighGar=]. Not only is it bad enough that Guy got turned against his will into a screaming berserker willing to unleash Goldion Hammer on his friends, the replicated robots break the MindControl and refuse to abide by the command to destroy GGG. They end up pulling a HeroicSacrifice to put down [=Repli-GaoFighGar=]. They might be mere clones, but damn if tears weren't shed at that moment.

* RealLife example; season 2 was never dubbed into English due to low sales of the first season. The delays caused by the focusing on ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'' didn't help matters. It's a crying shame since the first season's dub was handled extremely well. This kills the chance of FINAL ever getting a western release.

It's a crying shame since the first season's dub was handled extremely well. This well, and that's all ''before'' the show gets to some of the really meaty content the actors could've feasted on. So not only is it a bummer that we'll never know what the English cast could've done with the show's awesome second half, but it also kills the any chance of FINAL ever getting a western release.

* Episode 30. [[spoiler: The heroes have defeated EI-01, but apparently gave their lives in the process. The music and Mamoru's desperate pleas for them to wake up set the mood perfectly. Even knowing the series is barely halfway over and knowing they'll be proven to still be alive mere moments later doesn't keep the tears at bay. By all outward appearances, from a technical viewpoint they really ''were'' dead at the time, as they had fully expended the power of their G-Stones in the effort to defeat EI-01. (The energies of the Zonder Metal and the G-Stones, being polar opposites, neutralized each other.) Mamoru's powers (on which G-Stone technology was ''based''), thankfully, were not affected by this (giving a hint of just ''how'' powerful he would eventually become), allowing him to bring forth a miraculous, though far from immediate, recovery.]]
* The next episode is ''brutal'', just brutal. [[spoiler:New aliens arrive and seemingly kill everyone but Mamoru and Guy.]] Complete hand-over-mouth horror.
** Particularly when [[spoiler:: said aliens ''utterly demolish'' the titular mecha.]] Mamoru's dialog right there says it all:
--> [[spoiler: '''''GUY NII-SAAAAAAN!!!''''']]
* And, of course, the ending to both the series and ''FINAL''. Nothing about anything that awesome is ever sadder than those two little words..."THE END".
* Another example in GaoGaiGar FINAL Episode 2, after [[spoiler: Guy Defeats Repli-GaoGaiGar with Hell and Heaven, the mood quickly changes when Guy opens GaoFighGar's hand to reveal...a injured and bleeding Mamoru. evil clone or no, Guy's facial reaction sums up the whole thing.]]
* "Itsuka Hoshi no Umi de - Character Version" is certainly a TearJerker as well.
** The entire Mobile Unit sacrificing themselves to defeat the 11 Soul Masters or being curbstomped trying to do so. Watching Hyoryu and Enryu overload their Chest Blasters, Big Volfogg's arm turning against him, TenRyuJin being impaled... To this troper, the worst ones were Hyoryu and Enryu's sacrifice and Big Volfogg's self-defeat.
* A different take on this, is the thought of what will happen to GGG after the end of FINAL. They have been exiled from their home planet, they've destroyed the solar system they are in, they are stuck in a collapsing universe... Needless to say, their situation is hopeless, unless they can somehow survive for 8 years, at which time, the Galeoria Comet will return to Earth's orbit.
* The opening to FINAL Episode 8. After the last few episodes have given us progressively more and more Hotblooded iterations of the opening theme, Episode 8 brings us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aJQmAw0Awc Yuusha-Oh Tanjou (Piano Solo version)]]. Bonus points for also giving us a recap that practically SCREAMS BittersweetEnding.
