* TwoWords: "Goodbye, Yoshido." ([[spoiler:This is what Kiryu (aka the 3rd [=MechaGodzilla=]) says to one of the main characters right before sacrificing himself to save Japan from Godzilla at the end of Film/GodzillaTokyoSOS.]])

* This video of Godzilla Final Wars (in this case, Junior) set to [[Music/MyChemicalRomance Black Parade]] which has Godzilla Junior remembering when he saw his father for the last time and trying to uphold his legacy. It's a fairly good video but the way it starts out is enough to make even the manliest troper shed tears. [[http://youtu.be/BNAOT79ipbQ]]

--> ''He said "Son, when you grow up''
--> ''Will you be the savior of the broken
--> ''The beaten''
--> ''and the damned?"''
--> ''He said "Will you defeat them?''
--> ''Your demons''
--> ''and all the non-believers?''
--> ''The plans that they have made?''
--> ''Because one day, I'll leave you.''
--> ''A phantom to lead you in the summer.''
--> ''To join the black parade."''

** This is especially heart-breaking because we all know what happened to Godzilla's father.

** In the aforementioned music video, we then have Godzilla fighting Keizer Ghidorah while the song reaches its tempo and have him flashing back to his father's death. Cue ManlyTears.

--> ''We'll carry on!''
--> ''We'll carry on!''
--> ''And though you're dead and gone''
--> ''Believe me.''
--> ''Your memory will carry on!''

*** A good portion of the the original ''Gojira'' can bring you to tears. The children crying in the hospital, the leveled landscape of Tokyo, the mother and her children on the side of the street, the school children singing 'Oh Peace Oh Light Return', and finally ([[spoiler:Serizawa's heroic sacrifice and last words]]).
** One scene in particular stands out. A mother clutching three children tightly as fires have them trapped and are slowly creeping towards them. She reassures them by saying that they'll be seeing their father really soon. The film then cuts to the entire building engulfed in flames.

* The end of ''Film/GodzillaVsDestoroyah'': [[spoiler:Godzilla dies a slow and painful death due to a nuclear meltdown]]. That and [[spoiler:when Godzilla mourns the death of his own son and cries in agony]]. It's perhaps the saddest {{Godzilla}} movie ever made.

** [[spoiler: ''You took my children from me!'']]

--> ''Your memory will carry on!''

--> ''He said "Son, when you grow up
will you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
He said "Will you defeat them?
Your demons and all the non-believers?
The plans that they have made?
Because one day, I'll leave you.
A phantom to lead you in the summer.
To join the black parade."''

--> ''I!
Don't!
Care!
We'll carry on!
We'll carry on.
And though you're dead and gone, believe me.
Your memory will carry on!''

** And the music does NOT help one bit.

--> ''He said "Son, when you grow up, will you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?" He said "Will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non-believers? The plans that they have made? Because one day, I'll leave you. A phantom to lead you in the summer. To join the black parade."

* Asuza Gojo saying good-bye to Baby Godzilla in Film/GodzillaVSMechagodzillaII and Baby trying to go with her. This troper cries his eyes out every time Baby grabs onto his foster mother's coat and he starts crying.

* In issue 2 of Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, there is a [[spoiler: father who has lost his children to Godzilla in issue one]]. He spends the first half of the issue questioning why this monster would take away his [[spoiler: children]]. It ends with him [[spoiler: strapping explosives to his body and throwing himself at Godzilla, detonating them and only giving the King of the Monsters a nose itch]].

Vishnu...is trying to persuade the prince that...he should do his duty. And...to impress him...takes on his multi-armed form...and says, 'Now I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'"''

* In ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'', there's the death of [[spoiler: both Godzilla's mate and their unborn child]], and his mournful roars that follow.

* The death of Godzilla in the 1998 film, despite everything he'd/she'd/it had done and all the people who died becuase of him. You can't help but feel a little pity for the big guy when he finally goes.

** The death of every American and French soldier. Some of them may have been frightend but, every single one tried to do their job to the best of their abilities.

* The death of Godzilla in the 1998 film, dispite everything he'd done and all the people who died becuase of him. You can't help but feel a little pity for the big guy when he finally goes.

* Film/RebirthOfMothra trilogy: The death of Mothra Leo's mother is very tear-inducing. What gets me is Mothra Leo putting his head under her wing, crooning for her not to leave him and trying to prevent him from drowning. He fails and she sinks into the ocean with very sad music. Every a reviewer who picked on the film at Million Monkey's Theator said it was an emotionally draining scene for two models made out of rubber and styrofoam.

* A [[YouTube Youtuber]] named 85KingofTexas [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPtJG4sYNgs recently uploaded a fanmade re-creation of the Godzilla 2012 teaser at Comic Con]]. It's fairly depressing, and very well done.

* TwoWords: "Goodbye, Yoshido." ([[spoiler:This is what Kiryu (aka the 3rd [=MechaGodzilla=]) says to one of the main characters right before sacrificing himself to save Japan from Godzilla at the end of Film/GodzillaTokyoSOS.]])

* Try watching the original ''Gojira'' and not crying after learning that it's inspired by two horrific tragedies in Japan's history (the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as the Lucky Dragon 5 incident). Go ahead, try.

* One scene in ''GodzillaVsKingGhidorah'' (1992): A Japanese WWII veteran turned mega business mogul comes face to face with Godzilla, who had saved his troops from an American Attack during WWII before he was even Godzilla. As the sad music starts to swell, you can see the recognition in Godzilla's Eyes amid the flashbacks to said time in the past. It looked as if Godzilla was cherishing said memories. And then, after the businessman nods, as if saying "yes, it's me", Godzilla roars (mournfully?) and ([[spoiler:promptly blasts the man into oblivion with his breath weapon]]).
