History TearJerker / HeroAcademiaDXD

** Itsuka never knew her mother and was left in foster care after her father died in a fire, leaving her with no answers regarding her Devil heritage. Even worse, it's implied that at least some of this might be FakeMemories. A few chapters later, it's revealed that she ''did'' know her mother, who was a member of the Asmodeus clan, and was attacked and seemingly killed in that fire. The seals on her memories and powers were her mother's work, in an attempt to keep her safe that nearly backfired.

* One of the magicians attacking the conference manages to get under Rias' skin by preying on her insecurities over whether her calling her peerage her family is just a way to ignore their guilt in stealing her peerage's humanity. While she does manage to rally and take the magician out, it's obvious that it's left its mark on her.

* Milia's parents were killed by Sieg, apparently right in front of her, [[VanHelsingHateCrimes despite having been living a peaceful life with their daughter]]. If Kudelia hadn't taken her in as a favor, she fully believes that she'd be homeless, since even then she often had to be reminded to do things like eating or going to school, and it took Izuku going out of his way to help her to get her to start moving past being a complete BrokenBird. When recounting her backstory to the exorcist group, she's so clearly emotionally distraught just by remembering it that even Xenovia, who is still heavily anti-devil at this time, is affected by it.

* Irina [[AdaptationalAngstUpgrade was also around Kokabiel when he revealed that]] GodIsDead. While [[InSpiteOfANail she didn't join Xenovia in becoming a devil]], she is more sympathetic on her reason for becoming one since it took a meeting with [[WarriorTherapist Izu]][[IdealHero ku]] to recover from her HeroicBSOD, and she knows that should things go wrong, they might end up in different sides of the battlefield.
* Endeavor believes that the reason that Shoko prefers to hide her gender is that she [[FemaleMisogynist developed a fear and dislike of other women]] after what happened with her mother, remembering how long it took her older sister Fuyumi to get her to become comfortable being in the same room with her, and even now they're not as close as they once were.

** During the Khaos Brigade attack on the Peace Conference, one of the Asmodeus brings out Itsuka's mother, controlled via a slave collar, and orders her to kill Itsuka. Itsuka accidentally frees her mother from the control, but only for long enough to allow the latter to commit an HeroicSacrifice, barely giving Itsuka a few seconds to mourn her mother before she has to get back into the fight.

* Itsuka finds out that her mother Lasha is alive... when her uncle, who's put his sister under mind-control, tries to make her help ''kill her own daughter''. Lasha is able to resist and save Itsuka, but ends up fatally wounded ''herself'' in the process, with the only comfort being that she got to see her daughter one last time and die with a smile on her face.

* When Rias tells Izuku that yes, she ''does'' believe that he has what it takes to be a hero despite being a devil, he's so overwhelmed by her support that he just leans into her, crying TearsOfJoy.

* Not only does Ravel learn that her brother really was the Nomu, Twilight Healing fails to heal All Might.

* Itsuka learns that she's half-devil... from ''[[AxCrazy Lailah]]'', who chases her through the city trying to kill her, then nearly gets carried off by the Winged Nomu before Stain kills it. All within the span of maybe an hour.

** Despite Ibara and Rosalba healing Ingenium, due to Stain's attack [[CareerEndingInjury his heroic career is over]]. Moreover, because [[SayingTooMuch Kiba revealed that he killed someone]] to prove how VengeanceFeelsEmpty, Iida has more self-conflict than in canon.
* When Izuku and Milia are on their way to Ryukyu's agency, they find a girl named Fuyuko about to commit suicide by jumping off of a bridge, and only narrowly manage to save her in time.
** In the next chapter, we learn that she's from [[VideoGame/Persona5 Shujin Academy]], which is just as bad as it is in canon, and the volleyball teacher trying to force her to have sex with him, after several other abuses that were dismissed by the principal, made her decide to commit suicide both to escape it and in the hopes that ''someone'' would realize that something was wrong and investigate the SuckySchool.
