History TearJerker / MobileSuitGundamAge

** And lest we forget, the sequence of prominent people the Asuno family lost throughout the series, namely [[spoiler: [[ShrinkingViolet Yurin L'Ciel]] (Flit's love interest), [[TheCaptain Grodek Ainoa]] (Flit's mentor), [[AFatherToHisMen Woolf Enneacle]] (Asemu's mentor and true bro) and [[IllGirl Lu Anon]] (Kio's love interest). Looking back at those characters makes it so hard not to cry from remembering how each of them went out.]]

* Episode 38 manages to [[UpToEleven OUTDO episode 37]]. [[spoiler:Lu passes away, and Deen tells Kio that Lu [[GoOutWithASmile smiled until the very end]], then gave Kio her diary full of future memories. Hearing them read aloud in Lu's voice -- especially the last one, [[http://jul.2chan.net/dec/18/src/1341131046327.jpg of Kio taking Lu to Earth]] -- as Kio fights off tears and Vagan mobile suits simultaneously is ''heartbreaking''.]]

*** The background music ''really'' helps to pull at the heartstrings, as the two most painfully beautiful and TearJerker tracks are used during, [[spoiler: including the one from Woolf's death.]]

* Episode 49: [[spoiler: Flit's reunion with Yurin. We once again see Flit as the kid he was, not the broken man he became. Flit admits that he knew the Vagan were suffering too but he couldn't help hating them because they took Yurin away from him and he was't able to protect her. Yurin gently thanks him but lets him that it's alright now. And as Yurin starts fading away, she tells Flit that he should forgive everyone and then forgive himself.]]

* [[spoiler: Grodek's death]] in Episode 24, full stop. [[spoiler:He's about to deliver evidence on a Vagan spy when a grown-up Arabel Zoi stabs him in the back. The final speech Grodek makes to Arabel is even more saddening, considering how his obsession with avenging his family ruined Arabel's and Flit's lives. And to top it off, Arabel himself is killed shortly thereafter, denied the chance to live the remainder of his life free of revenge.]]

[[LoveItOrHateIt Regardless of how you feel about the series,]] you can't deny that ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamAge Gundam AGE]]'' knows how to catch you off-guard with some truly devastating moments.

**** [[spoiler:Memories of Eden gave him a different goal, no less sad than the others: He wanted to go through Ezelcant's clearly insane plan because he did not want everyone that died under his command to have their lives wasted in vain. And what's even sadder is that right after Asemu comes into the heavily damaged Legilis to get him out, he pushes Asemu back into the Dark Hound and detaches the Legilis.]]

*** [[spoiler:Zeheart's deepest desire only adds to it. What was it, you ask? [[IJustWantToBeNormal To fall in love, get married, and raise a family.]]]]

** Which leads to [[spoiler: Yurin's death itself. She [[TakingTheBullet takes Desil's blade]] for Flit not unlike [[ZetaGundam Four Murasame]]. Not long afterwards, we're treated to a forest farewell scene, which then cuts back to Yurin's cockpit, where she's ''reaching for the Gundam.'' As her helmet cracks and the mobile suit explodes, [[GoOutWithASmile she goes out with a smile]].]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4iWNNwGvB4 The music]] ''did not help''.

** ''GundamAge'' probably wouldn't have a TearJerker page that is separate from the main ''{{Gundam}}'' TearJerker page if it weren't for [[spoiler:Yurin's death.]] Yeah, it's '''THAT''' heartbreaking.
