History TearJerker / Persona5

* The sheer level of ostracism and seething ''contempt'' the protagonist endures, especially from adults, throughout the game. It doesn't matter what he achieves, what his grades are, or how nice a person he is, to them he will ''always'' just be "that punk who assaulted Japan's most beloved politician". Many players have noted how the protagonist's mistreatment at the hands of [=NPCs=] hits ''way'' too close to home for them.

-->Joker: Give them one reason to distrust you, and it's all over. That's how it is, especially with adults.

** The traitor [[spoiler:[[RedemptionEqualsDeath sacrificing himself to save the rest of the Phantom Thieves]] from his Cognitive Self and the horde of Shadows it brings by locking himself inside the engine room in a last attempt at redemption, entrusting the Thieves to carry out his last wish of bringing Shido down.]] As if that wasn't enough, [[spoiler:The Justice Confidant link hits rank 10 during this scene.]] Ouch.
** Quite a few lines that The Traitor said during the game was ''much'' HarsherInHindsight once you know the full story.

** [[spoiler:While it is possibly justified the fact that he is the traitor and more of a temporarily party member, though it was looking like he was genuinely ready to turn down to a path of redemption or at least face his crimes with some dignity, the fact that Goro barely gets mentioned much at all after his apparent death and character arc just seems sad.]]

** Haru is a LonelyRichKid stuck in an ArrangedMarriage designed to be a stepping stone for her father, Kunikazu Okumura, to enter the political world, and although ostensibly not as bad as the others' reasons for joining the Thieves, her interactions with her fiance [[spoiler:and Okumura's perception of him]] make her situation one of the most viscerally horrifying out of the Thieves. The first time we ever see him, he grabs Haru's arm and tries to coerce her into having sex with him and kicks Morgana into a wall after he tries to intervene, and later on [[spoiler:the version of him we see in Okumura's palace makes similarly disturbing comments about sexually assaulting her]]. Keep in mind that ''her father'' is the one who approved the match and emotionally blackmails her into going along with it, despite knowing ''exactly'' what sort of person his future son-in-law is. In other words, [[AdultFear Haru could have potentially been strong-armed into a marriage with a sexually-entitled rapist without the agency to do anything about it,]] [[MaritalRapeLicense if anyone believed it was rape in the first place,]] [[NightmareFuel or even cared]].

*** Just in case you thought the monsters behind [[spoiler:her mother's murder]] couldn't get any worse, the murals in her Palace show that [[spoiler:the bastards ''read the suicide note aloud in front of a grief-stricken Futaba and all of her relatives.'' They killed her mother, made a point of forging a note that blamed her for her mother's death, [[KickTheDog for literally no reason]], then carefully orchestrated things so that not only would she have to sit there and listen to it, but her relatives (who didn't seem like the most pleasant of people to begin with) were almost guaranteed to turn on her. No wonder her shadow urges her to get angry -- after that, it's a wonder that Futaba doesn't track down the "men in black" personally and exact vengeance]].

** Picture this: You're an average kid in your hometown walking back home early in the evening. Everything is fine, until you hear screaming. You run to see what's going on, and find a drunken man attempting to assault a woman and force her into a car; [[GoodSamaritan you step in between them, and push the man away from her]], maybe a little too forcefully, and he cuts his forehead. The next thing you know the police are on the scene and the woman you protected is telling them that you attacked the man for no reason. And just like that, [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished you're expelled from your school, taken to court, and sentenced to a year on probation]], all because you happened to cross [[spoiler:the most corrupt politician in the country]]. These are the protagonist's circumstances and the ones that kick-start ''the entire plot of the game''.
** While Ryuji may seem like a rowdy delinquent in the story proper, he has a very good reason for being that way. When he was a former track star, the volleyball coach, Kamoshida, intentionally tried to provoke him by [[spoiler:spreading rumors about [[AbusiveParents his]] [[DomesticAbuse home life]]. When Ryuji finally hit his RageBreakingPoint and punched him, Kamoshida ''broke his leg'' claiming self-defense, and subsequently disbanded the track club. Ryuji's former teammates blamed him entirely for the incident, leaving him friendless until the protagonist enrolls at Shujin. But even then, he's still left with irreparable damage to his leg that leaves him almost unable to run without his Persona's assistance]].
** Ann, despite having [[ButNotTooWhite mostly Japanese]] parents and being raised in Japan, is bullied and slut-shamed by her peers and becomes the subject of Kamoshida's unwanted sexual advances purely because of her foreign appearance. When she refuses him, he set his sights on her friend Shiho, and sexually assaults ''her'' in Ann's stead. The assault drives Shiho to attempt suicide while the entire school, including Ann, watches. Shiho ultimately survives, but it leaves a huge mark on Ann, and taking revenge for Shiho becomes her motivation for joining the Thieves in the first place.
** When his mother died, Yusuke was adopted by his mentor, Madarame, but instead of being HappilyAdopted, he ended up [[spoiler:starving in a ramshackle house, putting out artwork for his adoptive father to profit from, and the worst part is that his loyalty to Madarame ran so deeply he couldn't even fathom the idea that he was an abuse victim]]. Yusuke later learns that [[spoiler:his mother was a former pupil of Madarame's, who chose to let her die during a seizure rather than seek medical attention for her so he could claim "Sayuri" as his own]].
** Although Makoto probably has the fewest issues of the Thieves, she still qualifies -- she's constantly pressured by everyone in her life, not least by her older sister Sae, to be an exemplar of everything she does, resulting in her peers viewing her somewhat correctly as an ineffectual TeachersPet, and Sae treating her as a liability when Makoto becomes cognizant of her own lack of focus and questions the importance of academic success. When Principal Kobayakawa forces her to investigate both the Phantom Thieves and a criminal group that uses Shujin students as drug smugglers, [[spoiler:she recklessly endangers herself by confronting the group's boss directly in an attempt to prove her "usefulness", and is nearly blackmailed into [[SexSlave sexual slavery]]]]. Like Futaba, the ending you get if you fail to complete Kaneshiro's palace is ''terrifying'': the protagonist misremembers the context of his arrest, [[spoiler:believing instead that he was taken in for questioning after Makoto was found at an "establishment for illegal services" and managed to incriminate him despite being in a drug-induced stupor]]. Even though, as with the other endings associated with failing to complete a palace, it could never have happened, the fact it's such a plausible scenario is as much NightmareFuel as it is a TearJerker.
** Futaba's mother Wakaba was killed in a hit-and-run [[spoiler:after Goro Akechi murdered her Shadow in a bid to help Masayoshi Shido steal her research on cognitive psience]]. [[spoiler:Members of the Conspiracy framed the incident as a suicide by forging a note in which Wakaba purportedly claimed to be unable to deal with the stress of single motherhood]], compounding Futaba's social anxiety with a case of [[SurvivorGuilt post-traumatic stress disorder]] that gives her auditory hallucinations, paranoid delusions of her mother's face overlaying other peoples', and keeps her from ''leaving her own house''. Her self-blame is so extreme that [[spoiler:it manifests itself as the boss of her palace, a monstrous half-sphinx version of Wakaba who screams that Futaba never should have been born]].
*** The very fact that she has a Palace. Most people's issues are minor enough that they have no Palace of their own, just Mementos. Only extreme distorted desires can create a Palace, like an abusive teacher who sees an entire school as his castle, or a crime boss who views all of Shibuya as his personal bank. Think about it, Futaba hates herself so much that it created a Palace on the same level as those. That should say something.

*** Futaba's past circumstances snowball in Sojiro's Confidant link. [[spoiler:Believing her to be responsible for her mother's death, Wakaba's family completely rejected her, and the relatives acting as her legal guardians began abusing her. At the peak of the abuse, Futaba, who was living with an [[EvilUncle uncle]] at the time, was forced to sleep on the floor and forbidden from bathing, at which point Sojiro intervened and all but bought Futaba off of him to remove her from the situation]]. When the uncle begins visiting Leblanc to extort money from Sojiro, Futaba walks in on one occasion, and she outright ''[[OhCrap whimpers]]'' in fear.

** Haru is a LonelyRichKid stuck in an ArrangedMarriage designed to be a stepping stone for her father, Kunikazu Okumura, to enter the political world, and although ostensibly not as bad as the others' reasons for joining the Thieves, her interactions with her fiance [[spoiler:and Okumura's perception of him]] make the entire situation so much more terrifying.

* On the subject of Sojiro, though, his rank 9 Confidant is a ''much happier'' kind of Tearjerking. [[spoiler:Joker and Futaba were a little bit late in changing her uncle's heart, and social services shows up at Leblanc. It initially seems like a nightmare scenario (Joker being accused of violence ''again'', and Sojiro being accused of abusing Futaba)... however, the lead investigator is a very reasonable sort, and is absolutely willing to listen to Joker and Futaba refute the claims. This caps off with Futaba openly stating she's happy living with her ''dad''... calling Sojiro dad for the first time. As Sojiro tries to avoid dropping dead from joy, the interview closes on a huge positive note, with the investigator noting that he'll recommend to the court that further follow-ups for ''both'' kids aren't necessary. After the investigators leave, Sojiro is struggling to maintain his composure and notes that it's not just Futaba who's a great kid - there's someone else living under this roof who's important too.]] Needless to say, this is all very likely to wring the tears out of anyone who's had to deal with child services before, is ''the'' moment Joker, Sojiro and Futaba really become a family for real, and doubles as one of the game's absolute ''crowning'' [[Persona5/CrowningMomentsOfHeartwarming moments of heartwarming]].

--> Yusuke: "Is this...me...?"
--> Ann: "Fox..."
--> Yusuke: "So this is how Madarame views me...? How preposterous..."

Even though the player knows for a fact that it could never have occurred, the implication that the protagonist knows damn well what would have happened to her if his team screwed up is depressing]].

** There's also a moment between sad and joyful tears a bit earlier: [[spoiler:when Futaba talks about how Wakaba viewed Sojiro, the way Futaba talks about how often and passionately Wakaba mentioned him makes it pretty clear that Wakaba actually did have a thing for Sojiro (to the point that even Futaba could see it), and the only reason that Sojiro isn't Futaba's full-blown stepfather-through-marriage is that Wakaba was just never given time to pursue it. It's pretty clear that, for all intents and purposes, Futaba considers Sojiro her dad because her mother cared about him that much, and that's more than enough by itself for Futaba.]]

*** On top of that [[spoiler: there's the fact that Akechi's reaction to being offered redemption is to go absolutely ''apeshit furious'' and attempt to murder the Phantom Thieves because of a combination of jealousy, anger, and the [[DespairEventHorizon realization that]] ''[[AllForNothing every single one of his atrocities in the pursuit of justice were completely avoidable.]]'' Given the way he talks, it seems like he was starting to GoMadFromTheRevelation even ''before'' he made Loki drive him completely insane.]]

* A [[PlayerPunch gameplay-related example.]] If you try and negotiate with a Shadow whose Persona you once had but have since fused away or dismissed, [[WeUsedToBeFriends it'll call you out]] [[YouBastard for abandoning it.]] It'll definitely hurt the first time you see it, doubly so if it's a Persona you used for a long time.
