History TearJerker / PowerRangersRPM

** Of course real-life tears flow as well as these were supposed to be the final scenes of the franchise.
* A real-life example. Milo Cawthorne and Creator/OliviaTennet tied the knot while living in Los Angeles in June 2013--a moment for happy tears. Unfortunately, they had split up since as of June 2016 according to this [[http://digitalfox.media/blood-punch-review/ interview with Milo Cawthorne]]. Cue sad tears. Worse is that so far, ''no'' reason has been known why they split (although most fans accept the two split due to the pressures of marriage at their young age).

* From "Ranger Red": Scott watches helplessly as his brother is shot down in front of him. Marcus's last words: "SCOTT!"

** Marcus' death is even more heartbreaking when you consider that [[Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy unlike the last time a Red Ranger's brother seemingly died]] this time the death stuck. Marcus was never revealed to have been secretly alive all along and he didn't return to be a Ranger later]]. Scott Truman is the first Ranger to lose a sibling and actually have it ''stick''.

** Even worse in perspective, Dr. K desperately wanted to escape Alphabet soup and become part of a bigger world, but that world immediately gets ruined by the same virus she wanted to use to escape, and she had no idea before it was too late.
** During her escape, she is stopped by the two agents, who are quickly taken out by Gem and Gemma. Instead of joining her, the two run back inside for two other morphers. As they turn the corner, there is a huge explosion, and Dr. K leta out a gut wrenching scream as she watches her only two friends in the world [[spoiler:seemingly]] die righg in front of her.

* From "Ranger Blue": Flynn's father finally acknowledges him as the hero he was meant to be. Also a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* The last few scenes of the series has two. One where they were returning their morphers and Ziggy quietly, and not just a little bit sadly, says "Get in gear". And the second where Dillon returns to a flower we saw in the first scene.

-->'''Government Agent''': Happy Birthday! Make a wish!
-->'''Doctor K''': I wish I could remember my name...

** [[HistoryOfPowerRangers Linkara]] points out that Ziggy successfully escaped the city and the cartels only to try and get back in because there was ''literally'' no where else to go!

** The idea that everything the previous Ranger teams fought so hard for being on the brink of destruction was a pretty upsetting thought already. And then you remember seeing [[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Mack's]] broken helmet in "Ancient History", and it hits you like a ton of bricks: [[FridgeHorror they're all gone]]. Every previous Ranger team on Earth, everyone who ever took up a morpher, all dead by Venjix's hands. This is lessened by the fact that RPM is set in an AlternateUniverse, but this troper still finds it depressing nonetheless.

* from "Ranger Green": Ziggy when he discovers the truck he was driving was carrying medical supplies. At one point he has a look on his face like he knows he's already a dead man.

** Linkara points out that Ziggy successfully escaped the city and the cartels only to try and get back in because there was ''literally'' no where else to go!

* Regardless of whether it's an AlternateUniverse or not, the presence of an Overdrive ranger helmet does indicate that there were power rangers who fought Venjix in this universe, and who gave their lives trying to stem the tide. All those years of fighting aliens, demons and monsters, and in the end the robot tide killed any ranger who tried to save the day. That's just depressing.

--->'''Government Agent''': Happy Birthday! Make a wish!
--->'''Doctor K''': I wish I could remember my name...

--->'''Dr. K''': We all do things in life we regret. But if we don't learn from them, and move towards a brighter future, we pay twice.
--->'''Colonel Truman''': I've already paid more than most.
--->'''Dr. K''': I know. And if I could access the space-time continuum long enough to undo what I did, I would. That's not possible.

* From "Ghosts": Dr. K's reaction to seeing Gem and Gemma for the first time since Venjix attacked Alphabet Soup. (And she smiles, even with tears running down her face.)

* From "Ranger Blue": Flynn's father finally acknowledges him as the hero he was meant to be.
