History TearJerker / ShamanKing

* Near the end of episode 6 of the anime. When it's revealed that Jun's guardian is Lee Pai Long. The famous Kung Fu movie star, then we learn the poor man was murdered specifically by the Tao family just to become Jun's puppet.

* Episode 17 starts rather dim, after Faust's match, Manta/Morty wakes up in the Hospital to Silva who fills him in on the end of the match. He rushes to Yoh's room to be met with Amidamaru, Anna, and Yoh sitting and coldly staring at him. As Yoh explains he lost and Manta aplogizes for being partially responsible Yoh quickly snaps at him telling him he's right to blame himself. He then scares him off telling Manta they are no longer friends, he runs crying but after he leaves Yoh's called out by Anna and it's shown he's actually blaming himself completely for almost getting him killed ''and'' almost screwing his own goals at the same time.

* Poor [[TheWoobie Fudou]] from episode 51. His past consisted of him being possessed many times by spirits (no doubt he misinterpreted their actions, since most spirits are not very hostile), which led to his hatred of them. Then after Fudou and his allies manage to find their way into Doby Village seeking to destroy Amidamaru since he escaped sealing before. Despite everything Yoh and his friends reach out to the boy and he eventually has a change of heart... only to run smack into Zeke/Hao a short while later. In the end Fudou and his allies are killed. Poor Fudou's spirit isn't even aloud to move on; Zeke/Hao just captures him and had his Spirit of Fire devour and absorb him. [[DownerEnding That just isn't fair man.]]

* The flashback in the anime episode "The Double Medium". It shows how Mikihisa got his scars, not so much because of that but because of his wife Keiko. She'd just given birth to two baby boys and has been told that they both must die in order to protect the planet. [[AdultFear That can't be easy for any mother to hear, poor thing.]]

* During Yoh's group invasion of the plants, [[spoiler:Faust is killed...only this time there's no one left to revive him...poor Ryu gets ''incredibly'' upset that his teammate and friend is dead, and even cheery Yoh seems to be affected. Of course it's abit bittersweet, since he can finally be together with Eliza completely now that both are dead.]]
* The last few chapters in the manga, [[spoiler: when ''virtually every character ever'', living or dead returns on a train, Chocolove and Lyserg get to reunite with their dead parents, and everyone else with their loved ones. Hao even gets to meet Ohachiyo and ''his mother'' again!]]

* Tokageroh's backstory. He was born into poverty, and his situation was so severe that his mother ''killed herself so he could survive by eating her flesh.'' And after everything he went through, he was unceremoniously killed off by Amidamaru, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday who doesn't even recall having killed him because Tokageroh was just one bandit among many to be felled by his sword.]] No wonder the guy had issues.

** Not to mention Yohmei's reluctance to kill one of the baby boys, which even brings him to ''tears''. [[spoiler: Made worse because a single moment of hesitation is enough for the Spirit of Fire to take a hold of Hao.]]

* In the anime, the death's of the remaining X-Laws. Mina's was probably the most heart-wrenching of all.
--> '''Mina''': (''icicle spears rain down but Mina calmly turns to face Lyserg'') You are so kind Lyserg. We have always viewed compassion as a weakness, but perhaps through your kindness you will find a way to achieve what we X-Laws could not. Stop looking for people to follow Lyserg and learn to trust your own heart. (''she's then skewered by the icicle spears'')
