History TearJerker / SpiderRiders

* Poor Grasshop in "Someone to Believe in"/"Spies and Lies", having to choose between betraying the Spider Riders, or never seeing his wife and children again.

* Even though he'd been a complete douchebag for the entire series, [[spoiler:Mantid's story of the loss of his lover really gets to you.]]

--> '''[[spoiler:Mantid]]''': [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished I fought for you just as Hunter Steele fights for you now!]] [[DespairEventHorizon And it cost me everything!]] ''[[HeartbrokenBadass It cost me my one true love!]]''

--> '''Grasshop''': (''Grasshop looks at Sparkle, but turns away when he can't bare to look at her'') ''*I wish she wouldn't look at me like that! She is my enemy! So why should I care how she feels?*''

* Sparkle's reaction to Grasshop's betrayal in "Grasshop's Misfortunes". Sparkle keeps giving Grasshop a [[PuppyDogEyes hurt]] look. It's so sad that Grasshop can't even bring himself to look her in the eye. It's no wonder Grasshop wanted to make things up to her so badly that he did a HeelFaceTurn for real later on.

* Poor Grasshop in "Spies and Lies", having to choose between betraying the Spider Riders, or never seeing his wife and children again.

* Watching poor Beerain collapse and cry in despair at the end of "Fly No Longer". That scene alone is enough to make just about anyone feel sorry for her.

* In "Mantid's Trap", when asked why he didn't step up against Mantid sooner. Quake reveals that many of his fellow [[TrueCompanions Spider Riders]] died during their last encounter, and he didn't want to repeat the experience.

--> '''Sparkle''': (''confused'') Why are you doing this Uncle?

* Poor Grasshop in "Spies and Lies", having to chose between betraying the Spider Riders or never seeing his wife and children again. The poor guy.
* When Stags appeared to [[spoiler:commit suicide]] after Hunter had beaten him in single combat. Like Hunter, I wanted to try and grab him before he fell.

** That's nothing compared to the way Buguese treated her when she finally did manage to catch up to him. You could tell that his being forced to disavow her in order to stay in Mantid's good graces was eating him away inside.
* Watching everyones reactions in episode 45, to losing sight of Hunter and Shadow after their fall from the bridge in the Labyrinth. Corona keeps shouting into her Manacle while hoping for a response. Magma is furious and rages, Lumen just sits and sulks, while a devastated Grasshop tries to comfort the crying Sparkle.

* The apparent death of [[spoiler:Buguese]] near the end of the series. Even if you loathed him up to that point. You can't help but be impressed with his determination.

* Even though he'd been a complete douchebag for the entire series, [[spoiler:Mantid's story of the loss of his girlfriend really gets you.]]
