History TearJerker / SuperRobotWars

* ''Tearjerker/SuperRobotWarsX''

* Try pitting Kamille against Char in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX''. At the end of it all, Char, being so set at proving himself right, attempts to kill Kamille while the latter tries a GoThroughMe but begins to waver as he calls out to his Quattro Bajeena persona. If it weren't for Seabook stopping Char right then and there, Kamille would have died, with Amuro explaining that he would have relived the pain he felt from killing Lalah.

* ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Masou Kishin III - Pride of Justice]]'' [[FranchiseKiller tanked horribly in the market]], developer Winkysoft decided to pull off the GrandFinale of the ''Masou Kishin'' saga with ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Masou Kishin F - Coffin of the End]]''. Cut to a year later and Winkysoft declared bankruptcy, making the latter a literal "final nail" and the company's swan song. The sub-series might not be as beloved as other continuities in the franchise, especially when ''Coffin of the End'' was a slight improvement over ''Pride of Justice'' ([[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot except the story]] and [[DecoyProtagonist other elements]]), but the silver lining is that, according to Creator/HikaruMidorikawa (who voices the series' protagonist), Winkysoft finally wrapped up the decades-long plot at the end; even if they or the higher-ups decided to pull the plug, they're pulling out without regrets. Furthermore, even if the ''Masou Kishin'' arc ended, it doesn't bar Masaki from re-entering ''Original Generation'', as seen in ''The Moon Dwellers''.
* The sudden passing of Creator/YukoMizutani (voice actor for [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Excellen Browning]]) was so abrupt and unexpected (she had just finished recording her lines for ''The Moon Dwellers'' - her last vocal performance) that current series producer Takenobu Terada would take time to offer his condolences on B.B. Studio's [[http://blog.spalog.jp/?m=201605 official blog]]; furthermore, Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa (voice actor of [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Kyosuke Nanbu]]) also voiced his feelings and thoughts on his [[http://ameblo.jp/toshiyukimorikawa/entry-12162040027.html blog]] to share his experiences working with her, and his opening line or tweets about it? [[HeroicBSOD He just couldn't believe what transpired]]. Though they may have provided the voices for the {{Love Interest}}s, you can tell by his words he and Yuko had a great time playing their respective characters. Furthermore, with this news, anytime you hear Excellen's flirty and teasing voice… [[FunnyAneurysmMoment you get reminded that these would be the last time you hear from her]].
* Kazunari Tanaka, the voice of [[TheRival Ghuli]], passed away before the game's release.
** A few months later, in November 2017, Creator/HiromiTsuru (Nevanlinna) died.

Despite franchise loaded with HotBlooded HumongousMecha pilots fighting for justice and trampling on evil with extreme prejudice in the greatest ways possible, there are moments here and there that will make you cry your heart out, normal or ManlyTears.

** Continuing Albero's StartOfDarkness from ''OG Gaiden'' above, it played out like an utter gut punch as well. It played similarly to the events at ''MX'', sure, but what caused Albero to ''really'' start his FaceHeelTurn? [[spoiler:Being promised that if he does as the bad guys and Eldy Mitte said, they are going to revive Foglia, and even showed his dead body as a proof. But when Eldy betrayed everyone, Albero included, she reveals that the thing about Foglia was a total lie, they just prepared a random person's corpse, but modified with cutting edge technology to make it look like Foglia extremely convincingly. And so, Albero ended up going to the dark side due to his grief for ''[[AllForNothing absolutely nothing]]''.]]

** The origins of the [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsMX Cry Wolves]] from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsMX'' was easy to pass up, but ''Original Generation Gaiden'' sets a more tragic spin. [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsMX Foglia Est]] has a more developed personality and a good relationship with his friend [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsMX Hugo Medio]] and father [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsMX Albero Est]], except being sidelined and passed up most of the time by Albero. There almost seemed to be a good reason for his, until Foglia sacrificed himself to protect his father from a [[spoiler:[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Jetzt Regisseur]]]]. The shock was too much for Albero, and coupled with the bad news that Hugo must receive cybernetics to even survive his wounds from the attack, it's not hard to see why Albero begins his StartOfDarkness from this event, making his full FaceHeelTurn in the next game.
