History TearJerker / TenchiInTokyo

** Worse, just before she was defeated and sealed away. She and her "friends" looked like they were on a rampage of destruction. But what did Yugi think she was doing? Just playing with her friends... Worse still, when she sees Empress Hinase's forces attack, all she does is beg her to stop hurting her ''friends''.

* Yugi's backstory in episode 21, specially as she's imprisoned inside a dark tomb after almost destroying Jurai, crying and screaming because she's scared of the dark. Made worse when Empress Hinase, the one sealing her away, is shown ''crying'' too and even [[ApologeticAttacker apologizing]] as she seals her away, [[CryForTheDevil since she hates the idea of doing this to Yugi but can't do anything else]].

--> '''Sakuya''': (''in a TroubledFetalPosition on the floor of her apartment'') "T-Tenchi-kun... help me... ''please''..."
** When [[spoiler: Yugi confronts Sakuya and tells her [[TomatoInTheMirror who she really is]].]] Not feeling at least ''minimally'' sorry for her ([[DieForOurShip regardless of your side in the]] ShipToShipCombat) when [[spoiler: she looks at Yugi in tears and whispers [[DespairEventHorizon "No, no... Tenchi-kun, help me... NOOOOO!"]] right before she's absorbed back into her]], or with the [[spoiler: ReallyDeadMontage in the end of the episode, full of happy Sakuya scenes]]... [[AlasPoorScrappy is, well, extremely hard.]]
** [[TheWoobie Sakuya]]'s entire storyline. [[spoiler: Rarely have the MarySue and RelationshipSue concepts been so thoroughly [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] - Sakuya's not real, and only exists to tear Tenchi away from his TrueCompanions, only to be [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness thrown away]] when she's done just that. She even has to perform a HeroicSacrifice to save the hero when he ''fails'' TheFinalTemptation. Yeesh.]]

** Ayeka's heartbreak when Tenchi angrily tells her and the other girls to leave him alone. She just bows her head respectfully to Tenchi and leads the others away. All while she'd trying to hold back tears.

* Ryoko's heartbreak when she sees Tenchi and Sakuya kiss. All the more tear-jerking when you see the devastated look on her face after she trusted Tenchi shortly following their date.

* Sakuya's reaction when she sees Tenchi after she got StoodUp by him, and she sheds tears despite trying not to:

-->'''Sakuya''': Masaki-kun, you're an horrible liar.
