History Tearjerker / DNAngel

* The story of the Agate Links in episode 8. Back in Daisuke's grandfather's time as the Phantom Thief, he developed a friendship with an IllGirl by the name of Menou. He wanted to give her the Agate Links as a gift, and left it at her window, but she passed away the following morning without getting the chance to see him again. However, her spirit lingered with that piece of jewelry for the next ''forty years'', waiting for him to return just so she could thank him.

* Manga volume 13 - Stage 3, vol 21: Daisuke's reaction to Satoshi telling him that his family are cursed to die young is to almost break down into tears and say they have to '''do something''' while ''clinging to Satoshi's arm''. Satoshi is absolutely shocked - has a flashback montage of many happy moments spent together with Daisuke - and then does the closest thing to a fond smile he can do. The HoYay shoots back UpToEleven for the whole chapter, but in a very, very serious and heartbreaking way for once.

* Both versions of the story of Ice and Snow / Ice and Dark

* The ending of episode 14, when Daisuke, alone in the darkness of his bedroom, [[spoiler:silently pulls a veil over his painting of Risa, signifying that he's finally realized she doesn't return his feelings.]] Also counts as MoodWhiplash in contrast with the rest of the episode, which dealt largely with the antics of the school's strange NewTransferStudent and super GenkiGirl Mio Hio.
