* A bit of [[CryForTheDevil sympathy for Taeko]], but it's clear that before the events of the Curse, he genuinely ''loved'' Kayako and Toshio, but was unfortunately a big GreenEyedMonster that lead to the events of the Curse. It's worse when you taken into account there are certain moments within the films (as well as a tiny bit of [[Film/TheGrudge the American remakes]]) that show Taeko ''being a loving family man''. It makes what happens afterwards a lot more heartbreaking.

* The fact the Curse forever continues and drags the Sakei family into killing others. Putting aside [[AssholeVictim Taeko]], Kayako and Toshio did ''nothing'' wrong. Kayako was just a normal loving housewife and Toshio was a fairly normal child killed by someone they also loved even if he was a bit of a strict man. Kayako ''especially'' when she's ([[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation arguably]]) is forced upon to come after so many people and never get an inkling of peace in the afterlife. Even her actress, Takako Fuji, has stated to see Kayako as more than a poor victim in a situation she can never escape from.

While Yui just slumps down and cries softly, Mai at first refuses to believe that Sota's dead and [[PleaseWakeUp tries to wake him up]].

* The entire "Kyoko" segment is a TraumaCongaLine for the protagonist. First, Kyoko is involved in a car accident. Then it's revealed that she miscarries. Then she learns that her fiance is stuck in a coma. ''Then'' just a day after she comes home, her mom dies (which may or may not be because of the curse). All this in the ''[[DownerBeginning first 15 minutes of the film]]''. The segments that are set before the car accident show her as a chipper horror queen, the segments that follow the car accident show just how ''[[BrokenBird broken]]'' she is, (she only smiles twice, once when Chiharu looks at her ([[spoiler: actually Toshio who rubs his hand at her stomach]]), the second after she [[spoiler: gives birth Kayako, where she just seems to become a StepfordSmiler, which isn't much better.]]
* [[spoiler:Chiharu]]'s death scene is extremely heart-wrenching.

** [[spoiler:Chiharu]]'s death scene is also extremely heart-wrenching.
** A rare example of a TearJerker in the midst of a horrible moment: when Kayako crawls down the stairs towards Rika, she appears to be reaching out to the latter for help, and in one shot her eyes are actually filled with tears. This is the only scene in which Kayako is depicted with such a degree of sadness, and for some, it's difficult to not feel sorry for Kayako at that point.
