* The most outstanding one of all, though, is the final action of the Reinforce Jr. The ship's just been hit, disabling its left engine. Robert Gomez and the others know that they're not going to get out of their situation alive, but they also know the young members of the crew have to live on- he orders everyone except himself and the remaining old folk to evacuate the ship, and the evacuees can only look on in horror as the Reinforce Jr. advances towards the Zanscare fleet- while two of the old folk commandeer a heavily damaged mobile suit and use it as a turret to defend the ship, no less. The waterworks come, however, when, despite the ship being heavily damaged and everyone else dead, Gomez, with a grin on his face, rams the Motorad squadron as his last act. And if that isn't tear-jerking enough, ''listen to the song that's playing''.

* Katejina at the end of the very last episode. Due to her brain damage, she doesn't remember any of the horrible stuff she's done; she's not raging at the main characters or herself for her current state. Thinking of her adorable conversation with toddler Karlmann, she might as well not even be the same person. She's just a lonely, sad girl on her way to a town she doesn't remember isn't there any more.
* All of the Shrike Team girls' deaths were very sad, but the kicker is Mahelia's demise, and later funeral. She was such an adorable Cool Big Sis and seemed to understand Uso well, and then... things go like they did. And since he was their leader, Oliver's Heroic Sacrifice is very sad too.

* Uso trying to save that pilot he fatally injured in episode 39 while taking that man's family picture from the Mobile Suit, just to have him die in his arms. And then the funeral scene with shakti singing that sad song...
** If it's not enough, in the next episode he takes that pilot's wife and two daughters to his graveyard.

* Cronicle's death in Episode 51, just damn heartbreaking.

* Cronicle's death in Episode 51, just damn heartbreaking. This is especially exacerbated by the fact that as he is thrown from his cockpit, he sees a vision of his dead sister Queen Maria, and asks for her to save him.

* Uso in general. He does not take being a Gundam pilot well at all and spends a great deal of time suffering both from survivor's guilt and from guilt from having had to kill. He's a generally sweet natured and just wants to protect his friends and his role in the war is frequently far too much for him. The poor kid just breaks your heart.

* About halfway through the series, Uso and Marbet have been captured and are in a cell together. Having lost people near and dear to him, and dealing with the stresses of killing enemy pilots in space, Uso just breaks down and bawls. He stops being a Gundam hero and spends a few seconds being a scared little boy - just before the guards come to take him away again.
