Go To

1* The concluding scene to the nova clash at East Genetics. Bonus points since it's carried out by two random RedShirt limiters.
2* Chapter 35: [[spoiler:Ganessa]] [[TakingTheBullet stands in front of an energy beam aimed at Satellizer]], suffering nightmarish wounds as a result (about one third of her torso is ''gone'', along with both arms). [[spoiler:Arthur]] grabs her and tries to carry her to the recovery center, all the while [[PleaseWakeUp begging her not to be dead]]. Thinking back to previous chapters, he's always been so proud to be her Limiter, and hasn't exactly made a secret of the fact [[SubordinateExcuse that he loves her]], so watching him sliding toward the DespairEventHorizon is ''soul crushing''.
3-->"I just have to take her to the recovery center... She's just...lost consciousness for a little bit..."
4** The anime version is even more tearjerking with its inclusion of somber music playing in the background, and the English VA ''nailing'' [[StepfordSmiler the poorly-disguised despair]] of the character.
5--->'''[[spoiler: Arthur]]''': I'm sorry, ma'am, I shouldn't have picked you up without asking! Oh no, I got a little dirt on your face - you always try so hard to stay clean and pretty, too. I'm really screwing this up. Let's try again, okay? [[AngstWhatAngst If you didn't like the piggy-back, maybe we can do something else]]. Oh, I know! [[BridalCarry I'll carry you like a princess]], I know you don't mind that. That's better, isn't it? Tell me it's okay. [[PleaseWakeUp One word is all I need]]. ''Anything''! Just please talk to me! "Why are you crying so much, you fool?" "Stop wasting time and carry me!" [[{{Tsundere}} Scold me like you always do]], I know I deserve it! Please!
6* Satellizer's background. With special mention to her confrontation with her mother after [[spoiler: being repeatedly sexually molested by Louis.]] It's absolutely horrifying that her mother's response is basically a self-centered emotional breakdown and "just put up with it for my sake."
7* The end of Chapter 65, when Elizabeth, by now revealed to be a [[LovableAlphaBitch genuinely nice person]], is released back to her friends [[spoiler:after being "punished" for going against the Chevalier (by "punished" read: ''three straight days'' of ElectricTorture)]]. Not only does she look completely [[BreakTheCutie broken]], but when her Limiter, Andre, gets close to her, she's been so badly traumatized that she ''recoils in fear''. She [[TheWoobie needs a hug badly]], and she's too scared to accept one.
8** Then in Chapter 66, [[spoiler:Andre [[DespairEventHorizon breaks down and cries]] over Elizabeth's condition and the fact that [[WhatTheHellHero nobody would step up to help her]] in her plight when she was only [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished trying to do the right thing]].]]
9*** Worse, it isn't just her. [[spoiler:Her entire family business was hit with retaliation, sending them up in flames entirely. They were just trying to do the right thing and were destroyed by it.]]
10* Every freaking bit of the E-Pandora/Alaskan facility arc. With special mention to Chapter 81 where [[spoiler:Amelia finds out that the entire E-Pandora project was a hoax to buy time for MadScientist Scarlet Oohara's Type Maria clone research. It gets worse when the focus skips to the outside, where you see GenkiGirl Rattle buried under about 20 of her friends' corpses.]]
11* [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice Chiffon's death.]]]] That is all.
12* [[spoiler: Roxanne's HeroicSacrifice as she self-destructs in a brief moment of clarity after being Nova-fied. Charles is DEVASTATED. Luckily she gets better.]]
13* [[spoiler: Satellizer goes into a MAJOR depression when Kazuya tells her to "stay away from (him)...at least for a little while". She's still not over it by the end of the following chapter.]]
14* Amelia meeting up again with Elizabeth and the other Pandoras after their first meeting in Alaska. They were overjoyed to see Amelia alive and well.
15** [[spoiler: Amelia is able to pass along final messages from Chiffon to the other girls. The most gutwrenching is her message to Ticy: "Sorry I couldn't stay by your side." Ticy breaks down in tears on the spot.]]
16* Chapter 155: Satellizer (still heartbroken over Kazuya's absence) confides in Rana that her revealing attire and even her glasses are simply part of projecting a more confident image (she read it in a book). Doubles as heartwarming that she's opening up to her "rival" in this way and Rana even apologizes for being mean to her. Really shows just how emotionally messed up she is...she badly needs a hug and Kazuya isn't around to do it.
17* Ryuuichi and Orie's relationship as a whole. [[spoiler:While they loved one another, Fate ultimately meant that she, as a normal human, wouldn't be the same as Ryuuichi and his children. As a result, Kazuha and Kazuya didn't see her as their mother and she had a breakdown, leading to Kazuha to kill her to protect her brother. The father, upon learning that Gengo already had plans to use him [[YouCantFightFate to save the world from an inevitable crisis]], completely breaks, rapes Cassandra, then shoots himself in the head out of grief and spite for his father. Their desire for a normal family ended up killing them both.]]
18** Gengo has a moment [[spoiler:while explaining Ryuuichi's destiny to him. Gengo just wanted Ryuuichi to be happy with a wife and a family before things got worse, and tried to help whenever he could; however, he knew that because Maria's bloodline was within Ryuuichi, Kazuya, and Kazuha, it would never work out. In the end, he loses his son and the rest of his family distances themselves from him.]]
