2----
3* Alice is certainly a tragedy.
4* The entirety of ''On a Silver Night, the Heart Does Not Sway on the Water's Surface...''. Every bit of it, but especially the deaths of [[AntiVillain Bertha and Itzhak]].
5* Episode six. Poor Havok...
6* And, [[MindScrew assuming you can figure out what the hell is going on]], the last episode. Amber was doing the whole thing to try to make Hei happy, and he never wanted to kill anyone in the first place. Perhaps also the bit after Amber turns back time a couple of minutes to give Hei another chance, when we see the Syndicate ''completely ignoring'' the fact that there obviously isn't a threat in favor of trying to wipe out every contractor on the planet.
7* The end of episode four. "I'm back." "Welcome home, dads."
8* Kirihara in ''Shikkoku no Hana'' reaching a crime scene, saw Hei and Yin entering a portal. Her reaction? Running there [[FutileHandReach extending a hand]] in open "wait for me!" gesture and screaming "Stop! ''Li-Kun!'' Li... <portal vanishes>". So she just stops there with a hand still thrust forward and makes such an adorable sad face that when she gets distracted by ''seeing a corpse "flung all around"'' it couldn't be as bad.
9* The entire OVA, Hei and Yin's life begins to crumble around them with Hei going through serious physical trauma and being slowly worn down by the multiple Contractors who have been sent to kill him. While at the end Yin demands Hei kill her in order to stop her super powered evil side being released. Hei refuses, promptly loses Yin, and is driven to drinking in the most tragic story arc of the franchise.
10* The death of November 11. After finding out that death was inevitable courtesy of the [[TimeTravel future-seeing]] [[MagnificentBastard Amber]], November 11 confronted his boss and killed him and a bunch of bodyguards, completing his mission...with nothing but a bottle of brandy. The last phone call brings out the tears, but seeing the dead bodies of Decade and his henchmen also solidifies this TearJerker as a DyingMomentOfAwesome.
11* The tidbits of the last episode in ''Gemini of the Meteor'' when Misaki narrates.
12** Hei holding Suou closely, trying to comfort her, as her memories fade away.
13* The fourth to last episode: everything is building up for the finale, and Kirihara and Li/Hei are hanging out eating, playing baseball and laughing. Kirihara laughs at Li, and you realize that no matter what he did, Hei could never make his sister laugh like that.
