1* The finale
2* The resolution of "From Another Planet with Love"
3* The cliffhangers of "Seven Assassination Plan" Part I (Seven's crucifixion) and "The World's Greatest Invasion" Part I (Dan severely hurt (just how he got hurt and why is a Tear Jerker onto itself) and angrily blamed for Amagi's kidnapping after putting his life on the line to save his teammates).
4* Dan's struggle to keep his promise to be there for young Osamu's surgery in "The Courageous Battle"
5* [[spoiler:Windam's death]] in "Seven Assassination Plan" Part I
6* Anne's uncle's offscreen death that ties into the main plot of "The Targeted Town" (people going postal).
7** On a related note, Anne's uncle was an airline pilot, talked about as the [[InformedAbility best civilian pilot in Japan]] whose plane went down after he smoked a tainted cigarette and went postal, killing 130 people.
8** "The Targeted Town" also mentions oil tanker and train disasters caused by smokers.
9* Dan's FakingTheDead to find a cure for Anne and his friend in "The Human Ranch". Awesome as well as sad.
10* Dan's [[PhantomZone disappearance]] in "Fly to the Mountain of Evil". A funeral dirge played in the background both here and in "The Human Ranch" above.
11* The destruction of the Pegassa armada in "Dark Zone".
12* "Messenger from Nonmalt", the discovery of just who this Shinichi boy who constantly hounded Dan really was...
13** Also, did the Nonmalt [[spoiler: really arrive on Earth before humans]]? Dan never got to find out, [[HumansAreBastards since the Ultra Garrison blew them out of the water and gloated about it]]!
14* In "Return North!", Furuhashi nearly died in an on-air collision with an airliner just as his mother flew in from Hokkaido for a visit... (They just had a brief animated conversation over the radio when she stopped by.)
15* In "Showdown at -140 Degrees", the Pole aliens cause a massive snowstorm in Japan. Dan is outside patrolling in the [[CoolCar Pointer]], when the vehicle stalls. He walks out in the snow, can't see ten feet ahead of him, [[WeaksauceWeakness the cold's getting to him even as he's an alien]], he drops the Ultra Eye in the snow, passes out, the aliens (surrounded by flames) taunt him, a kaiju attacks outside, another attacks the base (whose weapons and equipment are frozen), and [[NonHumanSidekick Mikuras]] can't defeat the kaiju. Once he finds the Ultra Eye and transforms, he realizes he's just too weak to fight, so he flies into the sun to recharge. He saves the day anyhow, yet the aliens inform him that they figured out his Achilles' heel, mock and diminish his victory and that they'll meet again. [[WildMassGuessing Maybe they worked for the Guts aliens.]]
16* In "The Stolen Ultra Eye", Alien Maya's VillainousBSOD, HeelFaceTurn and death after discovering her plan to blow up the Earth [[SenselessSacrifice was pointless]].
17* In "Seven Assassination Plan" Part I, Dan was having a terrible time when he first confronted the Guts aliens in the middle of nowhere. Anne [[LeeroyJenkins was more than willing to blow them out of the sky]], even though she was freaked out of her mind herself. Dan sensed a trap, so he summoned his friend Windam, who the alien enemy quickly disposed of...
18** After Seven is crucified, he still sent a message to the UG, bounced off Space Station V3. Then his beam lamp turned off...
19** When the Ultra Garrison tried to rescue a crucified Seven by recharging him in mid-air, the Guts shot down the Ultra Hawk I. [[MassOhCrap Just as they think they'll plow right into out hero, Seven disappeared, revealing a hologram]]. These aliens taunted the UG, made them face death for a brief instant, and made them waste time and the use of valuable Phlebotinum! You bastards!
20* Poor Mitsuko Ishiguro (wife of an astronaut who turned into a plant alien right in front of her) and Shizu-san (her housekeeper) from "The Green Terror" and Grace Miyabe (terrorized wife of a scientist) from "Project Blue". Hope the TPC got each of them a good therapist!
21* Dorothy Anderson from "The Ultra Garrison Goes West!": an innocent young genius wrongly pursued for murder, kidnapped, her memory (temporarily) wiped. What else did the Pedans do to her??? No word on how she felt afterward...
22* In RealLife, Shinsuke Achina (Soga) killed himself in 2007, after numerous health, personal, and (possibly) financial problems.
23* The averted FatalMethodActing incident with Yuriko Hishimi. A giant prop hand collapsed and nearly suffocated her during a stunt gone wrong. At her request, that episode, called "Revenge of 3000 Years", never aired. Also, Ultraseven's giant hand in the show was subsequently done with blue screen.
