* ''Ikki Tousen'' is mostly a PantyShot series with lots of humor and action, but then [[spoiler: Goei aka Hakufu's mom, after she met the happy and tomboyish Ukitsu... the girl [[BecauseDestinySaysSo destined to kill her daughter]]. She acted composed in presence of Ukitsu, but as soon as she was gone, the mother fell to her knees, in the verge of an HeroicBSOD. "How did Hakufu look when she left this morning? Was she happy? Was she angry? I gotta remember that... because it could be ''my last memory of her EVER''..."]]
* And we can't forget [[spoiler: Chinkyuu's death]] in the anime. [[spoiler: Ryoufu's]] reaction is heartwretching, specially when [[spoiler: she kisses the dead Chinkyuu and leaves the hospital room, saying "You won't be alone for long... because soon, I will go with you!"]]
** In the manga the above scene plays out differently, but no less heartbreakingly. After [[spoiler: Chinkyuu is [[RapeAsDrama raped by Totaku's goons]] ]], and [[spoiler:Ryofu realises that her disease is gonna kill her soon]], she decides to go down fighting against her destiny. After a desperate battle against [[spoiler: Myousai, she collapses and Myousai goes in for the kill, only for Chinkyuu to stop her at the last minute]]. Then, [[spoiler:Chinkyuu is soundly thrashed by Myousai, and Sousou offers her the chance to [[WeCanRuleTogether join him and escape with her life]]. She loudly rejects his offer, and then crawls over to the fallen Ryofu, and while they talk, Ryofu finally dies. Chinkyuu then quietly takes off her and Ryofu's magatamas and breaks them, and then [[LastKiss kisses Ryofu]], [[DrivenToSuicide killing herself at the same time]].]] Her last words during that scene are quite heartbreaking.
--> [[spoiler: '''Chinkyuu:''' We tried. There's that much. The magatama won. Again. But we tried. That counts. Maybe there's a better place out there. No magatamas... no fighting... I'd like that. Did I mention I'm going with you? Did you think you'd be rid of me so easily? Do you see Kaku? More importantly, do you understand? There are greater things than conquest, watch and learn. ''Together. We go together. Same's always. Ryofu... and Chinkyuu... Together''.]]
* In ''Dragon Destiny'', right after [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue everyone is shown living happily]], the ''very'' [[TheStinger final scene]] featuring [[spoiler: Kakouton and Kaku, where she's appalled almost to tears (and that's a FEAT, coming from Miss ManipulativeBitch) to see him NotQuiteDead but [[LaserGuidedAmnesia only able to remember Sousou and Kakuka]] ]] was pretty depressing.
* Also from ''Dragon Destiny'', the scene where [[spoiler: Hakufu sees the spirit of her DisappearedDad while inside her own mind]]. He tells her that [[ItIsNotYourTime it's not her time yet]] so she has to come back to the real world, and coupled with the somber music that plays in the background, this scene can be a real tearjerker.
** The fact that [[spoiler: poor Ukitsu has to [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice her own life]] to bring Hakufu back, and [[GoOutWithASmile how she went out smiling]] as she said her mission in life was over ]] doesn't help, either.
* The backstory of [[spoiler: the real Saji Genpou]] in ''Great Guardians''
* Almost at the end of ''Dragon Destiny'', there's Kan'u holding Ryuubi in her arms [[spoiler: as she loses the struggle against her Inner Dragon [[SplitPersonalityTakeover and it takes over her]].]] When this happens, Kan'u ''screams'' in despair and gives a BigNo...
