Tear Jerkers for Harry And The Shipgirls

  • The sinking of USMS Mosasaurus (SSM-12) in world War Two. The crew knew that they were going in on a suicide mission to stop magical reinforcements from arriving to fortify Iwo Jima. At the end, as the submarine began to flood, the crew gathered together and sang to comfort each other as they took the last plunge to the bottom of the Pacific, while knowing that their sacrifices and even their existence would be covered up.
  • Claire and Tony's last concert as they go back in time to save millions from a planet about to explode in a Thanatos Gambit. The final piece that they play is the Main Theme from Superman as an act of defiance and hope to comfort those who are doomed alongside them.
  • The ending of Harry's first dream of his previous life showed the True Side of Daji in her earlier days, and ended with the execution of her Lover
  • Ehren's reunion with her beloved Vati. She is crying Tears of Joy to see the man that she loves is alive and can create the perfect family that she wishes to have... and then she realizes that he has turned himself into everything that she hates and fears the most about herself. Worse, she will have to pretend to be the devoted and loving Tochter that he thinks that she is, while searching for escape or a way to destroy him.note 
  • Colombe finally reading the last letter written by her beloved younger sister, who she was unable to save from being guillotined in the French Revolution over two centuries ago, along with finding out that Marie-Claire's wedding dress had been gifted to her and her daughters:
    August 11th, 1789

    To my flying dove, from your caged songbird,

    I have had a recurring premonition that no child of my body shall survive to inherit this dress, so I shall leave it for you, my beloved sister. I humbly request that when true love finally finds you and yours, that you wear it upon the happiest day of your life as I have done. I fear my hopes and prayers to stand alongside you upon that day as you stood with me are in vain. Therefore, I shall be present in spirit as you stood beside me in body as I entered wedded bliss.

    I feel my death calling me to join our Papa, so I shall finish with perhaps my final thoughts that I may share with you.

    God has truly blessed me to have been granted an older sister such as you. I forgive you for continuing on when I am no more, and all your transgressions against me. Mourn me as we have mourned our Papa, yes, but know that what approaches for me shall never harm my love for you. One day we shall be reunited in eternal glory with each other and Papa.

    I close with my daily prayer that you shall find your absent father to mend the hole in your heart.

    With all my love,

    Marie-Claire Helene du Chasteler de Bury et de Bocarme
