Tear Jerker / Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch

Go To

  • Rina and Hanon's past can be heartwrenching. Rina ends up losing her friend, Noel, that sacrifices herself to save Rina from Gaito's hands. While Hanon is forced to flee her kingdom which is about to be destroyed.
    • The cheer on the top is that Karen thinks Rina actually got her twin sister Noel captured by Gaito on purpose. This causes a disagreement between the two mermaids. Thankfully, the situation gets better.
  • Sara and Gaito's death in episode 52.
  • Lucia crying after Kaito, who has lost all his memories, left with Michal from Mermaid Melody Pure - episode 6.
  • Given the Star-Crossed Lovers scenario, Hippo's relationship with Yuuri has some Tear Jerker moments, particularly in Mermaid Melody - Episode 25 and 42.
  • Seira getting absorbed by Mikeru just as she was about to be born in Pure episode 7, and Lucia begging for him not to kill Seira.
  • Mimi crying in Pure episode 33, after discovering that the first friends she ever made were actually the mermaid princesses. And later, Mimi and Sheshe are killed by Mikeru: the sisters embrace and confess their love for each other as they fade away in the white.
  • It is revealed that Mikaru has always been sick and she couldn't go anywhere because of it. She always wanted to have a friend that would have loved her. The kicker? She actually gets Kaito as a new friend, and when he regains his memories and leaves her house, she feels really heartbroken.
