Considering its source material is no stranger to tugging at the heart strings, it should be no surprise that Sasha and the Frogs will have plenty of sad moments.

- Chapter 3: Goes into full swing on Sasha finally having an epiphany and begins to accept responsibility for the events that led to her friends and herself being transported into Amphibia.
- Chapter 8: A brief one, upon reading Hop Pop's history with Bessie she ponders on whether or not if she would do the same and risk her life to rescue her friends.
- Chapter 10: This shows Sasha doesn't really grasp the concept of what true friendship is as she fails to see how Sprig is not exactly happy with how Sasha is acting as his roommate. Thankfully, she and Sprig reconcile in the end.
- Chapter 13: This chapter really highlights Sasha's Heel Realization on her manipulative nature, upon breaking her promise to not lie to Hop-Pop and causing the town to flat out throw rotten tomatoes and mud at her (after she planned a scheme to get more money backfired). On the trip back home, she broke down in tears upon self reflecting.
- Chapter 15: When Anne is training with a practice dummy. She and Grime talked about Sasha and how Sasha's actions got Anne and her friends caught up in this mess. As Grime told Anne the true nature of what Sasha's actions and using Anne as a tool instead of a friend. Anne rethinks about her past friendship with Sasha and rants as she gets more aggressive until she split the practice target in 2, all while crying and venting out her long suppressed resentment on Sasha. Anne is also unaware that Sasha is slowly changing for the better, meaning that their duel is going to be an inevitable and sorrowful one.
- Chapter 19: It turns out that Sasha's action from Chapter 13 has a devastating effect to a villager, who was attacked in the wilderness due to her manipulation. What's worse is that her son is angry at Sasha and callously rejected her apology even demanding her to leave.

- Chapter 23: Sasha spends a total of 5 freezing days protecting everyone as they hibernate. However, unlike the canon episode where everything was played for laughs, this chapter shows a realistic side of the story, making Sasha as a victim here.
- Chapter 24: The beginning has a young lonely girl celebrate her birthday party. She waits for some guests to come but no one came, even to the point of the candles extinguishing themselves. Although not stated outright, it's heavily implied that this girl was a younger Sasha and that her own parents didn't come to her 8th birthday party.
- Chapter 25-27 shows how broken Anne and Sasha's friendship is. Unlike the Reunion chapter in the canon series, Sasha is close to biting the dust due to Anne accessing her powers earlier. In fact, Anne is physically horrified by her actions that even Grime is worried about her mental health.
- Sasha's hallucinations are these. In her dream, Sasha dreamt about being a better person by apologizing to everyone she bullied including befriending Anne's mother, who is disapproving towards her toxic behavior. And when it seems like she is content with her dreams, she soon realizes that it was all a fake and immediately snaps out of it with tears on her face.
- In the end of the chapter, Anne chooses to abandon Sasha again and although they could still meet again, she makes it clear that she's cutting her off for good.
