As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.
- The Alchemist's last words to Nova in "In the Grip of Evil" are gutwreching, knowing what he was struggling with."Forgive me, dearest Nova. I won't forget you, but it is imperative, that you forget me."
- To elaborate: Skeleton King was the Alchemist, a kind magician and sorcerer, who got corrupted by evil and created Super Robot Monkey Team to stop him.
- The entirety of the third act of the Season Two finale "I, Chiro".
- Antauri's near-fatal wound at the hands of Skele-Mandarin, then his Heroic Sacrifice not too long afterwards.
- "No...no monkey team member...is ever alone." Corey Feldman's voice acting sells it.
- From "The Savage Lands", Monkeyman!Chiro attempting to bring Antauri back.
- Antauri’s rebirth and reunion with the Hyperforce can be seen as a more heartwarming one.
- During the episode "Wormhole", watching Sprx have a break down as he watches Nova get sucked into a wormhole, listening to her cries for help when he can't do anything to save her, is absolutely heartbreaking.
- Made even worse when you realize he'd been trying to confess his feelings to her not a scene earlier. He'd been this close to finally telling her, and then she literally slips through his fingers, presumably forever.
- This line said by Otto in "Belly of the Beast". The events of the "I, Chiro" saga really left a mark on him.Otto: What if we never see Chiro and Nova again, Antauri? I don’t wanna lose ‘em like I thought we lost you…
- The ending of "Incident on Ranger 7", Krinkle's backstory, raised by a robot, who while a great teacher, was a poor affection giver, and caused him to develop his obsession with heroes and a loving family. Later on, when he's forced into a Mind Rape by Antauri, we see from his memories that he wasn't just making it up or over exaggerating it (out of them, we see how he begged the robot to take him to the zoo and see monkeys when he was little, how he tried hard to train himself and failed, and how he made a vow to protect the city once he joined the team). This messes him up so badly that he loses his faith in the Hyper Force before his mind is literally destroyed by them to escape. He dies by being sucked into his machine through the cable, whereupon it explodes. The last shots are scrolls of the walls of his cell, lined with his paintings, all of which are either crying portraits of himself, kittens, and puppies among flowers, except one, a picture of himself being happy and being a part of his idol's team.
- What's even worse are the heroes' reaction to it; they are not sympathetic or helpful at all, and only serve to further his insanity.
- In "Prototype" the team learns of the tragic fate of one of the scientists who created the Super Robot, after which the robot lets out an electronic scream as if mourning his lost creator.
- Sprx turning evil in "Object of Hate" could be considered this to some people, too.
- His Heroic Fatigue rant before this also counts, because he has a point. The team has been through hell and back trying to stop Skeleton King once and for all. Antauri lost his original body in an attempt to prevent the Dark One Worm from emerging, and that was only a temporary solution. Then, they almost lost Nova in the wormhole incident. Sprx has witnessed the team experience so much pain, heartbreak and struggling trying to put an end to Skeleton King’s evil, only for it to basically be All for Nothing. It’s no wonder his faith is waning. He is just so tired.Sprx: We’ve sacrificed our lives. We went to the darkest parts of space and back to destroy him! And for what?! The Skeleton King’s STILL a threat.
- Near the end of the episode "Soul of Evil", watching Sprx electrocuting Nova while also threatning to magnetically tear her apart if the Monkey Team so much as twitches.
