** In the scene where Leila and D make their deal, Leila wonders to D about why he does what he does when he clearly hates it so much. D's response is as simple as it is devastating:
-->'''D:''' ...Because I'm a dhampir. I don't ''get'' to have a life. Not like you.
-->'''D:''' ...Because I'm a dhampir. I don't ''get'' to have a life. Not like you.

The next day Tae and D take the old woman to be buried, Tae driving the funeral wagon and D walking along behind in the scorching sun with his hat off as the only mourner to attend.

* ''Raiser of Gales'' ends on a bittersweet note. Despite her hopes, Lila begins to disintegrate into dust shortly after she gives an impassioned speech to her examiners and to the audience about how she hopes the Nobility and humanity might one day be able to co-exist in peace, just after revealing herself to be a artificial hybrid. Although her death is tamer compared to her childhood friends' more gruesome fates, it's still a somber affair. That said, her speech did reach her secret admirer (the same one who gave her flowers who she hoped to meet before she died) yells to D as he leaves for the Capital that he intends to study the Nobility, likely to continue Lila's dreams for her.
* If you were hoping ''Demon Deathchase'' ends the same way as its film adaptation ''Bloodlust'', think again. Unlike in the film, Meier and Charlotte arrive at the castle to find...nothing. Their hopes for escaping to a better life are dashed. D and Leila catch up to them and the former intends to finish off Meier, [[HopeSpot only to stop just short of his heart and claim Charlotte's ring as "proof" of her death]]. Even that moment of happiness is torn away as Borgoff-possessed Machira kills Meier in full view of Charlotte. When D dispatches Machira and turns his attention to Charlotte, he finds her [[TogetherInDeath impaled on Meier's claws, having chosen to die with him than live without her beloved]].

!! ''Vampire Hunter D''
* Lamika's death, having decided that she no longer had any reason to live if going on without her father meant she would no longer live as a noblewoman. D, knowing she has human blood in her urges her to decide for herself whether to go on living as a vampire or as a human, but Lamika instead vows to die as the noble she is. D looks upon her with his usual stoic expression, but perhaps slightly more saddened that she has decided her life no longer has any meaning as he watches her march calmly to her fate.
* Dr. Fehring's death at Lamika's hands, after having himself been transformed into a vampire. Before he is stabbed to death, Fehring acknowledges he once saw Doris as the closest thing he ever had to a daughter, all the while entertaining the idea of being able to suck her blood. Before falling to his death, he pleads a traumatized Doris to forgive him for his actions.
* The death of Doris' horse Luke at the start of the film, having been viciously mauled by a mutant and then dragged away to his violent end by a werewolf before Doris was able to rescue him.
