Standing in the Hall
Until the 1970s, a common punishment used by Japanese school teachers for tardiness or rowdiness in class was to have the student (almost always a boy) stand out in the hall holding two water-filled buckets, which every classroom would normally have equipped as part of school-mandated cleaning.
While the practice was originally reserved for delinquents threatening violence against teachers
Rain Means Death
Rain is often symbolic for depression, sadness, or misery.
So naturally, many people are shown dramatically dying in the rain. It may have something to do with how rain has a very dramatic effect on the field with friends or family dying.
Compare It Always Rains at Funerals, Battle in the Rain
Contrast Rain, Rain, Go Away for people who want to defy the trope and hate rain, Happy Rain when it involves happiness.
