* Himeno's death is full of this. Injured by Katana Man and faced with death, she tells the Ghost Devil that it can have all of her in turn for its immense power. Despite that, she still loses out to the more-powerful Snake Devil, so she decides to give herself up for Aki. A couple of panels later and it's shown that her body is completely gone. The only things that remain are her Public Safety uniform and her eyepatch.
--> '''Himeno''': Don't die, Aki. I want you to cry for me when I die.
** Chapter 29 reveals that he did cry for her death. It's about as soul-crushing as it gets.

* Right off the bat, we see Denji's living situation, maimed to sell body parts, desperate enough to immediately eat a lit cigarette just for 100 yen, and being so hungry that he treats eating a slice of bread like a gourmet dinner. Even then, he doesn't seem to have much longer to live due to inheriting the disease that took his mother and [[BloodFromTheMouth coughs up blood]].
** The only comfort Denji has is Pochita and at the very least dreaming of all the things his current lifestyle denies him. But even that is taken away as the Yakuza ambush him and kill him. His last thoughts are a cruel bemoaning of how he's not even allowed to fantasize about a better life.
** Many chapters later, Denji has a dream of Pochita. It's one of the rare times he looks genuinely happy and looks excited to at least be able to dream about being with him again. But Pochita refuses, pleading to Denji to not open the door he's hiding behind. As much as the two clearly love each other, Pochita is terrified of letting Denji see what he really is.
* When the Bat Devil eats Nyako, Power just...[[DespairEventHorizon stops]]. Before she's eaten herself, she tells Denji that she now understands how he feels about not being able to pet Pochita anymore. Thankfully, Denji saves them both.
