History TearJerker / DigimonFrontier

* Koji near the beginning of episode 23, he's still suffering from the injures he'd sustained from the last battle with Duskmon. Despite his injures he still tries desperately to save J.P. Zoe and Tommy. Thankfully, Takuya returns in time to help him.

* Ranamon's death in episode 26. Seeing Kazemon know that she actually had a good heart deep down and only was evil because she was lonely, and wanting only to purify her....*Sniff!*

** Especially [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFEG5hwO_zw a specific live performance of the song...held after Kouji Wada's death]]. AiM is alone on stage, next to an empty mic stand where Kouji should be. Though his parts are obviously provided via recordings, it feels like Kouji is singing from heaven. Commenters note that though AiM was smiling, the sadness in her voice is very clear.

* In episode 27, when we find out what Kouji was doing on the day he went to the Digital World buying flowers for his step-mother and what he had intended to do call her "Mom" for the first time.

** It's really the delivery that sells it. Episode 30 and 32 are pretty much the [[WhamEpisode Wham Episodes]] here as they basically amount to establishing that Duskmon, the villain who had scared the living daylights out of Takuya and given him hallucinations and had practically beaten the five every time he met them was actually a lonely child who wanted very, very badly to meet the twin brother he never knew he had.

* In episode 45 "All Aboard The Tag Team Express", several powerful Digimon led by a Zanbamon have grown tired of making the Digidestined fight the Royal Knights all alone. So they attempt to attack Dynasmon and Crusadermon as they approach the Autumn Leaf Fair. Sadly despite their best efforts, all but two of them are killed.

** Bokomon and Neemon's ''last scene.'' Yeah, the comic relief duo actually have a sad last scene with Bokomon, ''out of nowhere'', crying and begging the kids not to leave him so soon and ''Neemon'' for once pulling ''him'' back. Bokomon's final words are tearfully shouting out to the kids that he'll write down everything that they have done to save the Digital World so that generations of Digimon will always know of them and all they went through as "the best friends a Digimon could ever hope for." Aaaww...

* Ranamon's death. Seeing Kazemon know that she actually had a good heart deep down and only was evil because she was lonely, and wanting only to purify her....*Sniff!*

* Sakkakumon psychologically tormenting the kids in episode 29 "Phantasmagoric Sakkakumon" is a tearjerker and NightmareFuel.

* The DownerEnding of 40, the new kids are attacked by the Royal Knights. Then Dynasmon easily defeats and kills Angemon. Katsuharu and the others are forced to watch helplessly as their protector is murdered before their eyes.
* The Royal Knights are particularly cruel in episode 41. Attacking a town full of harmless Mamemon, just so they can learn how to get the town's Fractal Code.

* Despite having few redeeming qualities (though it was implied that they were under Lucemon's MindControl), the deaths of Dynasmon and Crusadermon in episode 47.

** Even better: when the kids go back home, they realize that they went a bit back in time... just some minutes after his almost DeathByFallingOver. They go to the hospital and he's laying almost lifeless in the operation table. Cue to Kouji crying BerserkerTears and begging Kouichi to live... and Kouchi, [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome pretty much out of ''sheer willpower'', forces himself back to the realm of the living.]] Cue the tears of both sadness and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments happiness]].
