History TearJerker / DragonBallSuper

* [[spoiler:TheReveal that Frost was just as evil as Frieza counts as one in and on itself, as many people both In-Universe and in the fanbase had taken a liking to him because he seemed to be such a NiceGuy]].

* It's hard not to feel a little bad for Frost when Goku is beating him around, especially since Frost wants to win the tournament to end all conflict in his universe. [[spoiler:Subverted that Frost is actually as bad as Frieza]].

* It's hard not to feel a little bad for Frost when Goku is beating him around, especially since Frost wants to win the tournament to end all conflict in his universe.

* While Champa's and Beerus' bicker may be somewhat amusing, it's still sad to see two twins fighting like this.

** Dende crying over Piccolo's body, and begging Goku and Vegeta to pay Frieza back. Given that Frieza is the same monster who nearly wiped out his entire race, he most likely takes Piccolo's death very personally.
*** Even worse is that Piccolo fused with Nail, who Dende really looked up too. He might be crying over him too...

* While he did become an evil asshole like Frieza, everything that happened to Tagoma after Frieza's resurrection was tragic; first he's critically injured by the guy [[UngratefulBastard he helped revive]] just for [[DisproportionateRetribution suggesting that he forget about the saiyans]]. After that, he is forcefully made Frieza's unwilling "sparring partner" (living punching bag) for his training. Every day, for four months straight, he was tortured to the brink of death, placed in the new instant healing tank, brought back to full health, and then tortured to near death again, rinse, repeat. The horrible experience twisted the once NobleDemon who cared about his commander and allies, and who was willing to spare those that had angered him and his commander, into a maniac who no longer showed any mercy to anyone, cared nothing for his allies, and who was now cruel and sadistic. Just as things were finally going his way, and he was going to be made frieza's new commander and be given a number of planets to rule, he had his body stolen. Now, he must spend the rest of his life trapped in a frog's body.

!Universe 6 Tournament Saga

* The revelation that Sixth Universe's Earth was destroyed in a war and that humanity is extinct there.

* Frieza's destruction of the Earth is even more crushing, as this version bothers to show the families of Bulma, Goku, Gohan and Krillin in the final seconds before their destruction. All of them quickly hit the DespairEventHorizon.

** There ''is'' a little silver-lining to this. Vegeta, being the poster-child for ProudWarriorRaceGuy, looks at it as "At least I can say that the only being who could actually kill me and make me stay dead ''was the God Of Destruction himself!''" which is basically the biggest BadassBoast a warrior could ask for.

** Goku softly telling Piccolo that they ''will'' bring him back.

* Piccolo has made a HeroicSacrifice to save Gohan after Frieza's gruesome torture.

** On a similar note, this scene also give us a brief hint of how Yamcha and Chiaotzu must have felt when they quit fighting after the Cell Games, since he too is now forced into the sidelines and rarely gets to help in protecting Earth since the role went to the Saiyans like Goku, Vegeta, or Gohan.

** Even sadder is that Krillin's lament acknowledges the CantCatchUp scenario of the Z-Fighters. Most of them acted as TheRival for Goku at one point in the original series before Goku ended up fighting more powerful enemies and becoming far stronger since he found out he was a Saiyan. Furthermore, while Krillin had already retired from fighting since the Cell Games, this must have been the first time that he acknowledged his weakness in the series.

* After nearly getting killed by Goku by accident, Krillin has 18 tend to his wounds. He then laments about how huge the gap between him and Goku got over the years. For anybody who watched the original series, it's hard to hear this since there was a time on which Goku and Krillin were more or less in the same level. Watching as Goku gets strong enough to fight gods while Krillin's best efforts can't make much of a difference is harsh.

* It's sad to see Vegeta being in a pathetic state after Beerus gave him a HumiliationConga: Beerus [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking trolls Vegeta by startling him witless, crashes Bulma's birthday party, and then proceeds to beat up Buu for eating the last pudding.]] It escalates further to the point where the main cast members attempt to take down Beerus, only to fail miserably. In the last moments, Vegeta tried to defy Beerus, only for him to get curbstomped by the god of destruction. It's gotten to the point where Vegeta would at least be honored in being killed by Beerus.
