[[folder: Part 11: A Sound of Ed]]

* As one might guess, the Cul-de-sac residents reaction to Ed's demise is a prime example, as they react with disbelief and, even in Sarah's case (especially, actually), despair. The following funeral drives it right home, complete with [[CueTheRain a storm.]]
** The funeral in question? He's buried next to the Chunky Puff's factory, Edd can barely get himself to leave after it's all said and done, and the epithet...'''"Here lies Ed. He smiled for the world, no matter how horrible it was. Kronos bless."'''
** Oh, and Mikiko places a smaller but no less meaningfully grave for Yumi. She ends up holding Edd in a tear-filled hug for a while. Really drives home the contrast as to how she was at the start of this fic.
* Kaim's CurbStompBattle at the hands of Devilbreaker, set to State of Mine's cover of Rascal Flat's "What Hurts the Most". Just how brutal it is will get to you. Thankfully, he turns it around with a HeroicSecondWind.

[[folder: Epilogue]]

* In a twisted way, Ryo/Satan's desperate pleas for Akira to join his side, even as he's been DraggedOffToHell by Red Guy. While it does become more frantic, it still shows that, though the Devilman didn't die in this continuity, he truly feels like he's lost everything...and he's just realizing it now.
** Akira's reaction is just as bad. He really does want to forgive Ryo, but, after all he's done, he feels like this is for the best.

[[folder: Part 10: Thinking with Portals and Eds]]

* Just when things seem to [[HopeSpot be getting better with the awakening of Vishnu,]] Yumi's soul is suddenly absorbed into King Ghidorah. Doubles as NightmareFuel, but Mikiko's reaction to it and the aftermath are miserable sights. Just when we thought she'd be SparedByTheAdaptation. She gets better at the very end, though.
** More specifically, she's willing to fruitlessly fire shots at the golden hydra while shouting "GIVE HER BACK!". Granted, she realizes her mistake, but still.
* A minor one, but Eddy is willing to pull a near HeroicSacrifice to save Edd and the others from Devilbreaker during the portal incident alongside Kaim and Trax, even if it causes them to hurtle into the unknown. It all works out and Miki states right afterward that they're not dead, but still. After what they've been through, can you blame them?

Ed'''. [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth One of the most heroic characters besides Akira in the fic]] and this is what he gets.
** Specifically, after [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge blowing his top against Devilbreaker's forces,]] he saves Miki, but has to push past the pain when he's shot. Eventually, [[HeroicSacrifice he takes the stab meant for her.]] His final words are rather haunting.
-->''...I did it...I saved the day...I don't feel so good, though...I wonder what mom's making for dinner?'' '''THUD!'''
** Everyone's reaction to it is just as bad. From Eddy denying that he's truly gone to everyone else crying over it as Devilbreaker looms over them. Eddy's reaction deserves credit, as he was his best friend through and through.
** Edd's transformation to Vishnu is a direct result of this. Not only is it awesome (and a bit nightmarish, considering [[EldritchAbomination the final result]]), but he's obviously torn up and filled with vengeance. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgCNtkcwFfQ music conveys this rather well.]]
* Speaking of Edd, we've also got Vis' death. However, it's a much happier one, as [[GoOutWithASmile Vis has hope for the future and is proud of Edd for rising to the occasion.]] The snarky demon may be gone, but it's the thought that counts.
-->''...I'm proud of you, kid. (Vanishes forever)''

-->''It's all one big damn loop! We're trapped in one where we die over and over again and it always ends with Satan losing the one he loves! And he doesn't even know what love is until it's too late! God just decided to punish Satan, but drag us down with it! It's all a joke! ALL ONE BIG [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKING JOKE!]]''

[[folder: Part 7: Weak Humans, Wise Demons, Active Eds]]

* Jinmen realizing, after he and Ed visit the airport, [[YouCantGoHomeAgain that his chances of getting back with his family are gone.]] Say what you will about him, but his grief is palpable.
** Following that, we've got Ed witnessing [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters a child Devilman getting shot to death by the military.]] He lashes out, defeating them, and is left utterly confused and angry for a time before resolving to fight more demons. [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil It's plain to see how this is all affecting him.]]
-->''It's not fair...IT'S NOT FAIR! [[BrokenPedestal The army is supposed to be the good guy!]]''
* Kaim, [[EnemyMine before joining with the heroes]], has a flashback when he and Sirene [[ChildhoodFriendRomance became best friends.]] It's both sweet and sad, considering what's been going on.

* The poor aliens that are wiped out by [[PlanetKiller Rex Formido]] in the end of the chapter. The mother and daughter aliens hugging and comforting each-other didn't help at all.
** The simple fact that [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} KING GHIDORAH]] is going to give our heroes hell is depressing on top of the [[ForegoneConclusion ending of the Crybaby series.]] All of this doubles as NightmareFuel as well.

* Ed's [[FriendVersusLover situation]], when you think about it. Either throw the race, thus angering Eddy for the umpteenth time, or win against Miko, humiliating her. He picks the first option, ultimately. [[EasilyForgiven Thankfully, circumstances prevent this from getting too out of hand.]] Still, one quote from him that even gives [[TookALevelInJerkass Miko]] pause and the first step to re-consideration.

** Next, there's the music he chooses as he does this. First, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UHBkWrzZ-Q there's when he's talking about his backstory.]] Then, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa0N1QveoeQ&feature=youtu.be&t=55s he changes the song to a much more somber one and even starts singing to it, about to cry.]] Eddy's feeling pretty bad for him by the end, though no less opportunistic.

-->''Ed couldn't fathom what just happened. His new best friend...taken away from him in a flash. Killed by one of the monsters his pals had been dealing with for some time now. Death was a touchy subject with the dullard. He was subject to seeing a lot of gory film-deaths, but real-life ones in front of him...that was a quick way to get him to shut down entirely.''
