History TearJerker / HaruhiSuzumiya

* Say what you will about ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Endless Eight]]'', but you can't help but feel sad for Yuki every time the camera panned in [[StoicWoobie on her visibly sad face]]. Extra significance because she's the EmotionlessGirl.

* [[spoiler: Alt!]]Yuki's behavior in ''Disappearance'' seems to be designed to induce this. It's a huge shock to realize the quietly competent one has been broken, to leave a ShrinkingViolet beyond anything we've seen. [[spoiler:And then there's the look on her face when Kyon gets stabbed...]]
** [[spoiler: That look is just appropriate horror. The true tear-jerker expression from Alt!Yuki in that movie is her face when Kyon returns the Literature Club application to her. [[WhatTheHellHero Way to utterly break her heart in the cruelest way possible, Kyon!]]]]
** [[spoiler: The utterly defeated look on Kyon's face when he hands it to her does not help things in the least. He has no desire and nothing to gain in hurting her this way. As much as people talk about him being given the "choice" it's obvious that he has none. That's why Yuki decided that he needed to be the one who remembered, because he was the only one who would choose the "real" world with all its inherent craziness over her fantasy. He must SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, but that doesn't mean he's happy about it]]
** The very fact that [[spoiler: Alt!]]Yuki gets told flat out by [[spoiler: Alt!Asakura that she's only doing what Yuki wanted her to do, which was protect her, which to Asakura means killing anyone who would scare or hurt her, even those she cares for,]] is not only horrifying but absolutely heartwrenching. Just imagine ending up in a world you considered perfect, only to have something like that happen.
* The biggest tear-jerker in "The Disappearance" was [[spoiler: when Kyon was lying bleeding on the ground with Mikuru shaking him and crying, thinking to himself simply: "I'm going to die."]]
* The simple fact that in "The Disappearance" Yuki [[spoiler: changed the whole world just to give Kyon and the others a chance to live a perfectly normal life]] is a tearjerker. She might look emotionless, but deep inside she really cares about them.
** And then there's the fact that [[spoiler: she could have lived as a normal girl in the new world, but eventually the original world is restored and she reverts to a Humanoid Interface]]. Sure, it was for the best, but still... As Kyon puts it in the dub:

* For those who've read "Charmed at First Sight LOVER", after [[spoiler: Yuki fixes Nakagawa so that he can no longer see the Integrated Thought Entity, and Nakagawa rejects her,]] Kyon asks Yuki if she is disappointed that [[spoiler: his feelings for her weren't real]]. Her response? "... A little bit." Given how ''anything'' she says has a major impact and emotion is twenty times ''more'', it's impossible to not feel horribly depressed, if not tear up a little.

* Kyon attempting to punch Haruhi was pretty upsetting, even though she deserved it. She's visibly shaken and passes it off a anger at the time, but she's obviously incredibly torn up about it later.
