History TearJerker / LostJudgment

--> '''Kaito:''' The way I see this, Tak, you and Kuwana both have your reasons. Something to consider, but between the both of you, [[BothSidesHaveAPoint is there really a right answer?]]

*** For extra Fridge Tearjerker, in the English dub of the game, Okuda is voiced by Creator/JamiesonPrice, while Sawa is voiced by Creator/EricaLindbeck, a.k.a, [[VideoGame/Persona5 Sojiro and Futaba Sakura]]. With that in mind, watch this scene again and ''try'' not think of your favorite coffee dad grieving for his beloved daughter.

* Kuwana crying when Reiko tells him she will turn herself in so he doesn't have to bear the burden alone any more, and so Sawa gets justice. He was willing to go through a lot to atone for his mistakes as a teacher, and it lead to Mitsuru losing his mom just as he comes out of a coma.

!!Kaito Files

** The sad part? ''None'' of the students that are shown in the video show a ''[[LackOfEmpathy single]]'' [[LackOfEmpathy hint of remorse]] for what they did to him years later. Not Mamiya (who recorded the whole thing on her phone), not Kawai (who was Mitsuru's assailant), not Akaike (who was joyfully watching Mitsuru's schadenfreude) - ''none of them.''

* When it isn't busy being amazing, the FinalBoss encounter with Kuwana is this. After dealing with RK and Soma, Kuwana plans on blowing up Kawai's body so that Reiko's secret stays hidden, along with Kawai himself, especially since Mitsuru had just woken up, and it would be absolutely devastating not only to separate a mother from her weak and ill son but also for him to be branded a murderer's son by the rest of society. Yagami, on the other hand, still torn about Sawa's death, tries to talk some sense into Kuwana, by reminding him that keeping Reiko's secrets will only do more damage in the long run and that Sawa will never get her justice if he takes this route. In the end, Kuwana is reduced to [[ScreamingWarrior an emotional wreck]], ultimately resorting to settling the score once and for all the only way he knows how. Kaito's comment before the fight best sums it up:

Kaito's comment before the fight best sums it up:

* For a BloodKnight of the highest caliber, Kenmochi's mental state is quite the tragic mess. After his second boss battle, he breaks down sobbing to Kaito about how he's haunted by the memories of Mikiko's family, who he killed starting a fire, and how it was an accident he never meant to happen, having been told their house was unoccupied. Since then, he's been constantly drinking and fighting, trying to find some way to ease the pain he feels. Things get worse later on when he learns just how much he's been manipulated by his supposed best friend Kyoya, and how Kyoya intended to kill and dispose of him. When he confronts and kills the man, Kenmochi is visibly crying and desperately asking him why it had to be this way.

* Kenya Oshikiri's backstory, basically a yakuza TykeBomb trained and beaten into being a killer despite himself by his dad. During a tailing mission, Yagami notices Kenya look like a scared animal always looking over his shoulder in case his dad comes back. At the end of the story, his dad shows up and Kenya looks like a deer in the headlights, only having the courage to fight his dad after Todoroki and his other pupils get mercilessly beat up.

** Not only a memento of his son but also the clear proof of Mikoshiba bullying his son, deleting it would mean he publicly turn a blind eye to his son's bullying just like the shool did. Even if it's just temporary until his release from prison where he can reveal his plan it's just too much for him.

** Chairman Okuda, and pretty much the entirety of the school by proxy, [[HeroicBSOD does not take Sawa's death well]] ''[[HeroicBSOD at all]]''. He can barely keep his composure when announcing the news to the students the next day and, in a private conversation with Yagami, he eventually breaks down in tears, unable to understand why anyone could do harm to her, and begs Yagami to find the truth.

* [[FromBadToWorse And finally...]] Sawa's death. After everything that Yagami went through back in the first game with Okubo and Terasawa, seeing her lifeless corpse causes him to [[TheScream yell out in anguish]] at his failure as well as repeating the same mistakes he made with Emi. If that wasn't enough, then Kaito's and Sugiura's reactions will twist the knife even further. And besides, the fact that someone had the absolute gall to kill an innocent and kind young woman (that someone being Soma) is downright depressing, but infuriating and terrifying at the same time.

* Kuwana crying when Reiko tells him she will turn herself in so he doesn't have to bear the burden alone anymore and so Sawa gets justice. He was willing to go through a lot to atone for his mistakes as a teacher and it lead to Mitsuru losing his mom just as he comes out of a coma.
