History TearJerker / MobileFighterGGundam

* The episode where Domon upgrades to the God Gundam - Rain remotely controls the nearly-totaled Shining Gundam to get Domon's battle data to the God Gundam. The scene is both heartwarming and sad, as Domon had been fighting alongside the Shining Gundam for almost a year. He [[PietaPlagiarism holds the ruined Shining Gundam like a princess]] [[https://36.media.tumblr.com/cab0ba16dd0e3afd9aa6f12c81aa731f/tumblr_n7or4tjO1k1s50j4bo1_1280.png in God Gundam's arms]].
* Dahal Muhammad's fate, oneshot character or not, is horrifically tragic. He was a Gundam Fighter who took the championship for Neo Egypt in the 3rd Fight but during the 4th Fight an accident during his fight with Sai Saici's grandfather lead to his cockpit being detonated, killing him. Death however simply made him a viable target for the Devil Gundam, which infected him and resurrected him as a cyborg mummy that went on to murder the current Neo Egypt team. What's saddest about this is his undead body still remembers his death and desires one final rematch with Feilong, which due to their similarities he hunts down Sai Saici for. The one and only thing he says is the pre-fight "Ready!", which shows his desire to fight Neo China's fighter one last time [[FightingFromTheInside gave him the strength to fight his DG Infection from the inside.]] Rain even breaks down crying when Domon has to use the Shining Finger to cremate Dahal to spare him the fate of being the Devil Gundam's zombified slave.

** Then, in final episode, when Allenby makes Domon realize he needs to confess his love to Rain and few episodes earlier, when she mentions she knows how Rain is most important person in the world to Domon - when one think about it, for somebody [[OrphansOrdeal who had a harsh life like her]] and went through what [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden she]] just did, realizing the first and probably only person who understands her and whom she loves will always care for her but simply cannot return her romantic feelings because he has given his heart to someone else (and probably [[ChildhoodFriendRomance gave it to her *before* even met Allenby]]) must have hit pretty hard. [[IronWoobie And it makes Allenby *awesome*]].

-->'''Both''': Tenpa kyoran! ''LOOK! THE EAST IS BURNING REEEEED!!'' (天破侠乱! 見よ! 東方は赤く燃えている!! ''Tenpa Kyōran! Mīro! Tōhō wa akaku moete iru!!'')

-->'''Both''': The school of the Undefeated of the East![[note]]Ryu ha! Touhoufuhai wa![[/note]]

* What about the death of Master Asia? After a very last, gruelling battle, Domon tops his Master out, only to find out that he wasn't really as much as an SOB that he thought he was, he was misguided by his mistake to be absorbed in Gundam Fights that ravaged the Planet Earth and that everyone only cared about the Fights, not the planet. And then, Master reveals that he still retained his honor, not infecting himself with the DG Cells. Finally, for one last time, master and disciple recite the motto of School of Touhou Fuhai (''Look, the East is burning REEEEDDD!!!''), and Master Asia finally perishes after finishing the reciting, followed with a very crushing cry of Domon... ''[[SayMyName "SHISHOU!"]]'' (or a BigNo in the English Dub).

* A more subtle one: Chico and Gina Rodriguez's backstories. Yeah, the Tequila Gundam is ''very'' stereotypical, but the pilot and his IllGirl sister's [[BreakTheCutie story of sickness, poverty and desolation]] is ''very'' sad.

* Don't forget the death of Dr. Mikamura, killed for becoming TheAtoner after realizing [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone how all of his sins destroyed the Kasshu family and made his little girl Rain suffer as well]]. The guy's FamousLastWords don't help, as he releases Dr. Kasshu's capsule into space so the others will retrieve him, and he sadly says "Can you see me, my old friend? I couldn't beat you, even to the very end..."

** Theh, in final episode, when Allenby makes Domon realize ne heeds to confess his love to Rain and few episodes earlier, when she mentions she knows how to Domon Rain is most important person in the world - when one think about it, for somebody [[OrphansOrdeal who had a harsh life like her]] and went through what [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden she]] just did, realizing the first and probably only person who understands her and whom she loves will always care for her but simply cannot return her romantic feelings because he has given his heart to someone else (and probably [[ChildhoodFriendRomance gave it to her *before* even met Allenby]])]] must have hit pretty hard. [[IronWoobie and it makes Allenby *awesome*.

* Nearly the entirety of episode 6. This is the only time that we get to see Domon before he went on a quest for revenge, and it's just so jarring to see him this relaxed and legitimately ''happy''. It's like seeing the kid inside Domon that until now was barely hinted at. What makes this even worse is that [[spoiler: not only is this a simulation of an event for which Domon wasn't even present, but it turns out that the version of the event shown was a lie.]] Think about it: Domon went through everything in that episode and suffered [[spoiler: for a two-layered lie]]. The only positive thing that came from this is Domon's [[spoiler: awakening of his Super Mode]], but he definitely deserved it after what happened.
* What about the death of [[spoiler:Master Asia]]? [[spoiler:After a very last, gruelling battle, Domon tops his Master out, only to find out that he wasn't really as much as an SOB that he thought he was, he was misguided by his mistake to be absorbed in Gundam Fights that ravaged the Planet Earth and that everyone only cared about the Fights, not the planet. And then, Master reveals that he still retained his honor, not infecting himself with the DG Cells. Finally, for one last time, master and disciple recite the motto of School of Touhou Fuhai (''Look, the East is burning REEEEDDD!!!''), and Master Asia finally perishes after finishing the reciting, followed with a very crushing cry of Domon... ''[[SayMyName "SHISHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"]]'' (or a BigNo in the English Dub)]]
* And [[spoiler: Domon crying the epithome of ManlyTears as he's forced to kill [[CainAndAbel his once-hated, now-again-beloved older brother Kyouji]] to [[ShootTheDog free him (and his clone, Schwarz Bruder) from the Devil Gundam...]] Once it sinks that Kyouji ''never'' was really to blame since he was BrainwashedAndCrazy, and that he used his last bits of free will to create Schwarz Bruder and [[MustMakeAmends try fixing what went so utterly wrong]]... the ''"BROOOOOOOTHEEEEEER!!"'' (or ''"KYOOOOOOOJI!!!!!"'' in English Dub) is a slap to the face for both Domon ''and'' the watchers.]]
** The worst part is right as [[spoiler: Domon is about perform the Erupting God Sekiha Tenkyoken.]] If the viewer looks closely, [[spoiler: they can see what look like tears forming in the God Gundam's eyes.]]
*** And if that wasn't enough, the [[spoiler: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLOZ-lsfmIA somber reprise of the Shining Finger theme]]]] that plays really hammers it home. [[spoiler: Domon shaking, trying to hold back the tears as he prepares to do the deed while giving his final goodbye to his brother]] just before this begins is equally gut-wrenching. The whole sequence is so tearjerking that even [[{{Narrator}} Stalker]] is visibly trying his damnedest [[TryingNotToCry trying not to break down in tears]] while recapping the event the very next episode.

* Don't forget the death of [[spoiler: Dr Mikamura, killed for becoming TheAtoner after realizing [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone how all of his sins destroyed the Kasshu family and made his little girl Rain suffer as well]].]] The guy's FamousLastWords don't help, as he [[spoiler: releases Dr. Kasshu's capsule into space so the others will retrieve him, and he sadly says "Can you see me, my old friend? I couldn't beat you, even to the very end..."]].
* Also the very final episode is... depending on the viewer's opinion either a {{TearJerker}} or a [[{{NarmCharm}} hilarious scene.]] At the very least it is very impressive, when [[spoiler: Domon saves Rain and they use the Love-Love Sekiha Tenkyoken together]]
* The final moments of [[spoiler:Master Asia]] in ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''. The Kyoji moment may have help build it up. It only becomes even more poignant if you understand the true meaning of [[spoiler:the word "shishou"]]. Apparently, [[spoiler:it doesn't just mean "master" but refers to someone's first teacher, who they hold in very high regard for life no matter how far they advance, even if they transcend their master utterly. Thus adding another layer to Master Asia's surprise when he says to Domon: "after all this you still call me master?"]]

* Similarly, Andrew Graham's backstory about how [[TheLostLenore his wife perished]] in a collision with Argo's pirate ship and he was consumed with thoughts of killing Argo in revenge ever since. [[spoiler: Except it turns out that Argo didn't murder Graham's wife - he'd actually failed to ''save'' her when he tried.]]

* And when [[spoiler: Rain]] decides to leave after learning the truth about [[spoiler: the Devil Gundam]] and thinking that, since [[spoiler: her dad]] was involved in the whole fuck-up, she can't face [[spoiler: Domon]] anymore? Seeing [[spoiler: Domon]] try to desperately reach for her, only to fail, is ''heartbreaking''.
* A minor one, but deserves mention here: during Allenby and Rain's DesignatedGirlFight, a BrainwashedAndCrazy Allenby is rampaging and looking for Domon. To see the lonely and frightened side of her come completely to the forefront, frantically searching for the only one who can understand her can be heartrending. [[spoiler: Her AnguishedDeclarationOfLove may be the clincher.]]
** Theh, in final episode, when Allenby makes Domon realize ne heeds to [[spoiler: confess his love to Rain]] and few episodes earlier, when she mentions she knows how [[spoiler: to Domon Rain is most important person in the world]] - when one think about it, for somebody [[OrphansOrdeal who had a harsh life like her]] and went through what [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden she]] just did, [[spoiler: realizing the first and probably only person who understands her and whom she loves will always care for her but simply cannot return her romantic feelings because he has given his heart to someone else (and probably [[ChildhoodFriendRomance gave it to her *before* even met Allenby]])]] must have hit pretty hard.

MobileFighterGGundam: the RatedMForManly series also has TearJerker moments of their own, which will bring out ManlyTears from the viewer, no matter the gender.

* Kyoji Kasshu's death, so tear jerking that even this HotBlooded series has gone down to the valley of tears.
* The death of Master Asia, oh yes! [[{{Badass}} THAT MASTER ASIA]].
