* Seeing Sig [[SuperpoweredEvilSide overtaken by his demonic side]] in ''Puzzle Pop'' can genuinely be quite heartwrenching if you're familiar with his character. He's a peaceful and kind (if rather spacey) boy who would never deliberately hurt someone, but is quickly being warped beyond recognition by a power he can barely even ''understand'', much less control or stop. And arguably the saddest part is that Meena, the one responsible for undoing his seal and causing all this, didn't even have any bad intentions: She simply tried to tap into his power so she could create a happy dream for Amitie, unaware of what exactly she was playing with until it was too late.

* Schezo's ending in ''Waku Waku Puyo Puyo Dungeon'' has a surprisingly somber note to it. Despite having defeating Doppelganger Schezo so he can reclaim his power, Schezo's grown in power so much over his adventure that taking it back is pointless. It's implied Schezo saw a part of his past self disappear with his doppelganger, calling him "his former self" before evacuating Waku Puyo Land. In a sense, it honors Doppelganger Schezo's desire to be the real Schezo.

* At the end of Schezo's story in ''Puyo Puyo Tetris'', Schezo has defeated Sig, and Sig decides to [[ItMakesSenseInContext give Schezo his demon hand]]. Before Schezo takes it, Sig says good-bye to the family of bugs living in his hand. He asks Schezo to take care of them since they're his now. Despite the story actually ending with Schezo changing his mind at the last second as soon as Sig mentions the bugs, it still really hurts to see. ESPECIALLY as this has one of the few times that Sig actually shows emotion.

* A major plot point in ''Madou Monogatari: Chaotic Final Exam'', is when Schezo, later Arle and Rulue, have a HopelessBossFight against Phantom God. Arle is severely injured, Rulue is seriously hurt too, and Schezo is barely active enough to try and save at least Arle from certain death. Schezo ends up taking the brunt of Phantom God's magic, and is the last thing Arle sees before ending up in another labyrinth. While Arle managed to escape her fate, Rulue presumably didn't, and Schezo definitely didn't when he ''died in front of her''. Though she has Carbuncle, never has she felt so alone without them. She does eventually reunite with Rulue, but for the time between then, her perkiness is completely absent.

* ''Puyo Puyo Tetris''' ending. For a crossover between two puzzle franchises, Ringo's line to Tee when he and his crew have to go back to the Tetris dimension with no way of knowing if they'll ever see their new friends again is surprisingly heavy. ''Puyo Champions'' only makes it worse; while it's perfectly understandable why the ''Tetra'' crew aren't in it, it just further reinforces for many fans that they and the ''Puyo'' cast will, in all likelihood, never see each other again.

* Klug's depressive fit during his story in ''20th Anniversary'', crying to Amitie over everything he's had to deal with. While it initially is played for comedy, his wallowing does weigh heavily when he's basically crying over how much his studies, which is what he's best known for, are meaningless.

* ''Rulue's Spring Break'' delves into the titular heroine's past in the "Explore the Wonderful Land" route, revealing Rulue's growth into the temperamental woman she is. Partway into her adventure, she encounters a music box that makes her reminisce about a promise with her grandma. As a child, she always loved viewing the cherry blossoms, and was promised a cherry blossom music box for her birthday from her grandma, even pinky-swearing on it. She didn't get exactly the right one, shattered it out of spoiled rage, never forgiving her grandma for breaking a promise. She's hung up on that incident to this day, regretting she ever said that.

* The first ''Puyo Puyo'''s second-to-last opponent is Rulue (or Lulu, in the English arcade version), who blocks Arle (or Silvana) to win the heart of the Dark Prince. In the Japanese script, Arle is simply confused about her behavior and it's played for laugh, but in the English version, she seems genuinely torn over having to fight her own friend, even begging Rulue to "come to her senses".
