History TearJerker / SailorMoonCrystal

* Usagi screaming in anguish in acts 8 and 9 as Tuxedo Mask [[spoiler:gets captured after TakingTheBullet for her]]. ''All of it.''
* The Inners [[EverybodyCries all breaking down]] and mourning when [[spoiler:the Shitennou are all killed before their eyes immediately after they'd had their memories restored.]]
* Chibi-Usa's situation in general: [[spoiler:only child of the Crystal Tokyo royal family, heir to the throne]], yet powerless and ridiculed (accusations of her not being [[spoiler:royalty by birth]] implied), and overshadowed by her mother's awesomeness and elegance.
* Hotaru's backstory. [[spoiler: She was only a little girl when she was caught in the fire, presumably from her own father's doing. Sure it was an accident, but she spends the rest of her life as his "little doll" he put back together. The fire probably explains why she has her seizures. To make it even worse, her father is using her body as a vessel for Mistress 9 and she's afraid of anyone else abandoning her because of her now-cyborg body, thus explaining why she's always alone.]]
** Hotaru's life in general up until [[spoiler: she's reborn as Saturn.]]
* [[spoiler: When Chibi-Usa finds out Hotaru is a cyborg and runs away for a moment. Hotaru, now believing she's lost the only friend she ever had, then questions why she has to live at all.]]
* [[spoiler:King Endymion]] reaching for his daughter as she ran to him, even though he isn't corporeal and so she'll just run straight through him, in an instinctive act to attempt to comfort his distraught little girl.

* [[spoiler:Sailor Pluto's death]]. Made even worse when [[spoiler:it allows Chibi-Usa to break free of Wiseman's influence and become Sailor Chibi Moon... only for Pluto to not revive as the poor girl's begging her to open her eyes and see her in her new heroic form.]]
* [[spoiler: In Act 33 - Infinity 7, the Outers revealing the truth about Hotaru and Sailor Saturn-and explaining they have no choice but executing a MercyKill before it's too late]].
** Chibi-Usa's reaction to the above: [[spoiler:running to Hotaru to try and save her... Only, that's when Mistress 9 awakens and takes over her body before stealing Chibi-Usa's Silver Crystal and soul]].
* [[spoiler:Act 34 - Infinity 8: the only known way to save Chibi-Usa is to kill Mistress 9, and thus Hotaru, and they don't even have much time to try and find another way before it's too late.]]
* [[spoiler: In Act 35 - Infinity 9, Hotaru's ghost saying goodbye to her father, after Sailor Moon killing him.]]
* [[spoiler: Act 36 - Infinity 10, Hotaru's spirit and the goodbye between her and Chibi-Usa-chan.]]
* [[spoiler: Act 37 - Infinity 11, Infinite, Judge: after Sailor Moon's HeroicSacrifice, Sailor Chibi Moon crying and saying ''MAAAAMAAAA!!!!!!!'']]

** [[spoiler: And to add further insult to injury, Chibi-Usa realizes her mistake and returns to the house…Only for Mistress Nine to fully take over Hotaru’s body and rip out her Silver Crystal and soul, putting Chibi-Usa on the brink of death.]]

* [[spoiler: Act 38 - Infinity 12, Infinite - Journey: Sailor Saturn's 'death', being sealed along with Master Pharaoh 90 by a teary Pluto. Chibi Moon's reaction to the loss is also particularly heart-rending. The departure of the outers following the defeat isn't without a few moments, either.]]

* Ikuko Tsukino's voice actress Creator/YukoMizutani died of breast cancer only one day after Act 31 - Infinity 5 aired on TV. It's sad watching her role knowing that it was one of her last.
