History TearJerker / TheUmbrellaAcademy2019

* Abrasive as he is, Luther finding out that he was sent to the moon for four years just because his father pitied him and didn't want him around is heartbreaking. Luther was the only member of the Academy to always have faith in their father, but that was thrown back in his face.

* The flashback to Harold’s childhood at the beginning. As unlikeable as he is an adult, it’s still sad to him as an {{Adorkable}} child being raised with an [[AbusiveParent Abusive Parent]] over a situation he had no control over, and sent away and laughed at when he tries to meet with his childhood heroes. What’s even sadder is the look of adoration his father gives him at his birth before his mother dies.

* After she embraces her White Violin persona, Vanya revisits painful memories of being rejected by her siblings as she destroys each of the bedrooms and the whole house. She truly believed her siblings hated her whole life and the revelation that Sir Reginald hid her powers from her and had ostracized didn’t help.

* Vanya wailing as Leanord drags her away from Allison's body, yelling that she couldn't leave her sister behind.
** After accidentally slicing her throat, Vanya falls to the floor and tearfully apologizes to Allison, saying that she didn't mean to hurt her.

* Klaus does not consider it a possibility that his family could even realize that he’s gone.

* During the final confrontation, Allison manages to get the drop on Vanya, just as said character has the other Hargreeves siblings pinned and is slowly killing them. She looks utterly torn and heartbroken as she tries to decide whether to shoot or not. Luckily crosses over with Crowning Moment of Awesome as she comes up with another solution that manages to save all of them, [[OhCrap and then]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero that third option causes the moon to blow up and destroy the world]].

* The flashback to the children sans Vanya getting their tattoos. Allison and Klaus have already gotten them and are crying in each other's arms. Diego is in the chair, whimpering and wincing at the pain but refusing to take Grace's offered reassuring hand. Luther, Five, and Ben are sitting and waiting their turn. Luther is trying to keep a stoic expression but the camera lingers on him anxiously clawing at his sleeve. Ben's forehead is sweaty and his lower lip is quivering. Five visibly swallows a lump in his throat. Meanwhile, Vanya, watching from the stairs, draws herself a tattoo in marker, jealous of something that's traumatizing for her siblings just because it's yet another thing she's left out of. It's a horrible moment for all of them!

* Diego seeing Grace having sewn through her arm and realising that Luther and Allison were right that something was wrong with her, and thus disabling her. Her DissonantSerenity as they talk through this is especially heartbreaking because he reverts to his childhood stutter and she repeats her guidance to get him through what he wants to say.

* Not just [[spoiler: Patch's death]], but Diego's reaction to it. The music, his heartbroken expression, his desperate scolding, all of it.

* Vanya wailing as Leanord drags her away [[spoiler: from Allison's body, yelling that she couldn't leave her sister behind]].
** After accidentally slicing her throat, Vanya falls to the floor [[spoiler: and tearfully apologizes to Allison, saying that she didn't mean to hurt her]].

* Vanya confronting [[spoiler: and murdering Pogo]] after he tells her he knew about her powers all along. [[spoiler: Pogo]] was basically a father figure to the siblings and Vanya, and he had good intentions but Vanya, already angered and out for blood, wasn’t about to listen to reason anymore.

* In episode 2, we see how Number Five discovers the Bad Future, including the burnt-out ruins of the Academy and his siblings lying dead in the rubble. Especially bad because at that point, he's not a world-weary 58-year-old trapped in a child's body, but actually a child.
* Luther locking Vanya up. Her other brothers want to let her go and argue with Luther. When Luther refuses even Allison, you can see how upset both Allison and Vanya are with his decision.
* Almost everything relating to Klaus after he comes back from the trip to the past, but especially his desire to get sober so he can use his powers because he's that desperate to see Dave again. Made worse by the fact that, in "The Day That Wasn't", he managed to succeed at seeing Dave again but as the day is rewound and erased, he doesn't manage it a second time. Instead, when he unlocks his powers he gets Reginald while expecting Dave.
** The scene where Klaus returns in episode 5 is particularly notable for its RewatchBonus {{Tearjerker}}. The first time you watch the series, you're concerned for him because he's clearly been through something traumatic, but aren't yet sure what. On a rewatch? It immediately becomes clear that this is Klaus probably only moments after Dave's death--his hands are still covered with blood, and he sobs and claws at the ground just like he does in every scene of him cradling Dave's body. Klaus isn't just traumatized, he's ''grieving''.
