History TearJerker / YoungJustice

*** And before that, Superboy saying "I can relate" when he hears the Golem's death wish. He's been where the Golem is, thinking of himself as an unnatural existence.

* We get two TearJerkers in ''Salvage.''
** The first comes from Red Arrow, who has spent the timeskip searching desperately for the real Roy Harper, only for everyone who was helping him to give up because they believe him to be dead. His physical condition, while still miles ahead of an average person, is much, ''much'' worse than it was five years ago. He's been reduced to fleecing money off of robbery victims to get funds, and he can barely keep himself clean. When his friends try to get him to clean up his act, he brushes them off and runs to his run down safe house. [[spoiler: Fortunately, the last scene in the episode is happier, with his wife Chesire introducing him to their daughter Lian Harper. So I guess that makes it three tearjerkers, at least one brings out happy tears.]]

** Second, (and admittedly, not as bad as the first one) is Blue Beetle's reaction to the Golem's destruction. Once he realized that he could talk to it, he tries to get it to stop attacking a nuclear plant, and for just a moment, it looks like he's succeeding. [[spoiler: Then an unseen villain who was watching blasts it to oblivion, destroying it.]] He just sits there for a moment, stunned by what happened and filled with grief.

* In "Alienate", we find that [[spoiler: Kaldur has defected and joined his father, Black Manta, as his apprentice, due in part to feeling betrayed by the fact that AquaMan withheld that information from him.]] However, the primary reason for this [[spoiler: shift in alliance? Tula died on a mission as Aquagirl sometime during the five year TimeSkip.]]

** Made even worse when you remember that [[spoiler: M'gann looked up to Marie Logan as her role model back on Mars, and thus she also lost someone very important to her. Someone please give these two a hug...]]

* Season 2, "Earthlings," while engaged in a happy jaunt through the thick jungles of Rann with his adopted big sister, [[CoolBigSis M'gann]], Beast Boy suddenly comes to an abrupt stop, freezing stock still and gazing ahead [[HeroicBSOD blankly.]] Miss Martian tries to figure out what's going on by linking with him telepathically, and then realizes he's staring at a small lake in front of a waterfall, just as he breaks down and starts to cry. It's then we learn [[spoiler: Queen Bee killed his mother, and Gar was the one that found her body.]] For such a young kid to have his mom taken away from him so violently like that... You can't help but feel for him.

--> ''"The girl in Atlantis who broke my heart was named Tula, who is now with my best friend Garth. Meanwhile, my best friend on the surface now aims an arrow at my chest."''

* You can't help but feel sorry for Red Arrow in "Auld Acquaintance" when he finds out that [[spoiler:he's actually a clone of the real Roy Harper and that he was programmed to infiltrate and betray the Justice League.]]

* In "Performance", when Robin sees the "Flying Graysons" poster

** One of the biggest gut-wrench factors for that scene has to be the voice acting and how well the lines are delivered. Poor M'gann just sounds so heart broken and emotionally shattered as all of her fears are pulled out of her mind and dissected. It's hard not to yell KickTheSonOfABitch when [[spoiler: she turns the MindRape right back on Psimon.]]

* The moment in "Agenda" when WonderWoman accuses Batman of raising Robin to be a crime fighter at age nine to bring his parents' killers to justice so that he would turn out to be just like him. Batman claims he did it because he ''doesn't'' want Robin to become him.

* Artemis' break down when she realizes that despite everything, the rest of the team is going to be killed, and she's going to lose the family she's made for herself. She curls into the fetal position and starts crying- its painful to watch.
** What episode was that?
*** "Homefront"

* In "Image" Psimon showing M'gann her worst fears if her true form as [[spoiler: a White Martian]] was revealed. All her friends rejecting her, J'onn banishing her from Earth to be alone on Mars and her very worst fear: Superboy walking away from her repulsed and saying he could never love her.

*** "Homefront"

* "Secrets" was very ''very'' dark. We find out that a guy calling himself Harm murdered his own sister to gain magical powers. In the end, it's discoverd that [[spoiler:Greta]] could only say the word "Secret", because "Secret" was the very last word she ever saw before she died.

** And then ''again'' [[spoiler:when it turns out the "she died 12 minutes ago" was a ploy by the villains. The heart does get to the right girl, and she died on the operating table, which turns out to have been a ploy by Kid Flash himself to get Count Vertigo to do the EvilGloating thing]] and causes sad-to-happy MoodWhiplash.

* In "Denial" when [[spoiler:Kent Nelson dies and then sacrifices his ascension to save Kid Flash]]
* The end of "Failsafe" with [[spoiler:Miss Martian crying and the whole team traumatized]]

* In "Misplaced" when Zatanna's father sacrifices himself to be the new Dr. Fate so Nabu will release his daughter -- especially poignant given she was complaining earlier how overprotective Zatara is and how much she was wishing for a little space from him.
