History TearJerker / YourTurnToDie

* In Chapter 3-1b, when Kurumada realizes that Keiji is charging the spare Midori head, he falls to the ground and starts crawling toward him. At first he seems aggressive, even pointing out that his injuries were because Keiji got trapped in the coffin... but eventually he starts tearfully pleading with him to not forsake the other Dummies.
* You spend Chapter 3 getting to know the Dummies and bonding with them. By the end of Chapter 3-1b, it is only possible for [[SoleSurvivor one]] of them to left alive, and even then, their battery goes out shortly after the end of the banquet.

--->'''Kanna:''' "I... Kanna... killed her sister...! Her sister was frantically trying to help! But Kanna's an idiot... She didn't listen...!"

** Kurumada also gets special mention as he was ''this'' close to actually passing his trial, but got stuck with the button right in arm's reach. See him go from threatening his captors to the realization he's going to be crushed to death is hard to watch.
** Hayasaka's own video is troubling to watch with the man pleading for his life and that all he wants is to just go home. When he realized he's screwed, he vows to curse both the organization and Sara's name from hell.

** If you ''do'' vote for Sou, he laughs weakly and says that's just fine with him and muses that Sara hated him enough to want to kill him. Sara's [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness eyes lose their shine]] and she gives a half-hearted agreement, followed by him laughing.

* Earlier in 3-1A if Kanna had been voted for at her request, Sou attempts to cover up his pain by claiming that he was disappointed that he couldn't continue to manipulate her and that she would have chosen him to escape the Death Game together. Keiji quickly points out the flaw in this logic, deducing that if Kanna DID get the majority vote and was actually The Sacrifice as he believed, she would have saved Sara and not him. This causes Sou's facade to temporarily shatter and proclaim he was well aware of this since the beginning... and yet he still wanted to save her. Keiji points out that Sou must hate them for making his efforts all in vain to which he bitterly comments that they need to move forward.

* [[spoiler:In 3-1A, the real Sou Hiyori taunts Keiji by revealing that Sou manipulated Keiji into shooting the policeman that Keiji had looked up to since he was child. Constantly calm, dependable Keiji ''snaps'' at this revelation and in a state of absolute fury vows to kill Sou. It's shocking to see. And if that wasn't bad enough, even if Keiji loses to Sou, Sara can try to save Keiji by sacrificing herself and taking the "tag" from Keiji, only for Keiji to refuse with a smile - even in his rage and despair, Keiji's still concerned for Sara.]]

* The Victim Videos are a mix between this and NightmareFuel.

** Perhaps the worst part isn't just that they died, but that most of them died without ever knowing why they were there in the first place.

* If you don't vote for Nao and save her from the Sacrifice card, the game parallels Joe's death in giving you a little minigame--this time not to save her, but to spare her the agony of her execution method by killing her instantly with a switch. But Nao's hysterical begging not to die makes it impossible for the player (and Sara) to press the switch, [[NightmareFuel even as Nao's waist is being slowly crushed by a metal vice.]] It's especially cruel given that Sara is desperate not to make the same mistake she made with Joe, but still can't do it.

* The first named ending of the game: Massacre. In order to obtain this ending, Sara must vote for Nao, ''knowing'' that she has the Sacrifice Card and is doomed to die otherwise... but that this entails sacrificing ''everybody else''. Everyone else's reactions are quite heart-breaking - Gin, Q-taro, and Reko/Alice can't believe [[EtTuBrute you betrayed them while Kanna is tearful yet accepting. Keiji, however, is silent in disbelief with his horrified expression saying it all. Sou simply tells Keiji, "This is reality."

* The first death, with how the victim's last action is to [[spoiler:push Nao away so she doesn't burn herself trying to get the collar off his neck]]. In the aftermath, Sue Miley celebrates by mocking Kanna [[BringMyBrownPants for wetting herself]] and calling her a "sister-killer," punching hard on that [[FailureToSaveMurder deep-rooted fear]] of hers.
** Twisting the knife further is the group discovering just a little too late that [[spoiler:nobody had to die in the Test Vote. If the vote had tied, with everyone voting for themselves, they all could have made it out alive]].
** As if ''that'' isn't bad enough, the Main Trial brings with it the revelation that [[spoiler:Mishima convinced Nao to vote for him, then voted for himself as well to ensure she wouldn't end up with the most. A noble, but ultimately SenselessSacrifice that left her mentally scarred by his demise]]...
* Perhaps the first true GutPunch of the game comes at the climax of the first Main Game, when it's revealed that [[spoiler:Joe is the Sacrifice]]. It's not just the cruelty of ''how'' they die, but the fact that [[spoiler:Sue Miley dangles false hope in front of Sara in the form of a special button, presenting her -- and the player -- with a MiniGame to try and keep him alive. But all you're ''truly'' doing is prolonging his suffering]]...
** The execution ends with [[spoiler:Keiji having to step in and stop Sara from jamming on the button even after Joe's already succumbed to his wounds]].
* [[spoiler:Satou Kai]] choosing to be DefiantToTheEnd, spending their last moments [[spoiler:[[BetterToDieThanBeKilled slitting their wrists]] and encouraging the others to keep resisting their captors to the best of their ability]].
** Before that, however, comes their tearful reaction when they realize that the others are likely about to vote for them to die and beg for them to target [[spoiler:the sneering Sou]] instead, who [[KickTheDog laughs and mocks their efforts]], even cheerfully bidding them farewell. After the vote is finalized, they can only bow their head, resigned to their fate.
