It's even a tear jerker ''in story'', as we see the guy [[VillainousBSOD horribly break down while speaking]], then everyone is stunned and poor Keiko is moved to tears (pictured above!).

** And of course, the ENTIRE first half of the episode has been spent showing us what a dick Yusuke was. He did NOTHING to make us care all that much for him up to the point when he saved that kid whatsoever, and yet it STILL manages to tear your heart right out when you realize just how much he meant to those around him. It's tearjerking, but at the same time it's a punch to the guy to anyone who's ever felt like their life had no meaning - a feeling everyone has had once or twice.

''YuYuHakusho'' has a great deal of TearJerker moments. What do you expect from a show that deals with the afterlife, and [[DeathByOriginStory begins with the hero being a corpse]]?

* Allow us to tell you what happens at Yusuke's wake in the first episode:
** Keiko is crying. Even though Yusuke was a JerkAss and a total pervert to her, she considered him her best friend.
** Kuwabara comes in screaming HowDareYouDieOnMe and saying he's TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou. He breaks down and has to be dragged out blubbering by his toadies.
** Then comes the school principal, who comes in and laments the waste of potential that Yusuke's life, as it has closed at that point, has come to represent.
** It's at that point that Atsuko, Yusuke's mother, breaks her HeroicBSOC and joins in the water works.
** Then the kid and his mother come in. Both pray before Yusuke's casket and the kid thanks him. The real jerker comes afterward. The little kid asks his mom if he can play with Yusuke tomorrow, apparently having no grasp yet that he's not coming back. (Obviously this proves untrue, but no one knows that yet.)



* For that matter, Yusuke's wake in the first episode, where Yusuke (and the audience) finally sees what he meant to the people around him. Especially Kuwabara's (him ''again?'') HowDareYouDieOnMe moment.
** Only topped by Atsuko's heartbreaking HeroicBSOD ''and'' when the little child's mother can't bring herself to tell her son that Yuusuke will not be able to play with him again.

* Kurama's ShootTheDog moment with Amanuma ([[spoiler:Gamemaster]]). Kurama was left with only two options, either win the game which will result in the death of a little kid, or intentionally lose and allow [[BigBad Sensui]] to have his way. There was no TakeAThirdOption and too much was at stake, so Kurama was forced to ''intentionally'' psyche Amanuma out, letting him know that he's going to die if he loses and there's no way out of it. The viewer is then treated 10 heartwrenching minutes of seeing the kid completely breakdown, begging for his life despite knowing full and well that there's no escape. Damn.

** For this troper, the truly heartwrenching part of that scene is Yusuke trying to prevent it, and getting thrown around like a rag doll, pressed into the ground, and given a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech for his efforts.

* Don't forget Kuwabara's anguish over [[spoiler: Yusuke choosing to die by Sensui's hands, in the hopes that his friends would gain enough power to finish Sensui in his place. All topped off by Yusuke looking at his friends one last time, with a smile, knowing he'd never see them again]]. [[spoiler: He gets better, but even knowing that doesn't stop the tears]].
