* "Pride Tales" has the story of Tamamizu, a fox spirit who fell in love with a human girl, but was aware that marrying a fox spirit would put her in danger, so instead spent years pining, becoming her dearest friend and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy even helping her get engaged to a nice guy]]. In the end, the heartache is too much to bear, so they disappear into the night, leaving a note explaining themselves. Red's illustration shows the girl in near-tears as she reads the note and finds out the truth about her friend and how much they suffered.

* The video on the Oresteia is full of these, whether it be from Clytemnestra's BrokenTears once her eldest daughter is murdered by her husband, the sheer terror of Cassandra once she reaches Grecian shores and realizes that Clytemnestra is going to kill her, Clytemnestra's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone horror]] upon learning that her exiled son is "dead", or Orestes being ordered to murder his mother despite still loving her. It ''is'' a tragedy, after all.

* In the ''Literature/AllQuietOnTheWesternFront'' video, Red describes the beginning, interlude, and end of Paul's journey through the First World War in a much more solemn tone than usual-- which really drives home how serious the issue of war really is in both the book and in real life.

* In the second interpretation of the "Hou Yi and Chang'E" myth, neither of the freshly-mortal couple want to take the single dose of immortality elixir and regain their divinity, since this would mean abandoning their partner, as gods cannot interfere with mortals. Then, one of Hou Yi's apprentices hears of the elixir, and attacks Chang'E while Hou Yi is away. Chang'E, not wanting this [[ImmortalityImmorality selfish man to attain immortality]], sacrifices her happiness by drinking it instead, becoming a goddess once again. She goes to the moon, closer to earth than heaven, but they can still never see each other again. Even though this is the [[BittersweetEnding "good ending", it isn't exactly cheerful]], as Hou Yi, still mortal, eventually dies, leaving Chang'E alone on the moon.

* Sun Wukong being nearly burned to death by the True Fire of Samādhi wielded by Red Boy, the son of the Bull Demon King, in Journey to the West Part 6. Seeing the invincible Monkey King being consumed by ethereal blue fire and faced with one of the few things in existence that could ''actually kill him'' is simultaneously disheartening and terrifying. Even the celestial army sent to aid them - the same heaven that Wukong wrecked, mind - is thrown into disarray by his fall. Sandy's horrified face as he holds Wukong's unconscious body is sad as well.
** Showing that he ''has'' undergone character growth is Wukong's reaction to his failure. The warrior who at the beginning of the journey impulsively abandoned Tripitaka without a second thought, and had to be forced to stay, is more distraught over not being able to rescue his mortal friend ''than over the fact that he almost died''. Even when so injured he can barely move, let alone fight, he does his best to push past the pain and exhaustion to aid his allies with what strength he has left.
** If you take into account that Sun Wukong is representative of the human mind, it's basically [[DespairEventHorizon a graphic depiction of extreme depression]].
* In the ''Literature/AllQuietOnTheWesternFront'' video, Red describes the beginning, interlude, and end of Paul's journey through the First World War in a much more solemn tone than usual-- which really drives home how serious the issue of war really is in both the book and in real life.
