* "Urashima-Taro" explores the very tragedy of the trope YearOutsideHourInside, and how a fun fantasy adventure can eat away precious time. Urashima didn't think nothing of it when he married his wife and joined her in the dragon palace. But when he returns to visit his family and hometown, he's devastated to see ''they're all gone''. And rather than return home where he can absorb it all, Urashima's tale ends rather sadly when he realizes he doesn't know how to return to the Dragon Palace, but his opening the box his wife told him not to open strips away his immortality.

** The story of the binding of the Fenris wolf. Because the Aesir can't just throw him away like they did with the other two children of Angrboda, they take the pup in and raise him as one of their own, with Tyr even becoming close friends with him. Eventually, though, they become nervous and start trying to restrain him, eventually leading them to tie him down for the rest of his life with Gleipnir, which causes Fenrir to bite Tyr's hand off. The image of [[https://imgur.com/i3IW6HP Tyr kneeling in front of his once-friend]], forced to betray him out of duty to his family, combined with Fenrir's defeated pose, is enough to make any dog-lover shed a tear. To quote a commenter, "He's just lying there, having been betrayed out of self-fulfilling fear, with his mouth wrapped around the one hand which dared to feed him." Ouch.
** Hel being cast into [[NamesTheSame Hel]] for the crime of having a prophecy about her. While the dialogue is comedic, seeing an infant alone in such a gloomy place with only ghosts for company would make any parent upset.
