Context TearJerker / Shinzo

Go To

1* Yakumo disowning Mushra at the end of episode 3, "Web of Evil".
2--> '''Yakumo''': Kutal, Sago, let's go! (''coldly'') Mushra is not with us anymore.
3* Episode 4, "Day at the Park". Yakumo feeling badly about lashing out at Mushra in the previous episode.
4--> '''Yakumo''': This is wrong we should really be making our way to Shinzo, we are wasting valuable time.
5* Episode 5, Kiri is (understandably) terrified of Enterran's... [[spoiler: or so it seems.]]
6* In episode 6, TheReveal that Kiri was actually [[spoiler: an Enterran spy]]. Yakumo takes news pretty hard.
7--> '''Kiri''': All is ready, [[spoiler: for the annihilation of the human girl]].
8--> '''Yakumo''': Kiri! What are you saying?! Where friends!
9--> '''Kiri''': Ha! [[spoiler: I'm not Kiri. I'm not even human you fool]].
10* Episode 9, Gyasa successfully managing to kill and card Sago and Kutal.
11** Kutal gets carded first, which sends Sago into a rage. Leading to Sago rushing Gyasa in an attempt to avenge him, only to suffer the same fate.
12** Gyasa's taunting of Kutal is extra cruel, [[WouldHurtAChild by threatening the kittens]]. The moment also counts as NightmareFuel.
13--> '''Gyasa''': Here kitty kitty come get the big bad lizard man before he, hurts your cute little kittens!
14* In episode 11, Gyasa frees Yakumo from his TakenForGranite spell. [[ForcedToWatch But only so she can watch as he kills Mushrambo]].
15** For her part, Yakumo actually blames herself for Mushrambo's (and by extension Mushra, Sago and Kutal's) suffering.
16* Episode 16 "The Giant Robot", watching Sago get carded by King Nipper. The fact that it's quick, doesn't make it any less heartbreaking to watch.
17--> '''Yakumo''': (''horrified'') Sago...
18--> '''King Nipper''': So much for him.
19** A moment later, and Nipper twists the knife further. Revealing he has Kutal's Encard in his possession as well.
20** This is made all the sadder by the revelation in the next episode that [[spoiler: Nipper was once a robot assistant of Yakumo's father... And he was reluctantly acting as a cruel king as part of a BatmanGambit to guide Yakumo toward her destiny.]]
21* Episode 17, Yakumo and the others watching a holographic recording of the last time she spoke to her father.
22** The episode ends with Lord Caris [[spoiler: killing Mushra]].
23* The death of [[spoiler: Hakuba]] in episode 29 was surprisingly tearjerking, perhaps because we really ''weren't'' expecting it at all.
24* For some, Yakumo was just TheScrappy, or at least a DamselInDistress. [[spoiler: Her death scene]], however. Was this through and through, specially because of the genuine heartbreak that her friends experience as this happens.
