1* During the climax of the Nazi Zombie Chef fight, you break him out of his brainwashing and he proudly announces he's back. In response, Clyde [[YankTheDogsChain sets him on fire and forces him to suicide rush New Kid]], forcing them to put Chef out of his misery.
2** Counter his "Hello Children" attack, and he'll spend a whole turn with a ThousandYardStare and a horrified expression.
3* In a way, Butters and all of the places he mentioned he got beat up or bullied in some shape or form and just says it so casually.
4* During the boss fight against Butters if you choose to side with Kyle's elves, delivering the final blow has him depressingly say that [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer nobody likes him]].
5** On top of that, the description for Butters' hammer states: "You struck down the first friend you ever made in South Park. Then again, it was [[ButtMonkey Butters.]]" That doesn't exactly help much, depending on if you found it funny or not.
6** Butters even cries when you defeat him. It's ''heartbreaking''.
7** Especially after he takes his already adorable ApologeticAttacker attitude to the next level by assuring you throughout the fight that no matter what happens, it's just a game and you're still friends out of it.
8** Someone created [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_k0v91_4FA a parody]] of this scene and Ryuuko's brainwashing from ''Anime/KillLaKill''. He might have actually made it worse.
9** Similarly, when you defeat Kyle, he either says "Bury me at my base", or, like Butters, sob pitifully.
10** If you sided with Cartman instead, you'll have to fight Stan, who will be soon joined by his dog, Sparky. If you defeat Sparky, Stan will angrily yell out "No! NO NO NO NO NO!" and gains attack up for the rest of the fight.
11* During the assault on Clyde's castle, one of his henchmen beats up Ike when he tries to lower a ladder, making Ike cry. Not only is this kid WAY bigger than Ike, he's bigger than all of the other kids, he looks like one of the sixth graders for gods sake! Which makes it extra satisfying to blow him up with Dragonshout [[TheDogBitesBack and watch Ike kick the shit out him while he's down]].
12* [[NervousWreck Tweek]] gets a little ''too'' into the game during the battle at the school. Witnessing several of his friends "dying" leaves him with a ThousandYardStare and tears in his eyes.
13* The fact that you're forced to fight someone whom you thought was your friend and kill them multiple times is a tearjerker in and of itself.
