Tear Jerker / Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ

Go To

  • Not even ZZ is free of tear jerkers, despite its beginnings. Cecilia's Heroic Sacrifice, which her old boyfriend Torres never knew about since Judau, who did know, didn't have the heart to tell him? Leina's fiery "death" and Judau's creepy Heroic BSoD after that? Emily's death and the destruction of the La Vie En Rose? Hayato's Heroic Sacrifice? Princess Sarasa's death, which emotionally crushes her boyfriend Mondo? Elpeo Puru's pointless and tragic death trying to protect the only true family she knew? Puru Two's death after her Heel–Face Turn?
    • Gundam Evolve has retconned Puru Two's death. Too bad everyone else that died in the series, including Sarasa, is gone for good. Plus, the whole thing with Masai's heart-wrenching considering how fighting the Gundams was the only thing she could do to honor her brother's death and after her Gelgoog got destroyed she was left in a catatonic state.
    • The pilot in Evolve is actually another Puru clone. Considering Gundam Unicorn features a grown-up clone too, and they weren't all shown to be destroyed at the end of ZZ.
  • Hell, even Glemy's is a little sad, considering it's Roux who kills him.
    Roux: I'll never forget that you loved me...
  • Watching Haman Kahn realize that Judau is right, and promptly choosing to commit suicide over the sheer enormity of her Heel Realization.
  • While Kamille is shown to be recuperating from being brain damaged by Scirocco at the end of Zeta, it's utterly painful seeing him reduced to a barely functional shell of his former self for much of the time. It's also implied as well that his Newtype strength is what's keeping him from becoming a catatonic vegetable altogether.
