Tear Jerker / The Asterisk War

Go To

  • Ayato losing his sister Haruka when he was young and discovering that she was preserved for a potential experiment with Hilda. Anyone who's lost a sibling will know his sorrow.
  • Ayato learning about Kirin's predicament after her father Seijirou was detained when the latter killed an armed robber in self defense. It seemed that she was too frightened of her uncle Kouichiro to disobey after guessing second thoughts about her being used as nothing more than a pawn.
  • The world being driven into poverty thanks to the IEF, especially Julis's homeland. For those who have followed the series, hearing about it gives the world a post-apocalyptic feel outside of Asterisk.
  • Hilda's experiments on Orphelia to turn her into a Strega.
  • Claudia's reunion with her Well-Intentioned Extremist father Nicolas. He had Gustave Marlowe attack Julis of all characters out of desperation to have Claudia reconsider her participation in the Gryps Festa Unfortunately, Claudia won't reconsider her decision to participate in the Festa and leaves her father, but not before thanking him for all that he's done for her. Ouch.
