Let me get this out of the way; while Death Battle does have a number of Tear Jerker moments, they are never the focal point in any way, even from a thematic standpoint. My criticism for why sprites don't work in this situation is something I still hold and I'm going to give a
on both images from post 15 simply because from a layman's standpoint, there's nothing to suggest those scenes as tear-jerking without context. For all I know, Tetsuo getting shot in the head might be Nightmare Fuel and Gut's dying pose honestly means nothing as, without context, it's just a '90s Anti-Hero showing a grim expression, nothing else.
Finally, because I don't think we're going to be able to find a good image to represent a Tear Jerker in Death Battle, I'm going for a BUPKIS too.
WHERE IS KRYPTO, I mean, WHERE IS THE DOG!!!

Yeah, frankly the spoiler concerns mean nothing to me since I don't care enough about Death Battle, but I don't find any of the images sad enough. Some are more horrifying than tragic.
