Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
This troper never really cared about Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin, but John's death brought her closer to tears than any other scene in the series. This troper wanted to reach through the screen, tear out Hougen's intestines and see how he liked it!
I thought both series were chock full of tear-jerker character deaths. It's weird how a very violent and gory talking-dog anime would have that sorta effect on anyone. I was also a bit teary-eyed when Bat and Kite's lives were spared and you see them shed tears.
Jerome's death in the anime. You don't learn about it until after the fact, but this troper and all her friends wept over him, as he was their favorite character, not to mention he had one of the more touching backstories/subplots. Weed imagining him returning at the end of the final episode is a particularly cruel tease.
What about GB's death in the manga? Really, I think that beats every other scene in the entire series. GB dying in his godson's arms after giving his life to save him from the Hybrid Bear... it's pretty damn depressing, especially since it was just around that time when GB was beginning to get over his cowardice and realize his full potential. That poor sweet dog...
Quite a few. Of the more notable, Teru's father's death.
