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.
Even though one troper already knew the ending to Tokyo Babylon, she still cried.
You're not alone there.
And even before the ending, there's the chapter in which Subaru befriends a kindly old man whose daughter, with whom he lives along with her husband and their two children, considers him a burden. The chapter follows one heartwrenching moment with another, until finally the old man, hurrying to get some bananas for his daughter because she's gotten sick, is hit by a truck while crossing the street and dies in Subaru's arms, asking Subaru to take the bananas to his daughter to make her happy. Which Subaru does, still covered in the old man's blood, and he makes very clear to the old man's daughter how cruel she's been been to her father, causing her to break down in tears of regret and remorse, begging her father's forgiveness.
And even before that, Hashimoto. When we are introduced to her, her class are splitting up into groups for a trip, and she sits alone. When the teacher asks if someone can join up with her, no one wants to. For this troper, it hit too close to home.
