Touching Character Deaths (SPOILERRIFFIC!)

[Nathander]

Hughes death in FMA was one of the most touching moments at the series, and gave one of the best scenes of who Roy really was at his funeral. It's a clear, blue day out there, and all of a sudden...

Roy (crying): Oh, look, water...it must be raining...

Another touching death was Alice Elliot's at the end of the game Shadow Hearts. It's especially poignant when you see all she did for the main character.

There were also several touching deaths at the end of the Xenosaga series, including

Nigredo (Gaignun Kukai), Canaan, chaos, KOS-MOS, and Jin

So far, it's been Harry Osbourne/New Goblin from Spider-Man 3 for me.

It was quite sad how he died.

Dr. Nick got hit by a shard of the dome's glass

in The Simpsons Movie.

"Goodbye everybody...!"

Hm...well, as others have mentioned, Mufasa's death in The Lion King really gets me, even though I've seen the movie a million times now. It was just so heart-breakingly sad...poor innocent Simba. ;_;

And in One Piece, though there's plenty of heart-wrenching death scenes in this anime, one that really got to me was Spoiler Below

the Going Merry's death. Good God, that whole scene was played off so well, it had me bawling. Especially Luffy's "MEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRYYYYYY!" at the end. ;~;

FamoKrishina is right in that Mufasa's death in TLK was pretty sad. I didn't cry, but it just kinda gets you.

I'm gonna betray my true geek nature here and mention two deaths that kinda hit me. * thumps heart for a beat *

In Star Trek 2: The Warth of Khan, the whole scene between Shatner and Nimoy (no spoiler tags because it's such an old film-- early 80's-- so i guess a lot of people have seen it. If not, sorry for that!) here was so great and well-acted. (Yeah, I know, well-acted and Shatner tend to contradict sometimes, but it's true.)

The other was in Star Trek Nemesis when Spoiler Below

Data sacrificed his life to save Picard and the Enterprise

. It was so good and... Shakespearian. I got choked up and then I bawled like a baby for fifteen minutes. (Thankfully, I was in my room watchingit on DVD and my parents were downstairs. Me crying like that would have freaked them out.)

See why I call myself a nut job?

[BabyCharmander]

Littlefoot's mother's death in The Land Before Time. That scene brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it...

I'm also kindof surprised. When I was little I was sad about Littlefoot's mother's death, but then when I went and watched The Lion King, Mufasa's death didn't upset me as much. It wasn't until I watched the movie THIS YEAR that I realized how heartbreaking that whole scene was...

OH GEEZ. I had actually been spoiled for that on some joke website (made me SO mad...) but that scene still ripped my heart to shreds. Spoiler Below

I read it in the manga first. When I saw the Merry come back to save the Strawhats I began to doubt the stuff I had heard and actually believed that Merry might be all right. Then when she snapped in half... I just sat there, staring at the screen in disbelief. Then I SOBBED when I read the rest of the chapter. The anime episode of it was heartbreaking as well, but I guess the manga affected me the most 'cuz I read it first.

One Piece is the ONLY series that makes you cry about the death of a CARAVEL.

[Imaginary Light]

(I don't really need to put spoiler tags around this because the movie's been out for a couple years.)

Edward Bloom in Big Fish. I mean...okay, it was kinda obvious he was going to die before the movie ended. And even though he was finally happy when he died...okay, I balled my eyes out for the last 20 minutes of the movie the first time I saw it. I'm such a baby
