History TearJerker / DannyPhantom

* This one is non-canon, but doesn't contradict informations given by canon. On Website/DeviantArt, an artist called Sarapsys drew a little serie of one-page comics called ''As You Were'', each one centering around a ghost and explaining who they were and the way they died, often giving them HiddenDepths and a tragic death.[[note]]For instance, Skulker used to be an aristocrat who was never taken seriously because of his small size and was stuck into a loveless marriage with a woman who married him for his wealth. Therefore, he tried to prove himself by becoming the greatest hunter. One day, he went to Africa to try to hunt a predator and came accross a lion. In his own words, "the most perfect thing [he] had ever seen... and the last...". The last panel implies that he partially based the looks of his armor on the lion who killed him. (The beast's mane looks like Skulker's flaming hair and it has the same facial feature as his armor.)[[/note]] All of them are sad, but the saddest are probably the stories of [[http://sarapsys.deviantart.com/art/As-You-Were-Technus-s-Story-338530706 Technus]] [[spoiler:a {{Workaholic}} who died by accidentally electrocuting himself the day of his granddaughter's wedding, while testing the new invention he created and intended to offer to her as a present]] and [[http://sarapsys.deviantart.com/art/As-You-Were-Youngblood-s-Story-323193827 Youngblood]] [[spoiler:who committed suicide because he was crippled with debts and regretted his childhood where things were simpler, wishing he could have been a kid forever]].

** And also, his final scene in the last episode where [[spoiler: Jack leaves him to rot in space after realizing his best friend had "died away" twenty years ago]]. That's not the sad part; the sad part is when Vlad [[HeelRealization realized how much of an asshole he's been.]] He gives off quite possibly the most saddest face ever and flies away into emptiness that he's feared all his life. No words, no goofy comedy--just sad music as his expressions tell it all. * sniff*

-->'''[[FanNickname Jack Plasmius]] (lunging at Danny)''': SAY GOODBYE!
-->'''Danny''': (holds up newspaper reporting Vlad and Maddie's wedding)
-->'''Jack Plasmius''': ''Goodbye''... seems all I ever do is say goodbye.

* When Valerie breaks up with Danny at the end of ''Flirting With Disaster'' because she doesn't want him to get hurt because of her ghost hunting (not knowing that he is Danny Phantom, the ghost she hates so much). Danny's ''really'' good at looking like a kicked puppy.

* Dani. Created by the villain in order to try to defeat the hero, combined with the fact she probably feels at least somewhat similar to Dawn in ''Series/{{Buffy|the Vampire Slayer}}'', as well as her being voiced by AnnaSophiaRobb, who's played ''BreakTheCutie'' before, and you've got a Tearjerker.

-->'''Danny:''' [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone It's my fault, all my fault, what happened tonight. / I spoke out in anger and acted in spite. / I started this all when I picked that first fight. / But I'd give all I have to set everything right.]]

* Dani.

** When Danny realizes that he pretty much destroyed Christmas for Amity Park, and that he has no way to end the story he's trapped in, he goes through a minor HeroicBSOD and wanders the streets, alone, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone finally seeing just how bad he messed up]]. He takes a good look at all the damage he's done: destroying the toys, destroying the Christmas trees, basically ruining everyone's holiday, and it hits him ''hard''.

* The Christmas special has one of these when Danny destroys everyone's toys used to form the giant nutcracker.

* When Valerie breaks up with Danny at the end of ''Flirting With Disaster'' because she doesn't want him to get hurt because of her ghost hunting (not knowing that he is Danny Phantom, the ghost she hates so much). Danny's ''really'' good at looking like a kicked puppy.

* For some reason, in "Fanning the Flames", Ember's song is curiously wrenching. Mostly because the fandom consensus (despite the bad fic written about it) is that it's about the suicide of the ghost singing it, after either losing her virginity or finally committing herself to her boyfriend in a serious way only to be discarded.

* WesternAnimation/TheUltimateEnemy. [[spoiler:Both of Danny's friends, his parents, and his sister die in a tragic accident, which if blame is to be assigned, it would go to Danny ''for cheating on a test.'' Then, he's sent to live with his arch-enemy, where he tries to get rid of all the grief he's feeling. This leads to essentially ''killing himself'' along with practically everyone he could get to. Eventually, this evil Danny goes back in time to ''kill everyone he once loved'' only to ensure he'll still be just as evil in the future.]] And, the statues: [[spoiler: Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Maddie and Jack: "Gone but not forgotten." [[CrossesTheLineTwice Mr. Lancer: "Gone"]]

-->'''Jack Plasmius''': ''Goodbye''...seems all I ever do is say goodbye.

* In "Masters of All Time", Jack suffers the same accident that [[FreudianExcuse caused]] Vlad's canon state. However, he is even ''more'' sympathetic, because he isn't clever enough to use his ghost powers to become rich or manipulate his enemies. And then we have this:

* When Valerie breaks up with Danny at the end of ''Flirting With Disaster'' because she doesn't want him to get hurt because of her ghost hunting (not knowing that he is Danny Phantom, the ghost she hates so much). Danny looks so dejected.

* For some reason, in "Fanning the Flames", Ember's song is curiously wrenching.

** Likewise, freakin' Dark Danny's (Dan Phantom's) fate in TUE can be considered something of a TearJerker. He's doomed to be trapped in the Fenton Thermos (even though he's shown trying to escape..he's never seen again in the series), alone, with nothing but his insanity and his rather tragic memories to keep him company.
*** Though seeing he's a CompleteMonster TheSociopath with literally ''no'' human emotions, and last seen with a SlasherSmile, this troper finds it somewhat difficult to sympathize with him.
