History TearJerker / DarkwingDuck

[[AC: Time and Punishment]]

* Gosalyn singing "Little Girl Blue", the song her late Grandfather used to sing to her [[spoiler: which is also the code to activate a powerful machine]] and Darkwing's verse afterward, brought me to tears the first time I heard it in many years since the last I saw the episode.

* "Up, Up and Awry", when Gizmoduck and DW are stuck on a giant magnet and the former tells the latter that without his PoweredArmor, he's useless. Yes, it does lead to a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for DW followed by a happy ending, but it's still quite hearbreaking that [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales even after all this time,]] Fenton STILL doesn't think he's worth anything without the Gizmosuit.

* In the comics [[spoiler:DW actually throws Launchpad out of his house after LP accidentally leads Nega-Duck to their home. This is sad in itself as this action destroys the little family they made. They got better, but during the time apart, LP thought he was tossed out because DW lost a contest. That means that when DW kicked him out, he didn't even tell him WHY his friend was throwing him out of his home. And while we knew LP could crash at Scrooge's place it's not clear that DW knew, so for all he knew DW was throwing his friend out onto the street, homeless AND jobless. Yet LP [[EasilyForgiven seems to hold no real grudge]] and is just happy to be back with his family when they reunite.]]

** Gos and Launchpad returning from Darkwing's funeral
** Darkwing, who had died and is currently in a ghost form, saying goodbye to Morgana, Launchpad, and Gosalyn. Just the sight of not just Launchpad and Morgana crying, but Gos crying breaks your heart. [[spoiler: Of course, it turns out to be a dream]].

* From "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E1DarklyDawnsTheDuck Darkly Dawns the Duck]]", part 2, Gosalyn singing "Little Girl Blue", the song her late Grandfather used to sing to her [[spoiler: which is also the code to activate a powerful machine]] and Darkwing's verse afterward, brought me to tears the first time I heard it in many years since the last I saw the episode.
** The scene where Gosalyn is being taken by Bulba's men and D.W. is desperately trying to save her while shouting her name.
** [[spoiler: Darkwing's DisneyDeath]] at the end of the episode. Sure, seeing as how there's nearly 90 more episodes after this you know that everything's going to be okay, but that scene where Gosalyn's forlornly staring at [[spoiler: the spot where the Ramrod blew up with him on it]] from her room at the orphanage is heartbreaking.
** If you get a minute, you might wanna check [[http://www.toonzone.net/2015/01/christine-cavanaugh-actor-1963-2014-2/ this]] out. Now try listening to the lullaby without crying.

** Gos and Launchpad returning from Darkwing's funeral

** The entire episode is one big tear jerker for this troper. To see how Dark Warrior Duck has become so corrupted by his own sense of justice because the one person he loved (more than himself) was gone, and to see her return after all these years has a flood of bottled up emotions just flowing out. It was only worse when he felt betrayed by her near the end as well. I really felt for old DW.

* The ending of the Quackerjack story in the Darkwing Duck 2011 Annual is on equal with an ending of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. Quackerjack builds a ray to turn people into dolls.
