History TearJerker / MegaMan

** And then when Mega Man does put him down, Spark Man [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone tearfully apologises]] and assures his opponent that he never would have hurt Roll or Light, stating that ''"no one should ever have to lose their siblings"''.

* The scene in Issue 44 where [[spoiler: Spark Man [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/9/9a/HANDS.png/revision/latest?cb=20141229165504 breaks down in tears]] over his fallen brothers]] is just downright heartwrenching.

* The Short Circuit of of issue #55 in which Mega Man characters from virtually all media (including the Ruby-Spears cartoon and Mega Man from ''CaptainNTheGameMaster'') and games (save ''Battle Network'') join in on giving the comic a send off via singing the Turtles' ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6Yr-vNBgvE We'll Meet Again]]''. It's very sweet as it is silly.

If you did not [[spoiler: want to give the poor electricity-themed bot a hug]] after that, then you have no heart.

* After Megaman saves them, [[spoiler:half of the Robot Masters wouldn't be content with a new life. So, by law, they are shut down. Rock and Roll are both in tears at this, and Dr. Light tells them that one can't save everybody, and not everybody wants to be saved.]]

* When Mega Man mentions that [[spoiler:Wily was killed by falling debris after the fight with Gamma]], Light looks absolutely ''devastated''. Even after Wily attempted to conquer the world at least four times, tried to kill one of his children after taking one of them, and even [[spoiler:destroyed his home and laboratory purely out of spite]], Light was still [[AlasPoorVillain saddened]] by [[spoiler:Wily's apparent death]]. It's obvious that before all of this, they were not only coworkers, but great friends...
** Similarly, his [[BrokenTears breakdown]] upon Mega Man returning home and finding out that Wily had betrayed Light and taken Gamma after threatening to murder Roll-

[[PapaWolf I couldn't let him hurt my children!]] I already lost ''[[FlawedPrototype one]]'' to him, I can't lose any more! No! I'll just lose my Robot Masters! And Gamma! And my designs! And my hopes and dreams! '''AND THE WORLD CAN PAY THE PRICE!''' ...''[[EvilFormerFriend he was my friend]]''. I trusted him. Because there is good in everyone. Isn't there? [[DespairEventHorizon Am I ''that'' deluded..?]]

* Comparing Dr. Wily between the standard universe and his alternative in VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork. In the latter, he eventually manages to put his rivalry and envy behind him and goes on to help the world. In the former, he goes completely off his rocker and tries to spell doom for the world for centuries after his death. It'd be sad and pathetic if it didn't cost billions of people their lives.
** While true in the American Battle Network, in the Japanese version Wily was unrepentant and died with his hatred at the end of ''6''.
*** That's also pretty sad.

[[http://www.bumbleking.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7767&p=421509#p421416 If not for the crossover with Sonic]] Archie would have canceled the Mega Man comic due to low sales.

* Another one comes in the confrontation with Needle Man. After Mega Man breaks sequence a bit by copying Needle Cannon before beating the Master and tries to use it on him, Needle Man is not just angry, but ''mortified'' that he'd do that. When Rock insists that he doesn't want to hurt him or his brothers and asks why, we get the heartrending response; He simply can't. Mega Man's vague programming of "help people" allows him to be more than what he was intended, while the 3 Masters have one very specific goal they don't have the leisure of defying without Copy Robot like the first generation of Masters did. Something Needle Man in particular very clearly doesn't like. The fight ends with Mega Man solemnly putting a Gemini Laser right between Needle Man's eyes. ''[[MercyKill At his request.]]''

* ''10'' gets this with [[spoiler:Roll giving her medicine to Mega Man to save him, the music in the scene is 8-Bit as well, but it still makes you feel sad, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment have a warmer heart]], and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge the sudden rage to rip Wily apart]].]]

* The ending of ''3'', where Mega Man learns of the existence of his long lost brother Proto Man, and he looks up at the sky and sees Proto Man's face.

** [[spoiler: Wily's apology. He sounds ''sincere'']].
** [[spoiler: Of course, his following ''fifteen'' attempts to take over the world cast doubt onto his honesty]].
** How about [[spoiler: Fire Man's death? "Don't you want... a peaceful world?"]]
** [[spoiler: Wily's tormenting of Roll]].

* Issue 28 of the comic. Roll takes a Charged Shot fired by Break Man meant for the more armored Mega Man. The reactions of Rock, Cut Man, Guts Man and Bomb Man are bad enough...but you actually see through Blues' helmet and see him looking on in horror. [[spoiler:A fan theory is that he remembers the moment in ''Worlds Collide'' when Roll repaired and healed him.]]
* In issue #35 of the comic, Break Man goes to talk to Tempo about the meaning of "family" and dealing with the whole DeathOfPersonality that occurs when a Robot Master's personality core has to be repaired/replaced. The whole scene is emotional due to the subject matter and the full disclosure of just how ''different'' Tempo is after her emotions were restored. What takes the cake however is when asked if he simply cannot bring himself to forgive Dr. Light over a what if, Break Man finally snaps and screams "'''HE REPLACED ME!'''" Oh Blues...

** How about [[spoiler: Fire Man's death? "Don't you want...a peaceful world?"]]

** Still doesn't change the fact that SOMETHING happens to them. And in the case of the 'bots, the peaceful, old-age ending is almost more tragic. Imagine a bunch of semi-sentient beings just...falling into disrepair and ceasing to function, all because their creator has died and is no longer there to keep them up. These are beings who canonically and perpetually have the mindsets of children, and therefore will have only a vague idea of what's happening to them. That's not even accounting for Protoman's apparent fate resulting from his unstable core...

!VideoGame/MegaMan
* It's never been depicted in-canon, but you ''know'' how the original ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' series ''has'' to end, don't you?

** That, or he ends up dying at the hands of his past self late in his life, when he gets kidnapped by a time-traveling Wily and turned into Quint, from the Game Boy version of ''MegaManII''. Assuming YouCantFightFate, this means that at some point in the future, no matter what he does or how hard he fights against Wily, at some point Wily ''will'' win against Mega Man. But he won't destroy or scrap him. No, he'll [[FateWorseThanDeath reprogram him to fight for Wily]]. He will then go back to the past, only to die at the hands of his "younger" self.

* ''10'' gets this with [[spoiler:Roll giving her medicine to Mega Man to save him, the music in the scene is 8-Bit as well, but it still makes you feel sad, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming have a warmer heart]], and [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge the sudden rage to rip Wily apart]].]]

*** Which makes one wonder if one day the government will get rid of Megaman...

* The [[WesternAnimation/MegaMan Ruby-Spears cartoon]] had this too. Near the end of "Bro Bots", Mega Man saves Proto Man's life during their fight, despite the latter betraying him and his family after [[HeelFaceMole pretending to be good]]. After a corny line, Proto Man grows serious and asks if he's getting sentimental. Mega responds that he owed Proto for telling him about the scrambler chip he'd placed on him, and now they were even. Then sad music starts playing as Protoman leaves to rejoin Wily.
** Not only that, but Protoman punched through a glass window as he made his escape. The shards became embedded in the now-cooling lava, and you saw Mega Man in their reflection. Not moving to stop Protoman. Just sitting there, staring at where his brother left...

--->'''Mega Man: *bitterly*''' Yeah... until next time, bro.

** After playing ''Mega Man 10'', the scene in "Robosaur Park" with Mega and Roll arguing over who should take the antidote becomes a lot sadder. In both scenarios, Roll gives the same reason that Mega Man should take it. She couldn't stop Wily. He could.

** How about [[spoiler: Fireman's death? "Don't you want... a peaceful world?"]]

** Tempo and her creator Dr. LaLinde's heart to heart after Blues storms off seriously tugs at your heart.
