Tear Jerker / Kikaider

• The ending of the anime. Then the ending of the OVA just to top themselves on sadness.
• The episode where Mitsuko reunites with her mother. And her mother's tearful suicide in front of her children, after realizing she really did care for them.
• The woman who is forever waiting for the man to come back to her, not realizing he's already dead.
• Rieko's death. And then Ichiro's. And Rei's. And Bijinder's.
• Jiro's speech in the last part of the OVA and the accompanying music is heartbreaking.
• For the live action series, the deaths of Gold Wolf, Jinbei, the two Spiny Anteaters and Saburo/Hakaider.
