Tear Jerker / Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger

• Burai's death, to the point even Dragon Caesar misses him. Kai's death may also qualify.
• A late episode when the imitation Zyurangers appear may count. For the first time in Sentai, rather than creating evil imitations for solely fighting the Sentai, this one is used to make Zyurangers look like bad guys, and it shows when a mother slapped Mei right on the face when she's just helping a kid, followed by the people stoning them, and chasing them in anger, even the little kids turned against them. Hell, to hammer it home, aside of the lamentations of the heroes about being betrayed by humanity p, we're also given with the second time Mei is visibly crying (the first time is when Burai died). Of course, by the end they came back to life, but before that, it was a pretty powerful scene too.
• Most of Episode 11: A group of kids find a magic lamp and become friends with the Monster of the Week, Djinn. It doesn't last long, as Bandora wants Djinn's far more powerful magic to herself, so she destroys Djinn's magical lamp and renders him powerless, forcing the kids and the Zyurangers to find its pieces to save their new friend. Bandora then pours salt on the wound and makes a new lamp for Djinn, forcing him to be evil and ordering him to kill his friends. The Zyurangers manage to rebuild the original lamp and save Djinn, but the kids ultimately decide it's better to seal the lamp away, so Bandora won't hurt Djinn or them any more. The scene where they say goodbye to each other is heart-wrenching.
• Bandora's sobbing fit when Kai dies for the second time.
