Tear Jerker / Shinzo

• Yakumo disowning Mushra at the end of episode 3, "Web of Evil".
  Yakumo: Kutal, Sago, let's go! (coldly) Mushra is not with us anymore.
• Episode 4, "Day at the Park". Yakumo feeling badly about lashing out at Mushra in the previous episode.
  Yakumo: This is wrong we should really be making our way to Shinzo, we are wasting valuable time.
• Episode 5, Kiri is (understandably) terrified of Enterran's... or so it seems.
• In episode 6, The Reveal that Kiri was actually an Enterran spy. Yakumo takes news pretty hard.
  Kiri: All is ready, for the annihilation of the human girl.
  Yakumo: Kiri! What are you saying?! Where friends!
  Kiri: Ha! I'm not Kiri. I'm not even human you fool.
• Episode 9, Gyasa successfully managing to kill and card Sago and Kutal.
  • Kutal gets carded first, which sends Sago into a rage. Leading to Sago rushing Gyasa in an attempt to avenge him, only to suffer the same fate.
  • Gyasa's taunting of Kutal is extra cruel, by threatening the kittens. The moment also counts as Nightmare Fuel.
  Gyasa: Here kitty kitty come get the big bad lizard man before he, hurts your cute little kittens!
• In episode 11, Gyasa frees Yakumo from his Taken for Granite spell. But only so she can watch as he kills Mushrambo.
  • For her part, Yakumo actually blames herself for Mushrambo's (and by extension Mushra, Sago and Kutal's) suffering.
• Episode 16 "The Giant Robot", watching Sago get carded by King Nipper. The fact that it's quick, doesn't make it any less heartbreaking to watch.
  Yakumo: (horrified) Sago...
  King Nipper: So much for him.
  • A moment later, and Nipper twists the knife further. Revealing he has Kutal's Encard in his possession as well.
  • This is made all the sadder by the revelation in the next episode that Nipper was once a robot assistant of Yakumo's father... And he was reluctantly acting as a cruel king as part of a Batman Gambit to guide Yakumo toward her destiny.
• Episode 17, Yakumo and the others watching a holographic recording of the last time she spoke to her father.
  • The episode ends with Lord Caris killing Mushra.
• The death of Hakuba in episode 29 was surprisingly tearjerking, perhaps because we really weren't expecting it at all.
• For some, Yakumo was just The Scrappy, or at least a Damsel in Distress. Her death scene, however. Was this through and through, specially because of the genuine heartbreak that her friends experience as this happens.
  • The death of Yakumo's father. The fact that in spite of being sent back into the past, Mushra, Sago and Kutal are still unable to prevent it waves heavily on them is heartbreaking.
