The Vision of Escaflowne has quite a few Tear Jerker moments...
- The cat girls and Folken, Van in the barn dealing with Hitomi and Allen, and the epic final battle followed by Van and Hitomi having to part and never see each other again, because without the pendant she can never return to Gaia.
- But then Hitomi sees a vision of Van watching from afar—which if you remember is because they can still see each other as long as they both wish for it.
- Dilandau's descent into further insanity, especially in his only scene in episode 16. The German dubbed version of it has extremely realistic
, tortured screaming. - Episode 17. The song "Perfect World" and Allen's talk with his father about life...
- The Vision of Escaflowne had a few such scenes revolving around Van and Hitomi.
- Or the one with Allen and his Dead All Along Disappeared Dad.
- Even worse, Jajuka's death and his flashbacks to the day when he was separated of his former charge Selena... who would soon become Dilandau.
- The look on Van's face when he witnesses Allen kissing Hitomi, it's hard not to feel sorry for him, his face is the expression of a kicked puppy.
- The look on Hitomi and Van's faces when they witness Folken's death. After he became such a nice guy, to see his lifeless body falling to the ground, and seeing Van finally screaming "BROTHER!" in a sad tone, without any anger or hate, hurts a lot.
- The cat girls' death. Their past was pretty sad as well. Hitomi tried so hard to be kind to them and then they died.
