Saddest Anime death ever?

[*V Guyver]

Gaara, Asuma, 4th Hokage, Zabuza and Haku's deaths in Naruto. Death of "L" in Death Note. Death of Tekkaman Blade's Sister. Death of Fumio Fukimachi murikami, and Hayami. Death of Brook's Crew in one piece. Death of Chewbacca, Dearth Vader, and Dash Rendar's (apparant) Death (all were featured in visual novels, so I count them in).

Oh and I find nothing tragic about the demise of that punk from School Days, if anything it was a death befitting him. What's tragic about it is the girl who loved him in the end.

Maes Hughes...

i almost cried when his daughter was asking her mother at his funeral when would her dad be home because he promised her he would come back home

also the fact that he loved his daughter and every episode he would be in he would take a picture of his baby daughter and tell everyone how cute she is

[Larz Zahn]

I dont know if you would call it sad, but i did find treize kushrinada's death from Gundam Wing to be... touching. but not sad.

Tomoe from kenshin, you knew she dies but it was still a sad scene, Captain americas funeral actually brought a tear to my eye.

and when spidey died (before he came back) that serious ticked me off. and it was sad.

roy folker from robotech, now that was a sad death, i really liked that character, ben? not so much.

I would actually say that Trieze Kushrinada's death in the final episode's of Gundam Wing is more touching than sad. Since he was trying to lead the world into the teaching of the Sanc Kingdom. However the only way he could accomplish that was to fight fire with fire. In his case fight a war, and at the end he probabily saw that the world is goin to head towards the path of total Pacificism. So he had no reason to live on, which is why he probabily let Wu-Fei get the upper hand during their last fight and kill him.

If you look carefully at Trieze's character in Gundam Wing you can clear tell that he is not a villanious character, more of a I don't how to state his character actually. But he seems more simpatheic to the needs of the masses. So in a sense he is sort of like Gandi in a way, only he just did take Gandi's approach to peace. The same can be said for Zech's character also, but the main villan of the Gundam Wing francise has to be the White Fang, OZ, the Romafellor Foundation and Dekim Barton.

I've got to say the saddest Anime deaths so far I have seen has got to be in Kido Senshi Gundam 00. Lockon Stratos died seek revenge for his parents and sister, however Ali Al Saachez died!

Dude, Ali is alive, you see him drinking in the last scenes of the final episode of the season. The sad thing is, Lockon really didn't accomplish anything besides maybe destroying the Throne Gundam a little more. He should have just packed it in when he was ready to return Dynames. Wow, actually that makes it really sad, well more pathetic than sad. He was a cool character though, he had the most realistic flaws as well.

Yeah from robotech series. Roy Folker was a mad charcter and his death was sad. 1 off the mega classic Anime hits original Robotech. I love veritech fighter jets how they turn to robot mode.

Kenshin deaths where cool to me not sad lol. All the slicing and dicing.

i will tell you what was a creepy death tho, and that was shishios girl friend.

when shi shio and kenshin was fighting it out, and kenshin had the upperhand? she jumped in the way tryin to make kenshin stop. so shishio gutted her and stabbed kenshin, AND SHE LOVED HIM FOR IT!!!!

that just creeped me out.

Thanks for stating the obvious, Renegade! I know that Ali Al Sarcheez is still alive, I also know that Graham Acker is still alive also. It was a type-o, my system froze temperarly since I am downloading a torrent while typing. However I don't think we've seen the last of the Throne Zwei, I think Ali Al Sarcheez may have some managed to save the upper half of the Throne Zwei during his battle with LockOn Stratos. I can understand why he would have wanted to kill Sarcheez to begin with. LockOn lost both his parents and little sister at a young age, that alone would be enough to drive a person to seek vengence.

However I think LockOn's twin brother Lyle will make an appearence in the next season of Kido Senshi Gundam 00 as LockOn's replacement in Celestial Being, and pliot the remodelled Dynames.

But the one death that really gets to me is Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex - Episode 25 Barrage where the 3 remaining Tachikomas sacrifice themselves for Batou

Yes, I believe we can all agree that the Tachikomas self-less sacrifice for Batou was touching. Just like how they again sacrifice themselves again in 2nd GIG to protect the Section 9 team members from the nuke!

Man, I finally caught up to the episodes of Mobile suit Gundam 00. Lockon... Noooooeeess! To top it all off, the only likable member of Trinity, Johann, died too.

Oh, and I just remembered another one that tugged at me pretty good. It didn't make me cry since I rarely cry in anime. But it still hit me. Natsume's death in Generator Gawl.

Don't feel bad, they're all puppets anyway! (An appropriate use for Guyver 3!)

Yes! But they returned again in Solid State Society!

i dont really like sho's death by enzyme, i think its kinda...i dunno, it gives me kind of a sick feeling, i dont like it (the 12 part ova that is) i think its too gritty, i dont like it at all, thats what buggered up my head when i was a kid, to this day i can't watch the death of the guyver, i just dont like it...but its a really sad death, i seriously dont like the screaming at all

[*Kenji Murakami]

I think the scene was meant to do that. The Guyver OAV was also one of the most graphically violent Adaptations of the storyline. I think it could even compete with the Manga itself in that arena.

[Larz Zahn]

well... the Manga at that point was still kinda... underdeveloped graphic wise... the ova, i think that was the best artwork for the 12 ova. its complete use of fast action with violence really hit home in that battle... and when i first saw it i got so mad when i saw guyver3 watching behind a tree.

[*Kenji Murakami]

Yeah; Agito's a cold-blooded little viper. He's an interesting character, I won't deny that, but I really dislike him.

[Larz Zahn]

i just finished watching Gundam seed, and i really gotta say, i think nicols death was the hardest on me... i was surprised at the amount of deaths in the final battle but other than mu, they werent very touching at all. but nicol... that one really pricked my heart... and i never consedered me to be a overly sensitive guy either.

but for possible future deaths... if shizu will die, like she eventually should, i sure do hope that they do it right... i mean make it freakin sad people! its a loss of a loved character for petes sake! i wanna be blinded by my weeping tears!

[Guest THANOS]

i think when kato died in gantz it was pretty damn sad since he just escaped his abusive aunt and got an apartment for him and his little brother. He finally kills the alien and is ready to go home and the alien gets back up and stabs him. the scene changes to his little brother who is now left alone with nobody to look after him.

Yea I remember that scene. It was cool to me. 2%sad 98% cool. He should have doged that last stab attack by that dying green alien but oh well.

Gantz has some cool deaths. When they enter the temple and chick looses half her body by acid. That was nice haha. :lol:

[Guest OrangeCow]

spoilers for Monster

The death of the detective was saddening; he died the day before he was going to see his daughter for the first time in years.

[durendal]

There is one another I found on Code Geass. I really didn't expect the death of Shirley. After all her tribulations, and coming to terms with the truth about Lelouch, her death really made an impact.

[Guest Mystica_Caticus]

I havn't seen all of full metal alchemist but i think in the first 3 episodes, i never cried so much in my life. lol

also saddest near death experience that made me ball in an anime was in rumbling hearts when the main character was waiting for her boyfriend to come meet her at the train station and he was running late and he showed up and there were cars and blood and an ambulance there and you find out a car had lost control and it hit his girlfriend and she was taken to the hospital and they didn't know if she would live and she ended up being in a coma for several years. I bawl every time i watch that anime.

[*Kenji Murakami]

Nina from Fullmeta Alchemist.

Some people might not have seen that episode, though.

[LordSpleach]

Personally, I find the scene where Sho kills his father very sad, both the OVA and 2005 series. I get choked up while watching it all the time.
