When Naruto was sitting on the bench thinking about Jirah and with 2 popsicles and all of that I was tearing up


firedancer323

But by the time they re-cap that scene 30 times it looses its edge


stsalex341

Nah. It still tears me up to this day. Then again I still tear up every time I see Naruto on the swing so maybe it's just me.


herecomesurmom

*cue sadness and sorrow*


Tough_Dig_7095

The swing has more screen time than Tenten.


Chochahair

Shed so many tears watching naruto. Got a massive poster of naruto n jiraiya next to my bed ❤️


Avengion619

Jiraiya’s spirit watches you while you sleep pervy sage style


Chochahair

i literally jus turned off lights to go to sleep n his eyes are literally pointed at my pillow 😂👍🏽 be safe bro


mi_primer_dia

I agree. I felt like that whole episode was of him just wandering on and seeming lost. You got to see everyone else's reaction to Jiraiya's death other than the main one everyone wanted to see. And then nothing really hit until it's just him sitting on the bench and the popsicles are just melting and flash to his face and he's just crying his eyes out. 😥


ShadowlordZ-595

I really like that scene but then I remember that Jiraiya mugged Naruto of all his life savings and also never told him that he was his godfather so I just stare with a blank face everytime I see it.


FoundPieces222

I just watched that scene awhile ago!


Sudden_Pop_2279

Seriously, both were just so malevolent, taunting him for not being able to save his friend for no reason at all. This was the moment we saw all curses are beyond redemption and Sukuna will NOT become Yuji's friend.


random1211312

You get to season 2 yet?


Sudden_Pop_2279

Yep. Mahito and Jogoat were my 2 fav villains. Especially the former, it was nice seeing him grow alongside the MC. Shame both the villains we ended ups it’s are just “I do it for fun/boredom”. I much preferred cursed who were fighting for the survival of their species 


random1211312

I'm surprised you choose this scene over one of Itadori's in Shibuya tbh. Also far as the villain thing, kinda agree kinda don't. Jogo never had what it took to be a main villain. Mahito could go either way imo. I find him more interesting than Sukuna given what we currently know, and I think there was still lots of room to explore his mind. Despite how he seems on the surface, he's more complex in his care or lack of towards others than people realize. Though I do think Sukuna has room for a similar thing, and >!Kenjaku had serious potential before being killed!<. The latter I think actually worked well, sheerly due to how absurd the idea of living out a 1000 year plan for kicks is.


Ok_Usual1335

Boi spoiler that >!kenjaku death bruh!<


random1211312

oops mb


Void3tk

Why did you think he’d become Yujis friend?


Abject-Flower-7605

Tons of people thought it'd be a Naruto type thing (I personally never thought that)


tatertotsnturtles

I'm so glad it didn't go that route honestly. I find it a lot more interesting, the stakes really were set out at the beginning of the series for how serious stuff with sukuna is. I think a lot of people get lulled into the tropes and when they don't happen, they're upset but if they do happen it's boring or lazy writing. At this point, no winning with fans. I'm just gonna love the series for not spoon feeding every bit of info or trying to do a backstory on every random that walks on screen/page. This was never a heroic happy story where friendship wins and I hope it stays that way.


Abject-Flower-7605

Same, I feel there's not enough "dark" anime, too much ends up being sunshine and rainbows


tatertotsnturtles

Right like at least in this, almost every scene of a character crying is deserved and it's mostly yuji who's been brand fucking new at this with a heart of gold.


Sudden_Pop_2279

I personally never did, his 3rd line was him looking for the women and children to massacre. But this was the nail in the coffin for not only me but everyone else


LarryTheLano

This show hurts to watch because Gege has no idea what he’s doing.


Sub2PewDiePie8173

Too busy wanking Sukuna


coolchris366

Can’t hear you, too busy enjoying the fight scenes


SameOldLance

At this point, Sukuna to Gege is like Madara to Kishimoto


Diaxmond

lalalallalala I can’t hear you


Abject-Flower-7605

Nah, reading the manga does. The anime so far is great, but it just goes downhill


Glass_Teeth01

I have to disagree, Gege knows exactly what he's doing; Sucking off Sukuna and kicking everyone else in the soul


Abbaddonhope

I figured that out the moment, they explained how curses come into existence. Redemption isn't something i ever see happening for any of them. I was almost brainwashed by naruto and other Shonen with the power of friendship.


Chateau-in-Space

Ed-ward? Brother, Ed-ward?


skinned_piglet

Jesus that gave me nightmares as a child


nickname10707173

Time to rewatch to refresh your nightmares!


Chateau-in-Space

I AM THATS WHY I KNOW IT HURTS TO REWATCH 😭😭


Equivalent_Fun6100

The last episode of Your Lie in April... Just... The whole episode.


Chochahair

Watched last week, beautiful show


rdrworshipper123

I finished my second rewatch in February. Hit just as hard.


zeldanerd91

I love this episode, though. It’s so poignant and beautiful.


smitedr3amz

That fucking letter had me bawling dude.


AtlasExiled

The most recent episode of Mushoku Tensei. That one hurt me.


bigmos84

Came here for this... Dude... I'm just...


shinjirc

that episode had me by a chokehold the entire day I watched it


screenwatch3441

>!Happy father’s day *single tear*!<


Xecutor142

Just keep in mind it was also on father's day


haha7125

I was not expecting such tragedy


Generally_Confused1

I used to read the manga and just started the anime


SexySquidward42069

Big... brother...?


Rohan_Kishibayblade

“I give you my word that neither me or my zombies will harm your baby.” Paraphrasing a little, but Dio was such a monster in Part 1. The Ultimate Evil for a reason


Balognee_

I watched the show because of Dio, because of his time stop ability and the onslaught of all the memes about the Jotaro vs Dio fight Then realized how evil that fucker is, that manga scene about Danny being put on the furnace and still seeing him squirming around is nuts.


BigSwordDude

It just always hurts to rewatch the eclipse. You never get used to the sheer depressive onslaught that it brings. And if we're talking JJK, the scene shown doesn't even come close to the saddest or most painful to watch, it's always any scene from the Shibuya Incident. It's always the damn Shibuya Incident.


Nesyaj0

The gunshot in JJK 0 gets to me more than the Shibuya incident. >! Except for Nanami !< E: Yeah, guys, my bad. I meant Hidden Inventory. I thought Hidden Inventory and the movie overlapped with each other.


Quazmojo

I'll always feel bad seeing Hinamori get stabbed by Aizen. Like she was 1000% in adoration of him to the point that she had to have mental therapy to recover from it let alone the medical side of being stabbed.


ValentinePatch1999

Nina Tucker’s fate and the finale of Angel Beats. Both were painful


R3alityGrvty

AOT, Hange’s death. The soundtrack, her final words, her post-death experience, everything was fucking flawless. I’ve watched it 5 times and it gets me every time.


AnalProtector

Her death and Sasha's will always hit me hard.


JustinSyrup

“My name is Emporio..” always just hurts


EApoebsd

I can't rewatch part 6 because the ending is too much for me lol


FV-Zu

MetokurEnjoyer

God this one made me tear up… English VA also killed it… fuck man.


CrazyDago203

When the first JoJo dies


firedancer323

I almost cried fr when the dog died


CrazyDago203

Me too


Grimdaybreaker

For me it’s Ai’s death in episode one of oshi no ko i rewatch it and i yell at her not to tell her ex where she lives every time


JohnXTheDadBodGod

If it's not seeing the mess of Nina on the wall by Scar, you're not human.


lalanevR

" Shinichis mum" stabbing him while he is just confused and doesn't want to accept that his mum WASNT his mum


Southern-Product9557

Tokyo ghoul for me


JawsRaglizar

Yo I still can't rewatch the end of season 1. When he sits there, asking his mom why she died and left him all alone.. I lost my mom young, so that scene hit SUPER hard for me


MaskedMaidenOrz

This scene lost all impact for me when it was revealed Sukuna can't use RCT like that and couldn't heal Junpei even if he wanted to. So knowing he was bullshitting ruins this scene for me.


Dyerdon

Ed.Ward.


EApoebsd

Kyoko >!dying trying to (pointlessly) save Sayaka!< hit so hard like my god (PMMM)


Zhixco

That elevator scene from made in abyss


DeadMemeMan_IV

honestly not as bad as episode 10 imo, which itself isn’t as bad as irumyui’s transformation, which loses to that prushka scene (you know the one). if there was a tier list of the top 10 hardest-to-watch scenes in anime, made in abyss would get the top 3 spots imo


TOHRU_ADACH1

"It's a... message. It's the best I can do... Mr Joestar... Please understand. Please, figure it out..." The least deserved death out of any jojo character, Noriaki Kakyoin


Scomo510

Pretty much any beginning or ending of season episode of mushoku tensei. That show hits way too close to home during the "relapse" episodes.


kingpiranha

Aizen stabbing Hinamori


Pristine-Carpenter-9

Daughter. Dog.


UltraCreeperXD

for me it’s gotta be in demon slayer when nezuko was like dying in the sun


CarelessPollution226

AoT S4 the entire time they were at the restaurant iykyk


exoventure

A portion of Re:zero season 1. I think it's a good show, it's just painful to watch an MC screw himself over and do some really cringe stuff even if it makes sense to his character and story. (Subaru basically announcing that Emilia is best girl in front of a room of white knights. That whole sequence of events leading up to there and a little past that I just despised Subaru, but felt it made sense based on his character.)


Mundane-Opinion-4903

That whole episode is so damn hard to watch.


Wise-Kitchen-9749

All of angel beats characters disappearing from the photograph each episode...


Hayabusafield77

You want one that hurts to rewatch? How about one that hurts just to bring up. Assassination classroom, final episode


Chochahair

There are so many top tier anime thatll drop me to my knees crying. ill throw out two basic ones. Eclipse in the 97' berserk, n ending of bebop. Saw one today, im rewatching aot rn n i got to the ova title No Regrets pt2, n man 🤦🏽‍♂️ it was tough


Mightychallenge

The one about the origin of the brothers. It’s crazy how they were literally born into such dark emotions. But love eachother so much. Jujitsu kaisen.


AverageOrdinaryDoode

When you say "**hurt"**, what type of hurt do you mean? LIke Betrayal hurt with Griffith and Guts. Or Emotional hurt with Ace's death. Or did you mean Rewatch kind-of hurt like going back and rewatching all of dragon ball just to realize you will never get the same feelings about the show ever again with the death that occurred.


skinned_piglet

In devilman crybaby (very violent anime) in one of the last episodes (forgot which) miki, a sweet innocent girl that's friends with the main character is stabbed then dismembered, parts of her body on pikes as the humans dance in front of a bonfire, the scene lingers really driving home the fucked up nature of it. https://youtu.be/vr0eOkgHwxg?si=-DDy7H-wsoPbJXj8 Scene for viewing. May not hit as close cause you didn't watch the whole show.


International-Most31

That scene, plus: "Akira, why am I the only one talking?"


robitussin_hero

This was going to be my suggestion and I’m glad to see someone else mentioned it. I wasn’t ready for that at all on first viewing.


1Pip1Der

Welcome to the NHK: The scream


Comfortable_Cut_7334

Honestly I'd say the entirety of episode 25 for Death Note. The entire episode just feels so off and melancholy compared to every other episode before it.


DJDoubleDave729

Most painful scene for me in that show was >!Soichiro Yagami’s death!<


Ghosts_lord

videl getting destroyed in the tournament do i really need to explain ?


DJDoubleDave729

Can confirm, you do not


Background-Arugula52

I haven’t seen the anime yet but this looks goofy asf


DeadMemeMan_IV

made in abyss s1e10. you know what happens in episode 10 seeing interspecies reviewers lose the top spot on MAL was pretty rough too though

Caesar zeppeli's final monologue was a rough one, meanwhile baron zeppeli accepting his fate is hands down the best part of part 1


Helpful-Paramedic-99

Genuine answer? The last episode of Your Lie in April after getting my heart ripped out from the rest of the show


Ramenmayonaise

Aces final scene got To me. And seeing luffy and everyone’s reactions hurt way more.


Table_Usual

Mays Hughes funeral. His death already hurt but his daughter just broke me man.


MightOk9038

Mitty's first death in Made In Abyss. Why? Because of the voice acting and the way Nanachi yells "wait" and "my treasure" while crying


Mildamoutoftrolling

I liked that secene, because the animation was so fucking good.

Alexander Anderson's death and what leads up to it always hurts my heart when watching it sadly. I mean its from hellsings ultimate.


randommangacharacter

Luffy’s break down after losing his crew with kuma staring down at him.


Downstackguy

I wanted to see more comments about jjk I dont see jjk as hard to rewatch, suffering sucks but idk, jjk makes the suffering of a character so, how to I put it lightly, so weirdly enjoyable to watch. Cause its so well written and well thought out Especially shibuya incident, bro is just trying to save someone anyone


AnotherGuyOfReddit

Future Gohans final stand, dude literally tried so hard just to fail inevitably :(


idkwhataboutyou148

When eren was revealed as the villain in s4 of aot also for me it was happy hurts because I love villain personas


Larryman3008

Rengoku getting punched through the stomach


OmniBLVK

When Sakura lied to Naruto about loving him. Bitches ain't shit


dagakotowaru420

it was definitely itadori in shibuya, he’s seen literally almost all of his friends die, in front of him. along with one of his teachers. (god rest my king nanami’s soul)


Accomplished_Art6370

Hurts? I'd say seeing Nanami died and im never watching that sht ever again. Not on my life…


-_-AnimeBoi

The entire shibuya incident and yet I am about to watch it again.


HaikenRD

Is it bad that I was laughing with them?


Funko87

Berserk, the Eclipse. I don't think I need to explain..


Permafroz

because it gave you a reason to be sad, and yet they portrayed it to make you feel like you should feel the hatred because of the blatant mockery of the reason you feel that sadness


FaithlessnessOk9623

Berserk's Eclipse "Damn bro, this place is dark and scary. I sure hope all these characters I grew to love and enjoy don't each suffer an absolutely horrible fate that condemns them to an eternity of suffering. It's a good thing Guts is here!"


SsjSylveriboi

Any time mahito’s on screen I gain another reason beyond the 13th


ColonelMonty

Honestly Sukuna just refusing to take Yuji's offer (Assuming he could've done it.) And decided to instead just laugh and at him is a power move.


airbornejaws

Nanami's death. Fuck you Gege, you couldn't let him get his goddamn vacation? Instead, you gave to Meimei??? But for real, it hurt so bad, especially when he was trying to force that last smile for Yuji, knowing he needed any form of encouragement at that point. He was such an amazing dude and definitely deserved better, Gege.


artsygirlloveJesus

It's the huge mouths for me.


BrokenKing22

Edgerunners.....HELLO?!?!?!?!?!


MongooseDependent147

in the let’s go movie when pikachu cried over ash dying, had me in ugly tears


Gunslinger_11

That scene hurts cause the voice actors went all out with the mocking laughter. The laughter cuts your soul


Mysticmimiky

God, that fucking scene genuinely just hurts so bad, but it is immediately followed up by one of the hardest Yuji scenes so...


Mc-Chillin-Chicken72

This picture hurts to look at


Double_Cartoonist810

GRIFFIIIIITHHHH!!!!


Justa_Mongrel

When Gon snapped and used his entire life's Nen to get revenge on the person who killed Kite, the man who taught Gon what it means to be a Hunter, respect life and grieve for every life you take. Ironic that he had no remorse for Pitou's death, only sadness for Kite's loss.


EatTacosGetMoney

This scene, followed shortly after by "are you still there, komugi?"


NIssanZaxima

As a big JJK and Itadori fan, the fandom greatly exaggerates his "Pain and suffering". This scene is not hard to watch.


Geoxaga

The whole korra season 3 finally. Seeing the breaking point where a once energetic, headstrong, heroic girl starts to break just hurts. She matured to her best version in season 3, growing past the girl who solved things with her fist, who lived being the avatar, who loved helping people, loved being strong. Seeing her become broken, bound to a wheel chair that took a year or rehab, not even able to walk. In a world that no longer needs an avatar, that no longer needs her. When we see her in season four, even after getting all the poison out of her, she still couldn't fight to the same heights she could in season 3 or even 1. It was heartbreaking the first time I saw it, it was even more heartbreaking when I saw it again.

Probably the scene in ReZero where rems body contorts but she’s still alive and climbs towards subaru, just such an absolutely brutal scene but one of my favorite episodes of anime.

Toss up between 1. the end or season one Tokyo Ghoul, when Kaneki sits in the chair wondering why his mom had to die and leave him all alone 2. Ahiru no Sora when Sora visits his mom in the hospital, and she dies succumbs to her cancer with him at her bedside without him knowing he saw him play his first real high school game I lost my mom young, so it's always a hard watch for me when something happens to a mom in general

There's a few good scenes in a silent voice that I think about so spoilers. 1. When the mc friends found out the mc >!bullied the deaf kid when he was younger as it left her to leave school!< 2.the faris wheel scene And finally the firework scene. It's such a peak movie that I recommend it

My personal top 6: 6. Shirley AND Rolo’s death from Code Geass 5. That scene from SAO Alicization where the two girls were about to get molested from the two nobles 4. Goku’s agonizing scream when Piccolo tortures him from the first Dragon Ball series 3. Edward and Al realizing that Nina is a chimera from FMAB 2. The ending from Berserk 😱😱😱 1. Naofumi getting falsely accused from Shield Hero. Not only does this scene hurt to watch, it genuinely makes my blood boil

In One Piece, during the Water 7 Arc. When Ussopp got beaten half to death by the Franky Family, that hurt me. On a level more personally than Ace's death, but I don't know why. "I'm so ashamed." "We were finally going to fix the Merry." And when Nami, NAMI, said "Don't worry about the money" It was such a tender, sad moment.

awkward_weebstan

Idk the exact subs but, Madoka Magica episode 9 when Kyouko started doing her monologue while kneeling/praying. Telling Sayaka "You don't like being alone right? That's why I will be here with you." Top it off with a brutal art of them during the ED. It's been a decade, but every scene from that show still feels freshly carved in my mind.


chapapa-best-doto

When we had a POV of Kosei catching a glimpse of Kaori grabbing on to the rail of her hospital bed when her disease relapsed. My god that hurt me so bad I felt it. I’ve ugly cried a couple of times. I didn’t cry for this one. It just hurts and stabs me right in the chest.

Not technically anime, but the scene in Kingdom Hearts 358 Days/2 where it’s just Roxas, Xion and Axel sitting at the top of the clock tower as Xion is being erased from their memories.

Skeeterman96

Naruto and Sasuke vs Jigen. (I know I know. I'm a loser for enjoying Boruto, but please hear me out) When they're both impailed by Jigens chakra rods, and he decides that it'd be a good idea to get rid of Sasuke because his rinnegan made him a nuisance. He looked the same way he did all those years ago when he saw Itachis sussanoo for the first time at the Uchiha Hideout. They didn't have anything left to stop Jigen, so all Naruto could do was make more clones to hold him off while he persuades Sasuke to leave him. He seemed genuinely afraid and was just grasping at anything to stay and help Naruto, his one friend who was his ride or die since day one. He's always so level headed, but he was pretty desperate in this situation. Even with being the smarter of the two, he almost threw logic aside because he didn't want to leave Naruto behind. A side of him you don't see often.
