Meanwhile, this lot CAN'T die! Check out our new list: Top 20 Hardest to Kill Anime Characters kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qOB4a9idxtCwf2w.html

Ai's death is heart wrenching but is also upsetting, she was living a happy life with her kids and an incel ends it because the kids weren't his

Ushio's death wasn't just heartbreaking to me, it was soul breaking. The protagonist having lost the love of his life to child birth had finally found happiness again when reunited with his daughter. It was heartwarming to see him find a reason to live again. Then the illness that caused her mother to die found its way to Ushio. The whole scene made me a blubbering mess. I had to briefly stop the show to get the crying out of my system. Definitely not something I will forget any time soon.

Maes Hughes was my favorite side character of Fullmetal Alchemist. His death and his funeral broke my heart the first time I saw it, and his daughter crying over wondering where her dad was hit me even harder

The deaths of Ai, Ace, Koro-sensei, Kamina and Sir Nighteye shattered my heart into so many pieces. I may never get past them. 😭😭😭💔💔💔

I went into Oshi Ko No thinking it was just a fun and charming anime about a pop star taking on the world and showing what she’s got, and then I find out it was more than that and a hell of lot more devastating. She was living a beautiful life. Ai was living a beautiful like with two beautiful children. 😭🥺 From that moment, I wished nothing but karma things for her killer.

I’m still not over Rengoku’s death, man. It just hits me so hard….

The sad part about Ai's Death is how it can actually be happening in our time period. I think I remember an Idol that got stabbed just because she returned one of her "Fans" Presents

Koro Sensei's death was so sad, especially when you hear the ending song, and you realize that it was the end of Assassination Classroom. It was heart breaking to watch since the students had just lost the best teacher they could have. RIP Koro Sensei

Jiraiya and Neji’s untimely demises really shook me to my core. It wasn’t fair they perished too soon without seeing Naruto officially becoming Hokage and being a married man with two kids.

Kaoris death was the very first time an anime ever ever made me cry like a little kid. I couldn’t take the fact that not only someone so young was taken too fast but the future she could of had with the mc was the one thing everyone was looking for. And finally the fact that she lied instead of at least live those last months with the love of her life. Just broke me

Joe Yabuki’s death will always be in top lists like this cause how much it influenced anime to this day. He went through so much hell, losing Rikishi, Carlos becoming mentally damaged, getting punch-drunk syndrome, he was truly anime’s Rocky Balboa. The sight of him smiling, his inner monologue before passing, and the song ‘Joe Forever’ playing is both beautiful and heart breaking😢

I'M STILL NOT OVER AI DONT SHOW ME THIS WATCHMOJO

#20: Sir Nighteye (My Hero Academia) #19: The Night Raid (Akame Ga Kill) #18: Himeno (Chainsaw Man) #17: Joe Yabuki (Ashita No Joe) #16: L (Death Note) #15: Ushio (Clannad: After Story) #14: Nicholas D. Wolfwood (Trigun) #13: Miki Makimura (Devilman: Crybaby) #12: Kite (Hunter x Hunter) #11: Kyojuro Rengoku (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) #10: Jiraiya (Naruto Shippuden) #9: Korosensei (Assassination Classroom) #8: Shirley (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion) #7: Caesar (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure) #6: Ace (One Piece) #5: Setsuko & Seita (Grave of the Fireflies) #4: Kaori (Your Lie in April) #3: Ai Hoshino (Oshi No Ko) #2: Maes Hughes (Fullmetal Alchemist) #1: Kamina (Gurren Lagann)

Hoshino Ai's death hurt my soul more than anything else. All she ever wanted was to be a great mother to both Aqua & Ruby and for her appreciation for her fans to be genuine.

Jiraiya's was a gut punch. He was an ace Ninja, a perverted goofball, and dedicated to the Leaf enough to threaten even Tsunade with death if she turned traitor. He was indeed Naruto's father figure if not outright.

“Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! Believe in the Kamina who believes in you!” That one always stuck with me.

I was in shock after Kamina died. I didn’t want to believe it. I genuinely thought he was the true hero to the story. Although thinking back, I’m pretty sure he was.

still have to say Shirley was my personal top anime saddest death. She was just an innocent girl who died so pointlessly. The whole scene, her last words, plus Lelouch's scream at the end either in Japanese or in English was just heart wrenching...only twice has fictional scenes get me a little teared eyed. This one, and Stoick's

Yuuki’s death in Sword Art Online was beyond tragic. She just wanted to live her life at her full potential but had it taken way too soon due to her being diagnosed with AIDS ever since she was born. It should’ve at least got an honorable mention in this video.

I felt so Heartbroken and Crushed by Ai Hoshino's death from *Oshi Ko No* Anime. All she ever wanted in her life was to be a Kind, Generous and Humble mother to her twin children, Aqua and Ruby, and the appreciation for her fans as genuine and humble. 😞😞😞😞💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

Ace's death to save Luffy not just soul crunching but heart breaking moment

I was fine throughout this entire list until it got to Maes Hughes... hearing his little girl screaming for everyone not to bury her daddy, begging him to wake up legit made me tear up. The thing that makes his death worse is that Envy took the form of his wife to kill him knowing he loved her too much to ever raise a hand to someone who looked and sounded just like her.

Ushio's death breaks me to this day. And I watched it YEARS ago. Absolutely gut wrenching.

Mae Hughes? Well done, Mojo, well done. Being there with Jiraiya, Ace among the others here, his death always gets me both in FMA and FMA: Brotherhood. Difference being in FMA: Brotherhood all of us shares Mustang's fury and rage towards Envy. With each snap of his fingers we're there burning that little wretch for all he did/had done.

The majority of Night Raid, Himeno's, and Rengoku's deaths really felt heartbreaking enough, but it wasn't until watching Koro-sensei's death did I cry twice. I watched it not only as a clip on KZfaq, but then I binged the entirety of Assassination Classroom, and even still, I was devastated by his death both times, but in the end, it was one of the most beautiful ways to go.

Maes Hughes, Nicholas D Wolfwood, Koro-Sensei, L, Sir Nighteye, Jiraiya... all of them hit me hard, but Maes Hughes sticks with me as a father myself. His daughter's reaction at his funeral, "Why are they burying Daddy?"... seriously, if your eyes are dry there, you don't have a soul. Koro-Sensei is probably a close second, because I was bawling. That one hurt, even if it needed to happen.

Asuma's death should be here, at least as a honorable mention, the death itself and Shikamaru's reaction to it after the fact are still clear as day in my mind

As sad as Kamina's death was, I'll never forgive anyone who dropped the show cause of it

L's Death hurt even worst because he saw Light as his best friend, but Light never saw him the same way.

The deaths of L, Sir Nighteye, Ace, Kamina, Rengoku, Korosensei, Maes broke my heart into a million pieces. 😭💔 They should've put Orga from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

I swear the ending of assassin's classroom had in me legit tears. He believed in them all when no one else would, became their parental figure, and he truly loved them for who they are. I was literally crying with them and had to stop to collect myself.

Of all the deaths on this list, Grave of the Fireflies destroyed me the most simply because of how real it was. Knowing actual children went through what Setsuko and Seita did was soul destroying on its own level. Still the only Studio Ghibli film I’ve only watched once as a result.

A good portion of these deaths still affect me either with sadness like the fact even rewatching some scenes make me shed a tear 😢 especially some from One Piece (Merry), Hughes, & Koro-Sensei

Hida Shoko from Happy Sugar Life. Man so many characters in that anime have it very rough but pretty much all the characters that die deserve it. Shoko was the one person from that anime that did not deserve to die. The anime is about a girl named Matsusoka Satou, referred to as Satou-Chan by the characters. She was raised by her aunt growing up as both her parents were dead. Her aunt was psycho and had a very warped perception of love which unfortunately also turned Satou into a psycho with her own warped perception of love. One day Satou meets a young girl named Shio Kobe after Shio was abandoned in an alley by her mother after the mom slapped her and feared she was becoming a monster like her abusive husband. Satou and Shio live together in an apartment secretly and have a “happy sugar life” where it’s just the two of them. Shoko was Satou’s best friend but when she found Satou living together with Shio the two got into a major fight. It’s played over a beautiful and honestly heartbreaking song. At the end of the confrontation Shoko promises Satou she won’t go the police and tell them what she saw, but Satou doesn’t believe it and stabs Shoko to death. If you can handle a dark storyline and want a short anime to binge I highly recommend Happy Sugar Life. It’s only 12 episodes so you can probably watch the whole series within a day.

I cried my eyes out when Ceasar died in JoJo. That was the only 2nd time anime made me cry. The first was when Kickcyho from, Samurai 7 died protecting the village. He was going to marry his crush, but sadly obviously it didn't happen. What was even more touching was the thought of mind over matter. Earlier in the series he attempts to lift up a really large weapon with 2 arms and 100% power, but couldn't do it. In the last episode he's in he lifts it up with one arm and even though he's riddled with bullets from earlier and hurt successfully does it.

Rengoku’s death really did Crush my Soul and it does every time I rewatch it, but all manga readers know that there’s MANY more More heartbreaking ones to come😭

Damn it, I cried when Nagisa passed.....but Ushio.......oh damn, tears are coming back again

It is really sad that there are so many underrated sad deaths that weren't included in the video, like Eugene Rantz's in 86 or Hans's and Isabel's in Attack On Titan and many more.

Ai's death had everyone in shock, including me. A punch in the gut. Himeno's death, demoralizing. Rengoku, went out a badass.

Ai's death was one of the most tragic scenes I've watched in anime. RIP Ai Hoshino 😭

Spike Spiegel's death still hurts

Ace's death is cruel. Two straight arcs dedicated to saving him (like 100 episodes), and as soon as you think he's free, he's brutally killed by Akainu. Im still not okay

What sets Kamina apart from the others on this list is that even as he was dying, he actively took his killer with him. You know a death is going to hit hard when one’s last moment is also their most awesome.

I'm surprised that the death of Genkai in YuYu Hakusho and Nuriko from Fushigi Yugi didn't make it in here, but I'm a little old school in my anime. Still, just saw Rengoku die, and it was tragic, for sure. Also, Maes Hughs death was brutal, I remember being stunned by it too.

I'll never forget Shirley's death. That one broke me. To love and fall love again with a memory wipe said it all for me.

I still cant believe how hilarious these are it gets funnier every single time

Top Ten Most Creative Anime Deaths

I haven't watched Assassination Classroom in over 10 years but man Korosensei's death still stings....One saving grace is that at least his death was a mercy kill. He was more than happy to die by the hands of the students he cherished so much than by his own condition brought upon by experimentation.

Nina Turner's death in Fullmetal Alchemist was one heartbreaking deaths that moved me to tears

im immune to most of those deaths but that fma funeral one still cuts deep,that man didnt deserve that.

For me Bertholdt's death from AOT saddened me the most maybe

AGK's ending is still sad even to this day.

RIP AI hoshino she will always be in our hearts

Amazing video watch mojo of the most saddest deaths in all of anime,fantastic job.

NGL, there are still some more heartbreaking moments in other underrated animes😭😭😭

I haven’t seen most of these anime’s, so I’m not as well versed in how emotionally damaging their deaths are. I have seen Grave of the Fireflies however, and yeah…I have still not recovered after having watched it for the first time almost a year ago. Edit: I just got done with Code Geass and while not as devastating as Grave of the Fireflies IMO, Shirley’s death (and I might have to add Euphy’s death) was incredibly devastating.

Because I'm weird, I now know how to sing the death part of Caesar's theme and the part around Joseph's yell. Man, I loved Caesar, and I thought he was gonna live. His death was *sad*, and I'll never forget how even the narrator took his moment of silence and said his goodbyes. Rip, Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli

Have to say Lelouch's death hit me the hardest in code geass, even though that was his main goal and it was inevitable to happen, once he is able to achieve it and people realize it was his plan the entire time, it just hit's like a truck.

This made me tear up, both because I’ve seen most of these and only heard of the others. 😢

I cried so much at Grave of the Fireflies that I've only watched it once. Also, no mention of Sasha from Attack on Titan?

I'm surprised Yuuki Konno from SAO and Kenshin and Kaoru from Samurai X: Reflection didn't make the list.

For me, Nia's "death" in Gurren Lagann was more heartbreaking. Kamina's death, though not the most heartbreaking, was shocking for sure.

There's another one that got me too when the lady from violet evergarden wrote all the letters for her daughter's birthday before she died

Without watching, FMA Nina and Alexander is DEFINITELY on this list. Especially the original series one. Edit: how THE HELL WAS THIS NOT ON HERE? Though the other gut-wrenching one from this series was, so I'll let it slide.

Mayuri’s death from Steins; Gate deserves a place in this list considering how it massively impacted story progression as well as its psychological toll to Okabe.

What’s the name of music in the background? It’s sounds like it fits the theme and I love it.

Ai nooo!! 😭 Her death breaks my heart 😢💔

Ai is one of the anime deaths that struck with me 😭

Im not sure what they were going for with that final frame of Ai's death, but it's really creepy and unsettling.

Her final "glimmer" was a choked laugh, a star collapsing in on itself. My reflection in her dimming eyes - a lonely boy, the universe he knew shrinking to a single, tear-stained face.

Ngl Night Raid should’ve been way way higher..

Nah, bro, Ai Hoshino's death literally made me cry for like 20 minutes. It was just, too sad.

You didn't have to make me cry man

Ai's death is a legacy that a story continues without her, despite she's the center of Oshi no ko story... what if Ai wasn't killed by a stalker in the first place? One big answer probably if for worst ...Paparazzi

Ai's death gives me goosebumps and soul crushed death!

I hate that most these characters from the ones i watched like kamina and ace died but it was necessary for the main characters plot development its just sad in cases of what that character could of been like with Ace

can you guys do a top 10 batman beyond villains next? or a top 10 anime songs sung by characters (excluding endings and openings)? for the latter, i recomend hero too from my hero academia and the final song from senki zesshou symphogear xv

I still haven't been able to finish your lie April because it's just too depressing it makes me feel too sad. so I don't know how Oshi no koi would make me feel.

Unpopular opinion and probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but as sad and depressing as Shirley's death was in Code Geass, Rolo's death hit me even harder. I wanted to hate the guy so badly, but to see him save Lelouch as well as that heartbreaking monologue, and then die thinking of Lelouch as his brother was too much to handle. Shirley's death made me tear up, but Rolo's death made my heart bleed.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, (former) Captain of the 1st Division and Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 better be on this list. Dude's death was tragic 😭

Asumas death was an important one and so underrated.

Damn, that scene in Gurren Lagann still gives me the chills! Still makes me sad Kamina never repaid that kiss tenfold from Yoko!

Setsuko and seita, hands down. They deserved better 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I know one dead that broke my soul apart... Antonio Caesar's sacrifice to Joseph more Hamon... (CAESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR)

Some I watch already still gives me goosebumps 😭😭😭😭😭

The fact that Ai didn't close her eyes and you could see the stars fading away from her eyes😭😭😭😭

Korosensei broke me the most. Kamina, while sad, didn’t really affect me that much.

Kamina's death destroyed me. 😭

That’s what made those deaths so memorable.

Lelouch's death itself left me in tears

Why the hell isn’t Sasha Braus from “Attack on Titan” on this list. That death was a REAL heartbreaker.

Anime tragedies be like:

I feel like we all forgot Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. God, that was one of the most unexpected and heartbreaking deaths in all of anime, no, media. That death really establishes the importance of music in any emotional scene. I always forget, but Cyperpunk: Edgerunners is still an anime, with one of the most soul-crushing endings of all time.

koro-sensei’s death had me sobbing so badly bro, i’ve never cried over a death before watching that

Does Light Yagami’s death count?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

yeah, these deaths really did hurt a lot. there's way more than just these, definitely, but these 20 do also hurt.

One that's not talked about a lot, but was heart-wrenching, was Hide from Tokyo Ghoul's anime. That crushed me when I first watched it.

I don't care what anyone says. Ai should be number 1. The fact she was dying and not even mad at her killer was just heartbreaking. Mix that with her incredible VA and her remembering the killers name, just awful. So many different variables here that just break our hearts with her death. Once her star went out, I lost it.
