Saddest Fictional Death

[All Hail Lelouch]

The Death of the Flute boy in Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

The flute song is so sad.

Yeah I gotta' say too Bill from Left 4 Dead at least he's a badass, and God! What old man would take on 3 tanks, and sacrafice his life for some college flunky, sales clerk who is to hopped up on pills, and gay biker. R.I.P ole' man!

Pip from the comic Hellsing...only because a little prick killed him off. I literally FFFFFF'd because I hated the prick.

dam you ninja

On the topic of Hellsing I felt sad nearly everytime a charecter died in Hellsing as they had such good chareter developement that I even liked the bad guys, Why did Rip and Walter have to die

Haha yeah all the characters (except Zorin) where cool. Rip and Walter were one of the coolest villains ever, along with Jan Valentine. Because the world would explode because a comic/anime can't hold in such awesomeness.

 

[Kingsman]

What really comes to death, aside from Seymour, is Euphemia from Code Geass.

A lot of people die in this anime, for a lot of reasons, but no one dies in a more shocking twist then Euphie, who without spoiling anything, is forced to commit an act that goes against everything she has said and done up to that point from an incident that happened entirely by accident.

Literally left me completely shocked. I had to close and restart the episodes it happened in several times over.

For my boyfriend it's:

Spoiler

In MGS4 when you thought Snake was dead. He so sad when he thought Snake was dead.

For me it was when Maria died in Gears of War 2. I felt so bad for Dom. I was moved because when she first came out of her holding cell and Dom saw her, he saw the beautiful Maria he'd loved his entire life. It took Marcus's gruff voice to snap Dom out of it, then he sees how she really looks. It is so depressing. I don't normally cry at those things, but my boyfriend had to console me as I bawled like a baby.

*sigh*

 

[smurf_you]

Seventh book of Harry Potter as a whole. I mean I really liked the series.

Pretty much this... I mean that series practically raised me lol I cried like a baby whenever someone important (or like had a name) died.....

Also (damn you Joss Whedon!!) but, the end of season 7 of Buffy when Spike died I cried for like EVER after that.... dunno if that counts though >.>

 

[Whodat]

I Am Legend the book and movie because they are really lonely and saddening deaths. Dog in movie because you dont expect it amd i forgot about the book but i remember it being sad

 

[SlingingRobin]

I really felt sad when L was killed...
And when Wrex was killed by Ashley in Mass Effect...
And the ending of The Hitch Hikers Guild to the Galaxy...
And when everyone died in Reach...

Spoiler: Or from Steven Erickson's Malazan Tales

when Kallor kills Whiskeyjack... holy hell did that one get me. I dropped the book in shock. I mean, at least when Tattersail died you hadn't stored up almost three books worth of character yet... The deaths of a lot of the rest of the Bridgeburners later was also pretty strong, but Whiskeyjack, oh man. That was tough.

I could probably come up with a few more too, but these are the ones that I've re-experienced recently.

Kallor gets another "FUCK YOU KALLOR" scene in Return of the Crimson Guard. Not a sad moment but a "Why did you do that, you prick!". He gets strangely amusing to read in Toll the Hounds, and is the only saving grace for the first 600 pages of pure bore in that book. The ending of The Toll the Hounds is strangely, the only book in "Book of the Fallen", that manages to end on a happy ending of sorts. Even though it's a tear jerker ending.

Though in the prick scale of Malazan, The Errant far surpasses Kallor. That guy exists purely only to annoy.

 

[lSHaDoW-FoXl]

I my self will have to pull one out of a Childrens book. In any Redwall book I can guarantee to you that I'll hate the heroes. What I do enjoy about these books however are and always have been the villains, and when one of they die I feel that same emptiness. I won't say there names because I don't know how to do that spoiler thing but I will say one of their deaths is one example is 'Mattimeo' and another is in the book 'The Bellmaker.'

Spoiler: Major Clannad After Story spoilers

Nagisa and Ushio's deaths were just unbearably sad. I was crying the whole night.

This. Oh God, this. No anime should be able to do that to a human being. Thank God things get better by the ending. I could practically hear the makers saying, "Come on guys, you didn't think we'd actually end it that way, did you? No one's that cruel."

 

[paragon1]

Edgar Ross at the end of RDR. Hated that guy, but then you find out he had family too, making it kinda sad but still all the more satisfying when you kill him. Then you realize that Jack has become his father despite everything John sacrificed in order for that not to happen. O hand if this was a spoiler you deserved it for not having the decency to buy, finish, and replay this game up yet.

Wait a minute, there's more game after John dies? I thought that was the end of the game!

Maybe it's just me, but...

[spoiler: Spoilers] In Red VS Blue: Reconstruction, Church (AKA the Alpha AI!) went to distract the Meta while Agent Washington activated the EMP (sorry, the Emph), claiming it wouldn't effect him, since he is, in his own words "a motherfucking ghost".

Turns out that those were his last words, as Word of God states that the Alpha is effectively gone. This depresses me, because the Church we've all come to know and love, who's been there from the very beginning, is gone. (Not that I have anything against Epsilon, but in his current condition, he won't be able to do anything...) [/spoiler]

This affected me at the time, mostly because I couldn't believe they actually killed him. And, ya know, he was pretty damn awesome.

Ah, nice to see I wasn't the only one affected. As much as I love the guys at Rooster Teeth, I still can't forgive them for that.

Also, I have two more I'd like to mention:

1. The (apparent) death of Noodle of the band Gorillaz (Murdoc said she was fine, but then, he's not the most reliable narrator)

2. And (as mentioned before) the death of Commander Root in the fourth Artemis Fowl book. I can't believe the author actually went that far...

If you don't cry after watching this, something is wrong with you. (must have already seen the 1st Pokemon movie to apply)

 

[Rene Overweter]

AREITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed. Her theme song still gives me shivers.
Also Kamina, from Gurren Lagann. I almost cried manly tears when he died.

Indeed this was also my saddest moment in my youth .. and still is when i replay FF7
And yes kamina also made me feel a great loss... R.I.P to My Friends you are both still dearly missed

 

[PortalParadox]

That random nameless background NPC at the end of Ravenholm in Half-Life 2.

With the music and the guy who leads you into the next room with the words "There's nothing more we can do here", it brought me to tears.

Spoiler: Second Coming with the X-men had a few

Most significant was meant to be Nightcrawlers I feel and he's death was pretty sad and inspiring. But the half-hearted funeral, which had poor interpretation of many characters and seem rushed kind of made it less important.

Cable's on the other hand affected me enough to put me in a sour mood all of the day after. It wasn't the actual death exactly but rather the image of Hope his foster daughter curled up in a ball hugging his metal arm (the only remaining part of his body). Something about how big the arm was even compared to her and how cold and foreign it was (being completely metal).

Then the funeral, where the ever cold and calculating Cyclops is too overcome with grief to talk about his son's death, even though the two have been estranged over the years and at times enemies. It was like Cyclops' grand plans and secret kill squad had won him the war, but at what cost? But it was Hope's speech that really teared me up a little bit, where she said that Cable would never have wanted anyone to cry because he died on his feet, alongside friends and for a noble cause, but she's struggling not to cry, because she misses her father but wants to put on a brave face for everyone.

This funeral scene, in it's brevity and aptness shamed the previous one for Nightcrawler. I honestly think they should have buried after the battle, it seemed unfair to mourn him but not Ariel as well (a sad death because no one really mentioned it). As Cable taught Hope, crying is fine, but only after you've won the battle.

There are a few moments that have shaken me...

Spoiler

When Elizabeth "Fox" Gant is killed in Matthew Reilly's Scarecrow

Spoiler

The montage with Seymour at the end of the Futurama episode Jurassic Bark

Spoiler

An obscure one, but when Sev (or 07) is left behind in Republic Commando. This one was more rage then sadness.

Spoiler

When Reaver killed Barnum in Fable 2

Spoiler

Brom's death in Eragon. Not many other characters I care about in that series, but he was my favourite.

Spoiler

This one doesn't really require a spoiler but... I cried as a six year old when my Digimon died in Digimon World on the Playstation. There was just something about growing something from an egg, through all the stages of its life and then watching it die that tore me.
