Top 10 anime betrayals next please.

Iron Giant = a mothafuckin gem.

Top ten tragic deaths *sees Attack on Titan in the thumbnail* me: "Oh no..."

i remember watching the iron giant when i was little kid i think i cried like a baby

I remember being at the drive in with my dad and watching HTTYD2. I was in tears. HTTYD was a movie that I bonded with my dad over (we are very close and both very emotional people,) so it hit hard.

i rarely cry at things like this, during the whole scene where ed was fighting mr.Tucker i was fine, but i lost it when nina said '' no ed, dont hurt daddy '' even after all hes done to her she still believes in him and i broke down crying

Iggy from jojo, died protecting someone who just come to respect him at the very moment.

Wanna know what gets me about Eren's mum's death? He was only 10 at the time

The best part of Attack on titan is that the more the history progresses, you get a lot of perspective of past events. Now we know that in the first episode everyone was suffering, the people, the changing titans, the normal titans, everyone was a victim of the circumstances.

Saberspark list just moved me & chopper to tears after watching this videos 10/10

Jonathan Joestar's death is kinda gorgeous and tragic at the same time: we saw him hugging his worst enemy with a smile and begging to his wife to escape from the boat... The saddest thing is (SPOILERS) that Dio didn't die, his head survived the explosion and he used Jonathan body to survive... sad

Your last pick from "Land Before Time" is definitely a scene that stuck with me, even more than Mufasa's death. It's a quiet moment between Little Foot and his mother, the rain between them, and her last words to him to guide him to the Great Valley. Good list overall! There are some powerful scenes in anime and animated films like this that often leave a bigger impact in ourselves than the happier moments on these shows or films. Obviously, there are more tragic moments of loss than what you've listed, but you've picked some good examples for your list. Keep up the great work with your channel. :)

"Do not grieve, soon I shall be one with the Matrix"

"WHERE'S THE GIANT MANSLEY?" Simultaneously the most chilling, and the funniest line from Iron Giant.

SHIIIIIZAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

8:50 Meanwhile at my house....It starts to rain WHAT THE!!

Damn it, no Caesar Zeppeli! I can only say it was... ... ...... crushing.

No no no you said about little foot mother's death! .. No .....i cried as soon as you said the word.

When are you going to do the worst cartoon couples?

I have such profound respect for your knowledge of animation Saber, there are some moments on this list that I didn't even think about or forgot all together. You brought back some serious memories with this list, keep the nostalgia coming!

I was thinking about the death of Nina Tucker recently and I realize her death was a lot worse in Brotherhood (and the manga). In the show, Tucker is supposed to be a brilliant alchemist and advanced with the creation of chimeras. Other chimeras are introduced later in the series, specifically Greed's friends and the four chimeras Ed and Al befriend later on (I don't remember their names). They are incredibly strong and could blend in with society. Nina couldn't. It's worse that she died in vein more or less, and that her dad actually sucked at his job.

But mah dude Iron Giant Regenerated though 😜

when I watched Fullmetal Alchemist I cried at Nina's, Maes death. when I watched brotherhood I cried at their death too but I cried at Greed's death... his last words were "goodbye, my friends" T^T btw love your videos

Lemme guess, Lion king? I knew it

RIP Big Henry.

While Nina's death in Fullmetal Alchemist was definitely tragic, I believe that Maes Hughes had a more impactful death. (Note: I've only seen brotherhood) While Edward and Alphonse do occasionally reflect on Nina and her dog, it doesn't really hold much barring after the episode. But Hughes' death turns Roy from a calm sensible person to a ruthless torturer when he finds that it was Envy that carried out the murder. Not only that but the death happens early on, and by the end Roy's still grieving his death. Plus Hughes was the best character.

"You can check out the full spectrum of emotion with anime series'... Sword Art Online" Yeah, that makes me feel a spectrum of an emotion. A spectrum of disgust. *roasted*

Great list Saber. Keep up the good work.

That's fine Saberspark, I didn't need my heart anyway. It drowned in my tears. Great video.

Iggy's death, Caesar's death, Danny's death

I remember when The Land Before Time was good!

In 03, Ninas death was really emotional because of the many episodes we spent with her but Maes Hughes and Greeds deaths in Fullmetal Alchemist brotherhood were way sadder in my opinion :'(

You actually added the Combat Carl thing. Nice.

If there's no jojo's bizarre adventures death, well I'll be very CROSS get it

who is chopping onions goddamnit

The eclipse from Berserk, I will never forget.

So when it comes to tragic anime deaths people only go for the mainstream stuffs. Where's Ceasar, Gungrave, Rave Master, Fist of the North Star?

Any JJBA death, honestly. You spend entire seasons getting to know these characters, only for them to die brutally. Even the off-screen deaths (Erina and Speedwagon) hit hard, because they got two seasons of build up.

I recently discovered your videos Saberspark and I've been binge watching them, I think you're really funny. Keep up the good work. :)

One of the few Top Tens where I agree with every entry! I'm really glad that you gave the spotlight to Land Before Time. Such a sad piece. I just wish that you also mentioned that scene where the old dinosaur is yelling at Littlefoot after his loss, but comforts him when he sees how much pain he's in. That's the scene where the tears finally broke for me.

Can I point out how Nina's death was also the first point in the series where Ed reminded of how he tried to bring his mother back, just to end up bring her back to put her into more pain. I mean Tucker is much worse, doing what he did for gain while Edward was desperately trying to bring his mother back to life. Hell, his goal in the series is to find a philosopher's stone so he can do just that. I also think that the only reason Up was an entire movie was because they knew that most people would cry after having just seen the opening of the film. It's one of the few fictional things that has made me personally cry. The end of Cowboy Bebop, the last half of Clannad Afterstory, and Seymour being the only other things that have done that to me. And I mean the entire last half of Clannad Afterstory, during that entire quarter of the series I was either in tears or on the verge of tears because I honestly felt a connection to the characters.

I know it sounds stupid but goku's death against cell made me tear up. I still love it and it will forever be in my top 10.

Love all your videos man

Maes Hughes still hurts my soul to this day. I cry every single time I see it, especially after I've lost people close to me in recent years. You'd think I'd be over it by now after all these years but it still gets me.

Joseph:The trip was truly fun. Wasn't it?

What about Caesar Zeppeli?

Another great video!

Great Video! Very enjoyable! I can't wait to see more!!

Joker: Return of the Joker. No joke that actually kinda hurt.

Hey Saberspark, have you watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars? There are several clone deaths that really make you emotional. Also great video!

I love your list! You had me at Iron Giant and just kept one upping it. So emotional, love it. :D

I am so glad you mentioned that robot from Samurai Jack. That was my favorite episode and I was surprised you didn't mention it in your top ten list for samurai jack episodes.

Kenny McCormick's death was pretty tragic

I thought the death of Bambi's mother was far more tragic and executed with more grace than the death of Littlefoot's mother or Simba's father. There. Is said it.

The beginning of Up was especially hard to watch, because we watched it shortly after my father passed away from cancer. We had no idea it was going to have a scene right at the beginning of it, and I'll be honest, it was gut-wrenching for my family to watch because we could all relate to something that had just happened to us.

I'm a seriously a newcomer to your channel. But seeing your videos, this one for example automatically proves to me your a great youtuber. Has great taste, knows has to criticism, and actually gives good argument. Seriously though, your awesome man! You even red through the comments and "loved" a persons comment. Hard to see youtubers like that nowadays... Anyway, you earned yourself a like, and a Subscriber. Expecting great things from you!

Optimus Prime in Transformers: The Movie. Gee, you seem to ignore Transformers in every video.

Combat Carl! You've brought a tear to a pizza somewhere.

You know its a good day when Saberspark uploads.

Hey Saberspark, I think you're an awesome duderino. Thanks for your hard work.

"the iron giant is underrated." what planet are you on this movie is praised all the time.

Two robots to start off the list... okay.

This video legit made me cry. Good on ya mate.

great list bro great list

For me the most sorrowful experience I've had when it comes to animation has to be Meruem and Komugi's death from Hunter x Hunter. That broke me up. What made it so much more impactful is the fact that Meruem was "the bad guy", yet you still feel for him and innocent Komugi, who just wanted to play a board game with him in his last moments. You should go watch Hunter x Hunter, Saber-- well worth your time.

aka top 10 anime deaths

I haven't cried this much for a long time ;-; Great video Saber.

Whew. I had to take a break watching this. Not many times you can bring me to tears.

Please Can you make a video "Why The Good Dinosaur failed ? " ?

Attack on Titan? The show where the characters have as much personality as a rock? Yeah, really cried when people started dying in the show.

Top ten "dealing with death" speeches. Old Rooter's words are legendary.

>expected him to use that Boyz II Men song for combat carl >uses Dead Island's trailer music Ah, a man of taste.

Wow, the top 2 are also the deaths that touched me the most. Little Foot's mum made me cry so much as a kid, and Carla's death scene still gives me chills when rewatching it.

2:17 doest the sounds familiar. is it like that robot from adventure time

That scene where Carl is just...sat there. It fucking kills me. I was tearing up at that just watching this list.

*"I'm not dying Evangeline, I'm becoming a legend..."*

10. Lulu, take care of Lulu 9. Superman 8. Hiccup! 7. AAAAAAGGGGGH! 6. *whine* 5. crooked tie 4. Goodbye Seymoeur 3. Someone help! Help her! 2. Don't go.... 1. Let you're hear.... guide you

Man crunchyroll doesn't have too much good anime .But have you seen mob pyschoo from the creator of one punch man ?

This was quite a good list of tragic deaths with interesting reasons why they were chosen and the one that resonated with me the most of being the most tragic was the opening in Up

Ellie's death, upon first seeing _Up_ in theaters, really blindsided me and I found myself unable to see through my tears, barely 5 minutes into the movie. Nothing Pixar has made afterwards has been able to do that to me, though Disney themselves got me all choked up and almost crying over Tadashi in Big Hero 6.

To this day, I still can't make it through that Futurama scene. Had to tab out and mute the video.

When you realize mufasa was killed by a black lion

I was watching you counting down, and my hopes for some Land Before Time Recognition was dwindling, but you made it #1. Bravo, sir. :'(

Damn it Saberspark you made me cry!!

fun-fact: the titan that eat eren's mother is eren's step-mother

you didnt even choose anything from JoJo? Your entire list is now invalid unti it is revised with JoJo

this was a great list.

I cried during the Full Metal Alchemist one. Thing is I hardly cry during most of these sad scenes. I didn't even cry during Up, but for some reason Nina's death was just heart wrenching for me.

NINAAAAAAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

why is the overrated eren's mother death so high? I though it would be included at least in honorable mentions or something like that

The death in animation that impacted me the most was not in an animation itself, but the death of an animator. I am referring to Edd Gould, the creator and former lead animator of the popular web cartoon Eddsworld. He died of cancer in 2012. He is one of my biggest inspirations; Eddsworld is the reason I want to start animating. Even though Edd is gone, his world will keep on spinning.

Dammit saberspark I was not prepared, that littlefoot scene allways get me ;_;
