- The Grand Finale of the first season of Magic Knight Rayearth is a most definitely heartwrenching scene.
- The second season's own finale is even worse. Voice actors for all versions (including the original Japanese version) were reputedly driven to tears. If it can affect the cast like that, think about what it could do to the viewers...
- It may sound strange to read here, but Hikaru's face when she has only a piece of her favorite candy to offer as payment for weapons becomes this and a Crowning Moment Of Heartwearming.
- Presea's death in the anime also counts, regardless of which language it's presented in. Plus everything surrounding her anime-only Angsty Surviving Twin Sierra.
- Same goes to Alcyone. In fact, many things regarding her in the late second count here: she did survive her first season ordeals and initially presented herself as a villainous bitch, but when she's captured by the Cephireans one gets to see how badly damaged the poor woman has been due to all the Brainwashing that Debonair has put her through.
- The circumstance that causes Hikaru's weapon to evolve in episode 8 of the anime when she's forced to kill an animal she had befriended. Even the usual music used for the Theme Music Power-Up takes on new meaning during that same scene.
