Rob and Catelyn Stark in the Red Wedding. So traumatizing!
Grave of fireflies. Just... Yeah.

Jackie Wells. Damn that broke me up; the whole buildup in Act1 to that scene was so artfully done. So immersed. Really felt like I lost my anchor and best friend in that fucked up life.
I’ll ride his Arch til the day I can’t. Not a scratch.

Riding a vehicle without ever letting it get a scratch in Cyberpunk 2077 is quite impressive. I think I "scratched" Jackie's bike in under a minute when I got it in my first playthrough.
It’s a metaphor. :) Pretty sure I wrecked it completely within a few minutes lol. But the auto-insurance, what’s it like $50 eddies? covers the not a scratch part.
Dexter: when his wife gets killed and they pan over to that shot of her in the bathtub i literally threw my mouse against the wall.
I'm watching Outlander for the first time, just finished the first season and I can't fucking wait for Jonathan Randall to die (if he does). I haven't hated a character this much since Joffrey in GoT, and I feel even he wasn't as bad as Jonathan Randall. Tobias Menzies is seriously great at playing psychotic, disgusting and pathetic characters.
2B from Nier: Automata...

I think, due to lack of diagnosis and medication, plus age - I was barely double digits - Aeris/Aerith in FF7.
I had no spoilers. And it wasn't so much the death itself, it was the fact that I had fucking FARMED shit for her. She's healer coded? I already had a history with RPGs, and healers are worth their weight in gold.
I think all that time and effort invested really solidified it.
Also, I had phoenix downs. WTF?
The 'dead' status is more properly 'unconscious' in Final Fantasy games, and is sometimes actually translated that way. FF5 even has a scene where they try using phoenix downs on a genuinely dead character and it doesn't work.
Ka'Dargo in "Farscape Peacekeeper War". They were on their way for Moya to pick them up. The worst of the fighting was over and BAM.
At least he went out as a warrior.
Athelstan from Vikings.

the dog Searchlight dies in the end, and it fucking killed me as a child when I read this
Oh boy, I've cried a lot for Guido from La vita è bella, Setsuko+Seita from Hotaru no Haka, Chrono from Chrono Trigger, Ace from One Piece and after a time I just started thinking and talking with some friends or my sister about those movies/game/series.
Richard Gere in Hachi.

Storm light archive has a tough one.

Dereks death was super heavy. But the COVID fever dreams were cathartic.
Just like Jesus, He didn't even really die. He went away for a few days and on the third day he rose again so that all may follow him and enjoy everlasting life.

Mari's death and how it happened - I still feel pressure on my chest whenever I think about it. Since a missclick lead me accidentally to the alternative ending at first, it was even worse...
