(Poll) Saddest death in the animes

Who made you shed the most tears when they died?

If the death of that character is not on the list, then reply instead if you wanna vote.
Have a nice day!

Akatora is one of my favorite deaths, but I wouldn't call it all that sad? I think John and Benizakura were the most emotional, but something about Beni's death especially gets me. Maybe it's the sakura flower in the water at the end? IDK.

Nothing will make me cry harder than John's death in this series. How hard he had to put up the torturing and even told Sasuke and Hook to not come out to help him u_u Accepting this as his end for the sake of saving lives... And then getting to talk to Weed before he dies... and his last words.. Q_Q Just all of it is so much... Not to mention, the blind, senile Ben delivering his body to be buried is seriously so beautiful...


Teru's dad being an option... I know some people want to forgive him, and I won't stop anyone, but it's just.. too impossible for me. xD;
For those who know My Hero Academia, Teru's dad makes me think of a worse developed Endeavor (not literally, but close enough). I don't forgive Endeavor for his abuse and basically forced marriage and r*pe, but when he decided to try making up for his crimes, he came to that conclusion himself. I don't forgive him and like him in the slightest, but him choosing to try was his choice without people's intervention.
Teru's dad, on the other hand, had to be pressured by a large group of people to save his son. He was literally RUNNING away from the scene when it was getting bad, but Hiro just happened to get in the way. I don't view his pleads as genuine. They felt like "Please son, tell me you forgive me so I won't have to die for nothing." Surprisingly, he died not hearing it, but to plead for having to be a dad for once in his life is just... too scummy to cry over his death for to me.

Teru's dad was overall sad. Now, I didn't shed any tears, I hardly ever do that, but Teru's dad at least made me feel. That's why I included him here, to see if someone actually thought that his death was really sad.
Have a nice day!

The flower was really a nice touch (I'm not sure if i am recalling correctly, but doesn't Benizakura mean Red cherry blossoms? If I recall correctly, then his death was an absolute masterpiece! Well done Takahashi!). It really got me.

Definitely John! And possibly Jerome as well but he didn't die in the Manga so it's kinda less sad so I voted John.

I heard that happened before I saw it and still cried lots but I was more effected by it watching the anime than in the manga. Don't know why, guess I do better with animation than comics.

Personally, I think Smith's death is sadder in the anime than in the manga as we spend more time with him than in the manga where he didn't actually join Weed and GB
I did a Ginga dog horoscope and according my calculations, I am most like Gin! Am I lucky?

I took one of those 'Which character are you?' tests, one which happened to be Ginga related and it said I would
be most like Tesshin! I feel quite honoured!

Smith's death was sad, it just happened to soon for me to feel anything sadly, but I did have a few emotions inside that was flowing around. And yes, John is by FAR the saddest death! He was one of my favorites from GNG.
Have a nice day!

For me it's John. He is my favorite and that's why I was really sad when he died in a really cruel way. He always put others first than himself.. It was not fun to watch him die like this..

And also Riki, he fought in the last breath. Huge respect to him.

I would say that Teu's dad is the dark horse here. I voted for John too, but Teru's dad redeemed himself:)

Riki is probably the saddest death in the animes to me because his chance to spend quality time with his son after regaining his memories was taken away.

Benizakura, I'd say. However, I feel as though Smith's death is pretty sad too considering his sacrifice amounted to nothing if I'm remembering correctly.
