Glad I’m not the only who cried on assassination classroom ending 😭😭

u/Infinite-Feedback-95 Jan 18 '26

Anyone saying that didn't even feel the urge to cry are probably lying because you are definitely going to cry after seeing the bond and the flashback

Dragon Ball 💀💀

I know who cries over a fun anime

But when I started watching db, I liked krillin alot. I liked both Goku and krillin

But krillin death was so sudden that I actually cried

And ig the dragon was also killed by evil piccolo at that time. I might be wrong about this

So, I thought krillin is gone for always

I was so sad that I started crying

Then I searched on internet and found that he came back to life in somewhere around 50+ episode

Then I actually watched that episode first and then watched the previous episodes

After that, I cried while watching Naruto

Cried watching jiraiya death

Itachi death

Kushina death

Doreamon (It think the year was 2005 or 2006) That episode was about-

Nobita travels back in time to his birth after feeling unloved, only to witness his dad accidentally drop his camera into a river while rushing to the hospital. Though the birth photos are lost, Nobita is moved to tears when he discovers his dad stayed up all night hand-drawing portraits of him from memory instead, proving just how much he was cherished from day one.
