So I was tagged this by kaiishida NaruhodouKadoya shoguninfinite so here goes nothing *has tissues nearby for the tears*

5) Neji Hyuga

During the great ninja war Naruto and the rest of the ninja had a long and hard battle against Obito and Madara and as it progressed many would be injured badly...then as Hinata was about to be struck down Neji pushed her out of the way and took the fatal blow for her to protect her and with his dying words helped Naruto to fight on which was sad because of the way he was developed in the series and how he died protecting Hinata and helping Naruto keep his resolve.

4) Konno Yuuki

Konno Yuuki was a girl who in the remade Sword Art Online was said to be one of the best swordswomen able to beat even the oh so mighty protagonist Kirito who had due wielding (not only that he said if she was in the original SAO she would of gotten the skill and not him XD) and after a battle with Asuna she became good friends with her. Then it was later found out she had a disease and was strapped to a machine with SAO being the only world she could explore and she didn't have much time left. After finding this out Asuna helped to recreate a normal life for her to live and after their final goodbyes she died. It was sad considering the development to it and how all she wanted was a normal life.

(A/N *prepares the tissues* The top 3 that I'm about to mention had actually brought me to tears and still do remembering. Judge if you want but thats how it is)

3) Nagisa Furukawa

I have watched Clannad from beginning to end. I loved the story, when I was watching the first season it was nice seeing how the main character Tomoya Okazaki forms a strong bond with Nagisa Furukawa, they formed the drama club together, they lived together and they loved each other so much. Then came the struggles...when Nagisa was pregnant and expecting to give birth soon she fell ill from her mysterious illness that she had as a child, it made the child birth have many risk if she were to do a home birth like she wanted and even though they decided to have the baby at the hospital she went into labour earlier than expected and the roads were backed up so they couldn't go to hospital...some time later Nagisa had the baby....but in the process because she was so weak still ill she....died not long after giving birth to her daughter which made her family and husband cry. Seeing this moment had caused me to cry too seeing her pass on after having her child because of her illness

2) Ushio Furukawa

Nagisa's daughter Ushio who was still very young and had lived a portion of her life without her father due to him distancing himself from her due to sadness at the loss of his wife Nagisa, but soon they had reformed a bond after going on a trip to a place where Tomoya went with his father when he was a child. From that time after the trip and a heart warming moment between the two they started to live together with Tomoya taking the responsibility of raising her as her father...but then Ushio started to fall ill like her mother had with it making her very weak. On a cold and snowy day Ushio although bed ridden barely able to do anything at all wanted to go on another trip with her father wanting to bond with him more. Although not wanting to so she could rest Tomoya eventually agreed and headed out for another trip with Ushio....as they began to walk on the snow ridden path it began to snow again and as they went further Ushio grew weaker and weaker from her illness and...thinking they were on the train when they weren't even close....she died in her fathers arms. I was crying seeing the moment she died since all she wanted to do was go on another trip with her father and she was so young...it was one of the few moments that could bring me to tears in an anime.

1) Chiaki Nanami

Chiaki Nanami....she was a great character in my opinion playing video games and as Danganronpa 3 went on we saw that she started out isolated for the most part from the rest of the class but soon began to bond with her classmates doing things like playing games together and having fun always smiling and she even became the class representative but not only that she became their beacon of hope....but that made her a target for the girl that turned her classmates into the Remnants of Despair, Junko Enoshima. After being lead to a chamber by her teacher Chisa Yukizome the punishment game...no the original punishment game for her began...she went through a labyrinth being bombarded with traps and other traps having one of her arms hurt, her right eye covered by blood, her foot stabbed by spikes and her leg hit with a javelin...she went through all that pain for the sake of reuniting with her classmates who she cared for deeply and as she came to the 'goal'....she opened the door to see her teacher and her classmates...but it was all a lie as she was stabbed by all sides by multiple spikes...it was made even more sad as Izuru Kamakura (Aka Hajime Hinata) finds her on the floor in a pool of her own blood...she was still alive and in her final moments she tried to have him remember his old self..trying to stand to hold him struggling and soon after had finally died..I cried and was left speechless seeing how she died since she was such a sweet and kind character and only wanted to see her classmates again and have fun with them like they did before and was the symbol of hope for the whole class...even one of my favourite YouTuber's NicoB seeing her death was left speechless and broke down in tears

Well that was long...so those are the saddest anime deaths and I put a surprising amount of detail into this one...well to end off I'll tag YudaiMatsuro Kissies4Candy and ScarletFlames1 you don't need to do this tag if you don't want to and to end off with my usual phrase lets all continue to live in this golden age together
