Anime most tragic deaths

I actually wanted to make amazing One Piece moments or something, but the archieve of earlier chapters are missing.. "cough, cough" banned.. So this is something I made up in short notice. Deaths in anime usually means nothing, Bleach has a bunch of people dead / dying almost every chapter, but do it right it can be memorable or even emotional.

Still has the "something is wrong feeling though"

So the deaths:

9. Aji Tae (Shin Angyo Onshi)

I think I said this before, but it needs rehearse for its stupidity. Aji Tae was like Aizen, too powerful and overrated. His signature move was "You are dead, I'm not even touching you. MWAHAHAHAH" So how did one like that could possibly got killed. Well the main character, Munsu, step on his robe. I shit you not, it's not stun spell, amazing techinque or secret weapon. He just flipped and didn't realize he couldn't move..

... this happened...

At least he got offed by hot chick..

8. Portgas D Ace (One Piece)

Death of Ace was given. Oda had hinted from his battle with Blakbeard that he would changed the era forever. What better way of delivering that with a memorable death. His death was needed, it couldn't happened any other way, just the thought of him surviving is a betrayal on the anime. So he checked out protecting his brother. Ace was one of the support character that could pulled this off. He only appeared for short period, but was memorable. A testament of Oda's writing skill.

We knew it had to came down to this..

7. Envy (Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

Envy was one of the antagonist whose dead actually tragic and emotional. The thing about Envy was he's persistent. Many times he almost died, but always seemed to survived because he's resourceful or lucky. He was arrogant, but yhat changed after he met Roy Mustang. Man, did anyone ever got his ass kicked. He was absolutely outclassed physically. He tried some mind tricks but even that didn't work. In his true worm like form, he was protected by Ed Elric. Ed even tried to comfort him. The more he struggled, the more pitiful he became. Couldn't bear the shame, he offed himself.

True to his name..

6. Teresa of The Faint Smile (Claymore)

One word to describe Claymore is "tragic". The whole anime is one madesu trial after another. One of the best example is Teresa. She was the big sister figure of the main character, Clare. She was absolute beast, ranked Number One. When she went rogue, Number Two until Five were summoned, each with their own speciality. She outclassed them, all four of them and even spared their lives. She was on her way to "Most Badass Female" note but somewhere along the line she took detour to this note.

The once Number Two, Priscillia didn't take the loss very well and awakened.. It's the equivalent of taking too much steroids in Claymore verse. Even then Teresa was still owning. Then came the biggest mistake and probably upset in anime. She showed mercy, Priscilia begged and she took the bait and....

... this happened..

The whole thing took 7 seconds in anime and just 2 pages in manga. It's in the list because the surprise factor and for what its worth, this set-up Priscillia as the perfect antagonist.

5. Bellemere (One Piece)

Yes turn out there is actually One Piece archieve.. Whatever I already half done here.. -.-..

Bellemere is the epitome of kindness. She's the adoptive mother of Nami and Nojiko. She's basically a normal woman. Nami and Nojiko needed her and she needed them as well. It's just a portray of normal family. One day Arlong came by and demanded "protection money" for all head. Nami and Noriko hid, but almost found by Arlong's men. Instead of denying them, she actually openly admitted that they are her children even in the face of death. This flashback was one of the best anime can offer.

I can't find the scene.. It seems to be censored, this will have to do..

To be continue..
