For whatever reason, a character is moved. But this person is made of strong stuff: They are beyond blubbering and won't turn on the water works. They dammed up the Sparkling Stream of Tears and had their Ocular Gushers surgically removed. And they promised themself! They are not going to cry. Well, maybe just one drop. A Single Tear happens any time somebody cries only one teardrop. If a being is generally incapable of crying, this is a sign that they are genuinely upset. The tear can be shed for anything, from patriotism to pollution, but the more traumatic, the better. Compare with Manly Tears, which can often overlap with this. As can Beautiful Tears, if the crying is considered nice-looking. And Tears of Awe, if the crying is seeing something jaw-droppingly amazing. One reason for this is that it's difficult even for actors to cry on command, so filmmakers sometimes use an eyedropper to put liquid in the actor's eyes just before a crying scene. Of course, you can only squeeze so much water out before the next take, leading to this. Also shows up frequently in animation, because it's easier to animate. It's actually older than film, though: Dante mentions it in The Divine Comedy. Not quite a Discredited Trope; lots of examples are parodies, but there are still many, many works that play it straight. Examples |

Clone High Abe cries one single tear after he screens his thinly-veiled autobiographical film, "It Takes a Hero." He even comments on it. Clone High parodies the single tear thing a lot; the one minute opening sequence alone has five, while episodes will have at least one character shedding one of these. |

From Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+, after Sora fights Roxas and beats him, an extra cutscene not found in Kingdom Hearts II initiates, with Roxas and Axel on the clocktower in Twilight Town. At the end of the cutscene, Roxas says he has to go back to Sora, Axel and Roxas say their goodbyes, and a single teardrop is shown falling and disappearing. There was no indication of the person who cried, whether Roxas cried again, or if Axel, also a Nobody, is the one who cried. If you look closely at the video, you can see that is in fact Axel |

Not quite this trope, but in The Simpsons episode "Bart Gets an F", the creators had difficulty stopping the animators from creating Ocular Gushers, so they gave instructions saying something like, "Bart cries a single tear." The end result is Bart shedding a series of single tears in succession, which is much more distressing to watch than what they were probably going for. The trope is played straight in the show's first episode, in which Homer cries a single tear, due to being ashamed of the cheap gifts he purchased for his family. Mr Burns of all characters sheds a single tear at the beginning of "Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk," due to feeling depressed over his job sucking away any time to pursue any additional interests of his. In "Homer at the Bat", the kids are heckling Darryl Strawberry from the bleachers and Marge tells then off. They assure her he's a professional who wouldn't take it personally — Description Cut to Strawberry wiping away a single forlorn tear. |

One person in Liverpool also sheds a single tear as they watch the titular submarine pass by. | |

As mentioned above, it pops in Dante's The Divine Comedy, specifically in the first few cantos of Purgatorio. There is a soldier mentioned who is a brutal, bloody bastard his whole life, but when he is struck down in battle he cries a single tear of repentance, which is enough to send him to Purgatory instead of Hell. | |

He hugs her and tells her he wants to be there for her (which is the least he could do, considering that it's their affair that led to this). Cue the show's favourite close-up shot of the doctor's gorgeous eyes, and one tear flowing down her face. | |

In Cry-Baby this is not only lampshaded, but tied to the protagonist's Freudian Excuse. Both of his parents were murderers who got sent to the electric chair and he breaks the law every now and then to honor their memory. He states that he'll cry for having to do evil, but one salty tear is all anyone will ever get out of him. | |

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie: Mr Krabs, who's been magically frozen by King Neptune, sheds one when Plankton steals his secret Krabby Patty formula, which itself freezes and falls to the floor. SpongeBob and Patrick each shed a tear as they're being dried out under a desk lamp, both of which combine to form a heart. The resulting tear ends up sliding down the lamp cord and into the electrical outlet, causing a short that releases smoke that activates the overhead emergency showers, which brings them and the rest of the gift shop back to life. |

X-Men: First Class: Xavier wipes a single tear from his cheek after he uncovers a happy memory from Erik's childhood involving the latter's mother with his telepathy. Despite living a much more comfortable and privileged life than his friend, the one beautiful thing that Charles never got to experience is a mother's warm affection. In the same scene, a visible tear falls down Erik's face because he didn't know he still carried that cherished memory of his mother. After Charles gets shot, he only sheds one noticeable tear which is partly because of his injury, but mostly because he is forced to tell Erik that no, they really do not want the same thing, and knows that this realisation will push his friend away for good. |

In The Nostalgia Critic Top 11 Coolest Cliches list, this is one, although it's under the title of "Sexy Cry" and the fact that there are unsexy examples wasn't addressed as much. He does it a few times, such as seeing Tom and Jerry singing and dancing about how they are best friends in The Movie, and showing that Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) is a better done series than Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Played for Laughs in his review of The Legend of the Titanic: |

Echoed in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots during his own death scene, once again at the grave site of The Boss. He sheds a single tear as he tells his son to live for his own sake and enjoy the freedom from the servitude of a soldier, and as he thinks back to The Boss's last words to him before her death, 50 years ago. | |

X-Men Film Series: X2: X-Men United: Professor X sheds a single tear of joy when he's able to stand again on his own—but then he quickly realizes that he's in a Lotus-Eater Machine and tries to resist Jason Stryker's ability. X-Men Origins: Wolverine has Kayla doing this when Wolverine discovered she is blackmailed into working for Stryker, making him muse the folktale that he is just a fool who got played. X-Men: First Class: Xavier wipes a single tear from his cheek after he uncovers a happy memory from Erik's childhood involving the latter's mother with his telepathy. Despite living a much more comfortable and privileged life than his friend, the one beautiful thing that Charles never got to experience is a mother's warm affection. In the same scene, a visible tear falls down Erik's face because he didn't know he still carried that cherished memory of his mother. After Charles gets shot, he only sheds one noticeable tear which is partly because of his injury, but mostly because he is forced to tell Erik that no, they really do not want the same thing, and knows that this realisation will push his friend away for good. X-Men: Apocalypse: Magneto sheds a lone tear when he remembers the close friendship he once had with Charles. |

In the film version of Bell, Book and Candle, when Gillian's familiar Pyewacket is running away from her and she runs into the street, a tear starts running down one side of her face, which is significant because witches aren't supposed to be able to cry. A subsequent cut shows that she has been crying for some time, but it's the close-up of Kim Novak's face that counts. | |

Invoked and mocked in World War Z: at the height of the zombie crisis in which every nation has been overrun to some degree, what remains of the UN is interrupted with a big speech from the US President declaring their intent to go on the offensive. The interviewee regaling us with this says if this were some bullshit yankee movie, they'd all break into slowly-building rapturous applause with the camera focusing on a Single Tear going down someone's face. None of that happens, and instead the UN breaks out into an argument. | |

One Piece: Whitebeard. The strongest man in the world sheds a tear at the death of Ace. Genzo sheds a single tear when he hugs Nami and tells her that the whole village knew her secret all along. It should be noted that instances of this trope are extremely rare in One Piece, as the series prefers to go the exact opposite route. In the One Piece film, One Piece Film: Z, of all people, the hardened Doberman sheds a tear during Z's final moments, seeing how Z was once his mentor. |

Futurama Happens when Fry is trying to choose between saving Bender and Leela versus drinking a trough of Slurm, with him crying a single tear into the Slurm. Naturally, his friends think they're pretty screwed. Also the episode where he drinks the leader of a planet of water people and has to cry him out. Believing Leela to be dead, is only able to muster a single tear. After she's revealed to be alive, everyone proceeds to beat the tears out of him. Happens again when Leela gets plastic surgery to make it look like she has two eyes. Upon looking into a mirror and realizing that she looks normal, she sheds a single tear. The surgeon exclaims "Woops! Looks like we got some leakage. Let me just cauterize that for you." Cue a painful scream from Leela. |

From Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Terra when Master Eraqus dies and Aqua during the Say My Name segment of the secret ending. Quite the Tear Jerker in both cases, although the latter example is more hopeful. Also Sora once he starts feeling Ventus' heart and taking it in, and thus starts feeling by magic heart-to-heart empathy what any sane person would feel after that ending. Notably, since Sora's feeling it by proxy, he doesn't even know why he's letting out that single tear. | |

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater The ending, wherein Snake sheds a singular tear at the grave of The Boss, his teacher and "mother", whom he was forced by politics to kill. Notable here is that, unlike many other characters that cry a single tear for whatever reason despite having both eyes in perfect working order, Snake has the excuse of having one eye fried by muzzle flash and the tear ducts around it damaged. Echoed in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots during his own death scene, once again at the grave site of The Boss. He sheds a single tear as he tells his son to live for his own sake and enjoy the freedom from the servitude of a soldier, and as he thinks back to The Boss's last words to him before her death, 50 years ago. Also, The Sorrow. Though that's because he got shot in that eye. |

The Legend of Korra: One of the most heartwrenching moments in the series comes when Amon, of all people, pulls this trope. It's left vague whether it was because he was happy about starting a new life with his brother, regret for his actions - particularly robbing his own brother of his bending - or because he knew what Tarrlok was going to do and accepted it. More than likely, it was a combination of these and/or other emotions that led to that moment. And then Korra herself at the end of Season 3, when Jinora gets her tattoos. |

Almost all of the flashback scenes in Inheritance Cycle involve a single shining tear. This one happens so frequently that Anti-Shur'tugal, an anti-fan's website's tagline was, "where we shed many single tears." | |

Shadow Man in Mega Man Megamix, a Darker and Edgier Adaptation Expansion of the Mega Man (Classic) games, starts laughing and is finally shown to shed a single tear when he realizes that his home has been destroyed, all the other Wily Numbers have been massacred and he wasn't even able to die an honorable death in battle with them since he had to get Dr. Wily to safety. It's especially dramatic since until now this character has been The Stoic and his reaction to the death of Copy-Rock was to vow revenge. | |

The Lord of the Rings After Gandalf dies in The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo does this. (A while after. He's sort of a screaming sobbing wreck for a while.) A straighter example would be Gandalf himself in The Return of the King when he sees the Dark Tower tumbling down. Also Aragorn when Boromir dies. Manly Tears, indeed. Wormtongue sheds one when he sees the army of Uruk-hai in The Two Towers. |

In King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow, if you challenge the Lord of the Dead for the sake of two mortal souls, he defies Prince Alexander to make him cry. Alexander can do so by showing him the Mirror of Truth, which displays his own terrible history, to the point that the mirror itself shatters from the strain — and Death sheds a single tear. That suffices for the challenge. | |
