You can fix just about anything by merely dropping a tear on it, or sometimes a few: People turned to stone (or anything at all)? Cry on it. People hurt badly? Cry on it. People being in a coma or deep sleep? Cry on it. People being controlled? Cry on it. People dead? Cry on it. It must be the tear actually having an effect, all the better if you can see it spread from the point of impact. Very often comes in the form of a Single Tear. Interestingly, there is some truth in this: tears contain lysozymes, an enzyme that attacks certain kinds of bacteria. And Now You Know. A close relative of True Love's Kiss and The Power of Love. May be crystallized when they go from Body to Jewel. In most cases, overlaps with Heal It with Water and Fantastic Medicinal Bodily Product. |

Three examples in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess; the Tears of Light, which are used to give the Light Spirits back their powers, the Great Fairy tears Link can drink to heal him and increase his strength, and Midna using her magic tear to shatter the Mirror of Twilight before returning to her own world and separating both her and Link's world. That last one involves regular tears as well. Midna's magic tear carries over to her true form's appearance in Hyrule Warriors, where she can use it to shatter reality. |

Deconstructed by Kanon. Mai Kawasumi cures her mother with her tears, and people eventually learn that her tears have the ability to rejuvenate anything, even after it has died. Unfortunately, since she's living in a modern setting, she gets swept up in a media circus that publicizes her powers, is persecuted by the people around her for being different, and is eventually forced to leave her town. | |

Ranma ½ To make a youth potion for himself, Happosai needs one more ingredient: the tears of a beast that is both male and female. The rest of the chapter involves him chasing Ranma around with onions and tear gas. The Nanban Mirror is a magic mirror that can transport someone to a desired time (and place) and requires teardrops to activate it. They don't need to be emotional tears, though. |

This trope was the origin story for the 1980s doll line Rose Petal Place. The resident family of a Victorian-style house moved away, and the little girl took one last stroll through its garden, weeping, before they left. Her tears changed some of the flowers into little maidens, and their houses, cars, etc. were similarly transformed toys and gardening implements. Each doll/accessory was thus marked with a "crystal" tear. Apparently, the magic was neutral, because it also transformed a spider into Nastina, Rose-Petal's Arch-Enemy. When Nastina killed her in the first of two animated TV specials by locking her in a room with almost no light (deadly for a flower woman), the tears of Rose-Petal's friends landed on her crystal, bringing her back to life. | |

Disney seems to like this trope. Belle brings back the Beast by weeping over him in Beauty and the Beast. In Fantasia 2000, at the end of the firebird sequence when the forest was burned, the sprite's tears made the grass grow back. Though the sprite had to use her magic to make the rest of the trees, flowers, and grasses grow back before she disappeared. Parodied in Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch. After they are too late to save Stitch from his malfunction and he shuts down, Lilo's tear brings him back to life. It's parodied by the fact that Pleakley asks Jumba for the scientific explanation. Jumba proudly states (as if he knew any other way to state things) that there is no possible scientific explanation, declares it a miracle, and celebrates. Bambi II, the Great Prince sheds a Manly Tear for his injured son, who is quickly revived. In Tangled, Rapunzel brings Flynn/Eugene back to life with her tears. Her magical hair was gone, but the magic was still inside of her. Frozen is a notable aversion, since the movie is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, and stories based on that often use this trope because the original does. In this story, an Act of True Love is the only thing that can save Anna from being frozen solid. It's implied that Anna protecting her sister through sacrificing her own life is what melts Anna's frozen heart and breaks the curse. |

In Season 3 of Winx Club, Stella had been turned into a monster and her friends have to get to the mirror of truth to break the spell. It didn't break the spell on its own but then Stella's tears touched the mirror and it shattered into a lake and after she got a gift from Brandon, Stella was touched and her other tear landed on the lake and changed her back into a human. Love changed her back and it was expressed through her tears. | |

Subverted and downplayed in Cookie Run Kingdom. Cotton loses her friend Sherbet to a terminal illness, and cries over the spot where his body once was (as it disappeared as he died). The tears don't bring Sherbet back to life, but it instead enables him to have the strength to turn into a spirit that, to this day, still watches over Cotton, even over 50 years later, without her knowledge. | |

Classic Disney Shorts: The short "Goofy and Wilbur" center on Goofy and his pet grasshopper Wilbur as they go fishing, with Wilbur willingly acting as bait. However, one such venture results in him being swallowed by a frog. As Goofy chases the frog, it inadvertently gets swallowed by a stork, which then lays an egg before flying off. Goofy - alone with the egg - laments losing Wilbur and wails that there'll never be another one like him. His tears fall on the egg and seemingly cause it to hatch into Wilbur, safe and sound. However, like with Once Upon a Forest and Amphibia, it may just be a matter of timing. | |

The tear trickles down his cheek and lands on Astronema's face, reviving her. It's widely believed to be a delayed reaction to Zordon's purification wave. In an episode of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, Karone comes across a warrior she fought and turned to stone back when she was Astronema, and she cries on him, restoring him. This must be a magical power for the residents of KO-35. In Power Rangers S.P.D., a tear is responsible for allowing a nasty bad guy to escape... sorta. (He could travel through reflective surfaces. Naturally, nothing remotely shiny was allowed near his prison, but one Hannibal Lecture to Sky later, there's a Manly Tear...) |

In episode five of Tales from the Borderlands, Rhys tries to drop some of his tears onto a mortally wounded Sasha, but since the scene is a genuine Tear Jerker, this trope is played as a Deconstructive Parody, making an already tender scene bittersweet in a way that makes you sadly chuckle. | |

In The Fairly Oddparents special Fairy Idol, when Norm the Genie crosses the Moral Event Horizon by brutally crushing Cosmo and Wanda with a giant wrecking ball, Timmy ends up in tears, depressed at how crappily he had treated him earlier in the special, prompting them, in their full body casts, to float up to the air, as if to demonstrate a straight example of this trope, only to end up becoming a subversion when they disintegrate into fairy dust. Even THEN, though, they reveal themselves to have already gotten better by themselves, thus double subverting this trope. | |

In Doraemon: Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil, it was Shizuka's tears dropping on Doraemon's pockets which awaken the tied up Buggy, prompting Buggy to forcefully eject himself from Doraemon's pocket and make a beeline into destroying the main villain.

Care Bears (1980s), No Heart creates a raincloud that washes away one's color. When the Care Bears and one of the humans confronted him, the rain wound up hitting Wish Bear. Dale, the human boy she was protecting, cried on her, and his tear hit her tummy symbol, undoing the effects and allowing her to break the impasse. Hugs and Tugs fake having a chicken-pox-like disease. When they clean themselves up and try telling Grams Bear, she sees them and think that the disease is in its second stage, at which point only a teardrop from the Big Bad can provide the cure. |

In The Binding of Isaac, Isaac's tears are his main weapon. Various items can give his tears the ability to, among other things, poison enemies, set things on fire, home in on enemies, go through walls, petrify enemies, and even temporarily make enemies fight for you. And these abilities stack on top of each other, meaning by the time you reach the endgame Isaac may be crying flaming homing poisonous intangible enemy taming tears. | |

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja: In one scene that brought Dr McNinja to a tear, he immediately pulls out a vial and bottles the tear (It's a one-off gag and the tear is never seen to be used).

Her goal is to reclaim her lost powers. This culminates with the cast involved in a literal tug of war with Magica (Who has seized Lena by the neck.) Even forming a chain does little to help, until Webby's tears land on Lena. | |

In the Xanth novel Yon Ill Wind, Demon X(A/N)^th (yes, his name is a mathematical formula) makes a complicated bet that can only be won by getting the first Xanth resident he meets to shed a tear for him. (If he loses the bet, Xanth itself will be destroyed — or lose its magic, which is as close as makes no difference.) Unfortunately, said resident turns out to be Chlorine, who has already cried all the tears she has but one and would go blind if she shed that last one. She does, he wins, and Xanth is saved. | |

In the Dungeons & Dragons third edition evil sourcebook, The Book of Vile Darkness, crystallized angel tears count as minor artifacts. When collected using the proper ritual in places where celestials have felt great sorrow or pain (or harvested from a captive angel Forced to Watch horrifically evil deeds), the tears can be fired from slings or thrown as Unholy Hand Grenades. | |

The trope is discussed before eventually being subverted in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. After Yamada is seemingly killed, Asahina cries over his body, with Naegi musing that if this were a fantasy story, her tears would bring him back to life. Then the victim wakes up, turning out to be Not Quite Dead, but still has no hope of salvation, and dies for real seconds later after naming the killer. | |

In Steven Universe, Rose Quartz had this ability, and when Amethyst's gem is cracked in "An Indirect Kiss", Steven tries to access the same power to heal her while the others try to reactivate Rose's magic crying fountain. The end of the episode reveals that Steven doesn't have healing tears, but does have healing spit. However, much later during the episode "Off Colors", Steven's tears are able to resurrect Lars and give him the same powers and pink color that Lion has. Even later, in the Steven Universe: Future episode "Fragments", he uses his tears to heal Jasper, who he accidentally shattered. | |

However, he cannot reach him through the roots lining the lair. Thus, he resorts to tainting Peter's medicine with a poison he always carries with him. The poison is said to be produced from his tears when he was "weeping from the red of his eye". | |

Frozen is a notable aversion, since the movie is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, and stories based on that often use this trope because the original does. In this story, an Act of True Love is the only thing that can save Anna from being frozen solid. It's implied that Anna protecting her sister through sacrificing her own life is what melts Anna's frozen heart and breaks the curse. | |

Kahlan cries, and her tear falls on Richard, turning into another Stone of Tears. Power of Love, indeed. Despite the common usage of the trope, Richard isn't healed by the tear or the Stone; Cara revives him, and Zedd heals his eyesight. | |

In Once Upon a Forest, Michelle is still unconscious even after she receives the medicine; it is only Cornelius' tears that cause her to awaken. It could be argued that the medicine kicked in as Cornelius began to cry, and the trope was only evoked for Rule of Drama. | |

In the Futurama episode "My Three Suns", the solution to Fry drinking an emperor, an alien made up of liquid, is to have Fry cry out him out. After he has trouble making himself cry, the rest of the crew pretend Leela is being killed because of his actions. Until Leela arrives alive ruining this plan, but she beats up Fry to make him weep in pain. While Leela, and later the rest of the crew, are beating the crap out of him, he's still thanking them profusely. They continue beating on him after the Emperor has recovered. Even the Emperor himself thanks him for crying him out before beating him with a chair. | |

In Bartok the Magnificent, the witch Baba Yaga tells Bartok the Bat that the final ingredient she wants for her potion is something from himself. When Bartok pulls out his own hair, thinking that it's what she wanted, Baba laughs at him. This angers Bartok and makes him chew her out, saying that it's no wonder everyone hates her before he storms out of her house... only to hear Baba crying, come back, and apologize to her, crying in turn. This gives Baba the final ingredient she wanted: tears that came from Bartok's heart. She puts Bartok's tear in her cauldron and completes a potion to transform someone into becoming on the outside what they are on the inside. It turns the villain into a dragon. | |

His mother's tears, when they are reunited, return him to normal. Invoked in one of the Engine Sentai Go-onger when the red ranger thought it'll heal Speedor's rustiness from the Monster of the Week. Not only it didn't work, it even appeared to make Speedor more rusty than before. Also invoked in episode 4 of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, where Yumeria/AkibaYellow cries so that her tears can snap a supposedly brainwashed AkibaBlue out of an evil trance. There's just one problem: her helmet prevents her tears from working. |

It's parodied by the fact that Pleakley asks Jumba for the scientific explanation.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Anzu/Téa (as the Magician of Faith) cried in mourning for Jounouchi/Joey's sacrifice against Bakura and this activated her flip effect. As the Magician of Faith, she can move one magic card from her player's graveyard to his hand. Yami Yugi sheds a Single Tear in the Doma Arc while dueling Dartz after the latter tries to convince the already emotionally exhausted Pharaoh to surrender the duel. The tear then falls onto his Millenium Puzzle, causing it to glow brightly and repel the Seal of Orichalcos, which was about to close in on him and take his soul. |

Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: In Flying Island: The Sky Adventure episode 42, Wolffy tells Wilie a bedtime story where a princess's tears magically wake up a sleeping prince. Wolffy tells Wilie that this can only happen in fairy tales, not in real life. Later in the episode, Wolffy's tears splashing onto Wolnie and Wilie is what wakes them up from the effects of sleeping flower... or so Wolffy thinks. Turns out the flower's effects wear out by themselves eventually. | |

In Power Rangers S.P.D., a tear is responsible for allowing a nasty bad guy to escape... sorta. (He could travel through reflective surfaces. Naturally, nothing remotely shiny was allowed near his prison, but one Hannibal Lecture to Sky later, there's a Manly Tear...) | |

Pokémon: The Series: Toward the end of Pokémon: The First Movie, Ash is turned to stone in the crossfire between Mewtwo and Mew. Sparkling Streams of Tears from all of the Pokémon distraught by this resurrects him. The dub "explains" this early on through a story told by the pier master Miranda to the Pokémon trainers gathered at the pier. In a Kanto episode, we have The Power of Friendship variety. The tears made Koffing and Ekans realize their masters would love them whether they evolved or not—so they stopped being worried and evolved. Meowth suggested that their time to evolve just happened to be then. In a Johto episode, Ash and his group met a Cute Witch who needed to collect an Aipom's tear to finish a spell that would grant them the ability to understand Pokémon language. After chasing a wild Aipom around and making it cry with laughter, the witch performed the spell... and turned Ash into a Pikachu that understands what other Pokémon are saying. |

Ultraviolet (2006) has the heroine Violet weep over the prone body of the littlest plague carrier as he dies in her arms. However, being a hemophage, her tear infects him and turns him into a hemophage, thus giving him both immunity to the plague and a Healing Factor to reverse the damage. It takes her a while to realize her crying would have that effect though. | |

A couple of examples are shown in Once Upon a Time: In a second season episode, the good guys are searching for an MIA Regina and go to Gold for help. He is able to take one of Snow White's tears and mix it into a spell so that Snow sees and experiences what Regina is experiencing, allowing them to figure out where she is. In season four, Rumplestiltskin needs the tear of a person who was tempted by their inner darkness and turned away from it to break past the final enchantment and open the Sorcerer's Hat. A tear of broken love was used to trap Merlin in a tree and another tear of the same kind was later used to free him. Gideon uses the tears Emma cries into a napkin to keep Hook from coming back to Storybrooke. Her tears are also said to have powerful magic. |

Strawberry Shortcake: There is a GBA game titled "Strawberry Shortcake: Ice Cream Island Riding Camp". In this game, the lead character must find out why Ice Cream Island is experiencing tremors and flooding. Near the end of the game, Strawberry's butterfly friend Marmalade must carry her to the top of the Sundae Mountains to seek Raven, a raven who's the accomplice of the culprit. The way up is a maze in itself, with the option of using Raven's tears to restore the player's Life Meter...at least, partially. The reason for said tears comes from Raven's worry over his friend being stuck in a flood. | |

Amphibia: At the end of the big final battle of "All In", Marcy gets freed from being the host of the Core, but seemingly drops dead. Only after her friends Anne and Sasha have cried on her face she regains consciousness. Although, similar to the aforementioned Once Upon a Forest example, in-universe it's very likely just a matter of timing, but the trope was definitely alluded to for dramatic effect. | |

When she melted after Sabrina left her next to an iron she left on, Sabrina cried on her and she turned back. Her Aunts then run in and tell her that they finally found out that Sabrina can turn her mother back by melting her and mixing her with her tears, before noticing she figured it out herself. | |

Sailor Moon Usagi's tears at Mamoru's first death creates the Legendary Silver Crystal. In the manga, it simply forms from her tears, while in the anime, they cause the rainbow crystals to form it instead. In episode 170, Usagi wanted to fight Neherenia and help Mamoru, but her friends told her it's a trap and, as the heartbroken Usagi cried, her tear landed on her heart-shaped brooch which caused it to turn into an eternal brooch and Usagi herself became Eternal Sailor Moon. |
