Somewhere down the line, it became the "norm" that boys don't cry. The scenario does not matter; shedding tears is the ultimate no-no in of what you can and cannot do as a man (at least in the West, anyway). But there comes a time when a man's emotions do get the better of him, and they pour forth - as prerequisite an imioned speech may or may not be present - by cascading down his cheeks. These are what we like to call "manly tears". Extremely powerful. Not limited but often used in hot-blooded / super robot shows. Examples include Yuusha Ou GaoGaiGar, Getter Robo and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

The opposite of manly tears are "girly tears".
