Cruelest and most painful moments in the mangaworld

[benelori]

There's lots of action in the mangaworld, because mankind is inherently peaceful and misses the action

But some just take it a bit far...

I was watching FMA the other day, and Mustang was on the verge of madness...the repeated burning of Envy's eyes was, well...cruel...

So what's your pick? Is there something that got to you, either because of the gore, or the extreme nature of the intent? Or maybe it was an emotional pain, or something important, but still painful(something like childbirth). Post any reasoning for the choice.

Please post graphic stuff(pictures considered adult material) under spoiler tags.

Thanks!

Goat/orgy scenes in Berserk, I had to mentally rebuild myself before continuing with this.

Gantz and the cutting of the chests and the whole ordeal before the ship.

Hiroshi's transformation in Ryuuguuden.

Pages from the manga's of this guy: Kago.

Examples:

It is psychologically challenging to actually sit through Kago, I usually just flash quickly by the pages, some of his art is really cool, still the cruel stuff is way way too much.

Besides Kago, I think Umezu Kazuo's works are sometimes could twisting your stomach. I don't know if it is painful or not, but personally I have to be mentally prepared when reading horror mangas made by him.

For example :

[Crude]

Narutaru volume 7. Even the censored official English version is pretty disturbing.

Goat/orgy scenes in Berserk, I had to mentally rebuild myself before continuing with this.

The troll orgy scene was also pretty heavy, especially the aftermath.

From the top of my head: Battle Royale. I don't remember much of the first chapter (thankfully), but I was surprised that all these terrible things were happening right from the first chapter. I wasn't prepared to handle all of the gore and violence so soon.

Urasawa doesn't depict a lot of gore in his works, but there was one moment in Monster that kinda fits.

It's the part where Grimmer is tortured by having his nails ripped out. This was done off-screen, but it was still terrible to imagine the pain he went through.

I'd say 'Minerva vs lucy' in fairy tail chapters 291 and 292, she's clearly a high ranked mage and lucy is still a newbie,

there was no need to humiliate her like that and beat her to an unconscious pulp and then call her trash in the next chapter

It was cruel especially coming from a mage of a legal guild.
