History MindRape / AnimeAndManga

* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi''; most of the main cast are batshit ''insane'', and poor Keiichi gets mind raped pretty much every arc. [[spoiler:The victims of Hinamizawa Syndrome are seeing horrifying hallucinations of their friends acting like demonic entities or something similar disturbing to make them AxCrazy Psychos. Hinamizawa Syndrome is a mind raping disease.]]

** [[spoiler: Kyuubey]] is not above doing this. [[spoiler: He shows Madoka how the world has been affected by his [[DealWithTheDevil contracts]], and how if it wasn't for the Incubators humanity would probably still be in caves.]] [[CaptainObvious She did not enjoy it.]]

* The ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'' anime adaptation's depiction of [[WickedWitch Fabia's]] introduction has her doing this to her poor opponent, trapping her in an illusion that only she could see and experience while the baffled InUniverse audience wonders why said opponent had gone from charging Fabia to screaming, in a catatonic state.

* ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'' Anime's depiction of [[WickedWitch Fabia's]] introduction has her doing this to her poor opponent, trapping her in an illusion that only she could see and experience while the baffled InUniverse audience wonders why said opponent had gone from charging Fabia to screaming, in a catatonic state.

* The Anime adaptation of ''Manga/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaVivid'' [[WickedWitch Fabia's]] introduction in the TournamentArc depicts her using a spell that causes this, trapping her opponent in an illusion that only they could see and experience while the confused audience wonders why said opponent had suddenly been reduced to a screaming, catatonic wreck.

* Possibly trancending both the "psychic" and "mundane" categories, being banished to hell in ''HellGirl'' means that one is dragged into an EldritchLocation where one is subjected to a nightmarish IronicHell in the form of an inverse experience of one's own crime. And this is still only a ''preview'' of what's to come since the EldritchLocation isn't hell itself but merely a PocketDimension between the world of the living and hell that one passes through before reaching one's final destination... Most victims have a complete and utter breakdown before they reach the other side.

* In episode 6 of ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'', [[spoiler:Domon is drugged and forced to watch a holographic re-enaction of his family's downfall by his bosses, to see if he can really use his Super Mode (which is supposed to be powered up through anger-fueled Heroic Resolve). For worse, much later we find out it was all a lie.]]\\

In the second half of the series, [[spoiler: MonsterClown Romario gets an advantage over Chibodee in their match through this, exploiting his trauma over being held hostage by a gang dressed as clowns as a kid (and losing his beloved mother to them) until poor Chibodee is near-comatose in fear and horror. He has to be snapped out of it by his FourGirlEnsemble's encouragement.]]

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': The trope name comes the FanNickname for Asuka's brutal mental torture inflicted by the Fifteenth Angel. It's so debilitating, she can no longer sync with her [=EVA=] unit, and eventually falls into a [[ConvenientComa catatonic]] [[HeroicBSOD depre]][[DespairEventHorizon ssion.]] Its effect and execution make it one of the cruelest examples ''ever'', as it forces her to relive her whole DarkAndTroubledPast which includes [[spoiler: her mother Kyouko going mad after test-piloting the EVA 02, being unable to recognize Asuka and shunning her to favor a CreepyDoll, Asuka herself hearing the people talk about her and her mother's lives, Kyouko [[OffingTheOffspring trying to strangle her]] in the manga, and Asuka finding Kyouko's hanging corpse (alongside the doll) in the very day when she was chosen as an EVA pilot]]. Most translations include Asuka screaming something like, "It's raping/defiling/violating/devouring my mind/soul!" (Or in the case of manga scanlations, [[http://www.mangareader.net/687-33647-23/neon-genesis-evangelion/chapter-60.html sobbing and whispering "I've been violated!"]]). The fact that the mind rape ray also [[SoundtrackDissonance plays the wildly inappropriate Hallelujah chorus]] either [[{{Narm}} defuses the scene completely]] or [[NightmareFuel makes it much, much worse]]. In fact, the sheer level of it all is so great, that the lines on the psychograph measuring her mental state drop to zero, then turns into an impossible mass of squiggles that [[FreezeFrameBonus if you pause at certain moments, show what appear to be really creepy doodles.]]

* ''Anime/ElfenLied'': During her childhood, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNicknames Kaede/Lucy]] was tortured with hallucinations created by the [[EnemyWithin 'DNA]] [[FanNickname Voice']]. This included her best friend (whom she thought had just betrayed her) telling her that he never cared for her at all, and simply befriended her because he 'loved strange animals like her', as well as the [[KidsAreCruel kids]] from the orphanage she was grew up in raised from the dead as mutilated corpses that continued to taunt her, even in death. Needless to say, the [[HeroicBSOD effects]] were not pretty.

* In episode 6 of ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'', [[spoiler:Domon is drugged and forced to watch a holographic re-enaction of his family's downfall by his bosses, to see if he can really use his Super Mode (which is supposed to be powered up through anger-fueled Heroic Resolve). For worse, much later we find out it was all a lie.]]
* A less supernatural mind rape was attempted by Suzaku on Kallen in ''Anime/CodeGeass R2''. Suzaku, trying to find out if Lelouch has regained his memory and become Zero again, attempts to [[spoiler:use [[LotusEaterMachine the Refrain drug]] on Kallen to make her tell him the truth. [[AnythingButThat Kallen is so disturbed and shaken that]] [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything she begs for him not to, as though she were about to be literally raped by him]]. Just before dosing her, Suzaku realizes he is becoming NotSoDifferent from Zero, and stops. When you think back to season one and how [[EmptyShell the mind of Kallen's biological mother was nearly destroyed by the drug]], it's not that much of a stretch to believe that poor Kallen would liken a forced dose of refrain to a sexual violation]]. Kallen is so furious over this shortly after, that she delivers not one, but two {{No Holds Barred Beatdown}}s, the first with her fists, and the second in knightmare combat.

* ''Manga/DeathNote'' at the end of the series, [[spoiler: [[JerkAss Near]] does this to [[VillainProtagonist Light]]. As per stated in his plan to totally defeat him, separate him from all his allies, and rub it in his face.]] In the manga this is examined in ''painful'' detail drawing the psychological trauma in these terms, complete with the unfunny ClothingDamage. Regardless on whether you believe he deserved it or not, it was totally not cool.

** Orochimaru pulled something like this in the Chuunin Exams on Sasuke and Sakura. By exposing them to his pure KillingIntent, the two of them hallucinated their own bloody deaths, leaving them paralysed in fear.

* In ''Manga/WolfGuyWolfenCrest'' we have [[spoiler: Haguro and his goons gang-raping Aoshika, Inugami's MoralityChain]], to BreakTheCutie. It crosses into this when [[spoiler: Haguro gives her a PsychoSerum to screw with her mind and make her ''enjoy her own rape''.]]

* ''Anime/LastExile'' [[spoiler:Dio's Rite of Covenant is basically a case of MindRape that turns him into a semi-catatonic killing machine]].

* In ''WolfGuyWolfenCrest'' we have [[spoiler: Haguro and his goons gang-raping Aoshika, Inugami's MoralityChain]], to BreakTheCutie. It crosses into this when [[spoiler: Haguro gives her a PsychoSerum to screw with her mind and make her ''enjoy her own rape''.]]

* The three [[QuirkyMinibossSquad sub-villains]] of ''Manga/SailorMoon Super S'' examined the dreams of pure-hearted people (one attacks young girls, another attacks [[LikesOlderWomen older women]], and the last one goes against males of all ages) to determine if Pegasus was hiding there... by forcibly sticking their head into the victim's "dream mirror". While the victim screams in pain or discomfort. Usually after seducing the poor Jane/John Doe to draw him/her to a secluded spot. The symbolism was [[{{Anvilicious}} very... subtle]].

* Surprisingly played for laughs in ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'': [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Nora]] tries this to turn [[{{Otaku}} Keima's]] DatingSim dream into a complete nightmare. Naturally, he [[RantInducingSlight doesn't]] [[LetsGetDangerous take it]] [[UnstoppableRage very]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny well]].

* ''Anime/KillLaKill'': This is committed [[spoiler:by Ragyo Kiryuin on Ryuuko Matoi, the protagonist]], by implanting FakeMemories of a happy childhood, as a motivation to pull a FaceHeelTurn. The scene is peppered by disturbing sexual overtones, since [[spoiler:Ragyo is a sexual predator, intent on molesting her own daughters, including Ryuuko]], making it semi-literal mind rape. The victim becomes so attached to the changes that during a JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind, she tries to kill her friends, furious that they would try to erase her happiness.

*** Sasuke was under this at age 7 and suddenly witnessed the death of his entire clan, including his mother and father, as murdered by his older brother.

* In ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'', [[DeadlyUpgrade the Zero System]] causes a MindRape effect on whoever is piloting Wing Zero. The technical intention is to show them all the possible outcomes of a battle, but in reality it ends up them horrifying hallucinations that fuck up their minds to different degrees. As an example, when [[BreakTheCutie an *already* very unstable]] [[spoiler: Quatre]] gets a hold of it, he pretty much goes ''batshit insane'' until [[spoiler: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOaH0tsG3z0 Trowa almost commits suicide to stop him]].]], However, Quatre claims he wasn't even ''aware'' of the Zero System, and further claims he never used it as he didn't give a damn about the enhanced cockpit system so much as he did Zero's one-hit colony-killing BFG. (Though this seems to be specific to the dub, but to be fair, the 'golden screens' effect Zero displays when active wasn't seen at all when Quatre first piloted the thing.) ...Now ''Heero'' on the other hand, it not only mind raped, it forged some kind of psychic link to the thing since he ''TALKS'' to it on at least three occasions! However, he managed to get beyond the madness and make sense of it all. At the time this happened, he was in the Epyon which has the same kind of system, and he was fighting Zechs who was in the Wing Zero. The intensity of the battle managed to push them beyond their mecha's capabilities, and they eventually called a truce and switched mecha. Heero would later get the other pilots to pilot the Wing Zero and find a way to break through as well.
** Wufei, on the other hand, uses the damn thing to go on a friggin' ''vision quest''. Better than peyote, or something. (Yes, I know he's Chinese.) His crazy is unrelated.

It's so debilitating, she can no longer sync with her [=EVA=] unit, and eventually falls into a [[ConvenientComa catatonic]] [[HeroicBSOD depre]][[DespairEventHorizon ssion.]] Its effect and execution make it one of the cruelest examples ''ever'', as it forces her to relive her whole DarkAndTroubledPast which includes [[spoiler: her mother Kyouko going mad after test-piloting the EVA 02, being unable to recognize Asuka and shunning her to favor a CreepyDoll, Asuka herself hearing the people talk about her and her mother's lives, Kyouko [[OffingTheOffspring trying to strangle her]] in the manga, and Asuka finding Kyouko's hanging corpse (alongside the doll) in the very day when she was chosen as an EVA pilot]].

** [[spoiler: As Nodt from the Vandereich]] has taken leaves outta [[spoiler: Tsukishima]]'s books as seen by chapter 501. They invoke the psychic variation [[spoiler: implanting needles in your body that warp your mind via manipulation of your survival instincts as well as your conscious mind]], and ''then'' they use the mundane variation via giving you a BreakingLecture, so they can finish you. [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel/{{Bleach}} It's as horrible as you think.]]

** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Victory Gundam]]'' comes close, with the Angel Halo installation. It basically uses twenty-thousand Newtype "psychikers" to amplify the powers of a single Newtype who can then use it to MindRape ''the whole of the Earth Sphere'' if she so desires. Zanscare planned on using it on Earth to regress people to an infantile state of mind so they'd all die off and leave the Earth "purified". Fortunately for everyone involved, they had the bad judgement to place [[TheMessiah Shakti]] in control of it. Earlier, when testing its effects, they tried to use it to cause Uso to lose his will to fight, first by bombarding him with [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul images of peace and happiness]], then with scenes of terror and pain.

* ''{{Anime/Monster}}'': Everything anyone who is remotely close to Johan experiences is pure mind rape. Fandom [[MemeticBadass exaggerates]] his already formidable ability to destroy the hopes and dreams of anyone he talks to to the point where he can [[DrivenToSuicide make you kill yourself]] by [[DissonantSerenity smiling kindly]]. Luckily for everyone involved, the protagonist, [[TheMessiah Kenzou Tenma]], is a master of the MindHug.

* In the second half of ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'', Barnaby suffers this ''twice'' at the hands of [[spoiler:his ParentalSubstitute, Albert Maverick, who has the power of creating FakeMemories]]; though it's hinted that it has happened quite a few times prior to the beginning of the series as well. Later, [[spoiler: Maverick mindrapes the other heroes via first erasing their memories of Kotetsu, then making them believe he's a murderer.]]

** [[GuileHero Virgo Shaka]]'s probably this trope incarnate. He {{Mind Rape}}s pretty much everybody, including the viewers who are left struggling with slight ViewerGenderConfusion, mindrapes his own religion (since when did Buddhists kill in the name of Athena?) and finally [[spoiler: mindrapes Saga, Shura and Camus with a very cruel ThanatosGambit resulting in his own (perfectly planned) death-and their own overwhelming guilt and the loss of their senses.]] '''Charming.''' Plus he makes everyone cry ManlyTears, although in ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' that's not unusual.
