History NightmareFuel / Bokurano

* The final battle. [[spoiler: The pilot of the enemy robot tricks Ushiro into opening his cockpit without killing him, allowing to teleport away. Now potentially anywhere in the away team's world, and with only 48 hours to find and kill him, Ushiro ends up having to win the fight by ''personally killing every single person in this alternate world until he finds him''. And what's even worse is that he figures out pretty quickly that ''this is exactly what the enemy pilot wanted.'']]

* The entire premise. For entirely arbitrary reasons, a monster is making you and several others take turns to fight and destroy giant robots with your own giant robot. The giant robots act exactly like such devices would behave in real life, causing horrendous collateral damage, causing thousands to die for no reason each time a battle occurs. Once each fight is done, [[spoiler: the pilot of the giant robot dies.]] No exceptions. [[spoiler: So when your turn comes up, you will die.]] You can't just not fight, nor can you lose a battle, because ''[[spoiler: your entire universe]]'' would be destroyed otherwise. Then it turns out that [[spoiler: you're fighting ''other humans from parallel realities'', who have been forced to do the same thing as you, so even if you win, their universe is completely annihilated]] for no reason besides the amusement of the EldritchAbomination. Oh, and your dashing heroes are between the ages of 8 and 14 and are all, more or less, terrified beyond belief. [[SarcasmMode Mohiro Kitoh is such a kid-friendly mangaka]].
