History RapeLeadsToInsanity / AnimeAndManga

** WordOfGod states that [[spoiler:Touga's]] backstory in ''Anime/AdolescenceOfUtena'', where he was raped by his adoptive father, applies to the anime series. He [[TheCasanova goes through woman like tissue paper]], [[spoiler:sleeps with Miki in a scene hinting at dubious consent in the novels]], has a close relationship with his adoptive sister Nanami, has a thing for Utena (and approaches her in the novels after his 'scene' with Miki which makes Miki worry for her), and is implied to have slept with Akio and Saionji. He also is best friends with Saionji and he deliberately acts behind the scenes to get Saionji expelled from school. The relationship between Nanami and Touga especially falls into NoYay, thanks to her sheer obsession with him and the way he emotionally manipulates her. It all reaches a head in episode 32, in which Touga suddenly tries to rape Nanami in Akio's car (which she fights off in horror) and he gets angry because if sex isn't what she wanted, then what does she want? Actually, the sheer level of bullshit he pulls on her in that episode is nightmarish in itself. That Touga's idea of family love and romance has been so completely warped by the rape makes the entire mess between the two of them chilling, to say the least.

* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': [[spoiler:Touga]] is raped by his stepfather in the movie, which makes [[DepravedBisexual all his relationships with both men and women fall into nightmare territory.]] He [[TheCasanova goes through woman like tissue paper]], [[spoiler:sleeps with Miki in a scene hinting at dubious consent in the novels]], has a close relationship with his adoptive sister Nanami, has a thing for Utena (and approaches her in the novels after his 'scene' with Miki which makes Miki worry for her), and is implied to have slept with Akio and Saionji.

That Touga's idea of family love and romance has been so completely warped by the rape makes the entire mess between the two of them chilling, to say the least.
** And the dubious nature of the sex scene between Akio and Utena in episode 33, seeing as how she's fourteen years old and he's way older than her, and the topic of discussion. You won't be thinking of sandwiches the same way again for a good while afterwards. All the more nightmarish when you see her gasping in pain and kanji reading afterwards [[MadnessMantra "Stop it...stop it...stop it..."]]. It's like she's desperately trying to retain her sanity and sense of self and get her mind off of the dubious situation with Akio by talking about what she should make for lunch tomorrow or trying to deflect Akio’s attention and ministrations on her by mentioning Anthy and how she needs to leave to make lunch.

* ''Manga/SeraphOfTheEnd'': Mito is driven to a nervous breakdown when she is nearly raped by Guren who is NotHimself from being goaded on by his demon in the novel and Shigure and Sayuri are nearly raped as well and are deeply sickened by the experience and try to kill themselves by chewing on a poison capsule to avoid being raped/killed. Saito stops them however and Guren arrives to save them. It's also implied that Ferid assaulted Mika or at least Mika's reaction to Ferid forcibly drinking blood from him is reminiscent of a rape victim especially since it gives the biter and the bitee immoral pleasure. This, along with other factors, led to his utter cold nature following becoming a vampire and hatred of all vampires and humans except for Yuu.

* ''LightNovel/StrawberryPanic'': Hikari is targeted for AttemptedRape thrice. (Twice by Kaname and once by Yaya) Both experiences terrorize her and make her withdraw into herself expressing HiddenEyes. Although Hikari forgives Yaya for her previous sexual harrassment, she's naturally still scared to get close to her after that. The way she visibly flinches around her, and Yaya's guilt ends up in her refusing to go to the Etoile competition, with Tsubomi comforting her so she won't have to be all alone.
* ''LightNovel/{{Sukisho}}'': In the game, it's revealed that Sunao was raped by Aizawa and his men during his time in the lab. In the series proper, Sunao clearly suffers from PTSD as a result and has abandonment issues. He even tries to stab Aizawa with scissors in a moment of insanity in the anime.

* ''Anime/{{Bokurano}}'': Chizu has been in a relationship with her teacher [[CompleteMonster Hatagai]] for a while. While it started off... consensual by TeacherStudentRomance standards, at least, Hatagai betrays her after a while (either posting explicit pictures of her online or straight-up having his friends gang-rape her, depending on the timeline). That doesn't quite drive her off the deep end--the last straw is actually finding out he's sleeping with her sister as well--but his violation is obviously a big part of the reason she ends up snapping and going [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation either]] full {{Yandere}} or [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge out for his blood]].

** Casca went mute and regressed to a childlike state after [[spoiler:a horrifying rape at the hands of her former commander turned demon god Femto]] during the Eclipse. It's also implied that she's becoming [[TheInsomniac an insomniac]] as a result. And she slaughters some men after the Eclipse who attempted to rape her. It's implied that the demons who stripped her naked during the Eclipse went further than that, as we see one sticking tentacles in her mouth as it's stripping and groping her with the others. One also tries to rape her with a spike on its head and succeeds at penetrating her with the tip, though a CensorShadow makes the penetration less noticeably obvious. Luckily, it stops to watch Femto being born before going any deeper. During these moments, we see her sanity get destroyed and she retreats into herself. During later chapters, when two characters get a first-hand look at the horrors Casca endured during the Eclipse, they are scared out of their wits, with Casca commenting that the violations that befelled her were “viscerally disgusting”.

* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': Asuka crosses the DespairEventHorizon and ends up catatonic after her MindRape. By WordOfGod we're supposed to understand that she literally gets raped. Several dubs/scanlations have her actually say "I've been raped/violated!" and "it's raping/defiling my mind/soul!" as she's psychically tortured by the Angel. As a double wammy Shinji masturbates over her comatose body and she’s deeply disgusted and furious over this and Shinji himself is disgusted with himself and doesn’t try to stop some bad guys from trying to off him. Luckily Misato saves the suicidally depressed Shinji.

** Seras is a cute vampire girl who gets embarrassed when Alucard asks if she's a virgin, and her she has screaming anger and flustered behavior towards the lecherous Pip Bernadotte and Wild Geese's "Sexual Harassment". Later, we learn that Zorin opened up her memories and revealed that her mother's corpse was raped after she was killed right in front of Seras on the night her entire family was slaughtered. No wonder she's so uncomfortable about it. ... Also, Seras was nearly raped by a vampire in the first episode/chapter. And there's the oft-glossed-over part where she was being groped by ghouls (they also forced apart her legs) prior to going into a blood-rage as a result of her HatesBeingTouched BerserkButton being pressed in an early OVA. She also has nightmares about how she is threatened with rape attempts and three villains, and one HeroAntagonist have made rape-like overtures towards her.

* In the 2003 anime ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'', it was implied that [[spoiler:Rose]] was raped by Amestris soldiers. She went mute after that, but she didn't start acting unusual until [[spoiler:Dante manipulated her (potentially through drugging her)]]. She does eventually get better.

* ''Anime/PerfectBlue'':
** Mima begins to lose her grip on reality after she is supposedly raped for a film during her new acting career. [[MindScrew Or does she get raped?]] After this scenario is shown, we hear a bell ring and a director yell "Cut!" and the movie continues into more twists and turns. Also, Mima gets photographed by a borderline rapist who convinced her to get naked for him to photograph. He gets uncomfortably close to her while she's naked and takes obscene pictures of her. The risqué photo shoot is indispersed with shots of her stabbing the hell out of the photographer. Also, it's implied the stabbing was Rumi's doing.
** Zigzagged with Rumi. During Mima's implied rape scene for a movie she's filming; it is at that point where [[SanitySlippage Rumi starts to lose it]] as she's watching the recording, crying hysterically. You realize that Rumi may already have been unstable and delusional, but this and the risque photo shoot were the things that pushed her permanently over the edge. Or even worse, if Rumi was already delusional, she thought she was seeing herself getting raped, because she [[IJustWantToBeYou saw herself as Mima]]. It gets worse when you consider just how strongly she protested Mima doing it in the first place and how it connects with the conclusion of the ShowWithinAShow.

* In episode 20 of ''Anime/CrossAnge'', it turns out that this is the reason [[spoiler:Jill lost it; the original Libertus had ended in failure because Embryo raped her in both mind and body]].
** Ange herself finds her mental and emotional stability tested with all the times Embryo tries mind control her into going to bed with him and finally tries to rape her because she kept rejecting him.
* ''[[Manga/WolfGuyWolfenCrest Wolfen Crest]]'':
** Konuma Ryuuko is a nymphomaniac middle-schooler with what appears to be profound psychological damage from repeated rapes in her past, which made her a nihilistic sociopath.
** Later, Haguro tries to use gang-rape on HotTeacher Aoshika to BreakTheCutie in regards to both her and Inugami. [[spoiler:It '''almost''' worked.]]
** Haguro raped and beat Chiba out of jealousy because of Chiba talking to Inugami when Haguro wasn't around, and it doesn't end well for him. He goes RoaringRampageOfRevenge before he is slaughtered.
** Inugami gets to witness first-hand as Aoshika's getting gang-raped because Haguro recorded it and put it on the internet. The normally stoic wolf has full-blown BrokenTears as his MaskOfSanity breaks.
** A poor schoolgirl has a breakdown and pees herself when a mass shooter threatens to rape her with his gun.
* ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'': One of the factors that made Genkaku AxCrazy was how he was raped as a teenager.
* ''[[Manga/BlackButler Black Butler II]]'':

* In ''Manga/PeacemakerKurogane'', Suzu becomes AxCrazy and a DepravedHomosexual after an old man rapes him and seeks to get revenge on Tetsu because he believes he’s the reason he got such a bad hand like he did.
* Legato Bluesummers from the ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' manga is shown to have been raped (possibly numerous times) by the town mayor, or something like a mayor. As you might guess, he's now quite AxCrazy.

* In ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'':

* In ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'', [[{{Yandere}} Kotonoha's]] mental and emotional breakdown hits her fully after she's raped by [[spoiler:her StalkerWithACrush, Makoto's best friend Taisuke.]]
* ''Manga/SakuraGari'':
** A big reason Souma is so messed up and a DepravedBisexual is because of all the rape and other trauma he endured in his past.
** Masataka himself [[DrivenToSuicide nearly splinters mentally]] after he endures being raped by Katsuragi and Souma.
* In ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', Asuka crosses the DespairEventHorizon and ends up catatonic after her MindRape. By WordOfGod we're supposed to understand that she literally gets raped. Several dubs/scanslations have her actually say "I've been raped/violated!" and "it's raping/defiling my mind/soul!" as she's psychically tortured by the Angel. As a double wammy Shinji masturbates over her comatose body and she’s deeply disgusted and furious over this and Shinji himself is disgusted with himself and doesn’t try to stop some bad guys from trying to off him. Luckily Misato saves the suicidally depressed Shinji.

* Hinako from ''Manga/BitterVirgin'' was traumatised by [[spoiler:years of sexual abuse]] at the hands of her stepfather. This severely messed with her mental state and caused her to develop an aversion to men and HatesBeingTouched except by Daisuke. She gets better through her relationship with Daisuke.
* In ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'', both Miaka and Yui experience rape attempts and go through BreakTheCutie.
** Nakago was made a SexSlave when he was young. This was his StartOfDarkness.
* In ''Manga/CountCain'', Augusta went insane after giving birth to her brother's ChildByRape and had to be institutionalized. When Cain, not knowing she was his mother as well as his aunt, went to visit her in secret, she freaked out and [[DrivenToSuicide threw herself out the window]]. At the end of the series, [[spoiler:we learn that this is a subversion. While Augusta really did go insane afterwards, she had been more than willing to sleep with her brother all along.]]
* ''Manga/SensualPhrase'': In the manga, Aine's raped by a high-ranked executive who had a beef against Sakuya. Poor girl nearly splinters mentally after that.
* Zigzagged all over the place in ''Manga/HaouAiren''. [[spoiler:Reilan was driven to bitterness and insanity after she gets gangraped by the mooks of her fiancé Hakuron's rival and forced into prostitution]], and she gets so broken that [[spoiler:she invokes the trope via setting her love rival Kurumi to be gangraped in front of Hakuron himself to specifically mess with the girl's mind. Even when Kurumi is rescued, Reilan uses this as a part of a ''ThanatosGambit'' as well, so she gets broken anyway — but by the end, she gets ''somewhat'' better.]] And also, [[spoiler:Kurumi is raped ''by Hakuron himself'' in front of a newfound friend... and ''that friend'' [[GoMadFromTheRevelation is the one who goes crazy instead]], which leads him to ultimately [[TheHeroDies shoot Hakuron dead]].]]
* ''Manga/ACruelGodReigns'': In the manga, Jeremy is repeatedly raped and beaten by his step-father, Greg Roland, which [[spoiler:eventually drives him to tamper with Greg's car, killing him.]] For the rest of the series, Jeremy is haunted by images of Greg talking to him, leading him to become [[spoiler:a drug addict and a prostitute in an attempt to forget.]]
* ''Manga/AngelSanctuary'': [[spoiler:Sevotharte, a.k.a. Lailah]] was raped by jealous co-workers, which led to... [[TraumaCongaLine several]] [[DealWithTheDevil bits]] [[ANaziByAnyOtherName of]] [[MoralEventHorizon nastiness]].
* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'':
** Overlaps with [[spoiler:OrphanageOfFear ''and'' BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil]] in the case of [[spoiler:Miyo Takano]] in the manga version.
** It is implied that [[spoiler: Rena's rampage in Ibaraki was sparked by a rape attempt by the three boys she injured]], [[HatePlague but there were other]] [[ParentalAbandonment contributing factors]].
* [[spoiler:Tamura]] from ''Manga/BokuraNoHentai''. He's the most unhinged [[spoiler:of the protagonists]] and displays behaviors [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior unhealthy]] for a 13-to-15-year-old. It's shown he has repressed memories of a neighbor who made him crossdress and molested him as a young child.
* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'':
** Ayu aka Nutcracker is a promiscuous scantily dressed ghoul who preys on men and women. She once ate a beautiful woman's face and has the standard attack of stomping on a man's genitals and sucking them up. It's implied Ayu either was sexually assaulted in the past, prostituted herself to get money, or a mix of both, as a flashback has her thinking "I need money" when looking up at three sketchy-looking guys with slasher smiles.
** Tooru Mutsuki is implied to have been raped by his father after he physically abused him by holding his head under water and leered at him, and later [[StalkerWithACrush Torso]] as well. The first event is implied to have been the reason Mutsuki decided to live as a male and is why he finds MaleGaze to be disgusting. The second event makes him break down in tears and believe that he's cursed because of him being taken advantage of by men in his life, namely his father and Torso. Both of the implied rapes make Mutsuki snap and causes him to [[spoiler: kill his father, his family, and brutally maim and kill Torso in revenge. His maiming of animals and keeping a collection of their tongues while tearfully denying and repressing all these memories is also implied to be a result of the trauma of physical and sexual abuse by his father and the murder he did of his own family and his own twisted way of coping]] Also, he has scars on his breast and in chapter 13 the words "rape" "rape" "rape" "a woman" come to his head when men give him the MaleGaze in a club. After both sexual assaults Mutsuki succumbs to full on AxCrazy-ness.
** In one scene we see Big Madam fingering Juuzou's mouth while talking about how pretty her "Rei-chan" is and then reaching down to grope his genitals beneath his dress prior to [[GroinAttack castrating him with a hammer]]. It's his past, combined with sexual assault as well as physical abuse and torture that made Juuzou lose his sanity, though he gets better with [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Shinohara's influence]].
** Shortly after [[spoiler: Seidou's ghoul surgery]], Dr. Kanou visits him and mentions that when he comes back later, he'll be collecting various samples...including semen which is implied he'll acquire through forced ejaculation. The scene fades there, leaving that piece of the experimentation to the audience's imagination. The horrors he experienced of the ghoul world as a human as well as the torture Kanou put him through made him [[AxCrazy who he is today]].
** The above implies Kanou did the same to Kaneki when he made him into a half ghoul and there's also the implication that Yamori assaulted him sexually or possibly castrated him in addition to torturing him by putting a centipede in his ear which Yamori describes it as a "violation" and repeatedly cutting off his fingers and toes. It's no surprise he becomes a cold merciless AntiHero.
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': When Aizen has Orihime kidnapped, Orihime is subjected to psychological conditioning, mental torture, implied rape threats, physical abuse, and being forced to watch Ichigo have a hole ripped through his chest, Uryuu having his arm diced off, and the enemy being completely untouched. All of this culminates in her having a breakdown. The sexual part of Orihime's BreakTheCutie is more blatant in the manga, where Nnoitora not only forces her to watch as Tesla beats Ichigo bloody, but restrains her and puts his fingers up her mouth (like it was done to the above mentioned Juuzou), which is actually a kink often used in hentai and live-action Japanese porn; for all effects, Nnoitora was ''molesting Orihime in front of Ichigo'', and it had to be {{bowdlerize}}d in the anime by simply [[HandGagging putting his hand over her mouth.]]

* ''Anime/{{Texhnolyze}}'': Onishi's secretary Michiko, by the end of the series, has been raped and abused so much by a trio of remaining Luxites that she's barely responsive and only asks to be killed.
* ''Anime/NowAndThenHereAndThere'': Sara is made to be a SexSlave rather than a ChildSoldier and is assaulted at least once. The second time she's had enough and brutally beats her attacker to death. When she found out she was pregnant from the rape she was planning to drown herself in Zari Bars' main source of water. Not to mention trying to induce abortion by smashing a rock against her stomach.

* ''Manga/{{Adekan}}'': Shiro and Anri by way of SoBeautifulItsACurse. Several people try to sell their services in prostitution and both were made sex slaves in their youth. Not to mention the innaproriate touching by people who find them attractive be they [[EvenTheGuysWantHim woman or man]]. Both have knowledge of how to seduce people or using their beauty to get what they want. It's implied a past of sexual assault and other hardships led to Anri becoming a psycho and Shiro to be as closed off emotionally and merciless when fighting as he is. Also a side male character went through numerous BreakTheCutie hardships one which included Anri going through the motions of attempting to rape him. All of this splinters him mentally.
* [[SugarAndIcePersonality Mizore Shirayuki]] from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' reacts [[DefiledForever this way]] to [[AmbiguouslyGay Miyabi]], [[spoiler:even though he only went as far as stealing a kiss and handling her a bit forcefully]]. Still, that alone would have been a very traumatic experience, especially since she was so emotionally fragile to begin with. She proceeds to [[DrivenToSuicide jump out of a window]], only for [[TheHeart Kurumu]] to save her.

* ''Manga/ElfenLied'': Maya. It's heavily implied in the anime, after running away from home after refusing to stay and let her stepfather sexually abuse her again, that she was planning on committing suicide. She leaves her shoes on the shoreline and starts to wade out into the ocean, but turns back when she hears a puppy barking. Supplementary materials confirm that Mayu cannot swim. The rape also soured her attitude towards men in general, but she does get better.
* ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness'' has the reveal of Dr. Muraki having impulsively raped thirteen-year-old Hisoka, then cursed him so that he slowly and painfully died over the course of three years as major character development for both of them. Made particularly painful by Hisoka being an empath who can feel other people's emotions especially strongly through physical contact, to the extent that Tsuzuki grabbing him when he's upset causes Hisoka to scream, making it a sort of Mind Rape too.
** Extra points for 1) the heavy implication later on that Muraki's mother molested him and 2) the possibly-accidental revelation that twelve-year-old Muraki Kazutaka looked frighteningly identical to little Hisoka. So...yeah, he was working out his own backstory issues there, too. Also he aims an incredible amount of HoYay to Tsuzuki which becomes horrifying when he reveals that he wants to revive his dead brother, put his head on Tsuzuki's body and then kill him again.
* ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'': Andrea is a psychotic man into very twisted things who wants to force his half sister Eugenie to marry him but she wanted to be with Albert. Before Albert could return to Paris, Eugenie tried to leave the Danglars mansion. This unfortunately results in Andrea giving chase and sexually assaulting Eugenie, psychologically scarring her and manipulating her into staying.
* ''Anime/{{Bokurano}}'': Chizu has been in a relationship with her teacher [[CompleteMonster Hatagai]] for a while. While it started off... consensual by TeacherStudentRomance standards, at least, Hatagai betrays her after a while (either posting explicit pictures of her online or straight-up having his friends gang-rape her, depending on the timeline). That doesn't quite drive her off the deep end--the last straw is actually finding out he's sleeping with her sister as well--but his violation is obviously a big part of the reason she ends up snapping and going [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation either]] full {{Yandere}} or [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge out for his blood]].

* It was obvious in ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' that this happened to Rei, who was forced to marry [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Endeavor]] and repeatedly give birth until he's got a kid with [[ComboPlatterPowers the right power combination]] (a.k.a. [[ChildByRape Shoto]]). The sheer trauma of going through such order, plus living in the same house with her rapist and seeing Shoto's face with his fire power despite still loving her son, eventually caused the poor woman to snap and permanently scar the child's face with boiling water.

* [[SugarAndIcePersonality Mizore Shirayuki]] from ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' reacts [[DefiledForever this way]] to [[AmbiguouslyGay Miyabi]], [[spoiler:even though he only went as far as stealing a kiss and handling her a bit forcefully]]. Still, that alone would have been a very traumatic experience, especially since she was so emotionally fragile to begin with. She proceeds to [[DrivenToSuicide jump out of a window]], only for [[TheHeart Kurumu]] to save her.

* In the ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' 2003 anime;, it was implied that [[spoiler:Rose]] was raped by Amestris soldiers. She went mute after that, but she didn't start acting unusual until [[spoiler:Dante manipulated her (potentially through drugging her)]]. She does eventually get better.
