4	* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'': The trope name comes from this show; specifically, it is the FanNickname for the mental torture inflicted upon Asuka by the Fifteenth Angel, Arael. It debilitates Asuka to the point where she can no longer sync with her [=EVA=] unit, a fate that eventually pushes her into a [[ConvenientComa catatonic]] [[HeroicBSOD depre]][[DespairEventHorizon ssion.]] Its effect and its execution also make Arael's mind rape one of the cruelest examples of this trope ''ever'', as it forces Asuka to relive her whole DarkAndTroubledPast--which includes [[spoiler: her mother Kyōko going mad after test-piloting EVA Unit-02, being unable to recognize Asuka, shunning her daughter in favor of a CreepyDoll, Asuka herself hearing other people talk about her and her mother's lives, her father cheating on her mother with her mother's doctor, Kyōko [[OffingTheOffspring trying to strangle Asuka]] in the manga, and Asuka finding Kyōko's hanging corpse (alongside the doll) on the same day Asuka was chosen as an EVA pilot]]. The mind rape then moves onto Asuka's present-day issues: her immense sense of self-loathing and all of the numerous insecurities [[SourOutsideSadInside she hides behind her energetic and thunderous exterior]], central amongst them feeling rejected and ignored by [[PrecociousCrush Kaji]] and, much to her anger and confusion, realizing that she feels that Shinji is doing the same things to her. All of this culminates in the Angel aligning all of Asuka's ideas of her present and the memories of her past to create such [[DespairEventHorizon an absolutely overwhelming and crushing sense of despair and dread in her]] that she loses the will to live...to a degree where ''[[DeathByDespair even her vital signs start to give out]]''. Most translations include Asuka screaming something like, "It's raping/defiling/violating/devouring my mind/soul!" (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 so much more worse]]. The sheer level of Arael's "procedure" is so crushing that the lines on the psychograph measuring Asuka's mental state drop to zero, then turn into an impossible mass of squiggles that [[FreezeFrameBonus show what appear to be really creepy doodles when paused at the right moment.]]
5	** Technically, this happens with every Angel other than Tabris ([[spoiler:also known as Kaworu]]), even in the original series. [[FridgeHorror Think about it]]: The AT Field is supposedly a barrier that isolates a person's true self (i.e., their soul) from other people. Angels and Evangelions are somehow able to project their AT Fields. (This raises a curious point: The Angels may be the most isolated, terrified, and overall ''alone'' creatures in any anime.) When an EVA rips apart an Angel's AT Field, it is effectively raping that Angel's ''soul''. This may not fully qualify as Mind Rape, but Soul Rape is at least adjacent to that.
6	*** Aside from Arael, [[spoiler:Leliel, Armisael, and maybe Bardiel also did some Mind Rape to Shinji, Rei, and Touji, respectively. Their mind rapes are also pretty trippy, but Asuka has the most well-remembered version due to the sheer intensity. In ''End of Evangelion'', Lilith also does this--first to the collective mind of all humanity, [[GainaxEnding then the minds of people from all forms of realities. Including ours. It (will) hurt]].]]
7	*** Even worse: The Angels do this ''passively''. Being exposed to an Angel's AT Field typically results in a person's entire sense of individuality becoming gradually overwhelmed. This should not be considered a pleasant experience at all, never mind that the experience is likely to dissolve you into Tang...er, LCL.
8	* ''Literature/{{Paprika}}'': The title character gets pinned to a table like a butterfly and then painfully has her skin removed, revealing a naked Dr. Chiba underneath. Made creepier by Osanai's dialogue. Also occurs among people [[MindScrew who watch the movie]] as well.
9	* ''Anime/YuGiOh'':
10	** Mai's descent into darkness began with the Dark Game between Malik and Mai, where Malik erases people from her memory, uses bondage-looking cards (for extra symbolism), and causes her to visualize herself trapped in an hourglass as she slowly dies. Yugi ultimately saves her, but Mai is traumatized afterward - plagued by nightmares, ''unable to enjoy dueling'', even when she wins, and helplessly lonely. In desperation to escape the pain, she joins the {{cult}}, Doma.
11	** Less rape-like versions of this are the point of the "Penalty Games" dealt to losers of Dark Games, especially the ones used in the manga and series 0 of the anime by the Pharaoh himself. Possibly the most important of these is the "Experience of Death" used against Kaiba, which inspires the creation of the holographic duel system used in the remainder of the series. The second anime lightens the Pharaoh's image somewhat by just replacing all instances of this with "Mind Crush", which does vaguely shown mental damage to the target.
12	** Slightly less extreme version (since it doesn't involve [[AFateWorseThanDeath Shadow Games]]): The Virtual World Arc is [[BreakTheCutie not kind to Mokuba]].
13	** This also happens in the final arc of ''[[Anime/YuGiOhGX GX]]'': the final villain, Darkness, traps people in nightmares where all their hopes are dashed repeatedly until they give in to despair and all outside proof of their existences is erased.
14	*** Before this, poor [[NiceGuy Jaden]] gets in on the act! TheHero is trapped within his own soul, constantly told that because of him [[spoiler: all of his friends have died]] and that all he has is himself. And it's ''very'' sad if you think about it. The one doing the raping is the Supreme King [[spoiler: AKA: Jaden's SuperPoweredEvilSide]].
15	** In ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'' Tron does this to Droite, forcibly stealing her memories of Kaito (whom she's secretly in love with) and leaving her psychologically scarred, sobbing in Yuma's arms. To make this worse, he laughs at her like a sadist after doing it.
16	* ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'': Towards the end of Aoi's and Spectre's duel in Episode #34, [[HopeSpot Spectre made Aoi believe that she was about to win and was about to save him]]. However, it was only a façade as Spectre's ''Sunbloom Doom'' made him nowhere near losing. [[BreakThemByTalking He even mocked her, calling her a pathetic girl who couldn't become a Blue Angel and claiming he was the Blue Angel who defeated the villain—her]]. He then [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown tore up the copy of the ''Blue Angel'' book he materialized and burned the shreds]]. The story meant the world to Aoi and gave her comfort after her parents died about ten years before the start of the series. To see it be so carelessly destroyed, in addition to [[BreaktheCutie her being so cruelly manipulated and mocked just moments ago]], [[DespairEventHorizon destroyed her]]. [[spoiler:Seeing as the Tower of Hanoi would absorb those who lose duels in ''Link VRAINS'' and leave their real bodies in a comatose state with little hope of waking up, [[{{Sadist}} Spectre]] essentially tortured her mentally before [[MoralEventHorizon murdering]] her in cold blood.]]
17	* The three [[QuirkyMinibossSquad sub-villains]] of ''Anime/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]].
18	** In the ''R'' season, Mamoru abandons Usagi because he's been having ''really'' disturbing dreams where she dies. He later finds out that these dreams were ''sent by someone else'', [[SecretTestOfCharacter wanting to test his bond with Usagi.]] [[spoiler:The weird thing? Who sent them was... ''his own future self'', King Endymion. Yes, Mamoru has been mind-raping ''himself'', in a sense.]]
19	** Later in ''R'', [[spoiler:Mind Rape through infusing her with Dark Energy and [[FakeMemories altering her memories of her parents]] to make her believe they abused her allows Wiseman to turn a captured and emotionally fragile Chibi-Usa into Black Lady.]]
20	** Wiseman tries to do this to Usagi in ''R'', trying to convince her that Chibi-Usa and Mamoru don't care about her and have forgotten about her, including showing her fake memories he made himself. Her faith in them wavers for a moment but she ultimately snaps out of it.
21	* ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' features a digital EldritchAbomination that uses human despair to create weapons. One of the secondary characters, who also happens to be a sweet and kind little girl with [[StepfordSmiler hidden Mommy issues]] [[spoiler:who has just seen her Digimon partner ''die'']], is subjected to several ''weeks'' of having her most horrible memories played over and over (specially those related to there), as if she were there and with full emotional intensity, so her angst can power up aforementioned EldritchAbomination. BreakTheCutie taken to levels even ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Eva]]'' would envy.
22	** Also, the J-Reaper (Agent D-Reaper 01) actually manages to partially mind rape Takato, or the ''main character'', with her "mind scan" attack (really obvious name), just before revealing herself in Episode 45 (in the park), quote "I don't feel well" unquote. Who ''would''?!
23	*** Which shows how it mind rapes! First, it collects information on the target. Then, it confuses the target and/or recalls past memories/experiences, lowering the target's defence's which allow it to synchronize thought processes, thus ''gaining access'' to the target's mind. Finally, it suggests new thoughts into the target, completing the manipulation. Note that this is very similar to real world hypnotic suggestion. [[spoiler: Takato was only ''one'' step away, because his partner digimon managed to prevent the full process.]]
24	** ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad'': [=MetalPhantomon=] does this to the heroes, forcing them to either experience nightmares or to relive their worst life experiences in order to [[EmotionEater consume their hearts]]. Thomas in particular is forced to relive the moment his mother died in a car accident. However, instead of falling into despair, it infuriates Thomas that [=MetalPhantomon=] tried to manipulate him with memories of his beloved mother, and he promptly destroys the Digimon with his newly Digi-volved [=MachGaogamon=].
25	* ''Manga/ElfenLied'': During her childhood, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname 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.
26	* Possibly transcending both the "psychic" and "mundane" categories, being banished to hell in ''Anime/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.
27	* Oh, God, ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]''... Several series have aired since that one, and Gundam has yet to show a protagonist who's gotten worked over as badly as Kamille Bidan did by Paptimus Scirocco.
28	** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ ZZ Gundam]]'' had an instance of a hero performing it: when Haman Karn shoots a girl named Leina, her [[BigBrotherInstinct older brother]] and TheHero Judau gets so utterly pissed off that he enters TranquilFury mode and his Newtype powers manifest a demonic aura that [[VillainousBreakdown so utterly terrifies Haman]] that she runs to her room sobbing. This is the woman who called Char "weak" and shrugged off both Kamille's and Scirocco's mental assaults with relative ease. Every Newtype for miles around felt Judau's rage at that point.
29	** ''[[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 Mind Rape ''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 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.
30	** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed Gundam Seed]]'': A more minor case, some would say Rau Le Crueset's final words had this effect on Kira Yamato, as in [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny the sequel]] we first see Kira as mostly quiet man, always deep in his thoughts, staring outwards at the world, possibly depressed.
31	*** Kira's mental state at the beginning of ''Destiny'' is based on real-life veterans of war. After seeing so much horror, pain, and death... it does a number on one's psyche, even if you manage to live through it.
32	** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]: Awakening of the Trailblazer'' has the [[StarfishAlien ELS]] accidentally mindraping Setsuna when he tries to tap into their HiveMind using [[LimitBreak Trans-Am Burst]] and tell them to back off. The sheer amount of alien data overwhelms him so utterly Setsuna suffers brain damage and lies in a coma for weeks. Even though as an [[HollywoodEvolution Innovator]], Setsuna is supposed to be superior to normal humans! Then he comes back for a second dose at the end of the film but endures this time because [[ThePowerOfFriendship he dumped the excess data through Tieria]] into Veda. And that's not counting what he might've experienced on the ELS home planet for ''several decades''.
33	** The 9th episode of ''Gundam Evolve'' shows the protagonist, Yurii Ajissah the Red Snake, getting mind raped by the Geminus, an ultimate Psycho Weapon that has decimated the Earth Federal fleet, before being rescued by the White Unicorn, who appears to be Amuro Ray.
34	* In ''Manga/SaintSeiya'', ex-[[TheDragon Dragon]] and actual AloofBigBrother Phoenix Ikki often uses an attack called "Phoenix Genma Ken", which destroys his opponent's mind by trapping them in horrifying visions embodying their deepest, hidden fears, which are indistinguishable from reality. Afterwards, most opponents are left as empty, catatonic shells, their spirits dead. However, Ikki himself gets an absolutely ''brutal'' taste of his own medicine as he fights [[EyesAlwaysShut Virgo]] [[BlindSeer Shaka]] during the Sanctuary saga: [[spoiler:he is shown images of the Seven Stages of Hell, then is given horrifying visions of him and his brother as kids in the Netherworld, and then is progressively stripped of his five physical senses. '''Painfully'''.]].
35	** [[GuileHero Virgo Shaka]] {{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.
36	** In one of the [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]] old movies, ''Warriors of the Holy Battle'', Fallen Angel Throne Moa also was pretty good at this, manipulating his enemies's memories to weaken them and then give 'em the last hit...
37	* Harry's attempts to "hack" Melfina in ''Manga/OutlawStar''. They aren't successful on his part, but the imagery is definitely there (especially so when considering that Gene is tipped off to the first one by Harry's rather... ''excited'' reaction). Melfina figures out how to [[PokeInTheThirdEye stop him]], though.
38	* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' is surprisingly fond of this.
39	** What [[PsychopathicManchild Mao]] does to [[NaiveEverygirl Shirley Fenette]]. [[spoiler:She was ''very'' mentally unstable after learning the truth about her crush, Lelouch, and his role in her father's death and shooting a knight of honor like Viletta. Soon, Mao made it worse by using his PsychicPowers to read her frail mind and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech cruelly play with her]] to reinforce her idea of shooting Lelouch.]] It was so bad that [[spoiler:Lelouch had to ''mind rape her again'' to try fixing the damage, using his Geass to give her LaserGuidedAmnesia.]]
40	** Actually what Mao did to Shirley was more MindProbe, considering what had just happened to her: she was already broken from her and others's actions. To see him deliver a full force mind rape, look at what he does to Suzaku a few episodes later...
41	** What C.C. does to Suzaku to stop him from attacking Lelouch would also qualify; [[spoiler:she shows him memories of his dead father, ex-Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi, who Suzaku himself killed as a young boy]]. It's so bad that Suzaku falls into a catatonic state and is traumatised for a while afterward. Partially excusable in that C.C. admits she had absolutely ''no'' idea what she made Suzaku see; they even mention at the end of the episode that they had to wait until the Lancelot ran out of power to pull a trembling Suzaku out of the cockpit because he freaked out and started shooting everything. Several episodes later, as mentioned above, Mao also brings the issue up, manipulating Suzaku in a similar way he did Shirley, by reading his mind and mocking what he did to [[spoiler: [[SelfMadeOrphan his father]] Genbu]] as well as his guilt over it.
42	*** It gets even better: when Lelouch tries to convince C.C. to escape before Suzaku pulls himself together, he grabs her shoulder and breaks her concentration, causing C.C. to '''accidentally Mind Rape herself'''. And Lelouch to witness both.
43	** Later, C.C. does it to Suzaku a second time, as well as hitting a couple of random bodyguards with the same power; in this case it's completely accidental, as [[spoiler:a side-effect of Lelouch's Geass becoming permanent apparently boosts her own powers]].
44	** According to one of the [[AllThereInTheManual licensed side-novels]] for the show, an adolescent Mao used his power to manipulate an entire village in China into destroying itself by exposing the skeletons in everyone's closets. So, if anything, he's a practiced hand at the Mind Rape.
45	** And the second season reveals that [[spoiler:during the TimeSkip, the Emperor used ''his'' own Geass to give Lelouch FakeMemories]]. Not a traditional Mind Rape, but the scene gets almost uncomfortably close to an actual rape, with [[spoiler:a ''very angry'' Suzaku holding Lelouch down and Lelouch begging for him to stop]]. If one takes into account extra materials like ''Anime/CodeGeassAkitoTheExiled'' and ''Manga/CodeGeassOzTheReflection'' [[spoiler: it happened actually ''three times'' that Lelouch was mind raped by ''his own father''. And the first time involved planting a ''entirely different personality'' in him that, when the procedure started to break down, resulted in ''more'' MindRape to Lelouch.]]
46	*** To make things worse, Charles [[spoiler:also mind-raped Nunnally to make her believe her mother Marianne had been murdered in front of her, mixing this with ''having the seven-year-old girl crippled'' to make the whole deal more believable. As a result, poor Nunnally was not only confined to a wheelchair, but also went blind out of trauma.]] His wife Marianne [[spoiler:constantly erased and rewrote the memories of Anya Earlstreim, an ActionGirl who had become [[SoulJar her vessel]] through GrandTheftMe, to cover all of this up. The poor girl was left [[BrokenBird as an]] [[EmotionlessGirl emotionless wreck]], as she never really knew which memories were truly hers and which were not.]].
47	** If Lelouch uses his Geass to order someone with strong enough willpower to do something utterly abhorrent to them, a Mind Rape-like effect will ensue when the will of the victim tries to fight off the Geass. It happened twice in the series... and aptly enough, [[spoiler:both of them were his sisters]]. He causes mind rapes many more times than that by forcing people to do things against their will often leaving them an emotional wreck afterward; i.e., [[spoiler: when the schoolgirl he geassed into carving marks into the wall of Ashford Academy is evacuated out of Area 11, she's still under the effects of his Geass and ''must'' go back there, leading to her sneaking out repeteadly, to having a nervous breakdown when unable to fulfill the Geass order, to having to be confined and locked away...]]
48	* The Sol Eleven Master Pei La Cain does this a couple of times to Guy in ''Anime/GaoGaiGar FINAL'', showing disjointed flashes of various scenes from both the original anime and the OVA.
49	* In a bizarre example of a good guy doing this, Kurama in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' executes an eternal punishment on the Elder Toguro by trapping him in his own subconscious with a treacherous plant.
50	** Then again, considering that Toguro ''literally'' cannot die, [[ImmortalityHurts it's pretty much the only way to cut off his villainy.]]
51	* The Festum in ''Anime/FafnerInTheAzureDeadAggressor'' use this as their ultimate weapon against mankind.
52	* ''Anime/LastExile'' [[spoiler:Dio's Rite of Covenant is basically a case of MindRape that turns him into a semi-catatonic killing machine]]. Made even worse by the implication that [[VillainousIncest Delphine really does think of Dio]] ''[[VillainousIncest that way...]]''
53	* In ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'', [[spoiler:[[EldritchAbomination Pandemonium]]]] does this pretty much constantly, mentally assaulting anyone and anything she comes in contact with. [[spoiler:In fact, Joshua's insanity wasn't caused by a total [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity power overload]] like originally assumed, but by the fact that Chrono's horns mentally linked Joshua to Pandemonium, meaning he was mind-raped ''almost every waking moment of his life.'']]
54	* In ''Manga/GetBackers'', a surprising good-guy (well, [[SociopathicHero relatively]] [[AntiHero good]]) example: Ban Midou has the power to show people a perfect illusion for one minute, and he often uses this ability to Mind Rape his enemies. And even when he actually ''doesn't'' use it on people (and simply fools them into thinking he used it), it still ends up mind-raping them when they try to wrap their mind around ''when'' exactly he actually ''did'' use it.
55	* In ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'', about one third of the way through the plot, Naraku traps the gang in a field of mist and some sort of root-like plant which traps them and forces them to see hallucinations of which they each fear the most: Miroku's hallucination is his Wind Tunnel breaking its constraints and swallowing him slowly from the hand up; Sango hallucinates about Kohaku killing everybody; Shippo hallucinates that he's completely alone and everyone else in the group has disappeared (leaving only their clothes behind); and Inuyasha hallucinates about Kikyo and him dying together. He's the only one to snap out of it on his own, because he remembers that he needs to protect Kagome.
56	* Virtually any character trapped by a Mangekyo Sharingan user's Tsukuyomi on ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' is forced to endure horrific torture, both mental and physical (the pain is entirely real, although the torture doesn't leave marks on the victim's body), for what appears to the subject as any amount of time that the user deems fit, effectively leaving the victim crippled and in a state of mental collapse.
57	** Various genjutsu can border on this too, as they can conjure up and play on the victim's worst fears and insecurities.
58	*** 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. He also went through it again as a genin, which causes him to leave Konoha as planned by Itachi.
59	*** Special mention goes to Manga Chapters 257-260 where Yuura, being used as a puppet by Itachi, does this to Naruto, trapping him in an illusion where he thinks Sasuke is trying to strangle him, and Kakashi, Gaara, and Sakura are expressing how disappointed and angry they are with him while appearing on different parts of his body. It's enough to bring Naruto to tears. Thankfully, Sakura and Chiyo manage to dispel the Genjutsu with their chakra.
60	** And in 497 [[spoiler: Kyuubi musters up all of the residual loneliness, anger, and hatred buried in Naruto's subconscious and unleashes it on Naruto in order an attempt to win a mental battle. [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu And he wins it]]. With his own will and the help of a chakra-ghost of his mom]].
61	** In chapter 583 Kabuto's adoptive mother is brainwashed to see Kabuto as a stranger to kill and another boy as Kabuto. Quite the TearJerker.
62	** The Infinite Tsukuyomi takes this to the extreme. People trapped in it and bound to the God Tree are drained of their personalities along with their chakra until they become shells of their former selves and converted into White Zetsu soldiers loyal to Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki. And this process takes ''years'' to complete.
63	* Road does this to Lavi in ''Manga/DGrayMan'' when she enters his mind to manipulate his conflicted feelings about becoming the next Bookman and his affection for his friends.
64	** In the anime she also mind rapes General Kevin Yeegar, tormenting him with his failure to prevent the death of his class by an akuma-possessed child. (He was a schoolteacher before becoming an exorcist.) This leads to his HeroicBSOD, leaving him [[spoiler:helpless against Tyki Mikk's finishing blow.]]
65	** Recently, [[spoiler:Wisely]] used an ExpositionBeam to show another character Kanda's childhood memories. [[spoiler:Allen is sickened and profoundly pissed off, and Kanda is in a HeroicBSOD. ''[[TheStoic Kanda]].'']] Even ''[[EvenEvilHasStandards Road]]'' [[EvenEvilHasStandards seems upset by it]]!
66	* [[FaintingSeer Hitomi Kanzaki]], in ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'', gets mind-raped almost every time she has a vision or does a tarot card reading. In Episode 11 it's so bad that the poor girl [[spoiler:almost dies because her heart stops out of the sheer force of said mind rape (to be fair, she ''did'' see Dilandau bloodily kill a shapeshifter by crushing him to death ''with his Guymelef's bare hands'')]]. Also forces Hitomi to declare (to Van, Allen, and almost every other main character) that she hates their world and wants to be sent back home.
67	* Dr. Muraki from ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness'' does this numerous times to most of the people he meets (showing Hisoka memories of him raping him, reminding Tsuzuki that he's not human, guilt-tripping Tsubaki-hime and making her think she killed her friend, etc.)
68	* Genkaku from ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' does this to Nagi while [[ColdBloodedTorture drugging and interrogating him]], reawakening Nagi's suppressed memories of [[spoiler:[[AxCrazy massacring Genkaku's soldiers]] and how his baby is actually still in DW]]. Also, Tamaki does this to all of the Deadmen, via the masks.
69	* In ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'', MasterOfIllusion Mutou attempts this on Mob by tormenting him with illusions of his brother dying. This backfires ''spectacularly'', as Mob has a SuperpowerMeltdown that fries his brain.
70	* Often happens in ''Franchise/DotHack''. The very act of a human being Data Drained is... not healthy; but Tsukasa and Sora in ''Anime/DotHackSign'' really get their minds slammed by Morganna. Tsukasa's was particularly gruesome in "Tempest", forced to lie down, floated into the sky, and her power stomps on his mind and rips his clothes. He spends the next episodes catatonic, but manages to claw his way back to sanity. Sora's was so bad (in episode "Return") that after he was finally freed his mind completely blanked out the experience. So much that he didn't realize when he played the game again as [[spoiler:Haseo]]. AIDA in ''VideoGame/DotHackGU'' also gives its special whammy to its victims.
71	* The series ''Literature/{{Gokudo}}'' has an episode in which gods try to crush the minds of Gokudo and Rubet to take their bodies, by convincing them that their life is painful and worthless. Of course the gods lose and get enslaved by these humans instead. It seem to be useless to even try to do mind attacks on anti-heroes.
72	* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', Ubik (and to a lesser extent, Conrad), one of the [[BigBad God Hand]], pulls an epic variant of this on Griffith to get him to carry out the sacrifices to become a demon god by manipulating his memories to enforce his ambitions. [[spoiler: With Griffith already thoroughly broken by his torture at the hands of the Kingdom of Midland, it works, and The Eclipse goes ahead.]]
73	* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''; 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.]]
74	** Keiichi? Try [[spoiler:Rika, who has lived through hundreds and hundreds of years of mind rape and can't do a damn thing about it, other than restart and live through the torturous process all over again.]]
75	* ''Manga/RaveMaster'''s Sieg Hart uses this on Haru, trapping him in a barrier that turns every single thought he makes into visions where his loved ones gruesomely kill themselves for him.
76	* ''Manga/Cyborg009'' has this happen to the heroes in ''[[TheMovie Conclusion: Gods' War]]''. The villain responsible tries to cast this as [[WhatYouAreInTheDark exposing their]] ''[[WhatYouAreInTheDark true]]'' [[WhatYouAreInTheDark selves]], drawing out and ''twisting'' the very darkest aspects of their character... or, in several cases, their cybernetic enhancements, bringing their worst fears to life. This results in horrifying and [[TearJerker heartbreaking]] scenes like [[spoiler:[[TheHero Joe]] going over the line while beating up a group of ''human'' thugs, [[MagicalNativeAmerican Geronimo]] unable to meditate because CyberneticsEatYourSoul, [[SuperSenses Francoise]] going into a BSOD because she can't turn off her powers anymore, [[ArmCannon Albert]] being unable to hide his cybernetics, and/or [[VoluntaryShapeshifter G.B.]] ''[[SuperPowerMeltdown melting down]] in front of everyone''.]]
77	* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' [[spoiler:Aizen]] is a ''MASTER'' of this trope, in both the supernatural and MoreThanMindControl variations. Poor, poor [[spoiler:Hinamori]]...
78	** Anime only, in the "New Captain Shusuke Amagai arc" where Hanza Nukui uses his Bakkoto, Saiga, to look into Ichigo's memories, and then tortures him with the memories of the death of his mother. Hanza makes it so she tries to choke Ichigo, making it so Ichigo can't harm her or fight back. He tells Ichigo he'll only be able to save himself if he can kill his mother. However, before Ichigo chokes to death, the pleasant memories with his mother comes up from deep within him. Ichigo then tells his mother how much everybody misses her. Before she vanishes, she smiles after Ichigo thanks her for protecting him that day.
79	** In the X-Cution arc, Shukuro Tsukishima can use the psychic variant by [[spoiler:manipulating the memories of the person who will be useful to his plans and make them believe he's always been there]] ''and'' combine it with the second by [[spoiler: forcing Ichigo to interact with him ''in the surroundings of his brainwashed loved ones'', doing it so well that when Ichigo cracks and attacks him, everyone thinks ''Ichigo's'' the one in the wrong and is going mad. So Ichigo, whose biggest aim is to protect people, can't save them from Tsukishima... and is completely helpless; the poor guy is so freaked out that he wants to '''kill''' Tsukishima, something he hesitated to do with Hollows, Arrancars or Shinigami alike. It takes a MASSIVE intervention by Rukia and SEVERAL other Shinigamis to stop him. Anyone who tries to fight off his Mind Rape, will experience a full mental breakdown. Poor Orihime and Chad.]]
80	** As Nodt from the Vandereich invokes the psychic variation [[spoiler:by 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. [[NightmareFuel/{{Bleach}} It's as horrible as you think.]]
81	* ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'' is practically built upon this trope.
82	* Apparently, in ''Manga/Reborn2004'', all Vongola bosses must go through a 'Vongola trial' to be fit to be mafia bosses where they are put near death to test their resolution. Tsuna was trapped in Hibari's hedgehog box weapon for his trial and was consequently mind raped.
83	** Also, the preferred fighting method of mist specialists, who basically create mental illusions to slowly chip away at their target's sanity. Mukuro Rokudo/Chrome Dokuro are the most proficient at that. In fact, said illusions are so realistic in the victim's mind that they triggered Hibari's allergic reaction to cherry blossoms, can physically incapacitate you until the person creating the illusions decides to let you go (if your mind is not strong enough), and can apparently create pseudo-organs that basically function as normal body parts (as Chrome's missing stomach/intestines, etc).
84	** [[spoiler: Daemon Spade]] joined the list, by mind-raping [[spoiler: Crome]] ro full obedience, and planning to steal the body of [[spoiler: Mukuro]].
85	* Happens in ''Manga/AlienNine'', to go along with all of the other horrible things that happen to the cute little girls involved. Doesn't help that one of the characters is ([[MindScrew probably]]) literally raped during the scene as well.
86	* We see that [[spoiler:Seimei]] from ''Manga/{{Loveless}}'' does this to [[spoiler:(deep breath) Yoji, Natsuo, Ritsu, Soubi AND his [[BrotherSisterIncest beloved]] younger brother, Ritsuka.]] Of course, these are only the people we SEE him mind raping in action. It's implied that there are more victims, not even including the ones that he told Nisei, his subordinate, to do. It's a weird example, because not only does he SEEM display the more "mundane" type, but his unexplained powers can harm people with words, which is usually a Fighter Unit's power, never a Sacrifice's, and he can do so outside of a battle.
87	* ''Manga/TowardTheTerra'' has quite a bit of this; in particular, a dystopian society reminiscent of ''Literature/TheGiver'' does this systematically to everyone when they hit age 14, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia destroying all of their childhood memories]]. They also use a LotusEaterMachine-like effect to try to get information out of people, and the "psychological exams" are... unpleasant.
88	* ''Manga/KamenNoMaidGuy'' has Kogarashi's Daydreaming Maid Guy Illusion, which he attempts to use to motivate Fubuki and Naeka to lose weight. He starts by making them believe that their breasts have disappeared, moves on to making them think that they're turning into men, and it only gets worse from there. They're obviously traumatized afterward.
89	* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Parallel Works #8'' shows that the StartOfDarkness of Spiral King Lordgenome was being mind raped [[spoiler:by the Anti-Spiral, which showed him horrific images of the Spiral Nemesis]].
90	* Despite all of the fanservice, ''Anime/DivergenceEve'' is full of this, not too much on the level of ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]]'', but still some of the stuff that happens in that show is pretty fucked up. Poor Misaki...
91	* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'': This is Zorin Blitz's specialty. In the manga and the [=7th=] OVA she performs a [[MoralEventHorizon particularly cruel]] one of these on Seras. She delves deep into Seras's memories, forcing her to relive her painful childhood, where she had to watch her parents be murdered by gangsters and her mother's corpse being raped. While Seras is trapped in the illusion, Zorin hacks off her arm, stabs her through the back, and [[EyeScream slices her eyes]]. She tries this again when Seras is attacking her for murdering and insulting Pip but Seras overcomes it [[spoiler: because Pip begged her to suck him dry before he died. Since this ''was'' a LastRequest, she did it, and it awakened her into a true vampire; she now had Pip's soul within her, and it helped block Zorin's second attempt at Mind Rape.]]
92	* In episode 6 of ''Anime/AngelBeats'' [[spoiler: Naoi]] attempts to use his hypnosis ability to implant fake happy memories into [[spoiler: Yuri's]] mind so that she can disappear. Fortunately for everyone, things don't exactly go as planned.
93	** Done to [[spoiler: Hinata]] in Episode 7 when [[spoiler: Naoi]] hypnotizes him to think he's worse than a clothespin. Surprisingly, HilarityEnsues.
94	** Naoi attempts to do so again to Hinata in Episode 11, except this time to make him think that he is toilet paper. Fortunately, Otonashi stops him.
95	* Hikitsu from ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' is revealed to have this as his seishi power. When he removes his EyepatchOfPower, he can make his enemy mentally relive their worse memories... and he can see them as well.
96	* [[spoiler:[[CreepyChild Q]]]] in ''Manga/BungoStrayDogs'' has an ability which is this entire trope. Anyone who harms him become the receiver for his curse, and when he mutilates the doll he carries around with him, they begun to hallucinate causing them to attack anyone near them, friend or foe.
97	* In ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'', [[DeadlyUpgrade the Zero System]] causes a Mind Rape 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 giving 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: [[https://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.)... Many of the other pilots took brief spins and got hit the same way. Even [[TheStoic Heero]] for a time. It took ''two'' mecha with such a system (Heero in the Epyon vs. Zechs in the Wing Zero) and the most intense battle of their lives to get the pilots beyond the madness and make sense of it all, finally pushing them beyond their mecha's capabilities. They eventually called a truce and switched mecha. Realizing that it could be beat, Heero would later get the other pilots to pilot the Wing Zero again, this time with the intention of pushing through. Each of them would in their own way (in particular, Wufei turns his experience into a ''vision quest'').
98	** ZERO System's effects on the pilot seem to be twofold in the realm of Mind Raping. The first is the manner in which the data exported by the ZERO System's tactical analysis is interpreted by the brain. In most recorded cases of use, the pilot has experienced vivid hallucinations which also cause a time dilation effect on the pilot's perception. (The hallucinations are experienced as flashes over a short period of time.) The second is the train of the thought by the pilot. Stray thoughts cause the computer to adjust its tactical analysis accordingly and feed relevant information back to the pilot, EVEN if it's directed in a manner the System isn't meant to address. For example, Heero frequently states that his enemies are the people who mean him harm. In light of that the System tells him to kill the Gundam scientists (likely to prevent further MS development) and later to kill Zechs, as the only person in possession of a comparable Mobile Suit.
99	%% Zero-context* ''Literature/{{Sukisho}}'': This is a big central plot theme in the later episodes.
100	* In the RS arc of ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'', a Magma EliteMook had the special ability to make people hallucinate with his flames. Ruby was forced to relive his worst memories [[HoistByHisOwnPetard (good thing that's the one thing that encourages to keep fighting)]], while Tate and Liza fought illusions to the point of exhaustion (they would have eventually killed themselves if Juan didn't save them offscreen). However, this ability goes straight into horror when he fights Brawly, when it appears that monsters emerging from paintings are grabbing at him and his Pokémon.
101	* In ''Literature/TrinityBlood'', Dietrich, who possesses technologically advanced puppet strings that allow him to control a victim's nervous system (meaning, he can control both their senses and their movements), has a scene in the light novels where he basically threatens to do this to Esther by saying that he could make her experience unimaginable agony or the feeling of ten men playing with her body, all while she is unable to move and is being forced by Dietrich to cruelly shoot her comrade in non-lethal areas.
102	* Arguably what happens to ''Manga/DeathNote'''s Light Yagami when he [[spoiler:[[MemoryGambit regains his memories]] at the end of the Yotsuba Arc. Makes sense, since he was basically forced to watch [[GambitPileup the whole series up to that point]] in the span of thirty seconds. That, and he just remembered killing millions of people]].
103	* This happens to ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'''s Madoka, when she [[spoiler: got caught in the witch Kirsten's barrier. The witch then uses her powers to torture Madoka by re-playing Mami's death over and over while subjecting her to BodyHorror.]]
104	** [[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.]] She did not enjoy it.
105	*** Of course, [[spoiler:said Mind Rape is to show her why she should become a MagicalGirl. She ultimately does, but it backfires on Kyubey ''[[NiceJobFixingItVillain spectacularly]]'']].
106	* Midnight delivers two to [[spoiler:Jellal]] in quick succession in ''Manga/FairyTail'', first by taunting him about a past he can't remember, making him out to be the sort of monster that [[spoiler:Jellal]] clearly fears he was, then creating an illusion where [[spoiler:Jellal]] is ''eaten'' and then swamped by ghoulish forms of children-presumably children that he used.
107	* In ''Literature/KyouranKazokuNikki'', Gekka explicitly has this ability and has used it on others on occasion.
108	* 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.]]
109	* ''Manga/{{MAR}}'': Alviss is the victim of this by Phantom in the Ghost Chess arc.
110	* ''Anime/KillLaKill'': Ragyo Kiryuin [[spoiler:does this to Ryuko Matoi, the protagonist]], by implanting FakeMemories of a happy childhood and eventual wedding, as motivation to pull a FaceHeelTurn. The scene is peppered with disturbing sexual overtones, since [[spoiler:Ragyo is a sexual predator, intent on molesting her own daughters, including Ryuko]], 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".
111	* In ''Anime/{{Noein}}'', [[spoiler: when Noein has Haruka in his clutches he shows her a BadFuture of her friends being [[BreakTheCutie broken]] in various ways as self-justification for his own nihilism]], made all the worse because the scene is ''dripping'' with [[NoYay sexual tension between him and Haruka]], and because [[spoiler: he is an evil version of Yuu, Haruka's own sweetheart]].
112	* In ''Anime/CrossAnge'', the protagonist Ange gets subjected with this against [[spoiler: the BigBad just by having the latter touch Ange's head with his finger.]]
113	* 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.
114	* In episode 16 of the 1999 ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' anime, Leorio has to face off against Leroute, a dangerous former psychologist who is known for having driven several of her patients to suicide. She makes Leorio fall into his psychological trap and begins to torture him mentally making him believe that all his friends hate him. Leorio mentally breaks and is on the verge of going insane, until Gon hits him with his fishing pole and Leorio regains consciousness.

117	[[folder:"Mundane" Torture]]
118	* In the manga ''Manga/Limit2009'', Morishige does this to all of the other survivors except Hinata. She's particularly hard on Haru, eventually driving her to kill her best friend, then decides to rub Haru's face in the fact that she tried to kill her "best friend". All this ''just because she felt like it''.
119	* In ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool'', [[spoiler:Chisa Yukizome]] is strapped to a chair and is forced to watch a brainwashing video which she slowly resists, until the person subjecting her to this uses two needles and inserts them into her brain, lobotomizing her and weakening her enough until the brainwashing was done.
120	* ''Manga/{{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, [[AllLovingHero Kenzou Tenma]], is a master of the MindHug.
121	** Honourable mention goes to Kinderheim 511, an OrphanageOfFear that specialized in personality destruction. [[EvilerThanThou They met their match in Johan, however.]]
122	* What Akito Sohma did to Kana in ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' is a mix of this and MoreThanMindControl. [[spoiler:After Akito blinded Hatori for asking her for permission to marry Kana, she turned against the poor nurse and blamed her so much for Hatori's partial blindness that she drove her mad. It was so bad that Hatori had to delete Kana's memories of their relationship, so effective and cruel Akito's mind rape of her was]]. We can also count Akito [[spoiler:similarly "torturing" Yuki as a kid, telling him he was unwanted and useless every time; poor Yuki was deeply traumatized for years]]. Also, [[spoiler:telling Kyo constantly that he was a monster who could never be loved and should be locked up probably wasn't too helpful either.]]
123	** It's also stated in the manga that [[spoiler:Akito herself was a ''victim'' of mind rape at the hands of her own mother, Ren, who told her nonstop that everyone would abandon and hate her ever since she was about ''five'' years old. All out of jealousy because Akito was a DaddysGirl and Ren was jealous of her own daughter, specially after her dad died]]. This [[FreudianExcuse explains]], although not justifies, Akito's misogyny and cruelty towards everybody else.
124	* ''Manga/OnePiece'' has several examples.
125	** Everything about Spandam's brutal treatment of Robin is a very vicious version of Mundane Mind Rape. Apart from the beating he gives her, he calls her worthless, blames her for said beating and nearly drives her to suicide. Robin is tough, but he would have [[{{Mundanger}} succeeded]] if not for the Straw Hats encouraging her to live.
126	*** The Marines also performed a long running Mundane Mind Rape on her. Starting at when she was 8 years old, they managed to utterly convince her over a 20 year period that her mere existence was a sin. Lucky she has Luffy declare war on the world and to say she had value.
127	** Sir Crocodile is a ''master'' of this. He's a man who loathes feelings of hope and loyalty amongst those he deems to be weak, believing the weak should know their place against the strong. If he sees said people have these traits, he will do his best to crush those feelings in the most cold and calculating way possible. Made worse by the fact that he is a ManipulativeBastard (of MagnificentBastard, if you prefer) who prefers his mind rape to be slow and prolonged. He constantly played mind games with Princess Vivi [[ForTheEvulz purely for his own amusement]], and to stifle her hopes of saving her country. Even to the point where, after making her watch as her soldiers die, and as Crocodile cuts down those important to her, Crocodile holds her by the throat over edge of a high balcony, delivers a BreakingSpeech about how all her hopes, dreams, and efforts have not only been useless, but ''given him more people to kill than he would have if she didn't do anything.'' Then he drops her. And not by letting her go; by turning his hand to sand, so her struggle to grab his arm to save herself would be in vain. By the end of the Alabasta Arc, Crocodile's cruelty, and the sight of her people killing themselves in a civil war Crocodile orchestrated, [[BreakTheCutie finally drove the poor princess to a]] HeroicBSOD. Fortunately for Vivi, her TrueCompanions are there for her, and Luffy not only catches her mid-fall but he also kicks Crocodile's ass.
128	** [[spoiler:The death of Portgas D. Ace.: He dies right before Luffy's eyes to protect him, not fifteen minutes after he has been saved, cuing a HeroicBSOD. It was understandable considering what Luffy had been through to save Ace, most notably fighting in a war far out of league, after having been poisoned until the point of melting, while the cure took ten years of his life. The impact is further enhanced in the anime, as he literaly becomes a colorless husk of a body]] to show the damage [[spoiler:Ace also broke his promise not to die, a promise he made after his other brother died.]]
129	* 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.]]
130	** 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.]]
131	* 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 not so different 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]] (though Suzaku doesn't seem to know about that liiiiiittle detail), 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.
132	* Gauron of ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'' loves to do this to all of his intended victims. Sousuke seems to be his most consistent target.
133	* ''Manga/DeathNote'' at the end of the series, [[spoiler: [[AntiHero 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.
134	* This is how [[spoiler: Souji Mikage and Mamiya Chida]] recruit the Black Rose Duelists in ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'', preying on people who are [[HeroicBSOD at the lowest points]] [[DespairEventHorizon of their lives]] and [[ManipulativeBastard using their insecurities]] to make them join the Black Rose cause.
135	** Even worse, [[spoiler: Akio and Anthy (who was actually posing as poor Mamiya) inflict this ''on Mikage himself'' in the end of the Black Rose arc.]]
136	* ''[[Manga/BlackButler Kuroshitsuji II]]'': After he killed Alois, Claude abducted Ciel, drugged him, practically drowned him, and overall screwed with his head to accomplish his goals.
137	* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' [[spoiler:the Kyuubi's]] psychic assault failed and it was defeated, leaving him little influence over Naruto. Seeing no other way to harass Naruto, he turned to [[BreakingSpeech criticizing Naruto's goals and beliefs]], trying to convince him he would fail before he even began. Naruto [[ShutUpHannibal told him to shut the hell up]].
138	** [[spoiler:Yami Naruto]] straddles the line between the mundane and psychic. He's [[spoiler:a manifestation of all of Naruto's dark emotions and deeply-seated insecurities, and so can dredge up all of his most hated memories and fears]], but can only express himself to Naruto verbally.
139	** Orochimaru pulled something like this in the Chuunin Exams on Sasuke and Sakura. By exposing both kids to his pure KillingIntent, the two of them hallucinated their own bloody deaths, leaving them paralysed in fear.
140	* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' gives us another case of mind rape which happened during the Eclipse, one that was much more heinous. [[spoiler:Griffith, who is now Femto, forces Guts to watch as he rapes his love Casca to insanity right in front of him. This act is all too similar to Guts' own rape experience as a child: being pinned down and left utterly helpless at the hands of a man who betrayed him, only now he has to see the actual act happen to someone he loves. [[FridgeHorror And the worst part?]] Griffith might have intentionally done this [[ColdBloodedTorture to torture Guts even more]], though Guts had only told one person about his horrible childhood: [[LoveInterest Casca,]] who actually [[IntimatePsychotherapy helped Guts overcome his trauma.]] Meaning that Griffith might have some omniscience that saw into Guts' AchillesHeel.]] It's no wonder that [[spoiler:Guts wants Griffith dead with every fiber of his being now.]]
141	* In ''Manga/WolfGuyWolfenCrest'' we have [[spoiler: Haguro and his goons gang-raping Inugami's MoralityChain Akiko Aoshika]], to BreakTheCutie. It crosses into this when [[spoiler: Haguro gives poor Aoshika a PsychoSerum to screw with her mind and make her ''enjoy her own rape''.]]
142	* ''Manga/PandoraHearts'':
143	** [[spoiler:[[EvilAllAlong Jack Vessalius]]]] does this extremely effectively to [[spoiler:Oz]] by showing them immensely traumatizing memories from their forgotten past, including [[spoiler:the memories of being forced to kill countless innocent people as the B-rabbit despite not wanting to. Jack finishes off by telling Oz, "You've never really had anything to call your own, anyway. Don't forget that..."]]
144	** All that crazy stuff that happens to Alice early on in the series, such as the Will of the Abyss trying to [[BreakThemByTalking break her by talking]] and her less-than-pleasant memory fragments that haunt her in Cheshire's dimension.
145	* Surprisingly played for laughs in ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'': [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Nora]] tries uses her mind-reading abilities to show everyone [[{{Otaku}} Keima's]] "Most precious thing." It starts with a loading screen. Then a copyright notice. Rated [[InSeriesNickname God]]. (Caution: Making unauthorized copies, rentals, streaming, public viewing, and other commercial use of this imagination is strictly prohibited). Then she tries to turn DatingSim dream into a complete nightmare. Naturally, he doesn't [[LetsGetDangerous take it]] [[UnstoppableRage very]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments well]].
146	* In ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'', [[SociopathicSoldier Takaoka]] was easily defeated by [[BewareTheNiceOnes Nagisa]], who smiled at him while he carried out his attack. When Nagisa defeats him again after Takaoka's plan for revenge fails, the soldier ''[[AnythingButThat begs]]'' Nagisa ''not to smile at him''. The moment he does, all shreds of sanity Takaoka still has vanish.
147	* In the ''Manga/{{Golgo 13}}'' chapter "Hydra", a Corsican drug ring captures an undercover agent and, rather than killing him, give him a massive overdose of the extremely pure heroin they've managed to create. This is explained ''after'' we've seen the utterly insane agent in question.
