7''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' has already been mentioned in the Anime section, but the TV series has nothing on some of the bad endings of the original game and/or its updated releases.

10* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Bo56u4vXShM#t=280s This new ending for HQ remake]] in which a really [[SlasherSmile evil-looking]] Sekai pushes Kotonoha into the path of an oncoming train, ''in full view of everyone in the train station.'' Makoto grabs onto her hand in an attempt to pull her back, but he's a second too late — and you can actually SEE the train hitting Kotonoha, leaving Makoto staring in shock and clutching her [[DeadHandShot severed hand.]]
11* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0acsC6DkM4 This original PC ending]] in which Kotonoha slices Sekai's throat in front of Makoto. Damn that HighPressureBlood and Kotonoha's EvilLaugh.
12** There's also an extended version of the ending in the Platform/PlayStation2 version of the game, where Makoto accidentally slits Kotonoha's palms when he tries to get the hacksaw out of her hands. Kotonoha then tries to strangle poor Makoto before [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone coming to her senses and]] [[TearJerker breaking down in tears.]]
13** Also, before that ending happens, Kotonoha overhears Makoto and Sekai going at it. She's not only crying, she's [[LaughingMad laughing maniacally]]! Geez!
14* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBGcwQNAnMI Another original ED]] where more HighPressureBlood is had when Kotonoha [[SpurnedIntoSuicide throws herself off a building]] in front of Sekai and Makoto. This leaves Makoto so traumatized that he breaks up with Sekai [[TheMourningAfter and swears off romance and dating forever.]]
15* The official end of the anime is pretty disturbing. After inviting Sekai over, Makoto is stabbed multiple times by her and is thinking back to all the times where he and Sekai got along while being knifed by her. Kotonoha, after arriving home from the store, discovers his corpse as well as a large pool of blood around him. Rather than go to the police, she ''decapitates'' him and places his head in a gym bag. She calls Sekai over to the school roof, makes her look at Makoto's severed head, and then kills her. The best part of the scene? Kotonoha cuts her open and checks to see if she really was pregnant. We can only hope that Kotonoha's claim that she wasn't is true. The broadcast version replaces the red blood with BlackBlood. Somehow, this can be even ''more'' disturbing.
16** Kotonoha cutting Sekai open to check and see if she's really pregnant is made even {{Squick}}ier by the fact that the direct aftermath is shown from the perspective of the (''hopefully'') hypothetical fetus--that's right, we're looking at Kotonoha ''[[NauseaFuel from within Sekai's dissected womb!]]''

19%%* The Cross Days manga has 3 moments.
20%%** The first one is when Yuuki [[http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/9973/02-012.0/compressed/tpage005.jpg finds out that]] [[http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/9973/02-012.0/compressed/tpage006.jpg both Kotonoha and Sekai are Makoto's girlfriends after he thought Makoto was two-timing Kotonoha behind her back]], which is oddly eerie in the way it's presented, [[http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/9973/02-012.0/compressed/tpage007.jpg plus his horrified expressions when finding it out]], [[http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/9973/02-012.0/compressed/tpage009.jpg each word uttered by Kotonoha pushing him further over the edge]].
21%%** The second is, when Makoto [[KickTheDog blurts out to Sekai and Kotonoha that he's "Yu"]], Kotonoha calls him to the roof...and we are treated to this [[http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/9973/02-012.0/compressed/tpage020.jpg expression of Kotonoha]]. Made even worse by the fact that it comes out of nowhere, and that it's genuine anger with zero {{Yandere}} traits. She's sweet girl on one page, and next page, instant furious expression.
22%%** The last one, at the end of the chapter the aforementioned moment takes place, Kotonoha calls Yuuki out on deceiving her and breaking her trust by crossdressing as Yu to get close to Makoto and lying to everyone...which sends him over the DespairEventHorizon and to try [[http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/9973/02-012.0/compressed/tpage028.jpg THIS]]. Yuuki ultimately gets better, thanks to Roka's DivingSave for him.
