4	''On The Edge'' (ヒューマンバグ大学_闇の漫画, "Human Bug University Dark Manga" in Japanese) is a manga dub channel created by Katsuo Hirayama. It features segments starring a specific character and their ways to deal with violent and extreme situations:
5	* '''''Torture:''''' Self-proclaimed "Torture Sommelier" Shigeo Ijuin tortures criminals in gruesome ways to avenge said criminals' victims. Later on, these episodes focused on Kabuto Kotoge, a young Yakuza who tortured whoever messed with his clan or at the very least, set underground businesses in his clan's territory.
6	* '''''Punishment:''''' It follows the hardships of Jiro Kurebayashi, a former delinquent with a strong sense of justice. His superhuman strength and violent resolve when beating evildoers to a pulp earned him the name "Red Demon".

8	* '''''Dream Hunter:''''' This segment follows a man named Joji Kito traveling around the world to taste various delicacies, no matter if he is grossed out and/or falls ill from eating them.

To further rub salt in the wound, under the guise they themselves had a "misunderstanding", and caught the wrong guy, they kill him anyway.
121	** In ''Rabbit Torture'', a popular streamer uses his popularity to blackmail one of his fans into sending him nudes, and threatened to share them online if she didn't have sex with him, upon which he'd erase all the evidence. At the end of his torture, Shigeo asks him how many subscribers he has, and decides to revolve him around the wheel in one lap for each subscriber that he has.
122	** In ''The most ancient torture known to man'', a high-school teacher kidnaps and rapes one of his students in order to "vent". Shigeo asks the teacher how many times he's done this, and decides to finish him off by throwing one set of stones at him for each time he committed this crime.

124	* HotBlade: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24vrkfSTLnA Death by a Thousand Cuts]]'' features a gang boss who raped and tortured a high-school girl with his two buddies for 40 days, referencing the real-life case of Junko Furuta.

125	* HumanTraffickers: [[https://youtu.be/q4LF6QGXCS4 Kagawa]] is the leader of the Jingi Gang, which makes a living off of human trafficking. When his most recent victim Satsuki tried to escape, he slashed her tendons to keep her from running before raping and killing her.
126	* {{Hypocrite}}: Many of Shigeo's victims complain about how what he does is illegal. While that is technically true, they themselves aren't so above it, as their crimes are always what got them there in the first place. Shigeo always points this out whenever they complain.
127	* ISurrenderSuckers: In the episode ''[[https://youtu.be/8IXdlSRoWSM Amou clan rat race for the open seat as clan leader]]'', [[spoiler:Mr. Minamida apologizes to Mr. Kitagawa right when the latter was about to finish him off, causing Kitagawa to desist and tell him to leave town. However, it was an act and Minamida sets him on fire the moment he wasn't looking.]]
128	* IdolSinger: In the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69xecvl5ZL0 The violent idol management company gets punished]]'', Jiro gets a job as the assistant manager for a group of these.
129	* IfICantHaveYou:
130	** Yoichi Kashima from the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hLN4lYBLRM The female torture sommelier tears his stomach apart]]'' raped and murdered his English language teacher for turning him down. He didn't get arrested because his father was the Attorney General.
131	** The intro of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4LF6QGXCS4 Torture Sommelier vs Dagger-weilding Yakuza]]'' [sic] features a stalker who strangled a young woman named Miho to death for dating someone other than him.
132	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
133	** [[https://youtu.be/wi4HaKE4p8A In this episode]], Shigeo impales a delinquent who ambushed the client and his fiancée and raped her, which drove her mad and committed suicide.
134	** Darius is a Torture Sommelier descended from Transylvanian nobility who specializes in impalement. [[https://youtu.be/u4w8WmFphcg In this episode]], Shigeo receives his assistance when accepting a request to torture an oversea criminal named Brad, a fraudulent tour guide who raped and strangled a Japanese tourist, and his father, a congressman who covered up the crime. While Shigeo and Darius impaled the two, Darius also installed a heater in the pile that would burn the victims from the inside, which Shigeo compares to the Chinese torture, Shakuja.
135	* InelegantBlubbering: The criminals bawl their eyes out in pain after enduring Shigeo's tortures.
136	* TheInformant: Shigeo has two: a pale white-haired guy wearing black clothing and a hostess in a blue cocktail dress. The episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2hzmxPWIxw&t=376s Crucifixion]]'' introduces a third one, a middle-aged man in Skid Row who assisted Shigeo in his search for criminal Mark Ikegami.
137	* InfernalRetaliation: In the episode [[https://youtu.be/VqM3OKsxdlQ FIre can't stop the legendary delinquent]] [sic], Kaneko and Narita burned Jiro alive for a second time, only for Jiro to power through the burns and knock Kaneko with a single punch, while his friend Katakura punched Narita.
138	* IronMaiden: The episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzhruBS6NfA Gochiso-zeme]]''[='=]s prologue has both Shigeo and his assistant Rukawa stuffing a corrupt politician and his hitman into the titular device.
139	* JapaneseDelinquents: Jiro Kurebayashi is a guy in his twenties who had a past as a notoriously strong delinquent. However, he has a great sense of justice and is still strong enough to dish out beatings to anyone despicable enough to deserve it and has the decency to turn himself in whenever he does.
140	* KarmicDeath: Shigeo's tortures often suit his victims' punishment. For example, in this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN-AEMNsNsI episode]], the CorruptCorporateExecutive forced a woman into bottling ''an entire tequila'' and she died from alcohol poisoning. As punishment, Shigeo forces a mixture of water, car battery fluids, and even tequila, down in the CEO's throat until he drowns.
141	* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Many criminals get away with their crimes only for their victims to hire Shigeo to give them their overdue punishment.
142	* KarmicMisfire: Sometimes, there's cases where the criminals not only avoid punishment but use their power and/or connections to have an innocent suffer it in their place. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id5aPi4Tk_I The Pear of Anguish]]'' is an example of this, featuring [[spoiler:a corrupted Minister of Justice framing a mentally-disabled man for the rapes and murders committed by his son, leading to said man's execution.]]
143	* KidnappedFromBehind: Shigeo's preferred means of capturing criminals is by faux-garroting them.
144	* KillItWithFire:
145	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWRYr-LVmQc The Bull of Phalaris]]'': A delinquent who broke into the client's house while he was at work, raped said man's wife and murdered her along with her two kids (the oldest being ''3 years old'') is punished in the titular device. As the victim starts to writhe in painful agony, Shigeo explains how the bull works.
146	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=924-G_ii70E The Wicker Man]]'': A delinquent who had his girlfriend accuse a man of touching her to the point he takes his own life after being forced to admit to it to the police, is shoved into the titular device. He dies a long, painful death.
147	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlZ6cG-P8B4 The Tire Necklace]]'': A LoonyFan who stalked, then raped and impregnated a famous athlete is subjected to the titular torture: Shigeo places a tire around the rapist's neck, pours gasoline on it and sets it ablaze, burning his vocal cords and disfiguring his face as the tire melts. This torture originated in South Africa.
148	** At the end of ''Feeding to Army Ants'', Shigeo orders Rukawa to burn down the loan shark's corpse along with the fire ants feasting on it to prevent infestation.
149	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yokrc1R5Neo Boiling Oil Bath Torture]]'': Kotetsu Kuga finds out a subordinate of his named Azuma ratted the location of his money out to a rival gang named "Giga Death". After killing all of said gang's members, Kotetsu throws him into an oil-filled barrel and had his other subordinate Nojima boil it down and put a plate with a candle floating on the boiling oil, which will set it along with him on fire if he moves too much. When he managed to resist until the candle went out and confessed to his betrayal, Kotetsu burns him anyway by throwing a burning cigarette butt at the oil.
150	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4L08lINY5E Torture Sommelier vs Elite Yakuza of the Kyogoku Clan]]'': The episode's client Goro Oshima found out his daughter Haruko was raped and then burned alive. Then he turned to Shigeo after the cops took too long to catch the perpetrator, whom Godai reveals was a former Kyougoku-gumi member named Tatsuo Fujioka, who was excommunicated for being a chronic druggie. When Shigeo tortured him by nailing piles into his head, he got tired and burned ''him'' alive instead.
151	* KnowYourVines: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hxqmp3Ttii0 Giant Hogweed]]'', Hirofumi is tending to a plant his girlfriend Chie gave him. To his surprise, it started growing at such a fast rate that he decided to trim it, only to get the sap on his left eye and hands, which swelled them up and caused him burning pain. When he got rushed into the hospital, the doctor tells him that the plant he tended to was the titular giant hogweed.
152	* KubrickStare: Shigeo's clients display this kind of stare when they show their need for vengeance.
153	* LackOfEmpathy: Pretty much all of Shigeo's victims show no regret or remorse for the atrocious crimes they've committed or how they affected the lives of others. Shigeo claims that this makes his job much easier, likely because he doesn't need to feel as bad for killing them in cold blood.
154	* LoanShark: The episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atsYpSlyWD0 Feeding to Army Ants]]'' features one who forced the client, named Ken Iwata, to pay what he owed. When he refused, the loan shark sicced thugs on him, his wife, and her sister.
155	* LoonyFan: The episode ''The Tire Necklace'' features one who stalked, raped, and impregnated a famous athlete named Kyoko Oizumi for marrying someone other than him.
156	* LosingIsWorseThanDeath: Invoked in the episode ''Crucifixion''. Before he is finished off, Mark Ikegami gloats about how he still wins in the end, because the video he used to blackmail Yuri will be permanently online. However, Shigeo, aware of the video, hired a professional hacker who successfully took down every copy of the video. It isn't until it is announced to him that he ultimately lost that he screams in agony before getting the last stake jammed through his head.
157	* LuredIntoATrap: In ''Feeding to Vultures'', Shigeo contacts a hostess named Emma to infiltrate a host club named "Vivia", which the criminal who raped his client's daughter frequents. Once she has him in her thrall and takes him to a hotel room, a waiting Shigeo faux-garrotes the bastard and captures him for torture.
158	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: The channel lives on this trope.
159	** How Shigeo even ''gets'' clients when he doesn't advertise his services, let alone capture (scummy) people for torture without getting caught by the police in the first place seems unexplainable.
160	** The reason for Jiro's black hair turning red and pointing up before he starts beating despicable criminals is unknown. Heck, Jiro's whole existence is this.
161	** Hirofumi Satake's strange ability to survive and heal from exotic incurable diseases and poisons can't be explained by doctors.
162	* ModelScam: The client from ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyuNP6AsAKg Lead Sprinkler]]'' became a victim of this; she was drugged and raped before the alleged agency (actually a criminal group) worked her like a slave.
163	* MolotovCocktail: Mr. Minamida from the episode ''[[https://youtu.be/8IXdlSRoWSM Amou clan rat race for the open seat as clan leader]]'' is a Yakuza who uses these as a main weapon.
164	* MonsterOfTheWeek: Each of the ''Torture'' and ''Punishment'' episodes have one new main villain for Shigeo and Jiro to go after.
165	* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: At the start of the ''Dream Hunter'' episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddqYuPFE_D8 Roasted Armadillo]]'', Joji saw a crocodile and his guide told him to leave it alone.
166	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Jiro's victims end up beaten to a pulp whenever they do something despicable enough to trigger his "Red Demon" persona.
167	* NoNameGiven: Shigeo's informants have no name given. However, the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hLN4lYBLRM The female torture sommelier tears his stomach apart]]'' reveals that the white-haired informant's name is Godai.
168	* NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization:
169	** The delinquent from the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiNhFAGp4Ew The Heretic's Fork]]'' justifies his rape streak in the middle of his torture, only to have one of his testicles torn out by [[spoiler:Shigeo's alligator pliers]] until passing out. However, the titular instrument stabbing his chin and sternum kept him from doing so.
170	** The Romanian criminal father-son duo from ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4w8WmFphcg Ijyuin meets a descendant from Transylvania]]'' tell Shigeo and Darius that the girl the former has raped enjoyed it, leading to obvious results. When the two criminals start begging Shigeo for forgiveness while impaled on a heated tin pile, he throws the rationalization back at them before heating the pile all the way, melting the tin, and causing them a slow, painful death.
171	* OffWithHisHead: "Scythe" Sakamoto from the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfEAGIGqF04 You lose 4 fingers if you sleep with a Yakuza leader's girl...]]'' loved to chop people's heads off with sickles.
172	* OnTheRebound: Mark Ikegami from the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2hzmxPWIxw Crucifixion]]'', was a high-school dropout who lied about his credentials to an unsuspecting young woman named Yuri, just because he wanted girls. Out of fear that Yuri would find out about his lies, he dumped her and attempted to date another woman. He would then attempt to get back together with her when that didn't work out. After she refused, Mark attempts to blackmail her with a pornographic film of him raping her, and proceeded to stab her to death when she still refused.
173	* OrificeInvasion: The pedophile from the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9g5ptiWT8E The Snake Pot]]'' is in the receiving end of this as the increasing heat in the pot caused the snakes to panic and slither into every orifice of his body.
174	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Several of Shigeo's clients are the victim's parents, who turned to him to avenge their murdered children.
175	* PaedoHunt:
176	** In the episode ''The Snake Pot'', a sleezy, unemployed man goes around his town abducting little girls and raping them. In one instance, he buries his victim in a nearby mountain when he inadvertently kills her.
177	** The villain in the episode ''The most ancient torture known to man'' is a high-school teacher named Yoshinori Satonaka, who had on at least 20 occassions abducted and raped his own female students. Two years ago, he inadvertently caused the death of the 15-year-old daughter of Shigeo's client in a car accident after spraying pepper spray in her eyes.
178	* PoliceAreUseless: Many of Shigeo's clients tried to report the criminals to the police only for the police not to do anything, forcing them to turn to Shigeo to get justice for themselves. In addition, even if they do catch them, the criminal might be off with a light sentence, due to [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections]] or [[OffOnATechnicality by technicalities]], when many of the clients demand "an eye for an eye."
179	* PottyFailure: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ejOIfq1HSI The Boats]]'' has Shigeo inflict this on a marriage scammer whose latest victim requested his services, by way of scaphism. [[spoiler:After seventeen long days of soiling and wetting himself from being force-fed the mixture of honey and milk for the punishment along with being eaten alive by maggots and flies, the scumbag finally dies.]]
180	* PowerDyesYourHair: Jiro's black hair turns red when he switches into his "Red Demon" persona, which is triggered by evil acts.
181	* PowerfulPick:
182	** Mr. Noda uses an icepick as a weapon to kill or torture people. Despite being a short-range weapon, he compensates with his speed and fast consecutive thrusts to incapacitate opponents.
183	** Mr. Kitagawa from the episode ''[[https://youtu.be/8IXdlSRoWSM Amou clan rat race for the open seat as clan leader]]'' uses a pickaxe as his weapon of choice.
184	* PsychoKnifeNut:
185	** The episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r62XuBocrU Scorching Soy Sauce Method]]'' features one who killed the client's twin daughters. However, it turns out he was being used by a gang boss who claimed to have made a DealWithTheDevil.
186	** In the episode ''[[https://youtu.be/y8srrB0eSEU Kurebayashi meets Satake]]'', Hirofumi gets attacked by a musclebound, underwear-clad man brandishing a knife. Things get more unfortunate when a second knife-wielding killer shows up.
187	* RagingStiffie: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgDe6EvJqmg In this story]], after Hirofumi got treated for getting bitten by a Brazilian wandering spider (the titular Banana Spider), he has an erection after waking up, which is a secondary effect of the spider's venom.
188	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: If the {{Asshole\|Victim}} VictimOfTheWeek is a rapist, Shigeo will torture them in the most gruesome ways, while Jiro will beat the crap out of them without holding himself back.
189	* RejectedApology: The gang leader from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4LF6QGXCS4 Sommelier vs Dagger-weilding Yakuza]] apologizes for his crime when asked if he had any remorse for what he did. This is rejected, however, when he is asked what his victim was like, and tried to justify not knowing by casually mentioning that he killed many other women before, and never got to know them, implying that he doesn't see women as people, and believes them all to be alike.
190	* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMO7AldO6iI Yakuza-style punishment: Tattoo peeling]]'', Kotoge seeks to avenge Mr. Eto after the latter was beaten bloody to death. When he finally found the murderer, he painfully peeled off the tattoo on the bastard's back and proceeded to crush his skull by throwing stones at him.
191	* RunForTheBorder: In the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET-XWet8PtA Rabbit Torture]]'', by the time the client reports Yoriki to the police for extorting his sister until she committed suicide, he had already moved to the Philippines to avoid arrest by the authorities. Fortunately, Shigeo accepts the client's request for his torture and contacts JJ, a Filipino priest and fellow Torture Sommelier, to assist him in hunting him down.
192	* RuleOfSymbolism: The ''Torture'' series, espescially episodes that star Shigeo, more often than not make references to the Devil, Hell, or demons. It is explained in ''The homeless past of the torture sommelier'' that this is primarily due to Shigeo's outlook on the world. His philosophy is that some people judge others and look down on them to feel better about themselves, and that when they begin doing heinous crimes, the devil within them comes out, even in his own clients, who request him to perform the murders. It is for this reason that he considers himself "The Devil".
193	* SandNecktie: In ''The most ancient torture known to man'', Yoshinori Satonaka is buried up to his chest so that Shigeo and Rukawa can torture him by stoning.
194	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Shigeo's victims bring up their connections with powerful people before he tortures them. However, he doesn't care and tortures them anyway. What's more, he captures the powerful person connected with the criminal as well.
195	* SerialKiller: The aptly-named episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOkmfnt5nag The Serial Killer]]'' features one who wants to spread COVID to as much people in the mall as possible. When Jiro confronted him, the criminal [[spoiler:pulled out a knife and targeted [[WouldHurtAChild a little boy he coughed on previously]].]]
196	* ShadyScalper: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92-qCueu5xI&t=10s The Evil Scalper]]'' stars one who bought all of a store's [[BlandNameProduct PRS5s]] in stock, sending many people back home. Jiro was really pissed off as he went there to buy one for his nephew Yutaka's birthday, and he waited for the bastard to be somewhere else quiet to beat the crap out of him.
197	* ShoutOut: In the opening of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69xecvl5ZL0 The violent idol management company gets punished]]'', Jiro answers "[[Manga/SakigakeOtokojuku Baron Deino…?]]" to a teacher who asked him the name of the [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler dictator]] in the picture. Later in the same episode, he goes to a job interview to become assistant manager for an idol agency and tells the interviewer "he looks up to [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Dario Brando]]," much to the interviewer's chagrin.
198	* SinisterScythe: The episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfEAGIGqF04 You lose 4 fingers if you sleep with a Yakuza leader's girl...]]'' features Sakamoto, a bloodthirsty Yakuza leader whose preferred weapon is a sickle.
199	* SlippingAMickey: In the episode ''Lead Sprinkler'', the criminal group posing as a modeling agency put something into the client's drink after a photoshoot and had their way with her.
200	* SmarmyHost: Shintaro Murasame from the episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mecmuIcb1Ag Fast shooting duel]]'' is a TV host who always talks big about justice and doing what is right. But in private, he is a complete sleazebag who made connections to politicians and the Yakuza.
201	* SnuffFilm: In the episode ''Garrote's Chair'', Shigeo live-streams his torture of the porn site owner on the latter's own website, and makes the InUniverse viewers vote whether he should die or survive. Since the sleazy pig already had a bad reputation for raping and driving Miyako to suicide and killing her fiance Kentaro to avoid punishment, the public voted for his death.
202	* SpitefulSpit: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixxafvlOZi8 The Scavenger's Daughter]]'', one of the thugs held in the titular device spat on Shigeo's face. He kicks both of them in the face in retaliation and administers the proper torture.
203	* StalkerWithACrush:
204	** The opening of ''Torture Sommelier vs Dagger-weilding Yakuza'' [sic] features one who stalked a young woman named Miho and strangled her to death for dating a guy who wasn't him.
205	** The LoonyFan from ''The Tire Necklace'' obsessively stalked a famous athlete. When he found out she was going to marry, he got pissed off to the point of breaking into her house and raping her.

211	* SurpriseCarCrash: ''The most ancient torture known to man'' has a high-school teacher kidnapping one of his students in his car. When she tried to flee, she got hit by a truck.
212	* TakingYouWithMe: Near the end of the episode ''[[https://youtu.be/8IXdlSRoWSM Amou clan rat race for the open seat as clan leader]]'', [[spoiler:Mr. Minamida fakes surrender and throws a Molotov cocktail at Mr. Kitagawa, only for the latter to survive long enough to finish the former off with his pickaxe before collapsing dead to the ground]].
213	* TearsOfBlood: Some of Shigeo's clients cry blood, especially when they lost a family member to the antagonist's actions. In the episode ''Feeding to Army Ants'', a man who lost his eye protecting his wife and his sister-in-law cries blood out of his missing eye.
214	* TongueTrauma: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixxafvlOZi8 The Scavenger's Daughter]]'', after two thugs kidnap a couple, one of them cut the husband's tongue with a knife for trying to defend his wife and shoved it down his throat, not without ''wrapping it in tinfoil'' beforehand.
215	* TooDumbToLive: In ''Rabbit Torture'', despite his crime being well-known, a popular streamer still continues to make streams while living in the Phillipines. This alone is what made it so easy for Shigeo to find him.
216	* TragicStillbirth: In the ''Punishment'' episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmb4DtBl0XA Immoral Doctor]]'', Kotaro and Miki's baby was delivered stillborn. The doctor told them beforehand that their upcoming baby had brain hernia and it was very possible it wouldn't survive childbirth.
217	* UnconventionalFoodUsage: The titular punishment in the episode ''Rhaphanidosis'' involves shoving a long white radish into the victim's anus.
218	* UnwillingSuspension:
219	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2dmXHIIxNY Ana-Tsurushi: Hanging upside down in feces]]'' - Shigeo has three gangsters hanging by the feet before subjecting them to the titular punishment: dipping them into a pool of feces and insects, some of them poisonous.
220	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk71Aaf-T8Q Judas' Cradle]]'': A fortune teller who brainwashed her clients into spending themselves broke for her gets hanged by her hands, feet, and waist by Shigeo before dropping her into the titular device until she died.
221	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mecmuIcb1Ag Fast shooting duel]]'': A sleazy TV host is hanged by the belly by Shigeo's giant breast ripper and is left there until he falls off and dies.
222	* VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory:

However, the criminals ''do'' get arrested in this story while the head rapist is tortured by Shigeo for ''43 days''.
224	** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJyU9nUs7qk Rat torture: Rats go in from your bottom and eat your insides]]'' references the infamous [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_Kitty_murder_case Hello Kitty murder case]], only that the criminals here stuff all the victim's pieces (rather than just the skull) into a teddy bear and do get punished.
225	* VillainProtagonist: The episode ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q9QG77fdI0 Kurebayashi cries for an unfortunate mother...]]'' centers on Nobunaga Sato, a college graduate turned shut-in who got rejected by a hundred top companies in the city.
226	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The college professor that raped one of his students in ''The Burning Pot'' had stated that he was going to become the university's president, meaning that no one else there was aware of his crimes.
