Cut His Heart Out With A Spoon / Anime & Manga

• Fullmetal Alchemist: Ed says some random things whenever someone hits his Berserk Button. "I'll break down your feet and stick them on your head!"
  • When he has to get an injection in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003); "I'll turn you all into fish!"
• In the western (like, cowboy) shojo manga Miriam, a crooked sheriff has the protagonists locked up on false charges. When they start complaining, he says he'll add to the charges if they don't shut up... then says he'll add things like stealing a hotel ashtray, cheating in cards, and hitting on girls in stores.
• Haruhi Suzumiya:
  • The title character managed to combine two of her chief preoccupations in this threat:
    Haruhi: Anyone accepting defeat will be punished by running 10 laps around the school! Naked! And you'll have to yell 'Green martians are chasing me' for the whole 10 laps!
  • She does it again to Kyon when she thinks he wrote an embarrassingly schmaltzy love-letter to Yuki.
    Haruhi: First, you are to leap up a wall with a dry salted fish in your mouth and fight for territory with other wild cats! And you have to wear cat ears while doing it!
  • Nearly all of the threats she makes qualify somewhat, due to being so serious and over-the-top.
• Inuyasha in the English dub:
  InuYasha (to Sesshoumaru): I'm gonna rip your guts out and put them in a bowl!
• Hellsing had a few; most from Jan Valentine.
  "I'm gonna fuck that bitch, shoot her in the head, and fuck her there!!
• Fruits Basket: Yuki tells Kakeru he'll never speak to him again, and it's only just out of his mouth when he realizes how embarrassingly childish that sounds. Fortunately, Kakeru is embarrassingly childish. Kakeru later threatens to make Yuki "walk through a red light district".
  • In the Australian version, rather than threatening Kakeru with silence, Yuji threatens to 'break up with him.' Hilarity Ensues
• Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu: when Tessa was spending some R&R in Jindai disguised as a US transfer student, Mardukas gave an ultimatum to Sousuke: if anything happens to her or he tries to take advantage of the situation by doing something dirty, he'll be loaded in the TDD-1's torpedo tube and launched. The Hungarian dub also mentions something about being thrown into the submarine's reactor until he glowed.
  • Originally, this was after threats of being forced to teach self-defense against people armed with bananas and doing the silly walk around the base.
• The English dub of Chrono Crusade uses this in the first episode, literally with a spoon after The Elder looks up her skirt. She even attempts to do it, stabbing the spoon into the ground.
  Rosette: [to The Elder] I'll kill you with this spoon!
• In one of the latest chapter of Sket Dance, Agata was threatened by Saaya's "kidnapper" that if he doesn't come within the time limit for the next puzzle, 'he'll make Saaya rap'.
• In one episode of Detective School Q, Ryu responds to some bullies threatening Megumi by knocking one to the ground and putting a metal object to his throat. After the bullies fled, Ryu revealed that the object in question was a spoon, not a knife. Megumi later notes to herself that the expression on Ryu's face made her think that he could have killed the other boy with that spoon if he had wanted to.
• In the first episode of Pani Poni Dash!, when Old Geezer's class is attempting to leave to bother the new teacher of the class next door:
  Old Geezer: You step one foot out that door and I'll be standing by your pillow every night.
  [class returns to their seats]
  Old Geezer: What a damn buncha cowards.
• Chaos;Head: the New Gen serial murderer is a literal version of this trope. Nurse Hazuki uses extremely brutal methods of killing, and the most literal comes when she uses a spoon to cut out the brain of her victim.
• Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: The Student Council boys (Shirogane and Ishigami) are listening to Kashiwagi's boyfriend (Shirogane is directly responsible for this relationship), who claims to be there asking for advice regarding continuing his relationship. His concerns seem entirely about how wonderful the summer has been and how in love they are... at which point Ishigami whispers that clearly he's really just here to gloat. Shirogane restrains him from doing something horrible with a roll of toilet paper. As the boy continues to obliviously talk and they speculate how far he went over the summer with this girl, Ishigami continues to make threatening moves with the toilet paper. Finally, he asks about Shirogane's summer (which was awful as neither he nor Kaguya were willing to reach out to communicate and thus never met), expresses surprise and pity for Shirogane's lack of dating - and it's Ishigami's turn to restrain Shirogane, who has reached an epiphany and suddenly realized what to do with the toilet paper.
