High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Trigun

Trigun has an incredible amount of violence, blood and horror, almost all of which is absent from the anime.

Part One

The Rodderik's TRUE crimes, Macekred in the anime and Dark Horse Manga. Organ harvesting, which makes their Karmic Death at Legato's hands that much more satisfying CMOA.
The men who attack Wolfwood in the Church. Under their masks, their mouths are sewn shut & they have screws in their eyes! Their jackets resemble the Rodderick's...

Part Two

Part Two begins with the (offscreen) gang rape and death by torture of a girl who's family had a long feud with another.
Leonof's Villainous Breakdown. It starts with him tearing his cheek, then his Fin Gore when defeated. plus his cases full of human viscera, Brad did not approve
Grey the Ninelives. In the anime he's indistinguishable from a robot, but in the manga, he cuts Descartes [the boomerang-throwing giant in Ep.1] in half with his own weapon. Then, when he faces Wolfwood, there's his "TRAITOR!!!" shriek. Unlike the anime version, he bleeds High Pressure Blood & sheds tears! When his arms is severed, it crawls to the door release, so the main body can resume the battle. Also... it's mouth brrr!
In Maximium Ch 23, the giant Chinese-themed bandit attempting to rape a woman. "You will be my 13th wife", "The other 12 are all broken", and "You will join them in heaven now" are just a sampling of some of his creepier quotes. Good thing Meryl and Millie didn't approve.
The unnamed giant aiding Legato, it proves Not So Stoic & started flashing it's deformed mouth.
Tessla's death
Raidei Rising massacre of thse town he guarded combined with Tear Jerker.

Anime

Legato Bluesummers. A personification of nihilism combined with the relentless drive of the Green Goblin, and telepathic powers that can make a person claw his heart out, shoot himself dead, or just turn them into puppets for him to speak through. His goal, his voice (in both Japanese and English), his theme (which sounds like a demonic stereo system), his ability to turn any potential kindness into cruelty—everything about this guy is absolutely terrifying.
- Only Legato can make eating sweets downright creepy.
