Look out behind you...
Being a manga about a website where people can post videos of torture and/or murder, DEAD Tube is bound to have heaps of Nightmare Fuel...
- The whole concept, for starters. Imagine a website that would be a cross between Youtube and a Red Room. And the people who make the best videos get money from whatever twisted mind created and manages said website.
- On the other hand the participant who gets the least views is charged with all the fees and crimes of all other participants. Surprise-decorating the target's home with 10000 roses, each worth 500 Yen? And breaking into their home in the first place? That's not even the beginning. If you lose, you may be easily framed as a mass-murderer or terrorist. Oh and if you happen to die before that? The punishment is transferred to your family. Have fun.
- You think the loser is the one who should be worried most? Wrong. It's the target. Anyone can be designated as the target. They don't need to participate in Dead Tube at all. Hell, they don't even have to have a slightest idea such thing as Dead Tube exists. Imagine - one day, out of the blue, completely anonymous people just begin to rile you up in every possible way. Once this begins, you may as well call your life quits. Nothing's going to save you. You're screwed.
- The first chapter has any horny guy’s worst nightmare come to life: having sex with an insanely attractive girl, only for her to out of nowhere brutally murder you in the midst of coitus.
- Towards the end of the Film Director arc when when it is revealed that Mashiro is not dead and she appears behind Oushima. Her face, all covered in blood and rushing towards the reader makes for a very unsettling image.
- The end of the Betsuki arc with it being barrage of extremely disturbing events and images. After being raped by several of her students, her insane side starts to kick in and pulls out a pistol and proceeds to kill all of them. She then proceeds to try to have sex with Machiya (and presumably kill him as well), only for Mashiro to take her gun and shoot her in the head at point-blank range. To top it all off the arc ends with Machiya, covered in blood and sporting a Slasher Smile staring creepily towards the reader.
- Dead Tube Neo is even more depraved than the original one. If you've seen so much as a single videoor maybe , you have to "pay" by uploading a video yourself. Every single day. If you don't, a "Happy Evangelist" is going to come for you and submit you to whatever depraved shit they want. Oh, and each video you submit has to be more extreme than your previous one. Which means that unless you're a warzone reporter, very soon you'll simply run out of extremities to upload and the Happy Evangelist comes for you anyway.
