School Days 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.
- This new ending for HQ remake
in which a really 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 severed hand. - This original PC ending in which Kotonoha slices Sekai's throat in front of Makoto. Damn that High-Pressure Blood and Kotonoha's Evil Laugh.
- There's also an extended version of the ending in the PlayStation 2 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 coming to her senses and breaking down in tears.
- Also, before that ending happens, Kotonoha overhears Makoto and Sekai going at it. She's not only crying, she's laughing maniacally! Geez!
- Another original ED where more High-Pressure Blood is had when Kotonoha throws herself off a building in front of Sekai and Makoto. This leaves Makoto so traumatized that he breaks up with Sekai and swears off romance and dating forever.
- 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 Black Blood. Somehow, this can be even more disturbing.
- Kotonoha cutting Sekai open to check and see if she's really pregnant is made even Squickier 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 from within Sekai's dissected womb!
