History AbusiveParents / AnimeAndManga

* ''Manga/The100girlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'': From what little we see of Shizuka's mother, she definately qualifies as this trope, as her only appearance so far shows her yelling at Shizuka for being a CuteMute and Shizuka cowering before her in tears.

** Endeavor only sees Shoto as a tool to surpass All Might and nothing more, as shown by the way he doesn't even refer to Shoto as a person, but "it". In a flashback, he put Shoto through TrainingFromHell, which caused the child to vomit, and isolated him from his other children. Ironically, Shoto's burn mark isn't his fault, but his wife Rei's, though Shoto still pins the blame on him for driving his mother to that level of mental instability.

** Vinsmoke Judge, on the other hand, is NOT in the least played for laughs in regards of his horrible treatment of his third son, [[spoiler:Sanji]]. Hating his son's empathy and compassion and the fact that he [[spoiler:is still a normal human after Judge's genetic experiments on his children]], he encourages his other children to beat him down with only his daughter being reluctant to do so ([[spoiler:plus later it's revealed that he ''did'' have [[EmotionSuppression their empathy removed]] to make them his {{tyke bomb}}s, basically being the reason why the boys are [[AristocratsAreEvil royal brats]]), and then eventually, locks him in a cell. Years after his son's escape, Judge kidnaps him from his new life to use him as nothing more than a bargaining chip for his schemes of power with Big Mom]]. [[spoiler: Sanji emphatically tells Judge he utterly hates him and does not consider him to be his father, the feeling of which is mutual]].

** There are a ''lot'' of these in ''[[VideoGame/MagiaRecordPuellaMagiMadokaMagicaSideStory Magia Record]]''. Two of the top contenders are Tsukiyo Amane's grandmother and Sana Futaba's entire family.
*** The former forced Tsukiyo's mother to cut off her father for being of a lower social class, separated Tsukiyo from her twin sister, and brutally enforces absolute perfection on Tsukiyo to "make up" for her mother "embarrassing the family."
*** The latter didn't want a third child at all after having two sons, and they especially didn't want a girl. The parents both ruthlessly neglected and belittled Sana and encouraged her brothers to do the same. She was made to do all house chores, forbidden from participating in holidays or family gatherings, and often left to fend for herself. It got so bad that her wish to Kyuubey was to "disappear".

** PlayedForLaughs as [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood Hilariously Abusive]] with Mitsuki, Katsuki Bakugo's mother. She gives Katsuki a hard DopeSlap in her first panel, blaming him for being weak enough to [[spoiler:be kidnapped by villains]] and insisting he apologize for being a burden on his teachers. [[spoiler:It’s implied that Katsuki’s massive InferioritySuperiorityComplex and tendency towards violence were [[TheChainOfHarm behaviors he learned from dealing with his mother.]]]]

* ''Anime/BakuganBattleBrawlers'' has Shun being abused by his grandfather. Said grandfather is adamant that he will become a ninja just seconds after his mother's death, he brutally isolates Shun from his friends, and is incredibly hostile to anyone not named Shun. You can hardly blame Shun for having such a hard time trying to come back into Bakugan.

** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo Vento Aureo]]'':

%%** Adrian's mother in ''BoysNextDoor''.

* ''Anime/MawaruPenguindrum'':
** [[spoiler:Yuri Tokikago's father]], as revealed in episode 15. A famous sculptor, [[spoiler:He told Yuri that she's ugly and he ''carves her body with his chisels'' to make her look "more beautiful" and be worthy of his love.]] It is also heavily implied [[spoiler:that he sexually abused Yuri as well.]] So it's no wonder [[spoiler:Yuri]] is so utterly ''screwed up''.
** There's also [[spoiler:Tabuki's mother.]] Since she loved the piano, [[spoiler:she pressured him to study music and Tabuki intentionally harmed his left fingers in a misguided attempt to get his mother's attention after it's found out that his brother was a better pianist than him. It didn't work.]]

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia''

* ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'':

* Zigzagged in ''Anime/SpacePatrolLuluco'' . As a [[CardCarryingVillain card-carrying]] [[TheUnfettered unfettered]] {{Space Pirate|s}}, Lalaco Godspeed isn't exactly prime parenting material, having run off when Luluco was a child and beating her up for getting in the way of a heist when they finally reunite. That said, she does care about her daughter, as demonstrated when [[SoProudOfYou she expressed genuine pride in her character growth]] and gave her full support in helping her confess to the boy she liked (pirate crew and CoolStarship included).

* Kohane's mother in ''Manga/{{xxxHoLic}}'' sees her daughter only as a financial asset, and maintains her as such. Afraid that anything "impure" would disrupt her powers as a medium, Mrs. Tsuyuri forbids Kohane from having any friends and from talking to people. (This culminates in her throwing ''scalding hot coffee'' at Watanuki's face after she finds Kohane eating dinner with him.) Watanuki also notices that she refuses to call her [[HeyYou daughter by her name]] or even touch her.

* ''Manga/YuGiOh''

* In ''Manhwa/TheDuchessWithAnEmptySoul'', just about every on-screen parental figure shown via flashbacks is abusive, dead, or driven out of the home for fear of their lives, or some combination of the set. Which is especially true for the two main characters, Inova and Claude. Ivona's father is a hedonistic gambling addict who not only beat her mother to the point the poor woman had to flee in the middle of the night in fear for her life, unable to take Inova with her, but beats up the girl too, since she was a child and sold her to an equally abusive fiance Baron Gaspal to cover his debts. Claude's mother was a TroubledAbuser who was tortured into thinking her only reason for living was to sire a MasterSwordsman, and she was forced into an AwfulWeddedLife with a nasty violent abuser too. Even after her death, Claude remains traumatized and suspicious of women, Inova the one exception.

** PlayedForLaughs as [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood Hilariously Abusive]] with Mitsuki, Katsuki Bakugo's mother. She gives Katsuki a hard DopeSlap in her first panel, blaming him for being weak enough to [[spoiler:be kidnapped by villains and insisting he apologize for being a burden on his teachers.]] [[spoiler:It’s implied that Katsuki’s massive InferioritySuperiorityComplex and tendency towards violence were [[TheChainOfHarm behaviors he learned from dealing with his mother.]]]]

** PlayedForLaughs as [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood Hilariously Abusive]] with Mitsuki, Katsuki Bakugo's mother.

[[spoiler:It’s implied that Katsuki’s massive InferioritySuperiorityComplex and tendency towards violence were [[TheChainOfHarm behaviors he learned from dealing with his mother.]]]]
** Chisaki pretends to be Eri's father just for the sake of corralling her more easily. He makes her think she's a weapon being used to and born to destroy people. [[spoiler:He drains her blood to use its properties to make Quirk-nullifying darts. When she runs out of blood to give, he uses his Quirk to break her down and reset her back to normal. Given what's seen of people who have been broken down, it cannot have been a nice experience at all]]. Mirio is completely horrified when he learns about it.

* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
** Endeavor only sees Shoto as a tool to surpass All Might and nothing more, as shown by the way he doesn't even refer to Shoto as a person, but "it". In a flashback, he put Shoto through TrainingFromHell, which caused the child to vomit, and isolated him from his other children. Ironically, Shoto's burn mark isn't his fault, but his wife Rei's, though Shoto still pins the blame on him for driving his mother to that level of mental instability. Worse, Shoto may not even be the worst victim of the children. He's treated his second son, Natsuo, like a failure, doesn't seem to really care much about his only daughter, Fuyumi, [[spoiler:and then there's his oldest son, Toya, who was his original successor, but it's implied his much stronger Fire Quirk came with his mother's delicate constitution and when forced to learn one of his DangerousForbiddenTechniques, Toya may have been crippled. It's later revealed that Toya is believed to be dead by his family.]] [[spoiler:Subverted after All Might retires, however, he realizes how badly he's treated his family and is trying to make amends. Fuyumi and Rei accept his attempts to change, although Rei's still nervous about seeing him in person again, but Shoto and Natsuo initially refuse to forgive him.]] [[spoiler:Endeavor's past comes to haunt him once again in the form of the villain Dabi- who reveals himself to be his long lost son Toya Todoroki. Toya gleefully circulates a video across Japan, exposing Endeavor's abusive tendencies and smearing his image.]]

** Defied with Mitsuki, Katsuki Bakugo's mother. Despite giving Katsuki a DopeSlap during her first appearance, it's PlayedForLaughs and he's furious rather than heartbroken like an actual abuse case, leading him to get into a shouting match with her. One minute later she also says she's glad he's back safe and sound while ruffling his hair affectionately. It's made clear that she's otherwise [[GoodParents a loving parent]] but, given how hot-tempered he is, it's implied she's just strict or, at least, [[ParentsAsPeople trying]] to be strict to curb his explosive tendencies. That said, Mitsuki does have a tendency to use violence to get Katsuki to pipe down, which is depicted in omakes when she gets into brawls with her son. During Katsuki's second provincial licensing exam when he's told that they can't use violence in response to a class of problem children, [[PlayedForLaughs he angrily remarks that it's how he was raised]].

** Eri's real mother didn't want anything to do with her after [[spoiler:her husband was erased from existence by the girl's Quirk. This led Eri's mother to disown her and leave her with the former Boss of the Shie Hassaikai (Eri's maternal grandfather), after telling him that her own daughter is cursed.]]

** Subverted with Rei Todoroki. She was a kind woman who encouraged Shoto to pursue his own dreams but snapped due to a combination of the [[MaritalRapeLicense frustration for being used]] and the fact her children were beginning to look like Endeavor, which resulted in her dumping boiling water on Shoto's face in a MomentOfWeakness. She immediately attempted to soothe her son's burns using her ice Quirk, while hysterically apologizing to him and asking herself why she did it. She gets better later on after being hospitalized and Shoto reconciles with her after the Sports Festival.

* ''Manga/MutekiKanbanMusume'': Being an hilarious deconstruction of the FightingSeries, offers a subversion of this trope because Miki Onimaru is not a child, but a WomanChild, and when her mother punishes her is by a very violent CurbStompBattle. Also Miki is TheSlacker and TheBully, so her mother is always justified.

** Vanessa's mother, the Witch Queen, gives her daughter an ImpossibleTask, locks her in a cage until she accomplishes it and often calls her imperfect. Then she tricks Asta into nearly killing Vanessa's friends, eventually forcing her to unleash her [[WindsOfDestinyChange Red Thread of Fate magic]] and fight her.

* In ''Manga/KannazukiNoMiko'', Souma and Tsubasa were often beaten by their father, one flashback showing him holding a baseball bat. This drives Tsubasa to murder him, and is the main reason for Tsubasa joining {{Orochi}}.
** Also, it's strongly implied that Himeko's adoptive parents were abusive.

*** Giorno Giovanna grew up having to fend for himself due to his extremely neglectful mother, and while his stepfather seemed nice ''at first'', he later turned out to be physically abusive to Giorno. Luckily, the later would come to an end after a gangster Giorno saved the life of payed the stepfather a visit. According to the ''[[LightNovel/JojosBizarreAdventureOverHeaven Over Heaven]]'' spin-off novel, this was the intention of Giorno's actual father, DIO, who only had children with women he knew would be abusive so that his children would become self-dependent and strong willed.

** Shion, whose family disowned her and made her spend time away from her only sister, due to "tradition."

** This trope is constant in the series, especially in regards to Satoko Hojo. Her own mother told her she wished she wasn't born and her numerous fathers abused her when she refused to call them father, and her aunt and uncle considered her a curse and beat her up and made her buy them alcohol.

* Soichiro Arima from ''Manga/KareKano'' had a mother who beat him badly on an almost daily basis and if she wasn't, it was because she left him alone for days on end as he slowly starved, locked in a house with barely any food. He never received any sort of affection and if he wasn't being beaten or neglected he was being verbally abused. [[spoiler:When he was still three his mother eventually decided that is was enough and left him alone completely. When he was so sick and malnourished he could barely move and was close to death, she returned just to check if he had died yet, ''kicked'' him across the room when he begged for help and left once again, intending to leave him to die a slow and painful death.]] He was luckily adopted by his aunt and uncle who raised him as a son [[spoiler:by request of his biological father Reiji, who found baby Soichirou right before he died]].

* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' has a number of examples:
** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' has Amuro's father and mother. His father Tem Ray actively neglects Amuro growing up due to his work as a military engineer and scientist, to the point that Amuro's next door neighbor friend whom is the same age as him is more like his actual parent. Meanwhile, years ago his mother refused to move to space with her husband and son. When Amuro meets her again she ends up chewing him out and disowning him when he kills an enemy soldier in order to defend himself. She wants him to still be the peaceful boy she remembered when he was much younger, but she played no part in raising him so she has little right to complain.
** ''Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam'' has Kamille's parents who are both incredibly neglectful. His mother is a workaholic who seems to care nothing about Kamille until he causes trouble. Then his father turns out to be not just neglectful but also physical abusive. When Kamille criticizes his father for cheating on his mother he is brutally backhanded for his troubles. Its notable that after [[spoiler: both parents [[KilledOffForReal die]]]] that Kamille gradually matures into a much better and more well adjusted person.
* Al Da Flaga from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'' was a narcissistic bastard who viewed his son, Mu La Flaga, as nothing more than a vehicle for his own ego. When Mu refused to nothing more than an extension of his father and his StrongFamilyResemblance to his mother became more pronounced, Al cut him out of his life, locked him and his mother up in a BigFancyHouse, and had himself cloned. He then proceeded to treat said clone as though he were a replacement for Al himself rather than a real person (his first words on seeing the clone were "This is me, right?"). Said clone eventually rebelled, murdered Al by burned down his house, and became [[spoiler:[[OmnicidalManiac Rau Le Creuset]]]], whereas Mu stayed firmly at the side of good [[BrokenAce but later explained to his girlfriend Murrue how badly his father's emotional abuse fucked him up]].

** Dario Brando from ''Manga/PhantomBlood'' is a deadbeat [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] who emotionally abused his wife and son, [[BigBad Dio]], along with implied physical abuse. It's safe to say that, had he not treated them this way, [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom Dio probably wouldn't have become the way he is]].
** ''Manga/DiamondIsUnbreakable'':

** ''Manga/VentoAureo'':

** ''Manga/SteelBallRun'':

* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''

* ''Manga/{{Narutaru}}'':
** [[TheOjou Hiroko "Hiro-chan" Kaizuka]]'s father constantly berates her for anything but a 100% in every class (despite pressure from bullies to do poorly to lower the grading curve), and cuts her ties to the only friends she ever had. That last one finally [[BreakTheCutie broke her]] [[spoiler:enough to kill the bullies *and* both of her parents]].
** It practically spelled out in the manga that Akira Sakura suffers this at the hand of her father. [[spoiler:And she [[CallingTheOldManOut calls him out]] by ''stabbing him to death''.]]
** Shiina's parents aren't together anymore, because her mother Misono [[spoiler:''strangled her'' once during an emotional breakdown]]. Shiina ''also'' gets emotional abuse from her, since Misono was so mentally damaged by [[spoiler:the death of her older daughter Mishou]] that she convinced herself that Shiina, born some days before [[spoiler:Misho's demise]], was to blame. [[spoiler:And when Mom actually ''redeems'' herself? She's [[RedemptionEqualsDeath almost immediately murdered]].]]

* Several examples from ''Manga/PandoraHearts''

* ''Anime/StarsAlign'' has multiple accounts of parental child abuse. In the first four episodes we already see [[spoiler: one of the main characters Maki get assaulted by his divorced father who forces himself into their apartment when the teenage boy is home alone.]] There is also a flashback to [[spoiler: Itsuki's mother pouring boiling water over her son's back when he was a baby which resulted in him having several burn scars that he feels self-concious about.]] It's also heavily implied that [[spoiler: Toma's mother is emotionally abusive.]] Needless to say, those boys really have it hard in this anime.

** Endeavor only sees Shoto as a tool to surpass All Might and nothing more, as shown by the way he doesn't even refer to Shoto as a person, but "it". In a flashback, he put Shoto through TrainingFromHell, which caused the child to vomit, and isolated him from his other children.

It's later revealed that Toya is believed to be dead by his family.]] [[spoiler:Subverted after All Might retires, however, he realizes how badly he's treated his family and is trying to make amends. Fuyumi and Rei accept his attempts to change, although Rei's still nervous about seeing him in person again, but Shoto and Natsuo initially refuse to forgive him.]]

** Vanessa's mother, the Witch Queen, gives her daughter an ImpossibleTask, locks her in a cage until she accomplishes it and often calls her imperfect. Then she tricks Asta into nearly killing Vanessa's friends, eventually forcing her to unleash her [[WindsOfDestinyChange Red Thread of Fate magic]] to fight her.

*** In Noelle's backstory, her father notes the irony that the last thing Acier gave to the world was someone as useless at her.
*** Finral's father denounced him for being inferior to his younger brother Langris and disowned him.
*** Henry's father disowned him for his illness and abandoned him in an isolated mansion.
*** Luck's mother mistreated him for his inability to stop smiling, with a flashback showing her calling him a "defective freak" and slapping him at one point. She only began to show him affection when he beat a noble with magic, which began his pathological desire to win fights.
*** Grey was mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters, who made her do all the housework which left her covered in ash. After she used her magic to look like her stepsisters, they attacked her and she was forced to leave her home.
*** Vanessa's mother, the Witch Queen, gives her daughter an ImpossibleTask, locks her in a cage until she accomplishes it and often calls her imperfect. Then she tricks Asta into nearly killing Vanessa's friends, eventually forcing her to unleash her [[WindsOfDestinyChange Red Thread of Fate magic]] to fight her.

* ''Anime/Bakugan'' has Shun being abused by his grandfather. Said grandfather is adamant that he will become a ninja just seconds after his mother's death, he brutally isolates Shun from his friends, and is incredibly hostile to anyone not named Shun. You can hardly blame Shun for having such a hard time trying to come back into Bakugan.
