History AbusiveParents / AnimeAndManga

** Lady Prospera Mercury from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'' was an EvilMatriarch and CharClone who deliberately alternates between [[ParentalNeglect isolating her daughter]] Suletta [[MyBelovedSmother and praising her]] in order to make Suletta unwaveringly obedient to her, to the point of reverence. As a result of this, Suletta is incredibly easy to manipulate if Prospera is the one that says the word, resulting in Prospera turning her own daughter into her personal attack dog. [[spoiler:Both of them if we count the one [[PoweredByAForsakenChild she turned into a Gundam]]. And that was the one she actually ''liked''.]]

* In ''Anime/WhosLeftBehindKayokosDiary'', the father of Kayoko's friend and neighbour Yoshisuke is implied to abusive to him and his mother due to an addiction to sake. At one point, Kayoko catches Yoshisuke in the act of trying to run away with his infant sibling because he no longer feels safe in his own home.

* ''Anime/{{Daltanious}}'': Kloppen's father Dolmen. He speaks to him in a way that encourages his most violent aspects, while threatening him with consequences if he disregards them. Whenever Kloppen loses to Daltanious, Dolmen subjects him to a tirade of insults. [[spoiler: He also deliberately hid the fact that he was a clone from him]].

* ''Manga/HonooNoAlpenRose'': [[spoiler: Alfred Strasser's adoptive mother, Louise, treated him like a surrogate husband and it's implied she sexually abused him, as their relationship was more akin to siblings/lovers rather than mother and son. Louise was also heavily mentally unstable and treated him badly until her eventual suicide]]. This becomes even worse when it's revealed that he's not their child, but at the hospital he was born in, Louise swapped him with her child because he was a stillborn.

* ''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. He has, though rarely, shown a more compassionate side to him, such as when he forced Shun to show him around town and spent time with his grandson. Generally, though he rarely shows it, he cares for the well-being of his grandson perhaps more than him becoming a ninja champion.

* ''Anime/HelloSandybell'': Alec. His father was addicted to drugs. On bad days, when the drugs were driving him crazy, he would frequently assault Alec, his mother and his sister. As a result, he has a burning hatred for drugs and those who deal them.

* ''Anime/WelcomeToTheNHK'': It's revealed that [[spoiler:Misaki was physically abused by her stepfather. The abuse ultimately caused her mother to commit suicide through falling off a cliff. The abuse also caused Misaki to find someone else she thought was more else worthless than herself as a result of the abuse, causing the plot of the show.]]

** From what little we see of Shizuka's mother, she definitely qualifies as this trope, as her first appearance shows her yelling at Shizuka for being a CuteMute and Shizuka cowering before her in tears. She later confiscates her phone after discovering that her boyfriend transcribed her books into a text-to-speech app, which leads said boyfriend to confront her about it.

* ''Manga/GreenBox'': Sena calls his mom for help as he's been kidnapped, but she instead yells at him for skipping school.

** From what little we see of Shizuka's mother, she definitely 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.

* ''Literature/BalancingMySupportMagicAndSummoningMagicInADifferentWorld'' has both Arisu and Tamaki. They are both adopted out of the Japanese orphanage system, well and good, right? '''Wrong'''. Arisu's foster parents were cold and aloof, only interacting with her to "discipline" her in ways that remain unstated, but were so horrific that ''impending rape by an orc threatening to take away her virginity'' doesn't even faze her. Tamaki, on the other hand, got a major inferiority complex, and drives herself way, way too hard because her foster parents have a HairTriggerTemper and would scream and shout emotional abuse at her for the slightest failure, real or imagined. Both girls grew up believing nothing they ever did would be good enough.

* 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]].

*** 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 latter 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.

* In ''LightNovel/TheHeroWhoReturnedRemainsTheStrongestInTheModernWorld'', Kaguya's parents are crack dealers to fund their lavish lifestyle and are happy to sacrifice Kaguya to the fox and actively sabotage her efforts to avoid being sacrificed because her older sister scored a lucrative political marriage to a member of the main Abeno family. Their only "sympathy" for her consists of handing her a bottle of heroin to dull her sense of pain for when she's Eaten Alive.

* ''LightNovel/ISwearIWontBotherYouAgain'': Violette's mother, Bellerose, mistreated her daughter after her husband left her. She forced Violette to dress and act like Auld. Auld on the other hand left Violette in the hands of her abusive mother and never bothered to keep her safe.

* ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
** Implied. Riza Hawkeye tells Roy Mustang in a flashback that her father, who doubled as Roy's alchemy teacher, was "a terrifying man." The exact nature of his abuses are not made clear, but one thing is known for sure: [[spoiler:he used her as the HumanNotepad for his research on flame alchemy]] when she was younger than eighteen. The father's only "redeeming trait" was asking Roy to take Riza in and protect her in his LastWords, and he probably did it more [[spoiler:to ensure his research wouldn't be lost]] than for Riza's sake.
** All three of Hohenheim's kids in ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003''. [[spoiler:Envy]] definitely takes the cake, as while Ed and Al had Hohenheim merely pull a ParentalAbandonment and were left with a very loving mother [[spoiler:since Hohenheim realized his huge fuck up and didn't want them to be in danger]], [[spoiler:Envy was stuck with his mother [[BigBad Dante]], who only cared about herself and treated Envy as a tool.]]
** Shou Tucker is so desperate to achieve fame and fortune through spectacular alchemical skill that he turns his own daughter and her dog into a chimera, something which the author herself considered so vile that he is the one and only dead character who is shown in the "In Memoriam" omake cartoons as going to Hell, whereas other characters who committed utterly atrocious crimes are still shown flying up to Heaven.

* [[ArchnemesisDad Genzo]] [[EvilutionaryBiologist Kuruma]] from ''Majuu Sensen'' is basically what happens when you take [[Manga/ElfenLied Director Kakuzawa]] and [[Manga/FullMetalAlchemist Shou Tucker]] and then fuse the two into one psychotic madman. In addition to being a mad scientist who wants to create a new super-race of half-human, half-animal hybrids, he is a horrible father to his own son, [[TheHero Shinichi]], seeing him as nothing [[GuineaPigFamily but a guinea pig to be experimented on]], and fuses him with several other animals, turning him into a mutant, as part of his project. He does the same thing to his own wife, then has her killed when she tries to attack him, causing Shinichi to seek revenge on him and his fellow group of scientists.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''LightNovel/GroundControlToPsychoelectricGirl''. Makoto's aunt never told him she had a daughter. It turns out [[ParentalNeglect she was ignoring Erio]]. She soon gets better but [[ParentsAsPeople still isn't the best mother ever]]. Meme does care for Erio though.

* ''[[Creator/IkkiKajiwara Kyojin no Hoshi]]'': Ittetsu Hoshi was once a 3rd baseman until he was injured in World War II and was forced to retire. He became totally consumed with the idea of bringing up his son, Hyuuma, to be a first-class player using TrainingFromHell (the most iconic part of the training was a special spring-loaded harness Hyuuma wore beneath his) and is always cold and rigid towards his son. When he believes that fame is hurting the career of Hyuuma, he becomes the coach of son's rival to cause his defeat.
