History AbusiveParents / AnimeAndManga

* ''OrikoMagica'': Yuma Chitose's dad was almost never around. Her mom blamed Yuma, constantly telling her she was useless and burning her forehead with cigarettes. Watching her parents get eaten alive and being subsequently reduced to living on the streets was ''a step up'' for Yuma.

* Kyouko Sakura from ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' counts. [[spoiler: Her father killed her entire family and made her watch after he learned that his followers to his church were only coming because Kyuubey compelled them to by Kyouko's wish, and not from actual interest. The only reason she lived was because she was technically, already DEAD.]]

* It is implied in ''DragonBall'' (specifically Goku and Frieza's fight) that Frieza's father, King Cold, and possibly his own mother, resorts to physical abuse on Frieza, as he mentions when fighting Goku that, besides Goku, the only people who ever managed to hurt him were "his loving parents". That might explain a few things about Frieza's nature.

* ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is quite fond of this trope.

* MutekiKanbanMusume: Being an hiliarious 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 [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop her mother is always justified]].

* There is something unsettling about Kyouko's mother in ''Manga/SkipBeat!''. The few scenes we see of her is when she is openly berating her then six-years-old daughter for not being academically perfect, and then ignoring her. Next we know, Kyouko is living most of her "family" life with Shou's family, the Fuwas, who are quite cold to her [[spoiler:while planning to make her either marry Shou or shape her into the heiress to their ''ryokan'']] but she still sees them as warmer than her mom. By the time Kyouko has snapped out her pathological search of affection and is trying to live in another city, it has become more than obvious that Mrs. Mogami ''just plainly doesn't care for her'', not even to seek fame because of Kyouko's increasingly notoriety.

* MutekiKanbanMusume: Being an hiliarious deconstruction of the FightingSeries, offers a subversion of this trope because Miki Onimaru is not a child, but a WomenChild, and when her mother punishes her is by a very violent CurbStompBattle. Also Miki is TheSlacker and TheBully, so [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop her mother is always justified]].

* MutekiKanbanMusume: Being an hiliarious deconstruction of the FightingSeries, offers a subversion of this trope because Miki Onimaru is not a child, but an AdultChild, and when her mother punishes her is by a very violent CurbStompBattle. Also Miki is TheSlacker and TheBully, so [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop her mother is always justified]].

* Some conversations in ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'' imply that [[spoiler:Masaomi Kida]]'s parents are neglectful and uncaring towards him, and don't seem the least bit concerned about him, whether he [[spoiler:ends up in the hospital due to gang activity]] or [[spoiler:drops out of school and disappears almost entirely.]]

** [[spoiler:ApocalypseMaiden Lacie Baskerville]] would probably fall under this as well, considering her entire family considered her to be a curse and [[spoiler: dropped her into the abyss, causing Jack to snap and cause the Tragedy of Sablier.]]

* Similarly, in ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'', Rosa Ushiromiya is this towards Maria. She is known to leave Maria at home for several days on end, often breaking promises she'd made to her beforehand for no reason other than to go on a vacation and leaving her very young daughter to buy dinner at the supermarket every day. And when people who notice the signs try to interfere on Maria's behalf, it...isn't nice. To say nothing of the times Rosa beats the shit out of her.
** However, Rosa [[PlayingWithATrope is somewhat unique]] in that [[ParentsAsPeople she genuinly loves Maria]] and, in fact, is very much a MamaBear when it's truly needed (in Episode 2, she [[spoiler: makes a badass LastStand against the goat butlers]]; in the game's Episode 8, she [[spoiler: shoves a rifle down Erika's throat when she gives Maria a HannibalLecture]]). She frequently apologizes to Maria after beating her, and spoils and pampers her in several scenes (buying her ice-cream, giving her the stuffed bear she'd call "Sakutaro", etc). In addition, she's portrayed quite sympathetically compared to other examples, [[JerkAssWoobie though not in a way that justifies her actions]], [[FreudianExcuse due to her]] [[ChewToy incredibly screwed up life]].
*** It doesn't help that ''Rosa'' herself comes from an abusive household, since Kinzo Ushiromiya wasn't exactly a model father, either to her or to her siblings Krauss, Eva and Rudolf. Worse, [[spoiler: he also commits ParentalIncest with his illegitimate daughter, Beatrice Ushiromiya.]]

* Androssi Zahard from ''TowerOfGod'' and her adopted sisters were forced to fight each other by their father on a daily basis to decide which one would become a Princess of Zahard.
** The children of Hendo Lok Bloodmadder must die early because that is the condition he must fulfill to be immortal.

* Several examples from ''[[Anime/PandoraHearts Pandora Hearts]]''

* [[CheerfulChild Oz Vessalius]] is an orphan whose father barely ever sees him at all, [spoiler:calls him a vile creature when he tries to prevent his own SERVANT from being taken away from him after the latter [[CallingtheOldManOut]], says that "Whatever becomes of IT is none of my concern. Not only that, he was the one who sent Oz to the Abyss.]]
* Vincent and Gilbert Nightray were [[Woobies]] throughout the series due to people mistreating them because of Vincent's eye color, which led people to think he was a curse. Their own parents abandoned them and when they finally met a decent person [[spoiler: ManipulativeBastard Jack Vessalius, he brainwashed Gilbert into becoming an unstable person]]
* Vincent is even this way to his own dutiful servant Echo, abusing her and even sending her away when his brother comes over, so her presence will be "a burden."
* [[spoiler:ApocalypseMaiden Lacie Baskerville]] would probably fall under this as well, considering her entire family considered her to be a curse and [[spoiler: dropped her into the abyss, causing Jack to snap and cause the Tragedy of Sablier.]]

** [[spoiler:Anri Sonohara]]'s father started physically lashing out at her when his antique shop business started going sour. [[spoiler:During one of these beatings, Anri's mother Sayaka went MamaBear and grabbed an antique sword they recently came into possession of to protect her. [[ItGotWorse Too bad it was an]] EvilWeapon named "Saika"...]]

** Auguste himself suffered both physical and sexual abuse at the hands of [[spoiler:his much-older stepbrother]] and at one point [[spoiler: he tried to kill Auguste by burning him after discovering that he was sleeping with his wife, but it left him with [[GoodScarsEvilScars a rather nasty scar]].]] and it's also revealed that [[spoiler:that his stepbrother raped him when he was younger.]]

* ''RanmaOneHalf'': Genma Saotome manages both emotional and physical abuse (constantly insulting and demeaning him, stealing his food, the Neko-ken) of Ranma, and [[DomesticAbuse isn't much better towards his wife]]. Soun Tend? manages emotional neglect of his 3 daughters, due to the huge ValuesDissonance: he ''does'' have good intentions, like his and Kasumi's ImageSong "Otousan" reveals, but is just too backwards in regards to mentality. Finally, "grandfather" Happ?sai rounds off the sexual abuse with groping and molesting anything that looks even vaguely female. And somehow [[ComedicSociopathy none of these people are considered examples of this trope]]!
** Though she gets a lot of glossing over, both in the series and in reality, Nodoka Saotome, Ranma's mother, actually covers emotional abuse just as well as her husband, if not more so. While it was not her idea, and she is a traditional sort of woman, her dedication to a contract that Ranma "signed" when he was barely a toddler, incapable of understanding what was going on, is insane. Worse, the conditions of said contract are so vague as to be almost non-existent -- the verbal part of the oath was "Ranma will become a Man among Men", while the written contract simply states "I will commit {{Seppuku}}", sealed with Genma's thumbprint and baby Ranma's handprint. Despite this, [[HonorBeforeReason she is perfectly willing to consider it valid]], and is so dedicated that she carries a sword whevere she goes, just in case she should meet Ranma and have to call him to go through with it. She even ''bathes'' and ''sleeps'' with it! Ranma is thusly forced to hide himself from her, masquerading as "Ranko Tend?", a fictious cousin of his fianc?Akane. Even when they do finally meet face to face, while she doesn't demand he go through with the oath for his GenderBender curse, she doesn't call the contract fulfilled either. Even at the end of the series, it's still in application, meaning she can threaten him with a torturous death by disembowelment whenever she pleases.

* Androssi Zahard from ''TowerOfGod‘‘ and her adopted sisters were forced to fight each other by their father on a daily basis to decide which one would become a Princess of Zahard.

* Mayu from ''Manga/ElfenLied'' was raped by her stepfather, this being the reason why she ran away from home.
** To add extreme insult to injury, her already-distant mother, when Mayu told of this abuse, did not disbelieve her or ask her to not say anything... she slapped and berated her out of jealousy, treating her violated daughter as a sexual competitor. While in the anime, she refers to Kouta and Yuka as the mother and father of the group, in the manga, she is understandably still phobic towards guys, and while she respects, admires, and is grateful to the pair, any overt parental associations are kind of shut out.
*** Ironically, she bonds the most with Bandou who generally treats her like crap (mostly verbally). Then again, EvenEvilHasStandards in Bandou's case.

** Another ''Anime/MazingerZ'' character who suffered due to AbusiveParents was... BigBad Dr. Hell himself. Like it was seen in the manga continuity penned by GosakuOta (that gave a backstory to most of the villains), since he was a child his mother abused him physically and emotionally (insulting him, stating openly she did not want getting kids and she would be better off if he would have never been born...) as his father shrugged off indifferently. The physical and psychological mistreatment he suffered back then is one of the reasons he decided HumansAreBastards and he became so unhinged.

* [[spoiler:Kira]] from the manga ''Mars'' [[spoiler:is raped by her stepfather. That's how her shyness and fear of boys gets explained.]]

* ''YuGiOh''

** Luckily, and probably thanks to Naruto, Hiashi evened out and became supportive to his eldest daughter. Hell, by Part II, [[spoiler: he now thinks she is as strong as Neji and gives her a personal bodyguard.]] CharacterDevelopment, you do your work.

** In fact, [[DysfunctionJunction pretty much every parental figure in Eva]] is abusive, [[ParentalAbandonment dead]], or both.

** Actually, no. The memories that Wiseman manipulated were not of Usagi and Mamoru emotionally abusing Chibi-Usa, but of them telling her to stand on her own feet in case they weren't there for her. Chibi-Usa was stressed and depressed because of ''other'' deals (like showing emotional exhaustion from all of her trials, and how she was despairing [[spoiler: because Usagi couldn't wake up her own future self from the coma she was in]]), and it wasn't helped by Wiseman ''[[MindRape using his powers to mind rape her]]''.

* 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 even 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.

* Emperor Charles zi Britannia from ''Anime/CodeGeass'', an extreme SocialDarwinist who pushes his kids to take dangerous jobs... and subtly encourages them to war with and kill one another to secure their position in the line of succession. Lelouch gets the worst of it, getting disowned, screamed at, and used as a political hostage when he gets angry at Charles for not giving a damn about the assassination of Lelouch's mother or the crippling of his little sister in the same incident. [[spoiler:Late in the series, we learn that Charles actually ''did'' love Lelouch's mother Marianne and considered her children to be his favorites; his abusive attitude, which Marianne supported and went along with, was intended to make Lelouch and Nunnally stronger people. The pair even wanted to get the two kids in on their AssimilationPlot, but Lelouch, having recently crossed over the DespairEventHorizon, was in no mood to hear that all the crap he'd been put through in the last decade was "because Mommy and Daddy love you very much".]]
** And let's not forget that [[spoiler:Nunnally's blindness was not the result of traumatic stress, but because Charles inflicted it upon her with his Geass, ostensibly to protect her by making people think she wasn't a threat (her paraplegia, however, was authentic). You better believe Lelouch wasn't happy about that.]]

* Almost everything wrong in [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma's]] life can be traced back to the actions of his father, Genma. Juusenkyo? Genma's idea. A crippling fear of cats? Genma didn't bother reading the page mentioning how utterly stupid a particular training regime was. Getting Ukyou and Shampoo dead set on killing them? Both due to Genma's short-sighted greed and gluttony, though Ranma was somewhat to blame in the latter case. Not to mention pairing him up with a girl who will assault him or lash out at him for the pettiest misunderstandings, in an arranged marriage. Even separating Ranma from his mother at toddler age, thus ensuring the boy would get very limited social and emotional development, was Genma's idea, because she would have made him "weak"... and let's not even go into the bit about the seppuku vow Ranma was made to take without knowing. Although he may claim he did it all to make Ranma a peerless fighter and man among men, his actual motivation is mostly to provide him, Genma, with a carefree future where he doesn't have to work and can just while his days away with his best friend, Soun.

** Ironically enough, he may be the less abusive parent compared to his wife, Nodoka. While Genma manipulates Ranma for his own personal gain, he still attempts to protect Ranma throughout his life. Nodoka, on the other hand, is completely determined to carry out the {{Seppuku}} contract she and Genma had Ranma sign when he was just a baby. Even though she wants to see her son, she will kill him if she doesn't find him manly. [[spoiler: And even after she discovers Ranma's a {{GenderBender}} and determines that his actions are still manly enough for the contract, she is still perfectly willing to carry out the Seppeku ritual if she feels that his conduct isn't satisfactory]]... Yeah, Ranma's family is pretty screwed up.

* Soichiro Arima from ''KareKano'' had very violent parents who beat him until he was abandoned and sent to live with his more generous aunt and uncle.
** Note that in the manga, [[spoiler:Arima's birth father, Reiji, actually ''realized'' this was wrong and directly asked his older brother to raise his kid so little Arima would have a normal life from then on. Also, several years later Reiji comes back and attempts to make things better (though, seriously, ''threatening him and Yukino at gunpoint'' to make sure your boy listens to you?). Arima's mother Ryouko, on the other hand, remains abusive -- Reiji came back to Japan intending to ''kill'' her on behalf of their son.]]

** However, Rosa [[PlayingWithATrope is somewhat unique]] in that [[ParentsAsPeople she genuinly loves Maria]] and, in fact, is very much a MamaBear when it's truly needed (in Episode 2, she [[spoiler: makes a badass LastStand against the goat butlers]]; in the game's Episode 8, she [[spoiler: shoves a rifle down Erika's throat when she gives Maria a HannibalLecture]]). She frequently apologizes to Maria after beating her, and even spoils and pampers her in several scenes (buying her ice-cream, giving her the stuffed bear she'd call "Sakutaro", etc). In addition, she's portrayed quite sympathetically compared to other examples, [[JerkAssWoobie though not in a way that justifies her actions]], [[FreudianExcuse due to her]] [[ChewToy incredibly screwed up life]].

* ''RanmaOneHalf'': Genma Saotome manages both emotional and physical abuse (constantly insulting and demeaning him, stealing his food, the Neko-ken) of Ranma, and [[DomesticAbuse isn't much better towards his wife]]. Soun Tend? manages emotional neglect of his three daughters, due to the huge ValuesDissonance: he ''does'' have good intentions, like his and Kasumi's ImageSong "Otousan" reveals, but is just too backwards in regards to mentality. Finally, "grandfather" Happ?sai rounds off the sexual abuse with groping and molesting anything that looks even vaguely female. And somehow [[ComedicSociopathy none of these people are considered examples of this trope]]!

* General Cross from ''DGrayMan'' raised Allen Walker and sort of acted as a surrogate father, but it is implied and shown that he heavily abuses Allen (though it's usually [[ComedicSociopathy shown comedically]]). When Allen was young, Cross would frequently gamble and get into debt, leaving young Allen to deal with the debt collectors (which is the contributing reason to why Allen became so good at cheating in cards). Cross is also shown later punching Allen (again, played for comedy), suggesting that he frequently did this even when Allen was young. He also left the poor kid to hunt down the Black Order headquarters by himself with no clues to go on, knocking Allen out so he could avoid reporting in. Basically, despite the fact that it's [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood played for laughs]], Cross's behavior spans emotional, physical, and financial abuse, with a side order of abandonment. [[TheWoobie Poor Allen]].

** Some mention should go to Tsukushi's parents. While they're generally flighty but loving, one chapter has her coming home from school to find them and her brother packing their things: they were moving out to the city, ''not'' taking Tsukushi, or planning to tell her until that very day. Keep in mind Tsukushi's is in school and has no job...Her parents promise to send money for her, but when she finally gets a letter from them, it says that they don't have money to send her yet, so here, have some strips of seaweed. Tsukushi honestly thought she'd starve, and probably would have if not for Tsukasa.

* Although Baron Julian Danglars from ''{{Gankutsuou}}'' maintains that he only wants his daughter Eugenie to be happy and that everything he does is for her sake, he clearly [[MoneyFetish cares more about money]] than his own family. He is the most powerful banker in France and he seeks wealth above everything else, disregarding the feelings of those closest to him in the process. He sees the marriage of Eugénie (first to Albert and later to Andrea) as a way to enhance his family's wealth and prestige. The problem is his pushing Eugenie into marrying Andrea (against her wishes even) turns out bad because Andrea is actually insane, and is revealed to be her half-brother. Andrea routinely sexually harasses Eugenie and eventually tries to rape her as well. Not to mention Eugenie had started to warm up to the idea of marrying Albert and had fallen in love with him. Her father cancelled the engagement to Albert because of a bad rumor surrounding his family and gave Andrea permission to marry her, ''without even asking his daughter if she wanted to first or even informing her of his plans.'' And later refuses to let her out of the house, and slaps her when she attempts to go see Albert.

* Gregory, of GregoryHorrorShow, has Gregory Mama, the only character that Gregory actually ''fears,'' and is a bigger villain than he is! Gregory Mama frequently shouts at her son, insults him, and can't seem to go a single conversation without striking him on the head with her staff. She's also a witch, and is most probably immortal...meaning Gregory will have to put up with her abuse for all eternity. The guy hates her so much that when a shelf falls on her and crushes her, he actually considers letting her die, or finishing her off himself. (She threw the shelf off of her, screaming at him for not helping, and Gregory broke down the door in his haste to get the hell away.)
* In ''YuGiOh'', emotional and implied physical abuse of Seto Kaiba by his adoptive father, Gozaburo. Also emotional neglect of his other sons, Noah and Mokuba. [[SelfMadeOrphan Backfired]].
** Ryuuji Otogi as well in the manga, where his father is a crazy clown who carries a whip and uses it on Ryuuji in front of his friends, as well as emotionally abusing him through the guilt-trip of telling Ryuuji he's the only one who can save his father. Cue [[WellDoneSonGuy issues]] and Ryuuji [[LoveMartyr very cautiously]] telling his father that it's wrong to want revenge.

** Dartz goes insane and tries to kill his own daughter and father... [[BrainwashedAndCrazy although in that case, it wasn't totally his fault]].

* ''OrikoMagica'': Yuma Chitose's dad was almost never around. Her mom blamed Yuma, constantly telling her she was useless and even burning her forehead with cigarettes. Watching her parents get eaten alive and being subsequently reduced to living on the streets was ''a step up'' for Yuma.

* [[spoiler:Katherine]] in ''{{King Of Thorn}}'', who was an alchoholic and would physically abuse [[spoiler:her son Michael]], to the point where social services stepped in and removed him from [[spoiler:her]] care. Throughout the series [[spoiler:Katherine]] deeply regrets her actions.

* Hayate from ''HayateTheCombatButler'' suffered this in spades. Not only they ran away from home and slapped their son with their debts, they even ''sold his organs to the Yakuza to pay it off''!!!

* In ''Anime/LuckyStar'' this seemed to be the case for Akira Kogami, who works in the Lucky Channel segment. It's even implied in the first episode that [[spoiler:her mother took all of her salary that he got from her job]].

* In ''Anime/LuckyStar'' this seemed to be the case for Akira Kogami, who works in the Lucky Channel segment. It's even implied in the first episode.

* ''[[DotHack .hack//SIGN]]'' indicated that Tsukasa was physically beaten as well as neglected, such as when Krim just getting upset caused Tsukasa to have a flashback and start to cry "Please don't hit me, please don't hit me!". Tsukasa's father is also implied to be the "crazy man" who tried to kill Tsukasa's real body in the hospital bed. ''.hack//LINK: Twilight Knights'' has shown more delightful images from Tsukasa's real life childhood, showing multiple body-wide bruises.

* Soubi from ''{{Loveless}}'' suffered sexual abuse at the hands of his teacher Ritsu, who, though not technically his father, was the man responsible for raising him after he was orphaned and therefore as close to a parent as he had.
