History FamilyUnfriendlyDeath / Anime

* Anything Alucard does in {{Hellsing}}.

* ''AttackOnTitan'' has this covered with the fact that their human prey is EatenAlive. Titans themselves seem to have a wide variety of preferences for exactly ''how'' they eat humans; some are stuffed whole into mouths and crunched up, some are bitten in half, some are slurped down, some are dropped straight into the gaping mouth, one was even halfway down feet first being slowly gnawed down.

** Also, in ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', [spoiler:Beelzemon kills Leomon by STABBING HIM THROUGH THE STOMACH, with his ''bare'' claws. There's no blood, but they do show that Beelzemon's hand has gone all the way through Leomon's body and is now poking out of his back]].

** Also, in ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', Beelzemon kills Leomon by STABBING HIM THROUGH THE STOMACH WITH HIS CLAWS. There's no blood, but they do show that Beelzemon's hand has gone all the way through Leomon's body and is now poking out of his back.
*** One HeelFaceTurn later, and Beelzemon comes '''this''' close to having one of these. Specifically, via the D-Reaper shooting what were essentially ''flying knives'' into his ''spine'', from the back of his neck down to his tail. The scream he lets out as it happens is pretty much the icing on the cake. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids Sweet dreams, kiddies...]]

** Don't forget Freiza's death at the hands Trunks. Cut down the middle, sliced into pieces, ''then'' blasted into atoms. [[NoKillLikeOverKill Overkill much?]]
** This troper tends to remember [[spoiler:Krillin '''exploding''']] in the Freiza Saga being a particularly traumatic experience for Little Timmy who was watching with tears welling in his eyes. Then again, [[spoiler:many other characters had been killed by that point on Namek, not to mention the Saiyan Saga]] so it's quite likely Little Timmy was in therapy at this point.
** Yamucha's death by the green alien during the fight with Nappa and Yegeta deserves a mention. Krillin runs to his body and listens for a heartbeat. After screaming, "He's dead!" he then burst into tears. The death was also captured by the news crews, so everyone at Master Roshi's house witnessed the death. There's even an extended period where the visual keeps alternating between Bulma's stunned face and the scene on the television of Krillin crying beside his body.
*** Did not happen in the original dub (you know, the one that spawned the Over 9,000 meme). In original dub, Yamcha is simply vaporized by the Saibaman's selfedstruct.

* Presumably the reason why Episodes 27 and 35 of ''MonsterRancher'' were skipped by the Fox channel. In the former, Gray Wolf is stabbed in the throat by Tiger with his horn (though the cause of death seems to be the destruction of his baddie crest from said stab). Especially considering that Gray Wolf is Tiger's brother who was turned evil by [[BigBad Moo]]. In the latter, Naga commits suicide by [[DisneyVillainDeath falling over the edge of his castle]], despite the others [[SaveTheVillain trying to]] [[TakeMyHand save him]].
** Although this episode didn't get skipped, Undine commits suicide in Episode 24, jumping into the fire after Golem tries to save her despite her betrayal, making Naga's death seem as nothing.

** In the Team Galactic finale, Hunter J and her henchmen drown in the depths of Lake Valor.

* In ''{{Bleach}}'', Kaien Shiba's death is pretty horrible. Firstly, he has his body taken over by a Hollow, going on a rampage until he is killed by being impaled on Rukia's sword. Then the Hollow's body who he's fused with gets transported back to Hueco Mundo, and forms a new spirit body in the form of Kaien. Adding to this, said Hollow is soon eaten by Aaroniero Arruruerie, who later appears to Rukia as Kaien, and engages her in combat. Finally, Aaroniero's imitation of Kaien is stabbed by Rukia again - this time through the ''face''. Considering the fact that Kaien's body was being used as a puppet for quite a while after his death, it just adds to the nastiness.

** Even more so considering he's one of the good guys, and it's usually a CompleteMonster or BigBad (or both) who gets this type of death.
** Lucario is ''far'' from the only movie character to get this treatment. [[Anime/Pokemon4Ever Celebi]] had the life force drained from it until it literally became a withered, dessicated husk. [[Anime/PokemonHeroes Latios]] graphically drowns to death in a HeroicSacrifice. [[Anime/PokemonTheRiseOfDarkrai Darkrai]], similar to Lucario, is graphically disintegrated. [[Anime/PokemonZoroarkMasterOfIllusions Zoroark]] is graphically electrocuted to death by the BigBad while her young son is ForcedToWatch. The last one is notable for easily being the most graphic, brutal death of the entire series.

** Also, in ''DigimonTamers'', Beelzemon kills Leomon by STABBING HIM THROUGH THE STOMACH WITH HIS CLAWS. There's no blood, but they do show that Beelzemon's hand has gone all the way through Leomon's body and is now poking out of his back.

* In ''DigimonAdventure02'', the still NotQuiteDead BigBad, now possessing Oikawa, a lonely and obsessed man, ends up dragging the protagonists to a surreal dream dimension. There his spirit exits Oikawa's body through his mouth in an extremely violent and painful-looking manner. (Slow down the tape and the blob of energy that springs from Oikawa's mouth has a grinning face). Once he regains his body, he turns on the two servants he had created using Oikawa and proceeds to [[ColdBloodedTorture torture]] them and kill them in an unspeakably gruesome way, which traumatises the Digidestined for quite a while as they fear their partners will be subjected to the same fate.

** ''DigimonAdventure'' has this is spades in the Dark Masters arc. The first two Dark Masters get frozen by an ice blast at point blank range and drilled from the nose to tail. Whamon gets impaled through the head. Earlier Myotismon gets kicked in the crotch by a huge ball. Metal Etemon gets his chest cracked by a huge hammer, and then he gets impaled.

*** There is a Buddhist fable about a rabbit that kills itself by jumping into a fire so that a starving holy man can eat it. A rendition of this story is included in Tezuka's later manga series ''{{Buddha}}'' (which in general is not a kids' story and contains plenty of NightmareFuel), over twenty years after the first publication of ''Kimba''.

** Speaking of the manga, some of the villains die in rather unpleasant manners, placing emphasis on the fact that these deaths are at the hands the heroes. Yet these entries don't mention that there are two instances where we see the flesh [[NightmareFuel melt off of the bones]] of ''the heroes '''themselves.'''''

* In the ''SailorMoon'' manga, the three cats get ''torn apart'' by one of Galaxia's minions in the final arc. Like everyone else who died that arc, they got better, but its still pretty unsettling.
** In the anime, Sailor Venus' death was particularly violent (spikes impaling her in the stomach, then being imploded with fire. Don't worry, she gets better.

Yet these entries don't mention that there are two instances where we see the flesh [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel melt off of the bones]] of ''the heroes '''themselves.''''' [[ItGotWorse What's more,]] those are probably the most gruesome images of the series (even though they turn out to be illusions created by the villains). Imagine the reaction of a little girl who has fallen in love with the titular heroine they saw on TV. She finds the manga version and decides to read it, only to accidently pick up the volume that contains a [[BodyHorror horrifically disfigured image]] of her new idol.
** The manga's actually rated 13+ in America. As for Japan, well, it probably wouldn't faze kids there.

* ''{{Dragonball}} Z'' is full of them. Many are censored so that parts of them (but usually not the death itself) are not seen in the edited version. Aside from the bloody ones, there is a moment partially edited out of the edited version (but still making clear the character is dead) that Buu turns to liquid and goes down a deranged gunman's throat, making him expand and explode. Spopovich's death is similar, but less gruesome (to the point of not being censored at all). It is also gruesome to watch the first time we see Cell absorb someone; he jabs a rich man with his tail and sucks him in one bit at a time, causing him indescribable pain as he shrivels up before he is completely sucked into Cell's tail.
** Don't forget Freiza's death at the...Sword? of Trunks, cut down the middle then sliced into little tiny pieces, ''then'' blasted into atoms. [[NoKillLikeOverKill Over kill much?]]
** Well, considering the guy survived having a ''planet'' blow up in his face, a little extra effort is probably warranted.

* ''OnePiece'': *sob* [[spoiler: Portgas D. Ace]]. That's what [[spoiler: being punched with a fist of lava '''and''' having your insides ''melt down'' as a result]] will do to you.

** Lucario is ''far'' from the only movie character to get this treatment. [[Anime/Pokemon4Ever Celebi]] had the life force drained from it until it literally became a withered, dessicated husk. (HeGotBetter though) [[Anime/PokemonHeroes Latios]] graphically drowns to death in a HeroicSacrifice. [[Anime/PokemonTheRiseOfDarkrai Darkrai]], similar to Lucario, is graphically disintegrated.

----* ''GingaNagareboshiGin'' is about a pack of [[TalkingAnimal talking dogs]] on a quest to take down the BigBad. It also absolutely loves this trope to bits. The aforementioned BigBad? He gets his ''head sliced off''.
