* Kendaman and Screw Kid '''drilling through the stomachs of Brocken Jr. and Rikishiman''', complete with blood violently splattering everywhere and the two unfortunate Seigi Choujin screaming in agony. The designs of Screw Kid and Kendaman themselves can also count as this, given how the upper half of Screw Kid's face is replaced with an appropriately sized screw, and Kendaman usually has his head taken off, making him look like somebody ripped his head off.
** Screw Kids initial design was arguably worse, as instead of simply having the upper half of his face replaced with a screw, his entire neck and head were replaced by one giant screw, making him look less like a screw-themed wrestler, and more like something that wouldn't be out of place in a SurrealHorror film.

* In the anime, surprisingly we have Kinnikuman's match against Curry Cook. While you think that Kin's just being a coward as usual when he tries to escape the ring enclosed in a steel cage, but then we get a good look at Curry Cook...and let's just say that the anime did a ''really'' good job of how scary someone should be if they kill opponents for fun in a sport. You honestly can't blame Kin for being scared out of his mind, especially after witnessing Ramenman kill his opponent in the first match.

** In a case of GoneHorriblyRight, the anime tries to tone the match down, and as a result, we get [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7Ne33LqBio this thing]]. Granted, it's less violent, but no less nightmarish. In fact, by way of FridgeHorror it's even worse, considering that Ramenman ''[[ImAHumanitarian ate a human being]]''. There's something just bone-chillingly disturbing to see what used to be a Choujin being carried off in a stretcher as bowls of ramen a few scenes later, served as food. [[SchmuckBait Bonus points if you're eating ramen noodles while you're watching the video]].

to:

* The Arrogant Spark. [[spoiler:Silverman's FinishingMove and the reason why he wanted to rework it into the Muscle Spark. When Silverman used it on Psychoman, the first half of the move is similar to the Muscle Spark with the exception of Silverman ''twisting the arms of Psychoman and using them to choke him out'' while the latter's leg is pulled even harder! When the second half of the move is performed, Psychoman's head wobbles painfully while the air gets cutoff from being thrown down fast since his body isn't curled. As the move finally connects, Psychoman gets slammed ''chin, chest, and arms first'' into the ring. Psychoman vomits blood onto Silverman while his battered body reverts back to position in horrifying manner. He only survived because the move was performed on the crater that softened the blow. Still, it's truly the move that is meant to KILL the opponent.]]
** It popped up again when [[spoiler:Nemesis uses the same attack on Kinnikuman AFTER seeing it once instead of the Muscle Spark! It's already horrifying to have it performed on the protagonist and that it could possibly kill him. When it looked like Kinnikuman got killed from it, in the twist that Nemesis suffers heavy damage from USING it and that Suguru is NotQuiteDead. Arrogant Spark isn't just a move for murder, it's also AwesomeButImpractical since it is a double-edged move that took Silverman ''centuries'' to master.]]

* Brockenman vs. Ramenman is rather unsettling, made even worse by the fact that this match happened ''before'' CerebusSyndrome kicked in. It's pretty easy to doubt that any child who read that when it came out in the 70s fell asleep easy that night. It's also incredibly unsettling because of Ramenman's [[CharacterizationMarchesOn future portrayal of as a noble and wise martial artist]], so it's hard to swallow knowing he was once like this.

Mr. Khamen's special involves wrapping the opponent in cloth and then mummifying them by ''sucking out all the water in their body until they become a dried husk''.

* In the Throne Arc, we have the origins of Parthenon, a Choujin from Greece, which consisted of the young men that built him being [[SarcasmMode honored]] by being entombed ''alive'' in his pillars. Worst of all, Parthenon can dissolve his pillars and regenerate them in order to trap opponents inside of them as ''an attack'', knowing that those pillars are filled with methane and other gases given of from the decaying bodies, ensuring a slow FateWorseThanDeath for the opponent if they can't get out.out.
* "Crazed Robin Mask". During the 20th Choujin Olympics Finals, Robin cracks his mask against a ringpost, causing him to bleed profusely. The panel of him glaring at Kinnikuman, declaring his intent to ''kill'', as blood pours out from under the mask kills any remaining vestige of the "superhero parody" stretch of the series. Shortly after this, [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Robin goes berserk]].

As expected from a wrestling manga, when the violence gets bad in this series, it tends to get ''really'' bad. Despite that, there's a surprising amount of generally scary things and some AndIMustScream fates for any poor soul who happens to be on the losing end of a match.

* A side-effect of the cartoony art and extremely gory violence is that any time the series features a particularly vicious move, you can just ''feel'' it. Someone's getting torn open, or impaled, or twisted until their spine breaks? Ow. And keep in mind that, in this series, this kind of thing is just ordinary wrestling.
* The match between Mr. Khamen and Brocken Jr. when Mr. Khamen uses his finishing move on [[spoiler: the referee, by accident]]. Mr. Khamen's special involves wrapping the opponent in cloth and then mummifying them by ''sucking out all the water in their body until they become a dried husk''. It doesn't really help that he ''overdid'' it; he sucked up so much moisture of the victim that he even sucked up his '''skin'''. It's so disturbing and unsettling that it makes many a reader really wonder how Mr. Khamen wasn't the BigBad of that arc. [[hottip:*:Thankfully it's made less disturbing in the anime; the referee was replaced by Kinkotsuman, who apparently wasn't affected AT ALL.]]
** The worst part? Mr. Khamen was a Devil Choujin, meaning he was ''banned for killing too many opponents''.
* [[http://www.mangareader.net/361-25029-8/kinnikuman/chapter-34.html Brockenman]][[http://www.mangareader.net/361-25029-9/kinnikuman/chapter-34.html Vs.]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/361-25029-10/kinnikuman/chapter-34.html Ramenman]] is rather unsettling, made even worse by the fact that this match happened ''before'' CerebusSyndrome kicked in. I seriously doubt that any child who read that when it came out in the 70s fell asleep easy that night.
** In a case of GoneHorriblyRight, the anime tries to tone the match down, and as a result, we get [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91HCNNaSs3I this thing]]. Granted, it's less violent, but no less nightmarish. In fact, by way of FridgeHorror it's even worse, considering that Ramenman ''[[ImAHumanitarian ate a human being]]''. [[SchmuckBait Bonus points if you're eating ramen noodles while you're watching the video]].
*** His match against Kinnikuman in the anime is no better either. As it begins, he's breathing heavily through his mouth, has an evil glint in his eyes and he's laughing. In short, they made it look like Kin was going up against someone who should be in a straitjacket rather than in a wrestling ring.
* In the anime, surprisingly we have Kinnikuman's match against Curry Cook. While you think that Kin's just being a coward as usual when he tries to escape the ring enclosed in a steel cage, but then we get a good look at Curry Cook...and let's just say that the anime did a ''really'' good job of how scary someone should be if they kill opponents for fun in a sport.
* Speaking of Ramenman, you want to know what becomes of him in the next Choujin Olympics? It's not pretty.[[spoiler: His ''brain'' gets pierced by Warsman's '''bear claws''', [[AndIMustScream reducing him to a vegetative state.]]]]
* The final of the 21st Choujin Olympics gives us a good example of BodyHorror, where due to match regulations, Warsman has to remove his mask after losing, as shown at the top of the page. Yeah, we're pretty sure that Harabote must be kicking himself for making up that rule.
* In the Throne Arc, we have the origins of Parthenon, a Choujin from Greece, which consisted of the young men that built him being [[SarcasmMode honored]] by being entombed ''alive'' in his pillars. Worst of all, Parthenon can dissolve his pillars and regenerate them in order to trap opponents inside of them as ''an attack'', knowing that those pillars are filled with methane and other gases given of from the decaying bodies, ensuring a slow FateWorseThanDeath for the opponent if they can't get out.
