History ShowerOfAngst / AnimeAndManga

* Done by Asagami Fujino in ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai''; [[spoiler:in her case, she actually ''was'' raped]]. The value of this scene jumps to eleven when [[TheFilmOfTheBook the film adaptation]] came out. [[spoiler:Then again, she becomes a psychotic murderer who is simultaneously terrified of her powers and unconsciously leering at the horrid violence.]]

* Comedic example in ''Manga/YugamiKunNiWaTomodachiGaInai.'' [[TheAce Ace]] [[TheSouthpaw pitcher]] [[TheProtagonist Yuuji]] [[LonersAreFreaks Yugami]] misses a [[FlawlessVictory perfect game]] and later a no-hitter/shutout. His teammates try to console him but he plays it off like it's [[BlatantLies no big deal]]. Later, when his sister calls him for dinner, he's seen [[NotSoAboveItAll sighing dejectedly in the bath with the shower faucet beating down on him]].

* In ''Manga/OniisamaE'', Mariko doesn't necessarily take a shower, but she does have a bath (and it has the same effect of this trope) after [[spoiler:the incident with Nanako in which she [[MurderSuicide threatens to kill Nanako and herself]].]]

* ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'': After [[spoiler:being raped by a newly-demonic Griffith]], Casca is seen sitting fully-clothed under a waterfall.
** Also Griffith, after he becomes a prostitute to make money, complete with a wonderfully disturbing scene of him angsting while clawing at his arms until they bleed when washing himself. He only stops when Casca [[CooldownHug tearfully embraces him from behind.]]

* ''VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa}}'''s TheAnimeOfTheGame has one where Makoto Naegi angsts heavily after [[spoiler:the first murder (of his LoveInterest), trial, and execution.]]

* Happens twice in ''[[Anime/CuteyHoney Re: Cutie Honey]] (once after a shouting match with Natsuko and once after [[UnstoppableRage losing it]] in a battle aganst Black Claw). The first one turns into a ShowerOfAwkward when [[HandsomeLech Seiji]] decides to tag along with Natsuko in pulling her out of her rut.

* In the newest ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa'' series, Koujirou Hyuga has a shower of ''rage'' [[spoiler:after clashing with Willem violently in his first training session in Italy]].

* ''KarakuridoujiUltimo'': Yamato has one in chapter 4 when Sayama mistakes him for being a child molester.

** It's more complicated than that: [[spoiler:She was hallucinating that her abusive uncle had told her to stand under the boiling hot water and count to 10,000, since moving into his house meant she stopped getting treatment for her Hinamizawa Syndrome. She went along with all of the horrible things he did to her because of a combination of guilt (blaming herself for Satochi's disappearance), blackmail (he constantly threatened to burn down Satoshi's room), and plain old fear.]] Yeah, [[TheWoobie Satoko has it rough]].

* Lucia angsted in the shower once in VenusVersusVirus.

* ''FushigiYuugi'' doesn't actually feature Miaka in a shower (she's in a lake), but it still has that same effect as she [[spoiler:furiously scrubs herself with twigs to the point of bleeding in the hopes that it would purify her after Nakago had raped her. Of course, he didn't really get to do that]].
* How Esther is introduced in ''TrinityBlood'', with touches of OutDamnedSpot.
