An anime I don't know the name of, because it was featured as a 10 sec cut at a con seminar I didn't even attend...
It was about a yakuza boss' illegitimate son whose mother, after the boss died, was murdered. There was a scene where the mother's photo, the only thing he had left of her, was brutally ripped in front of his face.
