Did YOUR favorite piece of nightmare fuel make the list? Let us know in the comments!

The part that most disturbed me and made it hard to watch Miches death was the fact he never showed fear toward titans and he always seemed strong, but then when he sees the Ape Titan he suddenly is fearful and seeing him scream as he's torn apart by titans made the whole scene all the more disturbing

_THEY DISTURB ME BUT I WOULDNT SAY THEY GAVE NIGHTMARE FUEL_

Of course Vampire Lord Michael Jackson is nightmare fuel.

Fun Fact: All the deaths on this list are part of Diavolo's Death Loop

I’m guessing the Higurashi, Umineko, Blood C, Petshop of Horrors, Corpse Party, and Hellsing deaths are honorable mentions?

#10: And here I thought only one killer rabbit was enough. We’re gonna need a lot of Holy Hand Grenades.

*sees Subaru and the rabbits* JESUS CHRIST! Get the holy hand grenades!

The Eclipse just doesn’t sit right with anyone. It’s one of those “did that just happen” moments.

Seeing the kids in Abyss go through that turns my stomach more than anything every time

It's obvious Made in Abyss will be here

I still remember how Super Buu literally ventured inside a man's stomach and made him explode shortly after he transformed from Evil Buu in DBZ.

Yup, Berserk is on here

For those who are in a rush! There are some errors, I apologize. 10. Death by Bunnies (Re:Zero) 0:44 9. Curse of the Abyss (Made in Abyss) 1:37 8. Shark Attack (The God of High School) 2:40 7. Food for Flowers (The Promised Neverland) 3:38 6. Titan Buffet (Attack on Titan) 4:26 5. Off with the head (Madoka Magica) 5:08 4. Green Day ( Jojo Part 5) 5:58 3. Firing the Lower Moons (Demon Slayer) 6:50 2. The Eclipse (Berserk) 7:47 1. Drowning in Sin (Sword Art Online Alicization ) 8:48

The Eclipse is by far the most nightmarish thing not only in Anime and Manga, but of any form of fiction. Just imagine not only being branded as a sacrifice, but to die a brutal, agonizing, torturous, and grotesque death by horrendous apostles who mind you where once human themselves.

A “Top 10 Anime (name any horrible thing)” will automatically have Berserk on the list

How is Asuka vs the Mass Produced Evas not in here.

Top 10 Anime Characters That Suffered A lot But Eventually Found Peace

The unrestrained use of Hokuto Shinken or Nanto Seiken can give one nightmares.

The Eclipse from Berserk was traumatizing as hell when I first saw it. I Still can't bring myself to watch the show again knowing its going to happen.

Yu Yu Hakusho, the sinning tree. Not as gruesome, but an eternity of being sucked dry by a tree while stuck in an endless loop of your own torment is pretty nightmare fueling imo

In “End of Evangelion”, they showed me a lot of nightmarish deaths while that boy was sobbing in tears at the very end.

The eclipse scene from berserk has stuck with me ever since I saw it in high school and I'm 32 now. Probably the most fcked up sht in anime ever tbh

I find it more disturbing that none of these entrees effected me

What about Kanae’s death in Elfein Lied? That was horrifyingly brutal

I feel like En's powers from Dorohedoro deserve an honorable mention. His magic can either be instantaneous and painless or slow and agonizing, but once he unleashes it, whether in uncontrolled rage or tamed precision, it's inevitable for anyone caught in the black cloud. It's either turning someone into a pile of separate mushrooms or slowly having masses of mushrooms consume and replace them. What's worse is that the people he turns into mushrooms, they can be reverted back to normal by his cousin Noi's restorative magic, meaning they are alive the entire time they're afflicted; but in the meanwhile the only solace that awaits them is being cooked alive, screams unheard and pain unimaginable, and eventually fed to En as well as his friends and family in the form of high-class cuisine. He's both a vegan and a cannibal at the same time and his affinity for fungi, what started as a need for survival, is more of a hobby for him; he enjoys growing mushrooms in his garden and turning people into mushrooms to later use in his meals. Granted, a lot of the deaths and magic in Dorohedoro are nightmare fuel, but En's magic has more horrifying implications. A runner-up would be the kid with the meat pie magic (he turns people into giant meat pies; we literally watch a victim of self-defense turn inside out, into a pie, and later eaten, this is never really explained or justified or even really brought up again, he seems like a nice kid though).

It’s nice information. Thank you.

Ha! jokes on you. I'm awake at 4.43 in the morning.

Interesting choices watchmojo!!!

what about diavalo’s endless loop of painful deaths¿

Agree: -Titan Buffet: Certainly a frightening way to finish the first chapter of a new season, that death was very graphic ans sounds very painful -Green day: Not only a horrible way to die, is disturbing to see how chaos spread in the city -Firing the lower moons: Ufotable really did a good job potraying Muzan as a really, really creepy villain and spreading the feeling of fear of death that his subordinates felt, his mere presence is horrifying -The Eclipse: This should be the number #1 hell!! Disagree: -Off with her head: That death and the dark tone is the real reason why I watch madoka magica, so when I saw Mami's death I only thougt "the fun is just beginning" it wan't very scary for me. -Drowing in sin: I don't even watch SAO Alicization yet (because I hate the first two seasons and I ended up hating the series) but doesn't look very scary for me. I have not seen the others yet I recommend: -Luke valentine's death (Hellsing ultimate) -Acid spray (Deadman wonderland) -Humans meatballs (Hunter x Hunter) Practically almost every death in the chimeras ant arc can be on this list, another examples are the death of those two kids and every human who was killed by Meruem before he meet Komuji, he was as intimidating as Muzan at the start -Practically every time that Lucy commits a massacre (Elfen lied) -That Budda statue (Gantz)

Me praying to god that cell absorbing androids isnt on here

Great job

Miche's death is probably the scariest death in the whole aot universe

Thank you for mentioning the LN version of Re: Zero's murder bunnies.

Dio turns in to a vampire and kills all the cops

Amazing

great anime, disappointing list.

You forgot to mention the fact mike got his head bite at the very end of the episode

Let's see there was Leon's death in Danganronpa: The Animation aka the execution so brutal they censored most of the body reveal for the anime. And then there was the disturbing death of main protagonist Satoshi's little sister Yuya in Corpse Party: The Animation basically she was captured by the psychotic ghost of a 4th-grade biology prodigy, given a drug a that would paralyze her but still allow her to feel pain, stripped naked by said psychotic ghost, and then dissected while she was still alive by said psychotic ghost.

Actually in the rabbit death you can see subaru's stomach bulging and moving.

Finally a list with made in abyss on it. Such an underrated anime

I love how one of the "Deaths" isn't really a death. It's more "a fate that will make death seem ideal."

I was waiting for Beserk to make it on here!

Still waiting to see Prushka in one of these lists

10. Death by Bunnies (Re:Zero) 9. Curse of the Abyss (Made in Abyss) 8. Shark Attack (The God of High School) 7. Food for Flowers (The Promised Neverland) 6. Titan Buffet (Attack on Titan) 5. Off with her Head (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) 4. Green Day (JoJo's Bizarre Adv. Golden Wind) 3. Firing the Lower Moons (Demon Slayer) 2. The Eclipse (Berserk) 1. Drowning in Sin (Sword Art Online: Alicization - War of Underworld)

The Made in Abyss part should have been being turned into an immortal lunchbox.

You should see arc 2 of Magia Record, was shocked the first time I saw Yuna killing another magical girl 😱

I’m surprised Gaara’s Sand Coffin/Burial didn’t end up on the list.

That scene alone from Demon Slayer legit got me frozen, like I never felt intimidated by a villain before and it's just...wow.

Can you do top 10 moments from the Stargirl TV show?

Deaths in "another" traumatizes me so much that watching the umbrella scene once makes me cursed with anxiety for a week

Excuse me where is Akame Ga Kill the "lolipop" kill was more terrifying than those weak kills

Thanks, Watchmojo. I won't be able to sleep properly now.

The Gabriel death was so freaky gave me shivers which I have never got from an anime death

most nightmare death was probably when those cockroaches from mars ripped a guy's head off and yanked his spine out as well, spraying blood and organs all around. I couldn't finish that anime lol

Congratulations you have officially destroyed my sleep schedule

the part where muzan slaughtered the lower demons still haunts me to this day, his eyes froze me in place.

The girl with the umbrella from "Another" and Chelsea from Akame ga kill And someone from Garden of sinners but i can't remember his name

I think Nina Tucker's body horror before being exploded from the inside out deserves a mention. If not for the death as it was undoubtedly a mercy killing then for the idea of "Hey, I know what to do with this toddler character. Who's seen The Fly (1988)?"

Literally any death from Blood C could upend most of this list, specifically the teacher who gets her head bit off. Still disturbs me.

Every death from ANOTHER is just something people will forget.

you put that rabbit on 10 i put that rabbit in number 1. that's the least how i wanted to die. getting shredded by fkn bunnies who nimble you inside outside for hour and where 1 second is already like a minute.

Cioccolata is terrifying

Im not Sure what's really Scary, the Eclipse from Berserk or Lucy's Rampage from Elfen Lied or the 3rd Impact from The End of Evangelion

Imm up at 3 in the morning watching this

Why am I watching this before going to bed ??

The bunny one made me gag when I first saw it on Re: Zero

The Deaths in Corpse Party anime. I couldn't sleep for almost 4 days!

Make top 10 best demon slayer scenes or characters! I love demon slayer!

Tbh I think either Jack the Ripper & Hassan of the Cursed Arm deserve an honourable mention for being able to crush someone's heart

I’m still wonder where they get this background sountrack?

I saw the video recommended and my first thought was "Mami head jokes hours"

No. 1 gave me good dreams when I watched it. Ahhh, sweet retribution.

You should do top 20 anime to look forward to in 2021

This is my issue with Anime. I can’t take the characters & story seriously when i see a child aged 10 - 15 years as a protagonist I need More anime like Berserk god dammit !

I'm surprised Nina's death on Fullmetal Alchemist (2003 or Brotherhood) didn't make the list.

Hey, WatchMojo. Can you please do Top 10 Date A Live Girls?

You should add Corpse Party , Elfen Lied , Another , Akame Ga kill and similar like this type of animes 🙏

The opening scene of Elfen Lied is still nightmare fuel for me.

Diavolo with his infinite deaths: I'm joke to you?

Just wanna say when douma ,kokushibo and final form muzan will show up on boy you gotta need a whole separate new list for them

Damn! Those are some deadly lagomorphs.

*THE THUMBNAIL WAS ENOUGH*

1. Drowning in Sin- SAO In 2022- Enter the Paranormal Liberation War Arc with Shigaraki decaying his family as an honorable mention

1:09 “No joke, this is going to mess you up” Especially after learning that everyone’s missing

Before I even start this list, I have one thing to say: GOOSH GOOSH

The most disturbing thing in any anime or manga I've ever seen is the backstory of the village of Narahate from made in abyss .

I’m planning on a scene similar to #3 where Galaxian snaps at some underlings after a major defeat. Here’s the idea on how it’ll go: 1: “Lord Galaxian! Your Brilliance, we have suffered a major loss-“ Galaxian: “I know. The four complexes have fallen, and we’re losing ground. Are the generals alive?” 1: “They fought valiantly, but were all overwhelmed. We can confirm for ourselves that the Rebels killed them-“ Galaxian (growing angry): “So why’d you run to me, and not continue fighting? You know that I have no plans for retreat or surrender, so why’d you think I’d expect for you to fight till the bitter end?” (Vaporizes the first minion with laser eyes) “COWARDS!” 2: “Please, give us another chance!” Galaxian: “I’ve given you this one chance, and I won’t give you any more!” (Impales the second minion with a flurry of swords) “FILTH!” 3: “If I capture Sarah Steele, will you be happy?” Galaxian (briefly calming down): “No.” (grabs the third minion, and folds them into a cube) “Because you won’t, traitors.” 4: “We can confirm that Sarah intends to come here herself, intending to kill you.” (flees in terror) Galaxian: “Thanks. You are relieved of duty-permanently.” 4: “Thanks.” (notices that the doors of the throne room are locked) (Galaxian telekinetically opens the door, only to close it on the last minion’s neck) Galaxian: “Because I’m killing you, you (suddenly begins shouting) INCOMPETENT, SPINELESS, FUCKS!” (Galaxian slams the door shut, killing the fourth minion)

Gabe’s being dragged into hell in the last entry is sweet, sweet poetic justice

Going to have to try harder

Some evil due being dragged to hell is number 1 while most of the others show terrifying gruesome deaths. Makes sense.

Thank God you didn't include "Goosh Goosh".

First anime that came to mind was Attack on Titan and first death was for sure Miche. Imagine being aupwr injured and no form of transportation having to fight off giant cannibals. That's a terrifying way to go

Giant Bunny massacre in Blood C

It's actually 01:30 as I watch this but jokes on you... these are more like a dream for me :D

I’ve personally seen all of these, and I mostly agree with these selections, but I cannot agree that Sword Art Online or Madoka are worse than Re: Zero. Subaru had to feel every inch of his body be devoured whereas Mami and the blonde mercenary (forgot the guy’s name, but I remember his weird soul consuming ability) died instantly. Those kinds of results are not nearly as terrifying as a slow death.

If Kengan Omega gets an Anime Adaptation after Ashura "A Split Second" In Kure Raian vs Alan Wu fight would make it on this list

I'm going to start watching this at 12am since this says it's nightmare fuel I might as well do it in the middle of the night. Will share results afterwards

Another has so many disturbing death scenes it can make the whole list
