History NightmareFuel / AkameGaKill

* Imagine that you are a normal citizen walking in the streets of the Capital, then, in a dark alley, you find a very tall and scary man with a [[SlasherSmile creepy grin]] that captures you and says that he only wants to talk a bit, and before you can say a word, he cuts your head with one of his blades. That's pretty much the fate of Zank the Beheader victims.
* Seryu: while at first coming off as a sweet, bubbly KnightInShiningArmor, by the time she dies, she's proven herself to be the most brutal, insane psychopath in a setting ''full'' of psychopaths... until the introduction of Wild Hunt in the manga, and with the possible exception of her leader and idol, Esdeath.

* The Empire's torture chamber is one of the most disturbing scenes in the whole series: people being brutalized in the most horrible and unimaginable ways while screaming in agony. One of the torture methods, a cube of hot water used to kill the prisoners in a very painful and slow way, is then cooled down by Esdeath, not to lighten the victims suffering, but to extend it! For a reason, this scene was adapted in one of the omakes of the anime and even {{played for laughs}}.

* Honest's final fate in the last chapter: kicked in the gut, disemboweled, and thrown off the balcony by Leone, then carved up like a holiday roast by the rebels; [[IncrediblyLamePun to be perfectly honest]], the jerk had it coming.

*** By the end of the manga, Tatsumi was [[BalefulPolymorph fully transformed into a dragon Danger Beast.]] It's only through a stroke of fortunate circumstances that he survives his demand of a MercyKill by Akame and retains his sentience, allowing for a HappilyEverAfter with a reawakened Mine - but he's still permanently [[AndIMustScream a dragon with no way to change it back]].

* Oh boy where do we begin, or rather, how do we begin the first story:

* Night Raid, despite being the good guys of the series, can be very scary in some moments; by example, Sheele is a sweet, clumsy girl in her "free time", but when she is doing her job, a merciless personality emerges and kills everyone of her objectives.

** Her [[NightmareFace expressions]] throught her fights aren't much better either...

* Imagine that you are a normal citizen walking in the streets of the Capital, then, in a dark alley, you find a very tall and scary man with a [[SlasherSmile creepy grin]] that capture you and say that he only wants to talk a bit, and before you can say a word, he cut your head with one of his blades. That's pretty much the fate of Zank the Beheader victims.

* Sheele's death is anything but pretty: first, Koro rips her in half, and after she struggles a bit to give time to Mine to escape, Koro finally opens his mouth and [[EatenAlive eats her]], while not wasting time to reveal his enormous [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily file of teeth.]] To make things worse, in the anime we can also hear the sound Koro makes when he chews her. Seryu's laugh at the end of the battle doesn't help this at all.

* [[NauseaFuel Chapter 23.5]]. Sadistic doesn't even ''begin'' to describe the people who bought those girls, or [[FateWorseThanDeath what they did]].
