(#13) The Victim From The 'Goosh Goosh' Scene' - 'Tokyo Tribes 2'
The infamous "goosh goosh" scene is something that you probably already know about if you're an anime fan - whether you like it or not. Long (and gruesome) story short, an enormous crime lord assaults a tiny man until he bleeds to death.

(#11) Shorter Wong - 'Banana Fish'
Despite being one of Ash Lynx's best friends, Shorter is forced to betray him when his sister's life is threatened. By placing his fate in the hands of some seriously unscrupulous people, he ends up being injected with a drug that not only causes him excruciating pain, but also controls his mind and makes him try to kill Ash's other close friend, Eiji - which forces Ash to shoot Shorter. It's an emotionally wrenching scene.

(#22) Pokkle - 'Hunter x Hunter'
Given that Hunter x Hunter is such a dark and violent series, it's not surprising that it made it twice on this list. Pokkle's death is so gruesome that many viewers couldn't help but squirm during this scene. After being captured by the Chimera Ants, Neferpitou probes Pokkle's brain while he's still alive in order to get information out of him. As if being picked at with giant needles isn't terrible enough, he is eventually butchered to death by Pig and served as food to the Chimera Ant Queen.

(#1) Maes Hughes
Maes Hughes is known for his passionate affection for his wife and young daughter, which is part of what makes his demise so upsetting. Not only do viewers know how powerfully impacted his loved ones will be, the homunculus who takes his life, Envy, transforms into his wife Gracia to make it that much more excruciating.

(#17) Zazan - 'Hunter x Hunter'
It's almost impossible to imagine the agony that the Chimera Ant Squadron Leader Zazan must have experienced as she was being burnt alive by Feitan's Rising Sun technique. He literally created a miniature sun, which incinerated her almost immediately - but not so immediately that she didn't have a chance to feel pain.

(#23) The Makimura Family - 'Devilman Crybaby'
Although most of the deaths in Devilman Crybaby are brutal, the demise of the entire Makimura family is particularly cruel. When Miki's younger brother, Taro, turns into a demon, the father finds him devouring his own mother. Although Taro isn't human anymore, his father can't bring himself to shoot him. Instead, he gets shot multiple times trying to protect his son from armed forces.
Miki's death is also shocking and tragic as she gets stabbed in the back by an angry mob. The following scene is even worse as we see her dismembered body being paraded on sticks. No one in this family deserved what they got.
