Sex Is Violence/Anime and Manga

She's really... enjoying herself...

Examples of Sex Is Violence in Anime and Manga include:

A-E

• Air Gear: Shalott and Arthur's battle with Agito featured Albert in a S&M type relationship with Shalott and both of them getting aroused and excited while beating up Agito and at the thought of killing him. One scene worth mentioning was the one where Arthur caressed the back of Agito's head while pelvic thrusting against him and nibbling on his ear before stabbing him. Another scene worth mentioning was the one where Shalott kicked Agito to the ground before straddling him and threatening to tear out his teeth before saying he could "have a lick" if he wants.
• Arthur of Air Gear is Too Kinky to Torture and really enjoyed it if Agito managed to hit him during their fight. This is to the point where he nibbled on Agito's ear, dry humped him, and started breathing really heavily as he was stabbing Agito, almost like he was getting off from the whole thing.
• A half-human half-spider hybrid appears in the first OVA of Angel's Feather. When he appears he wraps Shou up in his web, caresses him, gets close to his face, sticks his finger in his mouth which causes Shou to blush, and licks him before trying to murder him by penetrating his body with his pincher.
• The first segment of The Animatrix, Final Flight of the Osiris, begins with a blatantly sexual (and really cool) fight scene between a man and a woman. Turns out it's all in good fun.
• Ladd and Lua's relationship in Baccano! is filled to the brim with this: He's a shameless Ax Crazy Psycho for Hire that expresses love by telling you that he'll Kill You Last, and she's a disturbingly serene, probably suicidal devotee longing for the day that he sneaks up behind her and murders her. It's a match made in a sadomasochist's Heaven.
• Beelzebub: Yolda aims to kill Oga one minute, then moves to kiss him the next. She also renders Aoi unconscious by caressing her cheek.
• Episode 20 of Black Butler features Sebastian chained to the wall and being whipped by an angel decked out in S&M gear and describing the excruciating sweetness of the pain being inflicted upon him in a seductive tone.
  • Grelle Sutcliffe is a chainsaw-wielding transsexual psychopath that is very forward about her attraction to Sebastian, within the same five minutes talking about both wanting to cut him into pieces and bear his child.
• Creed and Train in Black Cat - most notably in the anime. Creed is very obviously a masochist Stalker with a Crush when it comes to Train (though he can also be a sadist when it comes to dealing with others). Train, on the other hand, is absolutely disgusted with how Creed seems to keep getting a boner when he beats him up. In one scene, Train is particularly disturbed when, after fighting, Train ends up in a rather compromising position on top of Creed. Creed acts like he had an orgasm, even creepily calling out, "Oh Train, you're the best!" And then there's the time when Creed begs for Train to shoot him, because once he's shot him, they'll "be bonded forever."
  • Kyoko also has shades of this, though moreso in the manga.
• In Black Cat, let's just say that Creed... really likes being hurt and beat up by Train (especially while they're fighting). One round of fisticuffs between them quickly turns creepy when Train ends up in a compromising position on top of Creed, who breathlessly cries out that Train is "the best". Pretty sure he got off from that.
• Black Lagoon:
  • This trope pretty much sums up Hansel and Gretel's awful backstory.
  • Revy tends to enjoy gunfighting a BIT too much. "Dance the jitterbug" indeed.
• Depraved Bisexual Shira from Blade of the Immortal doesn't care what gender his victims are, so long as he can get his kicks from them. And unfortunately, his fantasies are really perverted, twisted, and violent (literally raping people while he cuts them up). In earlier chapters, he outright explains that he always needs someone to keep "the part down there" happy. And then there's the newest chapter containing him, where he apparently kidnapped a young boy (Renzo), forcing him to take care of him, and rapes him.
• In Bleach one of Ichigo's earlier enemies, the hollow called Shrieker, was a serial killer who stabbed a young mother to death and got off on it. His greatest regret is being killed before being able to do the same to her child, Yuichi Shibata.
  • Grand Fisher. His power is that he can create a lure based on the memories of somebody or assume the form of his past victims in order to prevent someone from attacking him while he kills him. Not only does he do this with Ichigo's mother, but he also seems to get off on it.
  • Implied to be the case for Kenpachi.
• Canaan: It certainly is for Liang Qi.
• The magnificient fight between Casshern and Sophitia in Episode 4 of Casshern Sins is quite obviously this.
• D.Gray-man has Tyki Mikk acting rather excited at the thought of killing Allen. Some notable scenes include Tyki "killing" Allen (which resembled a sort of "violation," with Tyki sticking his hand into Allen), the suggestive dialogue with Tyki telling Allen, "Don't be so cold, boy. An Exorcist made a Noah strip down to his underwear. Was that the first time you did it? Do you think it was destiny for it to be us?" and Tyki seeming miffed when Allen tells him that he'd done it to many people before. During their fight later, there's another Does This Remind You of Anything? moment of this nature with Tyki telling Allen, "This is giving me the thrills. I'll break you, one more time, with this hand!"
• Genkaku towards Nagi in Deadman Wonderland. What with Genkaku getting turned on by Nagi killing, trying desperately to get Nagi to join the Undertakers, and getting jealous and angry at Karako for giving Nagi a Cooldown Hug. Not to mention that he tells Nagi that what he says is "cute", and that Nagi's hand has become very cute too (after Nagi's hand was cut off by Hibana) and licking the blood off of Nagi's stump of an arm. Genkaku's obsession with Nagi is eventually shown outright with Genkaku actually coming out and telling Nagi he "loved him" before attempting to kill him.
  • The author ended up killing off both Genkaku and Nagi. Later, Mockingbird was introduced, who has a similar sort of Blood Lust and kinky way of flirting and fighting with Ganta and Senji.
  • Even before then there was Minatsuki. When she first revealed her psychopathic personality to Ganta, she proclaimed that she would kill him, cut up his body, then "cum in [his] formaldehyde".
• Genkaku from Deadman Wonderland is shown getting really turned on when he watches Nagi crush some poor sap's skull.
• While Durarara!!'s Vorona is normally a straight-up Blood Knight, her encounter with Shizuo Heiwajima is, uh, special. The rise she gets from facing him is described as both like the feeling one gets when one has a continental missile pointed at their face and straight-up sexual arousal.
• The End of Evangelion has a... rather unsettling variation on this trope involving the MP Evas.^[1]

F-J

• Gauron towards Sousuke in Full Metal Panic!. Made especially clear in the novels, where he apparently had some very vile fantasies during and after their fight of killing Sousuke and raping his corpse. And the way he "consummates" their relationship is by goading Sousuke into killing him. Yeah, apparently scoring a home run with him involves death.
  • And then there's the evil female scientist from the first arc (in Khanka), who has a... thing for Asphyxiation. As further shown in the novels, it's suggested that she actually wants to make Gauron angry, so that he'll hurt her and choke her. Apparently she gets off on being abused by him as much as he does doing that to her.
  • Gauron is also shown to get sexual arousal from violently cutting up and killing people and breaking their spirits.
• In Full Metal Panic!, apparently Gauron's idea of consummating his love for Sousuke is to have a bloody double suicide - namely, in the form of their Huge Mechas beating each other up and grappling each other and having his self destruct. Not to mention that in the novels, it's made pretty clear that, during Gauron's fight with Sousuke in Khanka, Gauron was getting off on the idea of violently killing Sousuke and then raping his dead body. And in case the anime didn't make it blatant enough, the manga has him yelling out while he's fighting Sousuke, "Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! Ah, what a rush!"
• In Fullmetal Alchemist, the amusing Serial Killer Barry the Chopper will reference physical attraction in terms of how much he wants to chop someone up. For example, in a scene where he is telling the heroes about the hommunculi, he references a great desire to do this to Lust, but expresses disinterest in Envy who he describes as "too stringy".
• GetBackers has the fighting between Takuma Fudou and Ban. Don't say that Fudou's "throbbing desire" to force Ban to "give his body to him" isn't an allegory for rape.
• Takuma Fudou from GetBackers. His greatest desire is for Ban to "give his body to him," "meet his desires," "quench his thirst" and "let him enjoy himself" - which pretty much means getting ripped apart by Fudou as they fight. But Fudou shows numerous times that he doesn't get pleasure simply from sadistically cutting up Ban - he actually likes it more when Ban cuts him up and puts up a fight as well. He also shows his masochistic tendencies when he mentions that he kept his own rotting arm with him, reminding himself of what Ban did to him, which gave him "incredible chills rising up throughout his body." As well as an instance where, when Ban wasn't putting up enough of a fight, Fudou started cutting himself up on the chest, screaming at Ban to "make him bleed" and "push him to the edge."
• Fasalina from Gun X Sword whenever attacking inside her Dahlia of Wednesday, usually inserts some orgasmic sounds alongside some drawn out words. All while pole-dancing. Well, she is a former prostitute...
• In Gunnm, Galley begins to take pleasure in combat and killing when she's employed by Tiphares. In her own words she wants "More and more, until everything goes all white!"
• Hajime no Ippo: Bryan Hawk. He pretty much only cares about sex and violence. If he can't get enough violence, he needs sex to compensate for it. It's also implied that he gets sexually aroused from beating up his opponents (or at least Takamura).
• Bryan Hawk from Hajime no Ippo seemingly gets sexual pleasure when he fights. After severely beating down Takamura, he remarks that he's about to cum.
• Alucard of Hellsing enjoys doing something of the sort with all his victims/enemies. Special mention goes to his "battle" with Rip Van Winkle. It didn't help that in the manga, it's drawn pretty much exactly like a hentai scene, down to the ridiculously intense blush on Rip's cheeks when Alucard drinks her blood. And her constant wriggling and gasping under his hands as he slowly inserts her musket through her body.
  • And there's also Jan Valentine wanting to rape, kill and rape Integra again (in that order).
  • Alucard's relationship with Integra can also be interpreted as this. He is excited by her resolve and will for battle, and he always impales his victims when she watches, once even asking if it 'excited' her.
• Jan Valentine of Hellsing declares that he has a hard-on while killing Hellsing personnel. It's hard not to laugh.
  • For that matter, Alucard seems to love fighting anything that gives him a challenge... maybe he enjoys it a little too much....
  • There's also the Major, who, in his infamous speech, calls various sights one might see in a war as "arousing".
• Highschool of the Dead: For Saeko, anyway. "I'm getting wet", anyone?
• House of Five Leaves: In the beginning of the story you never know if Yaichi is going to kill Masa... or kiss him.
• Hisoka of Hunter X Hunter is impatiently waiting for Gon and Killua to become strong enough for them to be an enjoyable challenge in a fight at the end of which he would kill them. He also seems to get quite aroused about the whole thing too. His wording of how he can't wait to "pluck the fruit that hasn't ripened yet" doesn't help either.
  • This was made explicitly sexual with a Speech Bubble Censoring incident where, while talking to the two boys, the speech bubble hiding Hisoka's modesty shifts upwards between panels.
• Ikki Tousen comments on how the fighters find fighting erotic. Their battles will overlap with foreplay.
• Jakotsu in Inuyasha.^[context?]

K-O

• Katekyo Hitman Reborn: Glo Xinia had quite a bit of this going on with Chrome. Considering how during his fight with Chrome he grabbed her hard enough to cause her pain, kept getting in her face, and told her things like: "You seem to like being touched by men. Your blushing cannot betray your desires." "Give me MORE!" (after hearing her screams of pain) and "It's time to eat... that ring and you!" It's hinted he might've done something to her had Mukuro not shown up, allowing her time to escape. Also, when fighting Mukuro he comes out with this line: "Is that girl so precious to you? Then I'm going to take my share of such a precious girl right before your eyes. This could just be the best situation, don't you think? My appetite for that girl just keeps getting better!" and "Don't worry Chrome, I will take good care of you for MUKURO TO SEE!"
  • Depraved Homosexual Lussuria towards Ryohei. It starts getting ever so slightly disturbing when he's hitting on jail bait, and is insinuated to have necrophiliac tendencies as well. In his words his favorite bodies are the "wasted, cold, unmoving" ones. Unfortunately, Ryohei goes topless during his fight against Lussuria and this only serves to make Lussuria his hardcore fanboy. In fact, Lussuria actually openly ogles Ryohei's muscular physique and refers to his body as "pretty nice", says that he's "just his type" and promptly decides to take him home and make him a part of his "collection" after he's kicked the shit out of him.
  • And Mukuro's fight with Tsuna was pretty much equal parts beating him up, trying to possess his body, and dry humping him from behind.
• Belphegor of Katekyo Hitman Reborn made some rather...orgasmic noises during his fight with Gokudera. And towards the end of their fight when both were trying to steal the others ring half's, Belphegor straddles Gokudera and all the struggling they're doing makes it look like they're having sex or that Bel is raping Gokudera.
• In episode 185 of Keroro Gunso while Dororo was in a giant robot fight with Robobo, of the Shurara Corps. For the finally blow, he cuts Robobo in half. Right before blowing up, he looks incredibly happy, and says "It feels GOOD!". And the icing on the cake is when Dororo bows his head and states that he's happy to have found a strong opponent.
• Legend of the Blue Wolves features this with Captain Continental's brutal rape of Jonathan.
• The monstrous rapist Captain Continental of Legend of the Blue Wolves gets aroused at the thought of both raping and breaking people. It's also heavily implied that he got turned on while fighting Jonathan.
• Let Dai: In the first few volumes, Dai and and Jaehee spend as much time hurting each other as they do treating each other romantically. Dai seems to be under the illusion that severely beating Jaehee, tying him to train tracks and then stealing his wallet means he loves him. Jaehee doesn't exactly agree.
• Tsukuyomi of Mahou Sensei Negima. Whenever she fights Setsuna, the bloodlust is literal.
  • There's also her line which suggests sexual pleasure that she has at the thought of fighting Negi after witnessing his new Badass state. "How utterly delicious he must be!" (she says with her tongue out, while blushing, and a heart in her speech bubble)
• Basically any time that Tsukuyomi (pictured) ends up dueling Setsuna in Mahou Sensei Negima. Their latest^[when?] fight featured Tsukuyomi panting, blushing and... drooling. While talking about how she was losing control and asking Setsuna to fight harder and 'satisfy' her. Not many were surprised when the battle climaxed with her straddling Setsuna and slowly slicing her clothing off while basically openly declaring intent to rape.
  • Chapter 293 has her getting all hot and bothered during a fight with Negi; the poor lad was rather unnerved by it.
    • Who wouldn't? Just look at that face.
• In Mirai Nikki immediately after Yuno and Yukki have sex Yuno grabs her axe and pursues Yukki with it while both are still in their underwear.
• Like the above example, Hidan from Naruto is a bit like this as well. His whole religion (Jashin) is about worshipping his god by causing pain to himself. His jutsu is an extension of that, ingesting another person's blood and then injuring himself to injure the other person. His dialogue and expressions really accurately show you how much he's getting off on the pain. It's made even more obvious in the anime.
• Hidan from Naruto is implied to have an orgasm every time he finishes his opponent off during his sadomasochistic stabbing ritual.
• One Piece: Sadi-Chan deserves an honorable mention, getting all sorts of pleasure from screams.

P-T

• In one scene Paprika is held captive in her dream by her Stalker with a Crush Osanai. Some brief fondling occurs and then Osanai pushes his hand under her skin which causes Paprika a lot of pain and withdraws Chiba the naked secret-identity of Paprika, but before further molesting can take place his boss tries to kill Paprika/Chiba by wrapping her in his vines and attempts to suffocate her by sticking the vines down her throat.
• Peacemaker Kurogane: The old merchant Yamatoya who picked up Suzu off the street entirely for the purpose of raping him meets his end when Suzu brutally slaughters him in revenge for being raped right after Yamatoya spent a few moments fondling him.
• Occurs several times in Perfect Blue like when Mima is raped at a club and when she attacks a guy, stabbing him to death and the scene switches back and forth between that scene and another scene where she's getting photographed naked. And at the end she's stripped naked and almost raped and killed by Me-Mania but Mima knocks him out by slamming a hammer into the side of his head.
• Sakura Gari features this with Katsuragi's rape and torture of Masataka.
• Karasuba from Sekirei likes combat so much she has to kill someone to lose steam and even declares she's "On fire" to her Ashikabi.
• Medusa and Stein's fight in Soul Eater. Stein's the one who gets called a sadist, but both are clearly enjoying themselves to the point of this trope. Doesn't help that there's a Living Weapon involved.
  • In the manga, the longer Giriko's last fight goes on with Maka, the more it descends into this. It gets to the point that you could replace "chainsaw" with "penis" and it would make just as much sense. He threatens to rape her at one point only to remember that he does not have a penis anymore.
• This is a major theme in Speed Grapher. All of the euphorics abilities to kill are derived from their sexual fetishes. Understandable, as the series is a criticism of fetishism and sexual freedom.
• Tatsumi Saiga from Speed Grapher worked as a war photographer. In one flashback he gets a hard-on when he's taking pictures of dying men during a battle. One soldier even notices and calls him a pervert.
• Madoka Kei from Star Driver. Even when you consider that it involves playing around with awesome giant robots in a Scenery Porn-eriffic alternate reality, she enjoys Cybody combat way too much. Episode 21 nearly took it Up to Eleven.
• Trigun: The end of the first Trigun manga dares you to see Knives 'rebirth' scene and not to think of anything involving gynecology or rape. It actually seems to involve Death by Childbirth. Then it gets worse when Knives grabs Vash and forces him to deploy his Angel Arm. While standing nude behind him and obviously enjoying his pain very, very much — which, by the way, isn't the only time he goes full frontal. It's even more disturbing when you know that men who get raped anally by other men get an erection. And that it's his twin brother, of course.

U-Z

• The yaoi manga Under Grand Hotel features this, as things like Prison Rape are common. The most notable one would have to be Swordfish raping his lover Sen to almost death.
  • And in the first few scenes we see Lain Brody he gives Sen a blowjob, strips him, drugs him and outright molests him as he's drugged (including telling him "No way in hell am I letting Swordfish kill you. Because he doesn't love you. I'm the only one that can kill you."), rapes him with a mop handle, ties him up and hides him in a dryer. And when Swordfish finds Sen he gives him CPR. Lain responds to this by stabbing Fish in the arm with a fork and tries to stab him again while screaming at him, "Get off of Sen! He belongs to me!" Immediately after that Lain is shot and killed by security guards.
• The anime version of Witchblade. No, really.^[context?]
• A central theme of the Witchblade anime series. As stated outright by the show's creators, the point isn't "sex and violence" so much as "sex is violence."
• There's lots of this in Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest. Pretty much everything that comes out of Ryuuko's mouth has to do with this trope. Kuroda takes a break from blowing up stuff (and students) to try to rape the meganekko with his gun. Fortunately, Inugami interrupts him. And now Haguro decides to up his freakiness by beating up Chiba and then kissing him, taking that opportunity to tear out his tongue, and then rape him. All because Inugami (whom Haguro is obsessed with) happened to run into him in the street earlier. Also, Haguro topped himself after Aoshika got released from her chains, with him fighting Inugami he got to slice two of Inugami's fingers off, then Haguro eats them and gets a boner for managing to injure Inugami.

• CLAMP's fond of it, especially in X 1999, when Fuuma licks Kamui's neck, stabs, then kills their sister. And you know, Seishirou/Subaru, the whole of Seishirou/Subaru. See also RG Veda.
• Yami Marik from Yu-Gi-Oh! is a bit like this - having been created by the normal Marik as a mechanism to cope with the pain of getting these ancient egyptian hieroglyphs carved into his back, Yami Marik is a masochist who likes to set up Shadow Games that cause as much pain as possible. It's implied that he gets off on it to a degree, and even worse, that he assumes his opponants are as well...

1. ↑ For those who really want to know, they stab themselves in their most vital organ (their S2 engines) under the influence of Rei/Lilith...while climaxing.
