00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, where today we'll be looking at the biggest bloodbaths in anime

00:09 history.

00:15 Number 10, Takamichi, Hakai and Mikey vs. Taiju, Tokyo Revengers.

00:25 Say what you will about Takamichi, but he sure knows how to take a punch. And yet, therein

00:30 lies the problem. Even with Hakai by his side, there's no way in hell they can stand up

00:35 to Taiju. But despite the odds, these two stubborn fools just won't stay down. Punch

00:41 after punch, fall after fall, they keep getting back up until the church is painted red around

00:47 them. At a certain point, it's hard to tell if these underdogs are dizzy from Taiju's

01:00 punches or the blood loss. Mikey eventually puts an end to things, but by then, Hakai

01:05 and Takamichi don't just need a break, they need a blood transfusion.

01:16 Number 9, Alucard vs. Luke, Hellsing Ultimate. Leave it to a vampire to make such a mess

01:23 of his meal. For what it's worth, Alucard did give Luke a chance to escape first. Granted,

01:29 that was only after he got rid of one of Luke's legs, but still. Once Alucard had his fun,

01:39 he fed the grovelling vampire to the wolves. Or in this case, the hellhounds. Luke's

01:44 screams prove that, as far as gory ends go, getting mauled by demonic dogs is pretty high

01:50 on the list. When it's all said and done, the poor guy is nothing more than a blood

02:00 stain on the ground. Ever the gentleman though, Alucard cleans up before moving on to his

02:06 next course.

02:14 Number 8, Imai vs. Akuya, Kengan Ashura. On definition alone, a deathmatch means someone's

02:22 leaving the ring in a body bag. That doesn't actually happen here, but Imai and Akuya come

02:27 pretty damn close. To start, these two punch so hard, they draw blood on impact alone.

02:38 But they don't just stop there. Instead, Imai and Akuya pull out all sorts of bites,

02:44 strangles and breaks too. Each one more gruesome than the last. It's a truly vicious affair,

02:58 not that we'd expect anything less from a duel between the king of stranglers and

03:03 the so-called executioner. The announcer had the right idea when he said that this isn't

03:13 even a match, it's a back and forth torture session.

03:17 Number 7, Jotaro vs. Kira, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Diamond is Unbreakable. Any time

03:31 Yoshikage Kira shows up, people tend to die, usually in explosive, splatter-heavy fashion.

03:37 But if this fight is any indication, Jotaro and Star Platinum are the exceptions. Although,

03:43 you probably couldn't tell based on the crime scene. The Joestar wanted to rough up Kira's

03:58 smug face, and by the time he's done, the serial killer doesn't have much of one left

04:02 at all. As if that's not bad enough, Kira later has to get rid of his own hand in order

04:07 to get away. With all the crimson carnage he left behind, it's a real miracle no one

04:12 had to be buried after this.

04:18 Number 6, Levi vs. Zeke, Attack on Titan. Captain Levi might be a neat freak, but he

04:24 sure wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty here. Although, to be fair, Zeke totally had

04:29 it coming. The prisoner turned a whole battalion of the Survey Corps into Titans, leaving Levi

04:35 alone, outnumbered, and seriously itching for a fight. What Zeke failed to realise is

04:48 just how much Levi hates losing. The captain seriously didn't hesitate staining his gear

04:54 red to catch up to the convict, and that's when the real fireworks began. After burning

05:04 the crook up from the inside with thunder spears, Levi personally pried Zeke's crispy

05:09 carcass out of the beast titan. Yep, it's as gross as it sounds.

05:19 Number 5, Eivor vs. Angels, Rebuild of Evangelion series. As it turns out, the worst part of

05:34 protecting Earth from heavenly threats isn't the fighting, it's the clean up. Sure, these

05:39 invaders are angels, but they bleed the same as anyone else. The only difference is that,

05:44 since they're certifiably massive, they have a lot more of it. And we do mean a lot.

05:55 Since the angels have a nasty habit of imploding when they're defeated, each victory is christened

06:00 with a downpour of angelic innards. Sometimes, it's enough to dye entire oceans, and even

06:05 flood cities too. It probably wasn't their intention, but one way or another, these angels

06:11 left their mark on the world.

06:22 Number 4, Slayers vs. Daki and Gyutaro, Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba. It's no hyperbole

06:28 to say that heads roll in this fight, as demons, the only way to kill Daki and Gyutaro is to

06:34 slice off their skulls at the same time. The Slayers, however, are much easier to take

06:39 down. As if to prove it, the demonic siblings pick apart the heroes like they're broken

06:48 action figures. Tengen loses his hand, Inosuke's stabbed through the stomach, and Tanjiro and

06:54 Zenitsu are just hanging on for dear life.

07:03 But after one hell of a last stand, it's the two demon's heads that end up on the

07:07 chopping block. Still, it's really saying something when a pair of decapitated craniums

07:12 aren't even the grisliest part of the scene.

07:24 Number 3, Denji vs. the Eternity Devil, Chainsaw Man. When a nasty curse traps him and his

07:40 squad in a time-slipped hotel, Denji decides to solve things with his fists. Or should

07:46 we say, his chainsaws. While the Eternity Devil can theoretically live forever, Denji

07:51 realises it can still feel pain. So, he starts sawing, and doesn't stop. He saws and saws

07:58 and saws, until he's practically swimming in a sea of devil guts. And then he saws some

08:03 more. The blood refuels Denji, and the devil's flesh automatically regenerates, creating

08:11 an endless cycle of gruesome butchery. If the Eternity Devil hadn't given up his heart

08:16 when he did, Denji would still be showering in blood to this day.

08:29 Number 2, The Band of the Hawk vs. the Apostles, Berserk. Don't be mistaken, this isn't

08:36 really a fight, it's a massacre. After being betrayed by their former leader Griffith,

08:41 the Band of the Hawk are branded as sacrifices for a merciless blood ritual. From there,

08:56 some of the main cast is devoured in some of the most vile, disgusting and blood-soaked

09:01 ways imaginable, and their captain, Guts, has to watch it all. He tries to save some

09:13 of them, but all it does is tint his skin scarlet. By the time it's over, you can

09:17 barely see Guts beneath all the remains. Suffice it to say, Griffith's betrayal left Guts

09:23 seeing red in more than a few ways.

09:46 Number 1, Koyomi vs. Kiss Shot, Kizumonogatari Part 3, Reiketsu. In a showdown that has to

09:59 be seen to be fully believed, this brawl doesn't stop after one death, or two, or even three.

10:05 These vampires just won't die, and it's not for a lack of trying. On the contrary,

10:10 Koyomi and Kiss Shot spend an entire uninterrupted scene doing nothing more but tearing off each

10:15 other's heads. But every time, they immediately heal, and the fight goes on. It's graphic

10:27 and over-the-top to the point of comedy. For reference, there's more blood spurts in

10:31 this one fight than the rest of the film series combined, and it's not even close. Talk

10:36 about having skin in the game. What's the grossest throwdown you've ever seen? If
