00:00 You wouldn't dare attack a queen!
00:03 Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 most brutal
00:09 over the top deaths in kids shows.
00:15 For this list we'll be looking at the wildest, most violent and unexpected deaths to come
00:20 from programs aimed primarily at children.
00:23 Since kids shows don't often kill off characters, especially permanently, we're also counting
00:28 cases where the deaths in question end up being temporary or at reverse in canon.
00:33 We will be delving into spoilers however, so consider this your warning.
00:38 Is there a death so shocking it made you wonder how it got past the censors?
00:43 Let us know in the comments down below!

00:59 Roku's Fiery Demise – Avatar The Last Airbender
01:10 Former Avatar Roku went out in a blaze.
01:13 A nasty volcanic eruption put the entire island he lived on in peril.
01:18 He used the powers of both earth and airbending, which he had mastered to try and hold the
01:22 volcano's lava back.
01:24 But it just wasn't enough.
01:26 He came into contact with toxic gas from the volcano, which badly wounded him.
01:39 To make matters worse, the Fire Lord Sozin, who had been helping him, eventually betrayed
01:44 him and fled.
01:45 That's not cool Sozin!
01:57 Ultimately Roku was left to die, engulfed within the full force of the volcano.
02:02 The gravid nature of his death hammered home to fans that this was not your average kid's
02:07 show.
02:08 9.
02:09 Rift Tamzin Explodes – Star Wars The Clone Wars
02:18 Another kid's show that pushed the envelope was Star Wars The Clone Wars.
02:22 It focused primarily on the events of the Clone Wars and hardly shied away from killing
02:27 characters.
02:28 Rift Tamzin was no exception.
02:34 The Kakardam warlord who looks like a freaking shark killed Yoz Kalina, the king of the Mon
02:40 Calamari.
02:41 Things culminated in a battle between him and Lee Char, the king's son.
02:46 The latter threw a knife into Rift's shoulder.
02:48 But if you thought this was how he went out, just wait, there's more.
02:52 The knife, which actually belonged to Rift, was also an explosive.
03:07 So when Lee shot straight at it, it went off and blew Tamzin to smithereens.
03:12 Ouch!
03:13 8.
03:14 Rex is Sent Through a Turblo Jet – Victorious Even inanimate objects aren't safe.
03:19 We know Rex wasn't technically alive, but Robby believed he lived and died, so we're
03:25 counting it.
03:26 Tory accidentally killed Rex when playing with a Turblo jet that ended up pulling him
03:30 in.
03:41 After seeing his puppet badly mangled, Robby was shaken up.
03:45 The gang went to the hospital and in an effort to try and get Robby to move on, they convinced
03:49 the doctor to make it look like Rex's flatline.
03:58 But after a change of heart, Tory miraculously brought him back to life.
04:03 We hope you can detect our sarcasm.
04:05 Jokes aside, Rex's death via Turblo jet was gruesome, even though it ended up being
04:11 a temporary demise.
04:12 That's a terrifying situation to be in, puppet or not.
04:26 7.
04:29 Stevie Shatters into Pieces – Wizards of Waverly Place
04:32 Alex's wizard friend Stevie broke the mold when she organized a revolt against the traditional
04:37 wizard competition.
04:46 Her motives were understandable, as she didn't want wizards to be forced to give up their
04:52 powers simply for losing.
04:54 But the length she was willing to go, like infiltrating Wizard City Hall and taking over
04:59 the power distributor to enact her plans made her a threat.
05:10 Luckily Alex had a plan of her own and duped Stevie before turning her to stone.
05:14 She then unceremoniously shattered into pieces after Max poked her.
05:29 The show's creator eventually stated that Stevie was repaired and rehabilitated.
05:33 Cool, but she still went splat.
05:36 There's only murders going on in this building.
05:39 Wait, sorry, wrong TV show starring Selena Gomez.
05:43 6.
05:44 Aku Estab – Samurai Jack
05:47 Aku basically spent most of his time tormenting the titular Samurai Jack.
05:51 So when he was finally defeated, it was a spectacle.
05:55 He had time to displace Jack, but after 50 long years, the hero was finally able to get
06:00 back and kill the villain once and for all.
06:13 His death absolutely delivered in terms of brutality.
06:16 Samurai Jack relentlessly sliced Aku with a ferocity we had never quite seen from him
06:21 before.
06:22 He didn't just slice and dice him up though.
06:24 When the demon tried to run, Jack leapt into the air and brought the katana blade through
06:29 his foe's head.
06:42 It gets even more hardcore.
06:45 Aku's soul or whatever was left then became trapped within the katana before his castle
06:50 exploded.
06:53 5.
06:56 Aunt Dahlia is Melted by Prune Juice – Goosebump
07:01 When siblings Tom and John were visited by their Aunt Dahlia, things got really weird.
07:07 The evil witch, yes you heard that right, fed them prune based treats.
07:18 Eating anything with prunes would be horrifying enough for many kids, but the real kicker
07:23 was that the food was aging the brothers into senior citizens.
07:36 The pair eventually regained their youth and ended things when Tom threw prune juice onto
07:40 Dahlia, aging her way past her expiration date.
07:43 Aunt Dahlia's disintegration was especially drawn out, and while it had its fair share
07:58 of corniness, we're willing to bet that her shrill scream gave a lot of children nightmares.
08:04 4.
08:05 Simon Withers to Dust – Infinity Train
08:16 In Infinity Train, the chaotic locomotive stood as the only obstacle between its passengers
08:21 and their freedom.
08:22 It seemed they could only get back home by discovering inner peace and completing challenges
08:26 while on the endless train.
08:28 But Simon Laurent was among those who had a different theory.
08:40 Believing that staying on the train as long as possible would be beneficial, he did all
08:44 sorts of criminal acts to remain on board.
08:46 But when he was attacked by a creature called a Goem, his soul was taken and his body withered
08:51 into dust in seconds.
09:00 Simon screamed, cried, and flailed for his life, but it was ultimately useless.
09:05 That's one brutal way to exit a ride.
09:08 3.
09:09 Toffee is Reduced to Goop – Star vs. the Forces of Evil
09:12 Don't let the name fool you.
09:15 Toffee was not sweet like candy.
09:23 He was an outright cruel villain that Star faced throughout the series.
09:26 She thought she had destroyed him once before, but he ended up just coming back.
09:31 That was kind of a recurring thing with Toffee.
09:33 He just didn't quit.
09:38 It'd be pretty admirable if he wasn't just such a menace.
09:48 But he finally died, and we mean it this time, when Star directed a lethal beam his way.
09:54 The blast was so powerful, it nearly turned them into a puddle of goop and melted flesh.
10:02 A giant pillar did the rest of the work, ending him in a definite manner.

10:13 Bubble Buddy Let Scooter Drown – SpongeBob Squarepants
10:23 Bubble Buddy might very well be one of the wildest characters of all of SpongeBob Squarepants.
10:28 Maybe we're exaggerating a little, but this act was cold-blooded.
10:32 When he was unable to hang out with his friends, SpongeBob created Bubble Buddy, who was actually
10:37 alive.
10:38 But this new pal quickly became a terror for residents of Bikini Bottom, especially Scooter.
10:43 SpongeBob and Bubble Buddy buried Scooter in the sand as part of their fun and games,
10:48 but after our favorite fry cook left, the high tide came in, and Scooter asked to be
10:52 freed.
10:53 Yet, Bubble Buddy did nothing but presumably watch as he drowned.
11:04 Like we said, Bubble Buddy is sentient.
11:06 He really just chose to do nothing.
11:08 Poor Scooter.

11:34 The Earth Queen Suffocates – The Legend of Korra
11:47 As a whole, The Legend of Korra really had no problem showing its audience some incredibly
11:51 gruesome things, and the Earth Queen's death was arguably one of the most disturbing.
11:56 After the Earth Queen got an unwelcome guest in the form of Zaheer, it became crystal clear
12:01 that we were on the verge of witnessing a huge power struggle.
12:10 When Zaheer entered the throne room, he took the Earth Queen's breath away.
12:14 Uh, no, literally.
12:16 He put his airbending skills to use, ripping the oxygen from her lungs and thus ultimately
12:21 ending her life.
12:22 Sure, she might not have been a saint, but this was next level brutal.
