00:00 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're going to be counting down our picks for the most
00:12 painful below-the-belt shots in anime.
00:23 Number 20 write in the Dragon Balls
00:26 Dragon Ball Z Super Android 13 Over the years, Goku's fought all kinds of
00:31 villains including space tyrants, multiversal threats, literal gods, and more.
00:37 But none of them have hurt him quite as bad as Android 13.
00:44 During their scuffle, a poorly timed attack leaves Goku's valuables wide open.
00:49 And the fiend doesn't waste the opportunity.
00:52 To put it lightly, Goku won't be summoning Shenron with these balls any time soon.
01:01 In fact, the blow hurt so bad, it knocked him completely out of Super Saiyan.
01:06 After a wound like that, it's just amazing Goku was able to have a second kid at all.
01:16 Number 19 cut above, or below, the rest.
01:19 Sodor Online Alternative Gun Gale Online
01:23 This may be an online virtual reality game, but Len isn't here to play around.
01:27 No, she's willing to do anything to lead her team to victory.
01:32 Even if it means going for the unmentionables.
01:38 All's fair, right?
01:39 It feels especially mean-spirited because Len had a gun right there, and she clearly
01:44 knew how to use it.
01:45 But instead of taking the merciful route, she decided to slide right underneath her
01:50 final opponent, bringing her knife with her.
01:56 His pained reaction says it all.
01:59 Video game or not, that's a lethal blow.
02:09 Number 18 cutting edge service Black Lagoon - Roberta's Blood Trail
02:14 Don't let the getup fool you.
02:16 Fabiola is no ordinary maid.
02:19 Sadly for this bar thug, he realises that a moment too late, and it ends up costing
02:24 him his pride, his reputation, and his manhood.
02:32 He only lowers his guard for a second, but that's all Fabiola needs to reveal the sharp
02:37 blade in the heel of her boot.
02:40 And then, she kicks hard, right in his nether region.
02:47 Just the thought of it is enough to make anyone squirm, especially taking into account the
02:52 pool of blood her handiwork leaves behind.
02:55 Clearly they don't call this season "Blood Trail" for nothing.
03:03 Number 17 Samurai Sack Splitter - Rurouni Kenshin
03:11 Yahiko trained long and hard for the moment he would finally be strong enough to protect
03:16 those he cared about.
03:17 And now, after all that work, he's officially ready to unveil his special technique.
03:23 There's no need to mince words, it's a crotch shot, plain and simple.
03:34 Such a low blow isn't exactly befitting of an honourable swordsman, but it gets the job
03:39 done either way.
03:40 Yahiko really knows how to end a fight, that's all we're saying.
03:44 After all, something tells us the evil Gohei won't be bothering anyone ever again.
03:49 At least not if he values his privates.
03:57 Number 16 Spread Your Legs and Fly - The Rising of the Shield Hero
04:03 After this, Motoyasu probably wishes he were the shield hero, or at least one that comes
04:09 with some armour.
04:16 Then again, it's hard to say if anything would have protected him from Filo's wrath.
04:20 Fed up with Motoyasu's insults, the bird monster took it upon herself to kick the spear
04:26 hero right in his personal spear.
04:36 This was not a warning shot either, no.
04:38 The force of it sent Motoyasu flying through the air to infinity and beyond.
04:43 His team calls for a healer, but there is no magic in the entire world capable of mending
04:49 this.
05:01 Number 15 Drop Like A Stone - Dr. Stone
05:05 In this semi-final match of the Grand Bout, Gen's conniving gives Chrome a free 60-second
05:11 reprieve.
05:17 But Chrome doesn't need that long to beat Magma.
05:20 Actually, he only needs one hit.
05:22 Since Magma was on fire, Chrome generously decided to give him a little nudge towards
05:28 the water.
05:32 Although given the placement, Magma will probably be feeling this nudge for days to come, arguably
05:38 more so than the actual burns.
05:40 Still, Chrome's quick thinking might have saved Magma's life.
05:44 His cojones, though?
05:46 Those are a different story, one with a much less happy ending.
05:56 Number 14 Two In One - One Piece
06:00 Just because you can split yourself in two doesn't necessarily mean you should.
06:05 Buggy had to learn that lesson the hard way.
06:07 When he set his torso after Nami, all he did was leave his lower half - including his junk
06:13 - wide open for a counterattack.
06:20 And unfortunately for the clown, Luffy's never been one to pass up an easy win.
06:25 Every part of Buggy feels the pain of Luffy's pelvic punch.
06:29 As a result, it doesn't just save Nami, it turns the villain into a blubbering mess.
06:37 Later, Luffy claims he's Buggy's real opponent.
06:42 But from where we're standing, this fight is already over.
06:50 Number 13 Climb Kick Succulent Succulents - Overlord
06:55 All things considered, this mission is pretty straightforward.
06:59 Locate the base, find Succulent, and take him into custody.
07:13 But ever the show-off, Climb decided to have a little bit of fun first.
07:17 He charges the eight-finger leader with his uber-powerful ability release.
07:22 But that's just a decoy.
07:24 Once he's made the opening, Climb finishes this scuffle with a critical hit to the nads.
07:34 If Succulent's reaction doesn't make you wince, the bone-crushing sound effects definitely
07:39 will.
07:40 The villain had to be captured alive, but considering what he just went through, that's
07:44 more of a punishment than a mercy.
07:49 Number 12 Ichigo Goes Hollow Between The Legs - Bleach
07:54 While we're not saying that Ichigo couldn't do with some improvement when it comes to
07:58 speaking to the ladies in his life, this particular lesson in etiquette was way more painful than
08:03 it had to be, mostly due to Nell landing a point-blank blow straight to the family jewels.
08:14 While berating him for not discussing Orihime's weight with more subtlety, the iron car's
08:19 lesson is slightly dampened due to the fact that Ichigo, properly spent the whole conversation
08:25 focused on how his personal sanpakuto, might now have a dent in it.
08:40 Number 11 Zatch Gets It In The Bells - Zatch Bell
08:44 Just goes to show that even a pint-sized mamuro of unbelievable power like Zatch isn't
08:49 that different from us regular folk.
08:52 And by that we mean a solid kick to the balls still leaves him in absolute agony.
08:57 However, in this instance, the pain of getting his magical beads shattered, courtesy of Brago,
09:03 just about saved his life.
09:10 If not for that timely intervention, Zatch could have been skewered by Maestro.
09:15 Thankfully, his frenemy was there to block the attack with his foot, which just happened
09:20 to be on an upward trajectory that coincided with Golden Gash's bells.
09:26 Ding ding.
09:28 Number 10 Gin Loses His Tama - Gin Tama
09:32 Only in this show could you have a tag team wrestling match that results in our hero desperately
09:38 trying to magically reattach his balls.
09:40 Never change, oh sweet silver soul.
09:43 Taking on love rival Doman, for the most part Gintoki looks all set to win his fight by
09:49 a landslide, only to accidentally fall into Gettomaru's massive spiked club.
09:59 As a result, his chance at having a family are left rolling all over the ring.
10:04 Which leads the way to Doman and Seimei engaging in a mystical showdown, where they repeatedly
10:10 use Gintoki's pride and joy.
10:19 This one hurts to watch.
10:26 Number 9 Sagara Grinds Some Nut Powder - Full Metal Panic For Mofu
10:31 For those of you that looked at the original military action series and thought, "Give
10:36 me more of that sweet high school romantic comedy," welcome to Nirvana.
10:49 Not only is this a hilarious addition to FMP's content catalogue, but also has this delightful
10:55 scene.
10:56 Remember how someone like Sagara would best a karate master?
10:59 Simple, toss a grenade at him, knock him down to the floor, and repeatedly blast his yam
11:04 bag until it's nothing but dust.
11:10 Number 8 Lucy's Great Escape - Fairy Tail
11:17 There's no better tactic for escaping imprisonment than nailing the jailer in his nutmegs and
11:23 making a clean getaway.
11:25 In this instance, Lucy had to try a lot harder than most, given how she was being held captive
11:30 by none other than Phantom Lord's leader, Hosei.
11:33 Though the result still ended up turning out the same.
11:45 Using the old "I gotta pee" trope, Lucy managed to outwit the creepy geezer by agreeing
11:51 to do it in a bucket.
11:57 The moment he turned around, wham.
11:59 Who needs magic when you've got leg day?
12:06 Number 7 My Hero Clackadamia - My Hero Academia
12:11 Deku may be used to breaking bones thanks to the force of his own quirk, but this might
12:16 be the most devastating injury yet - a potent strike to the scrotum, courtesy of a brat
12:22 with issues named Coda.
12:27 While the two would later reconcile down the line, there's no getting away from just
12:32 how devastating this initial encounter was.
12:41 Do you have anything left to say, young man?
12:44 Just be thankful that Uraraka didn't send you hurtling into space for hurting a future
12:48 hubby.
12:49 Number 6 Grabbing Frankie by the Nuts and Bolts - One Piece
12:53 Well, we can think of worse ways to convince a guy to join a pirate crew.
13:02 After the events of Eni's Lobby, Frankie is left with no choice but to join the Straw
13:06 Hats on their whirlwind adventures, now that he's got a bounty.
13:10 Of course, it wasn't easy to win him over, though thankfully Robin had the obvious solution
13:15 - use her devil fruit to create a pair of hands that hold his Robo-Balls in a vice grip
13:21 until he submits.
13:32 This probably looked a lot more different in Frankie's head when he imagined Miss
13:36 Sundae getting a handful of his processing power.
13:44 Number 5 Hoka Gonads Destroyed - Naruto Shippuden
13:48 Jeez, where was this kid when the fourth great ninja war was going down?
13:53 He straight up crunched Naruto's fox cubs in a single devastating punch before waltzing
14:00 away without a care.
14:04 While the agony of getting his little friend smashed to pieces is quite palpable, at least
14:08 Naruto can now take some solace in the fact that, yet again, this was only filler.
14:13 Because if it wasn't, then it's likely Boruto would never have existed.
14:18 Number 4 Erecht Pal Dukakus Gets Castrated - Ixion Saga DT
14:24 A spiked boot right to the meat kiwis?
14:27 No one deserves to go down that road, not even a pompous jerk like this guy.
14:38 Unfortunately for the leader of Incognito, his injury was so severe that a doctor ended
14:43 up having to surgically remove them for his own safety.
14:55 Whether you feel immense sympathy for Erecht Pal over here, or can't get enough of watching
14:59 Kon hit his crackers on loop, it can't be denied that he had been set up for failure
15:04 since birth.
15:05 Yeah, his name is a reference to ED.
15:08 Way to fulfil your destiny, man.
15:14 Number 3 Pickleball - Baki Hanma No matter who he goes up against, Baki knows
15:20 that every man has a weakness between the legs.
15:23 And unlike some other fighters, he's willing to exploit that for all it's worth.
15:31 Keep in mind, Baki's blows are strong enough to crack stone, and Pickle is only wearing
15:37 a loincloth.
15:38 So, the question isn't whether this crotch shot hurts, it's how the hell Pickle's
15:43 still conscious at all.
15:46 He's never been one to quit, but seriously, no one should have to live through a hit like
15:52 that.
15:53 Evidently, the onlookers are right when they say that low blows always work.
16:02 Number 2 Nut Punch Man - One Punch Man Not exactly the most heroic way to take down
16:08 an enemy, but then again, if Sonic was as good of a ninja as he said he was, then maybe
16:13 he could have found a way to not land crotch first into the fist of the world's strongest
16:19 man.
16:28 Thinking Saitama to be easy prey, the villainous Shinobi sought to cut him to pieces with his
16:34 superior speed.
16:36 Only to find himself unceremoniously colliding with what is arguably the deadliest weapon
16:41 in all of anime.
16:50 All we can say is "RIP Sonic Stones".
16:53 There is no coming back from that.
17:03 Number 1 Denji the Dong Devil - Chainsaw Man
17:24 Denji doesn't take too kindly to being shrugged off, so the moment Aki smugly turns his back,
17:30 the chainsaw devil gets even with an earth-shattering kick to the groin.
17:40 For what it's worth, Aki stays on his feet long enough to throw a few blows himself,
17:46 but not even he can withstand round two from Denji's nutcracker technique.
17:57 Aki falls to his knees, and then passes out entirely.
18:00 We can't blame him.
18:02 Obviously, Denji knew what he was doing, and that made for a scene that's genuinely painful
18:07 to sit through.
18:08 Quite frankly, it may have cost Aki his chance of being a father.
18:19 Which crotch shot had you turning away from the screen?
18:23 Let us know if it made our list in the comments below.
