About a month ago, I’ve found out about matanozoki. Where it is believed someone can view ghosts and such by bending over and looking between their legs. And also how it’s a popular thing to do at Amanohashidate. Anyways, it got me to thinking. About it’s bound to be used in horror content every now and then. So what all examples are there of this being used in j_horror?
the Golden Army from Hellboy II: The Golden Army - There is a reason why Prince Nuada desires to control it. Each one is a 20 foot tall colossus with retractable wrist blades and the ability to repair itself. Regardless the severity of the damage, detached limbs and such included.
Yasha Nydoorin from The Mighty Nein - Under Obann’s control, she effortlessly mows through countless soldiers. All in search of the Beacon.
Juggernaut from X-Men: Evolution - He often requires two teams of mutants to stand a chance against him. As he tenaciously pursues whatever goal he has on his mind. For example, getting revenge on Professor X for his imprisonment.
the Juggernaut from Thir13en Ghosts - Not even death can contain his hatred and urge to kill any humans he sees. After becoming a ghost, he increases his already notable body count. And even before then, he managed to break free of his handcuffs and kill 3 cops. When it took over a dozen to subdue him.
Gigantomachia from My Hero Academia - Despite working together, the heroes struggle greatly to stop him. They finally manage to render him unconscious with a high dosage of sedative. But he manages to cause a massive amount of damage before it finally kicks in.
Death Bear from Regular Show - He chases Mordecai, Rigby, Margaret, and Eileen from the abandoned zoo all the way to the park house. And it takes multiple tranquilizer darts to render him unconscious. He manages to render several men tasked with stopping him in the process.
SCP-096 from SCP Foundation - Once someone sees his face, even a pixel, it does not matter where they are. Or what stands between them. He will not stop until the person is dead. He will even cross continents to make this happen.
Pumpkinhead from Pumpkinhead (1988) - This towering demon of vengeance only stops when one of two things happens. If all of its intended targets are dead. Or if the person who summons it gets killed.
Darth Vader from Star Wars - Best exemplified when he cuts through a hallway of rebels shooting at him. And when he uses the Force to stop a burning AT-ST Walker from landing on top of him. Each time someone manages to get away, it is barely.
Typhon from Percy Jackson - It takes most of the Olympians to stand a chance against him. And it takes Poseidon suddenly arriving with his army to finally defeat him. As he heads toward Mount Olympus with the intent of destroying it.
Omnidroid v10 from The Incredibles - The Incredibles and Frozone working together, nor the military, can simply stop it. It only gets beaten when Mr. Incredible remembers Syndrome’s remote. And the fact that only its claws can penetrate its metal shell.
Avatar State Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender - After unlocking and fully mastering the Avatar state during his duel with Fire Lord Ozai, Aang becomes this. Channeling all four bending styles at once as he chases after Ozai. Who desperately attempts to put some ground between the two of them. That being said, he is also at his most vulnerable. Evident when Azula shoots him while in the Avatar state. Causing him to be unable to access the Avatar state for a long while.
Doomsday from Justice League Unlimited - He crosses an ocean just to kill Superman. After their battle, Superman finds himself forced to send the behemoth to the Phantom Zone. Knowing no prison on Earth can contain him. And also that killing him in any manner will only work once.
Conquest from Invincible (2021) - He is faster and stronger than the vast majority of Viltrumites. Which really says something. And he is utterly relentless whenever he fights.

Yes, I know this was from April 29th. But I only saw it just now on r/BoomersBeingFools.
I saw only the very beginning, and it was many years ago. It was at night. In the woods, a man was buried up to his neck. He was pleading the man about to kill him for mercy. Repeatedly saying along the lines of, “Please don’t cut my eyes out.” He even mentioned having a daughter. Based on what little I remember, she was likely an adult woman. Because he was definitely on up there in age. However, his pleading fell on deaf ears. While he was never shown being killed, it’s obvious that is what happened. The next scene, it was daytime. And it feels it was an aerial view of a highway surrounded by trees on each side.
From what was shown and described of it, it seemed a bit all over the place. Whereas 1-A’s concert was more cohesive. And it felt uplifting. So it’s a bit puzzling 1-B’s play was voted to be better. Even if it was by only two votes.
