[[Gyo]] is a [[Seinen]] horror manga by [[Junji Ito]], also known for creating ''[[Uzumaki]]'' and ''[[The Enigma of Amigara Fault]]'' (which, incidentally, is an extra story in the back of the second volume).
During World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army commissioned a secret experiment to create biological weapons. The end result - a deadly

{{tropelist}}
* [[Alien Sky]]: A grey, swirling sky is shown off throughout the OVA. [http://i.imgur.com/RiDIz.jpg It's actually pretty by the end.]
* [[And I Must Scream]]
* [[Bland
* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: The manga had very little blood; the OVA looks like it's going to have gallons.
* [[Blood
* [[Body Horror]]: A particularly gruesome moment when {{spoiler|they tried to remove the tubes out of Kaori's mouth. Her mouth was grotesquely disfigured and judging by the [[Gorn|detailed drawing]] one can plainly see that if you try to yank the tubes away her mouth would stick to it and got peeled off. Surrounding the inner lips were a kind of wires that were sewn in.}} It was [[Tear Jerker|sad]].
* [[Brick Joke]]: The first walking fish is smashed and bagged, {{spoiler|but its bacteria keeps producing enough gases to make it ''float to the mainland.''}}
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
** {{spoiler|The OVA tries to make the ending [[It Gets Worse|even worse]] by showing scenes of the infection in different countries, a clear sign that unless an immunity is developed, most of humanity is pretty much screwed.}}
* [[Editorial Synaesthesia]]: Stink lines.
* [[
* [[
** {{spoiler|Kaori is this in the OVA}}
* [[Evil Hand]]: One of the legged machines is removed from the fish it was fused to, after which it ''latches onto a scientist's arm''. Though [[Genre Savvy|he promptly]] [[Life or Limb Decision|amputates it]] ''it starts crawling around for a while.''
Line 36 ⟶ 35:
* [[Final Girl]]:{{spoiler|In the anime, where Kaori is the only named survivor.}}
* [[Fog of Doom]]
* [[For Science!]]
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Ms. Yoshiyama
* [[It Got Worse]]: See the cover of the first volume up there? With the zombie fish? Here's [[media:gyo-vol-2_1221.jpg|the cover of the second volume!]]
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
* [[Madness Mantra]]: Aki chants "Die, die, die, die" under her breath as she simmers over Kaori leaving and Erika engaging in a threesome.
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* [[Monumental Damage]]: The world's doom in the manga is sealed with a montage of swarms at the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, Empire State Building, and Kremlin.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Kaori and Erika get scenes that would make the viewer rock hard in the anime. The latter actually seems to try to invoke this trope. As for the former, the OVA suspiciously seems have the viewer focus on Kaori's legs and skirt at extreme screenshots.
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Zombie fish. With robot legs. {{spoiler|Actually, just robot legs. Made by sentient bacteria. Apparently under the command of ghosts}}.
* [[Raising the Steaks]]
* [[Scenery Gorn]]
* [[Screaming Woman]]: Kaori. [[Narm|In nearly every scene]]. In the anime, however, she is noticeably much calmer.
* [[Spared
* [[Spider Tank]]: All the walking fish are really fused with these. They steadily get bigger to carry bigger bodies...
* [[Take Our Word for It]]: It's a good thing that there's no media that could express the monsters' smell to us. Though they keep saying that it smells like death, which anyone who's ever had to deal with gangrene knows all too well. (Or if you work in a morgue).
