[[Training from Hell]] on an industrial scale.
Line 10 ⟶ 11:
If you hear the term "[[Super Soldier]]", it will usually involve this. This will often result in a [[Badass Army]] if done properly and taken to the proper level. May result in [[Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training]] if the soldiers aren't given a balanced education outside of warfare. When the training is actually simply a way of living, you get [[HAD to Be Sharp]].

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]? Fumoffu'', Sousuke subjects his high school rugby team to this, in a not-so-subtle [[Shout-Out]] to ''Full Metal Jacket''.

* Divine Assassin training in ''[[The Open Door]]''. It starts with a five-kilometre run on hot asphalt immediately followed by a two-kilometre swim across the Aegean sea, with burnt feet still smarting, and the four-year training includes torture and a week-long [[Mind Rape]] session at the hands of an [[Eldritch Abomination]] [[Complete Monster]]. The end result kills 37 excessively gung-ho trainees out of the 120 volunteers, with the rest washed out to less intense courses, which admittedly does not look very severe. Space Marine trained inherited from canon!40k most likely follows the old vein too.
