Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky

The graphic nature of the violence also generates significant feelings of being Disturbing and Disgust. Viewers also experience Anger due to the protagonist's unjust imprisonment and the cruelty inflicted upon his friends, leading to a strong sense of Anticipation for his brutal revenge and ultimately, Satisfaction when justice is served in the most extreme ways.
