Watching it the 2nd time, you begin to recover and realise anime makes it far less grim then something actually real but in the moment, it's just shockingly disgusting. I watched her torture scene for the first time with the sound muted and still became despair over it.

Also I agree on Izuru, uncovered memories that broke him, he became despair because he found something he's never felt in his Izuru form, strong friendship, and it's laying in front of you, a bloody mess just lying on the floor. I kid you not. I haven't watched the entire torture scene again. I watched bits of it, and now I don't even want to touch that episode for the time being. Even the still images were hard to see when they were uploaded, and I almost broke down and cried. I actually think they are the reason I was awake half the night.

I did have the displeasure of accidentally landing on the part where Chiaki screamed after getting the spear in her knee, when I was watching it again to see the class's slow descend into despair, as well as seeing the black and white swirl eyes start to turn red after Cuchallain said that happened in the episode. Yeah, everytime I think of that part of Chiaki's torture, I wince.

Then I rewatched the part where she was voted as the class representative, and it just has so much more meaning now than it did before, especially seeing how Chiaki's slow torture and death affected them all. That is why any scenes that involve them reacting to Chiaki's execution is my favourite part of the episode, especially when Fuyuhiko calls Junko a little shit, and yells at her to let Chiaki go, and then Hiyoko is begging not to watch anymore. Great character moments for those two.
