She never felt anything until she was the victim of a knife attack, making her seek physical and emotional pain in order to feel alive. In Blue Reflection Ray, as far as Uta is concerned pain is the reason for living.He nosebled a few times to it in the first episode, but in obvious pain when Mafuyu abuses her for his tardiness. The cafe's owner Dino can count, but only if Maika's doing the abusing.After she says it's her dessert, it becomes an instant hit with the masochist customers. Maika accidentally uses salt, vinegar, and tabasco sauce in her dessert in the second episode of the anime.Moments later when Maika treated her first two customers that way (and completely accidentally!), those two customers are clearly quite happy with the experience. Dino explained there're people who like that-and he's right. When Maika heard that she'd be playing as the sadist at Cafe Stile, she was puzzled as to why anyone would want to be treated like garbage by a waitress.It's fair to say many of Cafe Stile's customers are masochists.Not that the trigger doesn't work, he just is completely unfazed.
In fact, while most of Hajime's party were able to escape the Lotus-Eater Machine in the Sea of Trees Dungeon because of the bonds they share with one another, Tio escaped because the fake Hajime in her dream didn't abuse her as severely as the real one, which disappointed her. In Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest, Tio loves it when Hajime punishes her physically.In The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, Iku gets off on all pain, both physical and emotional, to the point where she's happy that her love for Rentarou is seemingly unrequited, and Rentarou initially pretends to reject her in order to give her the pain he knows she's seeking.Also keep in mind that people can be irrationally annoyed by harmless and innocuous things: like disrupted patterns, perpetual messes, certain smells etc. Bad is Good and Good is Bad might also do the trick. For extreme cases of this, try putting the torture victim in an And I Must Scream state and/or Go Mad from the Isolation. If one really wants to take it Up to Eleven, remember, it's a Good Thing You Can Heal. Most people who identify as masochists don't enjoy being hurt outside of a romantic/sexual context. Note that this is not always Truth in Television for actual masochists, though they might develop a high pain tolerance or an uncanny ability to not react to pain. Whether it's masochism or a steel mind, nothing is more demoralizing to a torturer than his victim berating him on a sloppy job, or worse, giving him tips!Įven bluffing enjoyment can work wonders when under torture, and we mean the good stuff, not just talkies. The best way to survive, nay, thrive during torture is to get off on it (we mean the victim, not the audience).
