Serial killer truck-kun...

Did you know, not everyone hit by a truck in anime gets sent to some fantasy world? Some just die.

Things to learn from this:
1. Remember to look both ways before crossing the street.
2. Do not stand in the street.
3. If you see someone else in the street that is about to get struck, your chances of saving them is low, and it is possible that the accident will instead have 2 casualties instead of 1.
4. Death is not a revolving door or a transportation device to another world.
5. If you think truck-kun is after you, best to become a hikikomori. Your chances for survival increase dramatically.

This is bad cliche that really needs to get hit by itself. There is enough mental health issues here that we do not need children (and some adults) delusional and try this.

Good thing it is their parents' job and not Wikipedia to teach children the difference between fantasy and reality.

I think we’d call that a destruction derby…..or an insurance claim.

Well if we’re being technical going to hell or heaven is considered starting a new life.

Unfortunate though that some “parents” refuse to do this sometimes leaving it up for the kids to do so themselves “hopefully”.

idea of afterlife is present in most major religions and systems of belief for millennia. We should never restrict fiction on the basis on someone's kid being brought up without any common sense. I've heard of cases of children trying to fly like superheroes do and dying or almost dying, will you lobby to remove flying from common superpowers as well?

For a moment I thought "Did You Know That a Common Way to Travel to Another World Is to Be Hit by a Truck?" was the title of a new anime.

They're getting longer and longer.

At least one of the editors in Wikipedia is clearly cultured.

Other series that feature or parody the killer truck

What I find odd is that this article, which links to Wiki's truck-kun page, is linked in the footnotes on that page. It's The Circle of Links I guess.
