the best "what the heck just happened?" moments in anime

One thing I just love about anime is the moments where you just stare at the screen and say to yourself, "Okay, what the heck just happened?" These are moments that defy explanation because, well, they're just strange or disturbing.
So what are your "what the heck?" moments?
Here are some of mine:
1. NInja Scroll--the bad guy rips someone in half and then drinks his blood
2. Serial Experiments Lain--the scene where the kid fires an invisible gun at a girl.
3. .hack//sign--[spoiler]the scene where Tsukasa dies, sort of.[/spoiler]

I was totally devastated (even though I had been prepared by what everyone said) after viewing the 26 episodes of Evangelion and ended up with the original ending from the TV series. It made more sense after watching the movie, but still......
I think wat was worse was the Big-O and it's ending. I won't say more you just have to see it.
Akira......yeah, that was pretty much O_O, but I'm reading the manga, and I think after a 2nd viewing it might make more sense.....maybe.

The problem was that you had a title for the spoiler. It should be [spoiler*]blah[/spoiler*] without the *s. =)

Yakitate Japan...half the series. Everytime one of the judges eats one of Azuma's breads.
But especially in the episode with the peacock running around...I mean really.

Cardcaptor Sakura
[spoiler]That one episode near the end of the second season, when Sakura lost to Yue and everyone in the world forgot the person they love the most. Of course then later you find out it's a dream.[/spoiler]
I was chatting with my brother when I watched this for the first time, and when it happened, I was like, "EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!?! That *so* did not just happen."
And I second the DeathNote one. >_> That's why I stopped watching.

Oh, I know one in Death Note that takes the cake.
[spoiler]The pen that can cut an artery and you bleed a river of blood. [/spoiler]

I second both of the Death Note moments that have been mentioned.
And Im really surprised that no one has mentioned this one yet.
It's one from Full Metal Alchemist. I mean of course there were a lot of "what the heck just happened?" moments, but the one that really caught me off guard was...
[spoiler] when Hughs is killed. [/spoiler]

For me, it's the end of the series. (The other 'end of eva'?)
Of course all 'Do what?' endings pale incomparison to their original prototype... the end of the movie '2001'.

Pretty much all of Princess Mononoke
The final episode of Paranoia Agent.
That said, I can sincerely appreciate anything that can make me go "What the heck was that...", no matter how low quality it actually is. I can't think of any anime examples though.
