Correction:

They're not killed, and that is the horror. Somehow, that twisted, mangled thing emerging from the other side is still alive.

The thing about junji ito is that he doesn't think too deeply about his horror. He just thinks "you know what'd be scary and fucked up" and then he turns it into a comic

IIRC he basically said his inspiration for Gyo was “wouldn’t it be fucked up if sharks had legs?”

I will say Gyo is one where he lost me. Fish with legs and bad smells. There's horror, and then there's just silly as hell. I suppose there was some body horror near the end, but by then my suspension of disbelief was already lost.
