I'm pretty certain this is real. Without going too deeply into it, because I hate to search for this stuff, but there is basically an entire genre of anime which amounts to "tentacle porn with the Jigsaw Killer" called, I believe, Guro or Goru? And this honestly sounds like par the course, from what I have heard (and a bit of what I've seen) of the stuff. In fact if I recall there is one series, which is fairly well known among this "genre" of porn for Ted Bundy, which sounds a lot like this Go For Punch thing.
I think you mean Eroguro, guro alone, to the point I know, only means gore.

Probably, to be honest I've done only...minimal research the "genre" really. The whole It's Hentai But For Dennis Rader thing kind of makes me afraid to google it lol! The point stands, I think, that I've seen stuff "censored" by the pearl-clutchers here in the Land of the Free for the sin of being tame, easy going, consensual porn between adults--just with large breast implants and anime eyes. So the idea that they would take one look at Go For Punch and nope out of ever officially licensing it seems within reason to me.

Yeah, euroguro is... unfortunately a thing. But afaik, Saki's just guro, if even that. For all we know, it could just be an outright downer with only a handful of brutal scenes. Depends on how much of what people remember is true, I guess? Folks are pretty certain of the scene where a girl's head gets smashed in, but most other claims are up to speculation. Gory scenes do not a guro make. And yeah, it definitely never got an official release. But if it's real, it probably made its way here on fansubbed cassettes and such. My partner swears up and down they saw it as a kid. Before this craze picked up they were talking about the wedding in the bathroom and all. I'm honestly hoping said craze dies down soon enough though, because blatant misinfo getting thrown around is no good for anyone and this trend of "LARPers" and such is aggravating to say the least.

Paticularly, I like Suehiro Maruo. =-P
GFAP made me thing more in something in the lines of Lain or Evangelion than what I know about EroGuro with the whole thing of 'having a philosophical debate'. But this could be that the original post doesn't have enough information, so the reader fill the blank.
I am inclined to belive it isn't real, just a fabrication or false memory. But I want it to be real. =-P

Oop, yep, that's DEFINITELY eroguro if I've ever seen it. Again, not my thing, but cheers to him for some kickass art.
And yeah, hard agree there! Like, you wouldn't called the Eva franchise guro despite it having several scenes where it... really pulled no punches (some scenes from EoE still make me uncomfortable to watch...). 'Cause as you've said, one of the main memories of Saki is this rumination kind of discussion on if they'll ever escape. Definitely feels like more of the psychological genre. But of course, a lot of that is probably lost in translation, for lack of a better phrasing? Wouldn't surprise me if back then someone saw a gory scene and thought "Ah Yes This Is Eroguro" and then smattered it up on some deep web sites.
I'm honestly still of the opinion that at least something like it exists. Again, probably because I heard about it before it really picked up. I think that there's some edgy obscure anime where some girls are stuck underground and someone's head is bashed in. The rest of the details are murky at best due to, again, a bunch of LARPers running around and just having so many people on the case. Though as it is with this kind of thing, we won't know for a hot minute. I feel like once everyone stops paying attention, someone's gonna pop out with evidence.

Complete non sequitur but, the plot of this entire Go For Punch thing also reminds me of a live action movie I saw, called Bane: Experiment in Terror, wherein basically these military people and an insane scientist trapped a group of women in an underground facility (it was kind of like Suckerpunch) and put them through Hell on Earth in a literal sense. The women have no memory of who they were or how they ended up there. One of them turned out to be working for the bad guys. It had a MASSIVE twist, and that wasn't it...
Spoiler in case you don't want to be spoiled...
You ready?
It turns out that the military is conducting experiments on the women, who were soldiers who had their memories wiped, because Earth had been invaded decades ago by insect-like aliens and we were losing the war. But we found out that the aliens, or one of the aliens who we captured, was killed by "extreme emotion" of some kind. The army assumes it is terror. So the women volunteered to be tortured and mind wiped to try and generate a huge wave of psychic energy to kill the aliens. Then in the end, they decided to use the psychic energy against the aliens but it seems to have no effect. Then the woman who was a traitor expresses true companionship and friendship with one of the women she killed, and THAT kills the aliens and drives them off. And the shock of everyone, including the woman narrating the movie who was the traitor, is that the "extreme emotion" which kills the aliens IS FRIENDSHIP not terror. I'm not kidding, they literally use the power of friendship to drive off the ID4 aliens. Presumably Bane: Experiment in Terror was intended as a prequel to MLP lol.
