* "Completed" I-no giving her RealityWarper power to everybody on the planet near the end of ''Strive'' story mode, allowing humanity to get quite literally ''everything'' it ever wants at its fingertips. The scary part isn't where her gigantic magical body blankets the entire Earth, but the implication that mankind isn't ready use that newfound wonder for good, much like the abuse of Gears Project but on far greater scale. As an opposite of Ariels, I-no doesn't give a shit if humanity ended up destroying the entire current reality and anybody within it just to bring about a new ideal universe it dreamed of.

** And now with newly released footage, it gets even worse. Not only has his appearance taken on a more terrifying tone, but so has his voice and sound effects. He now speaks in a CreepyMonotone that sometimes slips into a VoiceOfTheLegion whenever he uses his dimensional magic. This all but indicates that Faust has started to relapse into his old "Baldhead" persona, and is literally coming apart at the seams.

** And now with newly released footage, it gets even worse. Not only has his appearance taken on a more terrifying tone, but so has his voice. He now has a VoiceOfTheLegion that switches between a CreepyMonotone and his usual high-pitched and comical self, which is now ''screaming in terror and agony''. This all but indicates that Faust has relapsed into his old "Baldhead" persona, which was briefly seen in ''Xrd'' when he encountered Zato. And it hasn't just resurfaced - [[EnemyWithin it's become its own entity]], ''[[SplitPersonalityTakeover and it wants control]]'', with the clashing personas ending up transforming him into a twisted amalgamation of both of them, all while poor Faust is aware but [[AndIMustScream can do little to fight against it]].

** An in-universe moment of horror for Ky is when, early in ''-REVELATOR-'''s story, he speaks with Ariels on how to deal with the ongoing threat to humanity. He already had his suspicions that she may not quite be what she appears to be, but in her haste to move on with her plans and end the conversation, Ariels lets it slip that she doesn't give one iota of a damn for the people they're supposed to be protecting. Ky has to loosely ''point this mistake out to her'' for her to realize she stumbled briefly, resulting in a blatant excuse and fake smile. The camera then cuts to a slow pan of [[OhCrap Ky's horrified expression]] as he realizes humanity's greatest threat is lying to his face and ''[[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen in charge of all of it]]'', with him completely unable to do a single thing about it at that moment without being potentially executed for traitorous blasphemy on the spot.

** His Instant Kill, pictured above, is even more disturbing than Bedman's, and that's saying something. He slowly walks towards the opponent as his entire body is suddenly engulfed in blue fire, giving the horrifying visage of a burning shadow walking towards the opponent with no eyes and no mouth, instead having ones made out of said fire. [[NeckLift He then chokes the opponent and lifts them high]] as His eye sockets turn a terrifying, [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] and the flames proceed to swirl up into a twister and ''incinerate him and the opponent alive''. When it finally subsides, both him and the opponent have been reduced to nothing but ashes. '''Then his hand [[JumpScare suddenly rises up]] from out of the ashes.'''

[[caption-width-right:350:'''''No one can see the colors...''''']]

--> '''May:''' ''JOHNNY'S REVEEEENGE!!!!''

** Xrd continues the trend of frightening stages with the Opera, Venom and Zato's stage. It just screams ''surrealism'', with what appears to be people strapped to chairs with numbered boxes on their heads circling a giant clock in the background, all while being watched by an enormous skeletal giant on its throne. ''Just what the hell is going on here?''

--> '''[[MyGreatestFailure I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!]]'''
--> '''[[GoodCannotComprehendEvil Why...?]]'''
--> '''No, [[AbusiveParents Mother]], please! Stop! I-I can't...!'''
--> '''Even death [[CompleteImmortality is a luxury]] [[WhoWantsToLiveForever I cannot have]]!'''
--> '''[[GoesMadFromTheRevelation N-No...! I can be certain of NOTHING in this world...too many variables to solve the equations! This must be...HELL!]]'''

* When Faust meets Zato in ''Xrd'', he seems to become uncharacteristically angry and bloodthirsty. He still fights in a wacky manner, but he sounds absolutely ''furious'', and one of his reactions to winning a round is screaming at Zato to not die ''yet''. One might even say he begins to regress into his old SerialKiller self whenever he's dealing with the assassin directly responsible for ruining his life, driving him to kill innocent people out of psychosis and guilt, and for murdering an innocent little girl. To put it into perspective; imagine seeing a man you know as a good, kindhearted doctor, who has proven time and time again his own wisdom and generosity, earned your respect because of it, and then you get to see him [[BrokenPedestal in his darkest moments as he indulges in a little {{Revenge}} and just barely avoids [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope falling down the slippery slope]]]].

* -REVELATOR- finally shows what happened to Elphelt after the events of -SIGN-, and it is NOT something to look forward to. Her hair is now white, she has a ''spiked collar'' around her neck, giving her the appearance of a slave or a dog on a leash, and her outfit has received a DarkerAndEdgier color scheme. Her Arcade Mode reveals that her appearance is due to a combination of Bedman's abilities and Ariels' machinations: Elphelt is trapped inside a dream-state which consists of fighting simulated impostors of the main cast, all while she has no memory of -SIGN-'s events. After she starts remembering, Ariels steps in and creates a copy of Sol who acts nothing like the real thing, but [[EveryoneHasStandards Bedman decides that even that is too cruel and takes matters into his own hands.]] Elphelt finally remembers everything and defeats Bedman, but awakens to an awful revelation: ''[[PoweredByAForsakenChild she is being used as Justice's core]]''.

* Dizzy's second story ending in ''Accent Core Plus''. We hear Dizzy crying for help until she slowly get's immobilized by Crow. [[spoiler:She is captured and cloned and the ending picture shows naked Dizzy copies floating in capsules while Crow is watching. The scientist told another guy that he would keep for himself the "beautiful" original.]] Horror levels up when Crow creepily says that Dizzy is his forever while the poor girl is unable to respond.

** Even worse are the characters' reactions. Here are Faust's, May's, [[spoiler: Elphelt]]'s, Raven's, [[VariableMix and his own]] to get the ball rolling.
--> '''[[spoiler:[[MyGreatestFailure I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!]]]]'''

** His stage is also pretty disturbing, looking like a demented movie theater. Also pay close attention to the story that the movie screen plays which essentially details [[spoiler: a girl getting a dog-like doll which comes alive and kills her and the family before burning the house down]].

* [[spoiler: '''Ky getting shot'''. Yes, he survived. No, it doesn't make the imagery any less horrifying. When their big plan is going to hell, Ky immediately attempts to rush to the others' aid...'''BANG!''' The music stops completely, the camera then pans down to show Ky bleeding from his stomach. Camera pans behind him to reveal the shooter: it's Axus of the Conclave, who has just shot him with a revolver. Another gunshot. Camera fades back in to show Ky's bullet-ridden body on the floor, ''bleeding everywhere''. Axus delivers some [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech biting comments]] and [[PostMortemOneLiner one-liners]] before walking off.]]

* [[spoiler: Ariels. Good God, '''''Ariels'''''. The moment she reveals her true, bug-fuck crazy personality, she becomes the series' most terrifying character, even moreso than Raven. Her [[NightmareFace facial]] [[SlasherSmile expressions]] go straight into UncannyValley territory and the lighting changing around her just makes it worse. There's also the fact that her voice changes to what can only be described as an older woman trying to imitate a 12-year-old schoolgirl, in the most unsettling way imaginable. Worse still is the revelation that she's only taking human form. Ariels is actually The Universal Will, an EldritchAbomination made out of pure information who [[MadGod was driven mad]] from its directive to make humanity happy and prosperous without harming them. She then proceeds to nonchalantly shoot an innocent civilian in front of both Ky and Leo while letting her true personality slip and betray Bedman in one of the cruelest ways imaginable.]]

* Testament's 1st ending in ''GGXX'' [[spoiler: where Dizzy DIES. '''He murders Johnny who did his best to protect Dizzy right in front of May.''' It's implied that he'll massacre the whole Jellyfish crew next and proceed to human genocide.]]

* [[RubberBandHistory The alternate future]]. [[spoiler:Ky Kiske]], the prodigy and the next-in-line commander of the Holy Knights, died. Everybody got so demoralized, that it is described as [[DespairEventHorizon "the day where hope crumbled,"]] maybe except for Sol, [[TearJerker who is inspired to take his place.]] But to pretty much everybody else, '''[[CrapsackWorld it's hell.]]'''
** The [[FriendToAllLivingThings ever-lovable]] [[spoiler:Dizzy]] is an AxCrazy [[KillAllHumans genocidal]] [[MagnificentBastard Magnificent Bitch]] who wipes out half the aerial fleet of the Holy Knights with a [[WaveMotionGun Gamma Ray.]] And feel shivers down your spine when the [[spoiler:Dizzy]] you know schemes her evil plan with an evil voice, then [[UnstoppableRage gets really, really angry]] later on. [[spoiler: She is truly her mother's daughter....]]
** [[spoiler:Johnny]] is dead. [[spoiler:May and probably together with what's left of the Jellyfish crew]] [[DrivenToSuicide launch a]] SuicideAttack on [[spoiler:Dizzy]] with the [[spoiler:Mayship]] [[SenselessSacrifice and fails.]]. [[note]]This is far more disturbing as we know them as a [[TrueCompanions sweet, sisterly group]] full of cute girls.[[/note]]
--> '''[[spoiler:May:]]''' [[spoiler:''JOHNNY'S REVEEEENGE!!!!'']]
** To boot, all of this was caused by I-No's really naughty prank of befriending a teenage Ky, driving him into saving her in a hopeless situation and [[spoiler:watching him suffer a nasty death]] and laughing at it. And where is she in this timeline? Still walking around and [[{{Troll}} trolling]] people, including an AxCrazy MadDoctor [[BaldOfEvil Dr. Baldhead]] and [[spoiler:killing him later on.]] It was a very good thing that That Man decided that this kind of timeline won't do and told I-No to stop screwing around and fix the timeline...

** Also, the Nightmare Theater; possessing multiple ''wonderful'' images that show on the screens in the background, ranging from a faceless girl hugging a creepy wide-eyed dog plushy, moths covering the screen, a murder scene with some sort of ''face'' drawn into the wall with blood, and a shot of a dark hallway [[spoiler:that is eventually entered by a giant, dog...creature...thing. With those soulless, blank eyes and [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy-Krueger]] esque claws]]. [[SarcasmMode Lovely.]]
* I-No's ending in ''Accent Core'' where she [[spoiler:gets frozen in time]] for screwing That Man's plans.
* Though it may look comical on the surface, Zappa is practically [[spoiler:spirited away into the world of the supernatural, and most likely will be stuck there forever with a creepy ghost woman who's madly obsessed with him.]] Luckily, there's no proof that this is canon.

* In the ''Lightning the Argent'' novel, several villagers are violently killed with several parts of their bodies missing. Ky goes and investigates and meets a crippled girl named Marina. Due to circumstances, Marina accidentally drank the "miracle drug," Vitae, that Ky brought and it cured her disability. [[spoiler:But when Solaria, a Commander Gear, sings, '''MARINA'S LEGS EXPLODE into anaconda-ish Gears that begin to eat her.''' Luckily, Ky is able to '''hack off''' the Gears (or her legs!) and carries the girl to Faust. However, others who drank the drug, which comprises the whole village, aren't so lucky as they are '''eaten alive by their body parts that mutated into Gears,'''just like what happened to the earlier villagers.]]

* Faust may be a bit of a goofball now, but it's easy to forget he didn't used to be this way. Before becoming Faust, he was Dr. Baldhead, a miracle worker whose ability to cure and heal people was said to be out of this world. One day, however, a little girl he was operating on suddenly died without any reasonable explanation. This drove him insane, and he became a serial killer who used his RealityWarper powers to brutally and gruesomely murder innocents. It was only thanks to a talk with the spirit of said girl, who revealed that it wasn't his fault that she died, that he was able to reform himself. Now, he's still plenty crazy, but in a more benign way. Or, at least, he ''was''...until ''-STRIVE-'', that is. Gone is the hilarious, mildly crazy doctor who swam through the floor and teleported through doors that appeared out of thin air. In his place is...''something''...that looks like a man in a surgeon's uniform, [[HumanoidAbomination but very clearly isn't]]. His entire body is now unnaturally shaded, like he came straight out of a manga or comic book, and looks horribly emaciated and stretched out beyond normal proportions. He walks and lurches around like a zombie. Instead of making and appearing from doors that lead to other places, he ''eats his opponent alive'' through his bag mask, then vomits them out when they resist by ''tearing a dimensional hole in reality''. He disturbingly morphs his body into looking like a very creepy scarecrow that pops out of the ground and can seemingly turn his legs into a tornado. Whatever this...''thing'' calling itself Faust is, it isn't the Faust you knew from 20 years ago.

** The purpose of putting the Japaneses [[GildedCage inside the Colony]] is to turn them into gigantic living bombs and teleport them right into the middle of Illyria.

* Raven is to this series as what Izanami is to ''BlazBlue''. That is to say, he's practically a creepypasta character. To start things off, his very existence is fundamentally wrong in a way that causes time and space themselves to bend simply because he exists. He's completely immortal, incapable of dying in any way, age or otherwise (the spike nailed viciously through his skull is evidence enough of this). His skin is deathly pale, and his hair has whitened, which gives him an eerie, zombie-like appearance. In previous games, Raven's skin was blue-toned, as if he had died of suffocation. Perhaps most disturbing about his character design is his personality: he's a batshit insane CombatSadomasochist who gets stimulated from receiving pain as well as dishing it out, and he gleefully [[LickingTheBlade licks his own bloodstained claws]] in ecstasy. He's one of the most powerful characters in the franchise, with dangerous dark magic that distorts reality. In fact, Raven is so powerful that he can consistently go toe-to-toe with the infamously overpowered and unfazed hero, Sol Badguy, who is ''completely terrified of him'' even if he doesn't show it. [[CreepyGood Despite these facts and his allegiance to That Man, Raven isn't evil, since That Man isn't evil either.]] Both of them are working towards creating a brighter future for mankind where both humans and gears can live in peaceful coexistence. In-game, he moves and contorts in extremely odd ways and has very deranged facial expressions.

** Even worse are the characters' reactions. Here's Faust's, May's, [[spoiler: Elphelt]]'s, Raven's, [[VariableMix and his own]] to get the ball rolling.

Both of them are working towards creating a brighter future for mankind where both humans and gears can live in peaceful coexistence. In-game, he moves and contorts in extremely odd ways and has very deranged facial expressions.
** His backstory is quite disturbing as well. Raven's been alive for ''millennia'', and was an actual Crusader. When he failed a mission, his entire troop was killed and he himself was executed. While being executed his eyes beheld another dimension where a murder of crows encircled and stared at him, while the sensation of their stares mirrored his body being stabbed and mutilated by his executioners. He survived and wandered the earth for 1000 years without a purpose, eventually going mad and driving a spike through his forehead out of despair.

** Even the existence current timeline qualifies as FridgeHorror as you realize that every happiness and hope mankind regains is thanks to I-No's time trolling. What if she goes back and time and changes stuff again?
** If the games are any indication, take solace in the fact that That Man will most likely rein I-No in, clean up after her, and punish I-No for mucking thing up in the first place.
* The Crusades prior to the event of ''GG''. Imagine a 100 year war against the worst {{Eldritch Abomination}}s you can ever imagine with sizes ranging from cow size to Rhode Island-size. They don't have mercy, they don't get tired, they don't fear and they are specially designed by your fellow humans to kill you with fire, claws, teeth or poison. One of them could also be your loved one just converted into a Human-type Gear. Also before the Crusades, nations were already warring with each other.

** Also, the Nightmare Theater; possessing multiple ''wonderful'' images that show on the screens in the background, ranging from a faceless girl hugging a creepy wide-eyed dog plushy, moths covering the screen, a murder scene with some sort of ''face'' drawn into the wall with blood, and a shot of a dark hallway [[spoiler:that is eventually entered by a giant, dog...creature...thing.

* Dizzy's Instant Kill, while hilarious, is a terrifying display of her power. She can create energy blasts that are as powerful as '''nuclear warheads'''.
