!''Anime/InazumaElevenAres''
* Ares introduces the ''Ares No Tenbin'', a school designed to push anyone from elementary all the way until college to become successful physically and academically. However, if you don't have the mental capacity to withstand it like Haizaki's friend Akane, then it can leave you ''comatose'' for years.
* Orion #3: Park, Baek, and Lee outright brutalize Seok, ''their own captain'', one of them kneeing him straight in the gut to remove him from the game. The Disciples of Orion do not play around.
** Worse, any discipline that loses or ultimately fails in their mission is taken away by TheMenInBlack for who knows what reason.
* Orion #4: Ichihoshi nearly murders Endou with a spike hidden on the soccer battle he shot at him while training.
* Orion #6: What's worse than blinding players with light and tackling them brutally? How about cutting their legs with a hidden knife inside their shoes! The first sabotage is something that while painful, is still something easier to heal from, but cutting their legs could cause grievous injuries especially if they were to cut a sensitive spot.
* Orion #13: TheReveal of Ichihoshi. He's not Ichihoshi Mitsuru, he's Ichihoshi ''Hikaru''. The younger brother who was unable to cope with his older brother's death and as a result absorbed his personality, but unlike Fubuki, he thought that he was Mitsuru while Hikaru was injured by the car crash and is currently ill. It's truly horrifying to realize you're not even the person you thought you were and that everything your organization told you was a lie to motivate you to work for them.
** That's not even counting the fact that while character deaths are done off screen previously, we see Mitsuru dying right in front of Hikaru '''on-screen'''. A first '''on-screen''' death in Inazuma Eleven as a whole. It's any wonder that he's traumatized...
* Orion #33: Asuto, after he turned down the offer to be part of Orion, his father then orders two men to chloroform knocking Asuto out. Keep in mind he is not any older then ''14'' and this is also a pretty realistic way to kidnap someone in this show. This scene alone makes any other time Asuto is alone with his dad creepy.
* Orion #36: TheStinger for the next episode shows Asuto completely brainwashed as a part of Orion... Thankfully it was later shown to be [[RedHerring someone with a similar hairstyle like Asuto]] in the next episode, however this does leave us wondering where the ''real'' Asuto is.
* Orion #43: Near the end of the episode, we are introduced to Irina Girikanan, whose EstablishingCharacterMoment is being an '''AbusiveParent''', slapping Bernard down. A 29 year old man, no less! While most parents in Inazuma Eleven are shown to be [[ParentsAsPeople flawed]], but loving parents to their kids along with some GoodParents, [[ParentalNeglect with a few exceptions]], Irina is outright the first parent in the franchise who is shown to be ''a completely abusive mother''. Anyone who had an AbusiveParent once would have find things that Bernard endured hit CloseToHome.

** Worse, any discipline that loses or ultimately fails in their mission is taken away by the MenInBlack for who knows what reason.

* Fifth Sector in ''GO'' are pretty terrifying in a more mundane way, being an all-powerful organization that controls soccer and brutally punishes anyone who goes against them. We see the full extent of this early on, where they order Tsurugi, in his brief stint as TheMole to ''cripple'' Tenma to the point where he can never play soccer again, just for trying to stand up to them. He ''seriously considered going through with it'' too, until he had a HeelFaceTurn. As Raimon starts winning more and more, their measures get more and more desperate, such as putting known violent players on teams you go up against, having your coaches fired, blackmailing the star players of your opponents to keep them in line and [[spoiler: ''destroying the schools of other teams that joined the revolution''.]]
* The FinalBoss team of the first ''GO'' game, Dragonlink, are quite creepy. Apart from their captain, all their players have the same hair colour and even look similar, and their formation is military-based. Their whole team has [[SummonMagic Avatars]], but due to ChessMotifs most of them are just Pawns, which implies many of them have been stripped of their individuality. Since they're the private team of [[spoiler: the real leader of]] Fifth Sector, they're portrayed as essentially a dictator's private army of super-soldiers. The match against them is also a dark and stormy BattleInTheRain.

** On the note of Perfect Cascade, they also follow a similar concept to Dragonlink where they all have Keshins that has little to no individuality. Everybody in the team has some variety of Jinkou Keshin Plasma Shadow (as seen above), which as the name implies [[spoiler: is a man-made Keshin, as the same goes for the players]].

* Orion #33: Asuto, after [[spoiler:he turned down the offer to be part of Orion,]] his father then orders two men to chloroform knocking Asuto out. Keep in mind he is not any older then ''14'' and this is also a pretty realistic way to kidnap someone in this show. This scene alone makes any other time Asuto is alone with his dad creepy.

* The FinalBoss team of the first ''GO'' game, Dragonlink, have a major case of UncannyValley going on. Apart from their captain, all their players have the same hair colour and even look similar, and their formation is military-based. Their whole team has [[SummonMagic Avatars]], but due to ChessMotifs most of them are just Pawns, which implies many of them have been stripped of their individuality. Since they're the private team of [[spoiler: the real leader of]] Fifth Sector, they're portrayed as essentially a dictator's private army of super-soldiers. The match against them is also a dark and stormy BattleInTheRain.

* Following the similar UncannyValley concept with Dragonlink, Perfect Cascade can also fall under this. Everybody has this monotonous tone going on, then you just listen to how (in the Japanese dub) soulless their members sound. Eventually it's finally revealed in King Arthur's parallel world that they are in fact robots created by El Dorado to become the best soccer team.

* Fubuki. As if his BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind with Atsuya isn't creepy enough, ''Fubuki '''''actually''''' starts to talking to himself''. It escalates and climaxed after he was beaten up with Hiroto/Gran's Ryuusei Blade, [[https://youtu.be/7GOxBCQWRx4?t=3m31s the mirror scene with Atsuya is downright terrifying]]; bordering on [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 Silent Hill's]] level of PsychologicalHorror.[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/atsuya.jpg There's a good reason he's the original poster boy for this page.]]
