* Frollo's actions are just as monstrous in the game as they were in his original film, but the game adds the wrinkle that Frollo thinks the power to command the Nightmares is a gift from God to use to exterminate the Romani. Riku's side also sees Frollo become even more insane than his film counterpart, cackling madly to himself and relishing the fire raging below the cathedral. When the Wargoyle arrives to fight Riku at his command, the shaking from the beast's approach causes Frollo to lose his footing and fall to his death. Does Frollo cry out in terror like in the film and Sora's side? Nope. He gleefully declares "judgement is mine" and doesn’t try to save or right himself as he plummets into the flames, that far off the deep end.

* While more in-game than in-universe, fighting [[{{Superboss}} Julius]] can be pretty frightening. The fact that ''WesternAnimation/RunawayBrain'' had fallen into obscurity well before the game was released meant that few players even knew he existed, making the sudden appearance of a huge, monstrous, and dangerous Pete all the more frightening.

** To top it off, the game implies that - unlike the FF characters who are more explicitely AU interpretations - these ARE the characters from TWEWY. That IS Neku, Shiki, Beat, and Rhyme. Not AU versions. And those are all Joshua could save. All the Reapers, Players, people, Erased by Heartless.
