* Dana's description of the past: She reveals that [[ForWantOfANail Asuna's absence caused a ripple effect]] in which far from the HappilyEverAfter of ''Negima!'' problems could not be solved, turning Earth into a CrapsaccharineWorld that looks high tech and wonderful but is totally rotten, full of disasters, strife, inequality, war, famine, terrorism and Global Warming consequences. The very same thing we are trying to avert in RealLife. Warning much?

* Ba'al, [[RuleOfThree yes, him again]], seems dead-set on setting a new record of creepiness with each appearance. This time it's his OneWingedAngel. A skyscrapper-sized atrocity made of fused tentacles, with fanged tentacles of variable sizes and a gigantic demon's mouth in his belly, inside which he stands. And it can cover the entire sky with gargantuarian, draconic tentacles that could destroy a city in no time. Say what you will about Ken Akamatsu, but he really gets his kicks in designing FinalBoss after FinalBoss, each with profusion of gloomy details. And he is really good at this.

* Want to see WhoWantsToLiveForever in the vacuum of space? Karin was left there, floating for forty four years, naked and unable to speak. At first, she decides to hone her martial arts skills and work on her backlog of books, but once her mana battery runs out and she's all but perfected her martial arts by herself, she ''immediately'' gives into despair and realizes she has no one left. She then spends her remaining thirty one years curled up in a ball, already having given up on rescue until she comes across the next nearest sun. She freaks out even further upon realizing that she's being pulled into its gravitational field, meaning that she'll likely be burned by the ultra hot star for ''[[AndIMustScream eons]]'', and she'll never be able to become numb to the pain because her flesh regenerates. She at least comments that it's more than fitting a fate for the world's most notorious traitor.

Added DiffLines:


*A good chunk of the "Undercover" arc falls under this, given that it's about a supernatural serial killer. Some highlights:
** The general concept of the arc: an immortal serial killer who's been active for ''eighty years'' and is yet to be caught.
** The murder scenes are a good deal more gruesome than anything else that's been seen in any of Akamatsu's previous works. The killer kills their victims by either dropping them from extremely high up, or by phasing them into objects and leaving them there. A particularly creepy panel shows a group of half a dozen victims all dangling from the ceiling of a classroom.
** The murderer is revealed to be [[spoiler: a necromancer who is dead herself, and she spends most of her screentime swapping between the GenericCuteness typical of an Akamatsu manga and the depths of the uncanny valley. ''Then'' her human form starts to deteriorate and she turns into a cross between a StringyHairedGhostGirl and a spider...]]
** Remember when Akamatsu was known for characters who look like [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/doblaje/images/9/98/Love_hina.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101128193919&path-prefix=es this]]? Well, UQ Holder has a small-scale ZombieApocalypse and [[http://www.mangahere.co/manga/uq_holder/c055/11.html he pulls no punches]] making it look downright horrific.
