** Worse still, at one point Yami Yugi ''collapses unconscious right in front of Kaiba'', and is lying there unable to stand even after coming to for several minutes. The fact that Kaiba doesn't realize his own technology shouldn't be doing this to someone is kind of horrific, especially when he could have murdered someone he actually respects just to get victory. In the Japanese this scene goes on even longer. And then the implications of Gozaburo doing similar things kicks in...

** The way she attacks Celtic Guardian is even worse; we don't see any of it, but the choice of sound effects make it clear that she's [[{{Gorn}} ripping him apart and most likely eating him alive]].

* Anubis reveals himself by growing out of Kaiba's shadow, grabbing him by the head, and throwing him against the floor hard enough to knock him out and injure his arm.

* Yugi missing with the dagger throw is both funny and this trope, as there was no other way to defeat Anubis.

* Late in their duel, Anubis tells Yami, "Soon worms will feast on your flesh as they feasted on mine." Yami Yugi is actually shaking in fear for a few seconds.

* Inside the Pyramid, Anubis swarms Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Tea with a horde of mummies that keep attacking even after getting punched in half or having their heads kicked off.

* After losing the duel to Yugi, Anubis summons himself in real life, turning into a monstrous jackal that grows more threatening the more the fight goes on. His first move is to summon giant cards to attack Yugi and Kaiba, blowing up Kaiba's Duel Disk and scattering their cards. His ''next'' move is to shoot beams of energy at the ceiling, nearly killing Yugi's friends. Then he grows larger, becomes bipedal, and his skin turns ''veiny'', with an axe jutting out of his forehead and giant wings sprouting from his back.

* The poster on the main page is this because of Anubis's SlasherSmile.
* Over the course of one movie Yami Yugi gets blinded by his own cards, has his life energy sucked out to the point of near-death, gets stabbed through the back in the heart, gets mocked by Kaiba and Anubis, and gets blasted so hard he's knocked unconscious for several minutes and can barely stand when he does get up.

* Anubis tells Yami, "Soon worms will feast on your flesh as they feasted on mine." Yami Yugi is actually shaking in fear for a few seconds.

* The scene where Yugi follows the Pharaoh into Anubis' chamber is pretty creepy. Yami moves as though he is possessed and compelled by Anubis' will, and doesn't respond to Yugi calling to him. He then phases through a door and turns into energy, vanishing into Anubis. The chord that kicks in when he sees Anubis' chamber underscores the tension nicely. What makes it worse is that there's no explanation for what happened, as Yami Yugi was still alive outside of the Puzzle, and having mystic powers usually means the Pharaoh is immune to possession. The fact that Anubis manages to essentially invade his mind to consume it from the inside sure suggests some chilling things about the power of the Pyramid of Light.

* Kaiba summons Peten the Dark Clown and attacks the Pharaoh directly. Before Kaiba even makes the attack command, Peten's card vanishes and reappears behind the Pharaoh, after which Peten stabs him straight through the back - and through the ''heart''. The stabbing is silhouetted, but right on-screen. Even worse, being a Shadow Game, both of them ''feel the pain of the attacks''. The stab's so painful it drives the Pharaoh to his knees.

** For extra horror, think about the implications for the original series. Yugi despairs at being locked in the maze within a few minutes. Think about what being trapped in a maze with endless doors and with no sign of your identity might have done to the Pharaoh's state of mind, given that he was imprisoned for 5,000 years, and suddenly the early manga/Season 0 persona might not need to be written off as 'the early days of the series before the artist found his feet'. Who wouldn't be a little off-kilter after that?

** Another possibility (seeing as the "empty socket" appears to be flesh colored and flat, though that may just be the art style) is that Pegasus' eyelid there has been sewn shut. Which is [[BodyHorror just as terrifying]], but also [[FridgeBrilliance makes more sense]], as just leaving his eye socket open like that would probably lead to infection.

** Also, of all the things they could have censored, 4Kids ''didn't censor that!''

* The scene where Yugi follows the Pharaoh into Anubis' chamber is pretty creepy. Yami moves as though he, of all people, is possessed and compelled by Anubis' will, and doesn't respond to Yugi calling to him.

** What makes it worse is that there's no explanation for what exactly happened, as Yami Yugi was still alive outside of the Puzzle.
