** Washington was very much left traumatized by his experiences with the original Meta, arguing that Meta!Tucker will ''not'' stop until they are all dead and panickedly '''''begging''''' for the team to listen to him. You can hear the frustration and outright ''fear'' in his voice.
** The sight of the Reds getting beaten down by the new Meta hurt to watch knowing that it's Tucker doing it, likely not even out of his own volition.

** He dies saving Caboose from The Meta, finally realizing that even though Caboose is a Blue, he's still one of them. Right when [[HopeSpot it seems like they made it out okay]] he gets [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice stabbed by Tucker's sword though the door to the ship]].
** As Sarge lays dying, he says goodbye to everyone to everyone, making peace with them all, even Grif, who he admits he was only mean to because he knew he could be so much better and never lost faith in.
* After the battle, Wash wonders what they can do with the capture unit, thinking they can hide it somewhere it won't fall into the wrong hands. Instead, Caboose follows Tex's plan, and [[ShootTheDog destroys it himself]], ensuring the AI fragments can never come back, including Tex and Church. He knows he did the right thing, but still says it was hard and walks off to be sad alone for a while.
* Washington is constantly seen with Doc, with it being said Doc saved Wash during the final battle on Chorus, which resulted in Wash being put in a UNSC hospital. The ending reveals that Doc actually ''[[KilledOffscreen died during this]]'', and what Wash has been speaking to the whole time is just his memory of Doc, being his ImaginaryFriend. Carolina knows that Wash has been doing this frequently, and assures him Doc's death wasn't his fault.

** While played for laughs at first, Grif's upbringing, as brought up by O'Malley, makes Grif's mannerisms pretty harsh in hindsight. Turns out that as a kid, Grif's parents constantly favored his sister over him (explaining his constant hostility towards others), his father wasn't exactly "stable" (resulting in Grif's consistent antagonism to order), and after his mother ran off to join the circus, apart from being left to take care of his sister on his own, the utter humiliation Grif felt is what lead to Grif's binge-eating hobbies. It's hard not to pity Grif, as he can only lower his head in shame after being reminded of his horrible childhood, and so broken that he can only whimper "It was a nice circus". [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Even Doc realizes he crossed a line.]]

* As of episode 13 it is revealed that [[FridgeHorror quite nearly all of the tragedy]] [[NightmareFuel of the series]] [[TearJerker could have been avoided if]] Carolina [[ForWantOfANail had done a few things differently.]]

* During Episode 10, after a long-winded argument between Grif, Huggins, Tucker, Sister, and Donut, when Grif and Huggins reveal Donut's "God" is actually the new BigBad and is trying to make them ruin the timeline with a vague warning, Donut screams for everyone to just listen to him. Tucker blankly asks "Why would we ever do that?" showing how he and the others have no respect for Donut or anything he says.
* The ending of episode 13. Immediately after Wash's outrage at the reveal that Carolina kept his brain damage a secret from him and storming off, Donut steals The Hammer due to having [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal suffered through everyone's insults one time too many]].
-->'''Donut:''' Gullible... Stupid... An empty suit of armor? Thanks for making this easier, guys.

* The official trailer for the season/movie hits us with a few more.
** The Meta has returned, to the surprise of many, though this time around he's a lot more talkative than usual. While in the midst of a fight with Caboose, the Meta's adaptive camouflage falters, [[WhamShot revealing a very familiar cyan color to his armor.]] Coupled with him brandishing an Energy Sword in a later scene, it paints a horrifying picture: '''''[[RogueProtagonist Tucker has become the new Meta.]]'''''

* The fact that this is billed as the ''final season'' of ''Red vs. Blue''. Twenty years of watching two groups of idiots in blue and red armor is finally coming to an end.
* "Prologue" is a short, but bitter preview of what's to come. Epsilon has apparently been running millions of simulations, introducing various variables and factors as if looking for a specific outcome, only both Epsilon and the mysterious figure note that no matter how many of these simulations he runs, Epsilon always ends up "in the same place". What really makes this depressing is how ''tired'' Epsilon sounds. What's more, it's heavily implied this is all taking place at the end of the ''Chorus Trilogy'', mere moments away from when Epsilon breaks himself apart to give Tucker a boost.

** The music that plays during both versions of this scene, a haunting melody by Trocadero called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWch8np7cO8 "Fifty."]] This music really communicates that these characters have suffered so much because of the director and that all they can do is say goodbye, no matter how much they hate good byes.
