Go To

Considering how Earth is currently on hold and Hell is barely any better than Heaven, you're bound to come across these.


  • The laboratory in Yetzirah. 'Imperfect' angels are used as living lab-rats and kept awake and conscious constantly to observe their nerve-reactions to all the experimenting.
  • Stakers. It's a term used for angels whose brains have been altered and doctored with specific needles to eradicate and avoid 'unnecessary thoughts'. This may also include limiting certain physical actions.
  • In the anime, Setsuna gets his arm torn off in slow, graphic detail by a Golem. That’s right, a Golem tore the arm off an angel. Slowly.
  • The idea that God doesn't love us and created us only as an experiment.
  • The terrifying and deranged Sandalphon and what he does to Lailah.
  • Heaven and Hell are just as corrupted and terrible as Earth. Heaven as humans imagined it is a mirage.
  • What happens to an angel once its wings get cut off.
  • After being mortally wounded on Earth, Katan's body turns into a writhing mess of flesh and wires resting in a casket with Rosiel sending in bodies to feed him including children. We don't fully see what his body looks like except for some thick wires and a ghastly silhouette but that alone makes it truly unnerving.
