  • Bakuryu's ending in the first Bloody Roar was horrific. For clarification, it's revealed that his molecules are unstable, and he melts onscreen. Adding to the horror, the scientists watching don't give a crap, merely acknowledging his death.
  • Fox's ending was just as bad, as he became a Self-Made Orphan after killing his mother accidentally during a frenzy, and then his screams of anguish slip into insane laughter.
  • Everything Buzusima does in 2, whether abducting and brainwashing Kenji into being his personal assassin and then forcing him to fight his surrogate father Yugo, turning his (former) best friend into a freaky abomination, and creating a terrorist group led by Long's insane clone. Small wonder he was subject to Villain Decay in later installments.
    • The brainwashing scene itself deserves a mention, since all we see is a really creepy image of the bad doctor himself as Kenji is very brutally turned into Bakuryu. He recovers... right after beating the crap out of Yugo, where he promptly decides the only way to atone for his misdeeds is to kill himself. He is only saved due to Gado's interference.
    • As a capper, said image is never used again. Not even in the doc's own story mode.
    • The Mad Scientist has his own story mode story, with images that range from midly creepy to What the actual Fuck? The worst of them is the one before he fights Uriko, where he literally looms over her, looking for all the world like a pedophile while Uriko looks terrified.
    • Stun's unstable zoanthrope power as a result of Busuzima's "man-made zoanthrope" experiment; Stun cannot fully morph into insect form but cannot turn back to human form either. To prevent his body from decaying, he needs to either get the DNA stabilizer only Busuzima can create (which means Stun has to ask his enemy for favor) or drink fresh human blood (which means Stun has to commit murder).
  • Shen Long's story images are creepy enough that even the Narm of the writing is mitigated:
    • First appearance: He just stares at the screen with no real facial expression at all.
    • Victory: He's smiling, holding up his arm with it being heavily implied that he disemboweled you. This happens even when he fights Uriko.
    • Defeat: The worst one, as his battered face is much closer to the screen, his mouth is now significantly more open and his smile is deranged, and he's bleeding from one eye.
  • The fact that Xion's zoanthrope form is the product of demonic possession.
