All spoilers on this page are left unmarked. You Have Been Warned!
The face of horror. And don't get us started on their laughter.
- Episode 1:
- A minor point especially compared to everything else coming, but the fact that Fujimaru and Mash's first encounter with the Demonic Beasts are shown to be Bloodier and Gorier compared to what viewers (likely long-time Fate/Grand Order players) are used to, shows how brutal in fact, your fights tend to be. On a Fridge Brilliance note, it also explains how it is possible for you to extract materials/body parts out of them.
- Episode 3:
- A proper horror appears in The Stinger of this episode, where it seems a number of Uruk's warriors have been captured and sacrificed to "Tiamat"/Gorgon. One is shown being bisected as they are being eaten.
- Episode 4:
- The opening of the episode is a Call-Back to the denouement of the London Singularity: Solomon wiping out the team of Servants you were fighting with at the time. It's unsettling to see all those featured (Kintoki, Tamamo-no-Mae, Andersen and especially Mordred—all powerful Servants in-lore and in-game), fall defeated and/or dead without resistance.
- The seemingly-pacific town of Ur is implied to have been forced to engage in Human Sacrifice (especially of its battle-ready men) to appease the "forest goddess" that took over them—later revealed to be the goofy-yet-lethal Jaguarman. While Jaguarman claims she only engages them in forced labor, the fact that this is just a step away from what "Tiamat"/Gorgon has been shown doing doesn't exactly give confidence.
- Episode 6
- A large part of the episode involves Fujimaru & co. going to the town of Kuth, where everybody who lived there died sleep-like deaths. Right after they arrived, everything was very eerie, but when they decide to split up it gets much worse. Not long after splitting, Fujimaru and Fou suddenly find themselves in a dark cave, followed by them running into the spirits of the dead, revealing that they went to the underworld. The spirits try to strangle Fujimaru to death so that he joins them forever, only stopped by a combination Fou shouting at them and the old man they met in Uruk sending them away.
- After that whole ordeal, plus a chance encounter with Ishtar, the group decides to wait until nightfall. This turns out to be a bad idea, as the souls of the dead come back to life to try and claim their lives in the land of the living. Due to none of them being good for dealing with a horde of undead, they only escape thanks to the whims of Ishtar (Actually Ereshkigal)
- Episode 7
- When Ushiwakamaru attacks a Demonic Beast, she kills it with a Slasher Smile.
- The Fake Enkidu reveals to Gilgamesh's men that the Demonic Beasts are made of people and attempts to kill Ana (and still defeats her despite Merlin's help and one-shot an Ungallu). She would be dead if it weren't for Merlin ordering Fou to teleport her.
- Gorgon's debut in a truly a waking nightmare for those gathered. Imagine you are a soldier, doing your normal routine of fighting demonic beasts, and then Gorgon-Medusa appears. This is titan of monster, far bigger than anything you have faced. And those supernatural warriors your king summoned to deal with this threat? They are terrified of this thing.
- Episode 8
- The scene of Ushiwakamaru being held captive in the Bloodfort. The entire chamber looks like it's made out of flesh, and there are pods lining the walls. As Kingu speaks, several of the pods open, each birthing an Uridimmu. Furthermore, when Ushiwakamaru says something to Kingu that he doesn't like, Kingu shoves his hand into her stomach, drawing blood and putting her through pain for the rest of the scene.
- The way some of Ushiwakamaru's clones go out is rather graphic. Special mention goes to one that is heavily implied to have been torn apart by 5 snake heads.
- Episode 10: Quetzalcoatl's Game Face which is even more frightening than in the game since besides her razor sharp teeth and narrowed eyes, purple mist seems to exit her mouth each time she makes the face.
- Episode 12: When Ishtar talks about the last time she went to Kur, we see her as a black outline behind a red background as seven spears pierce her.
- Episode 14: When Fujimaru and his Servants enter the Bloodfort. Merlin warns everyone it won't be a pretty sight, Mash witnesses a human silhouette in one of the cocoons trying to reach out... YIKES. Ishtar herself is properly horrified, even though she only darkly notes Gorgon has to die for this.
- Episode 15 : The Lahmu, full stop. Everything about them is creepy, from their design, to their movements, to their voices. Not helping matters is their utter sadism toward humans. They wantonly murder, are perfectly willing to hunt down children, and force humans to fight each other to the death for no reason other than their own amusement. Oh, and then they murder the winner anyway. And their laughter. Dear God, their laughter is horrifying.
- It's worse when one of the Lahmu that Fujimaru and the group encounter is all but said to be Siduri. What kind of hell did she have to go through to be turned into that?
- Episode 17: The sheer size of Tiamat's true form is enough to render Fujimaru and the Servants utterly speechless in mind-breaking terror once it decides to actually appear in person. All rendered in CGI just to further empathize how eldritch its entire existence is compared to the rest of reality.
- Episode 18: Despite truly herculean efforts from Quetzalcoatl and her kick that killed the dinosaurs Tiamat was still able to walk away from it with naught but a crack on her horn. Not only that Word of God says that she is still holding back her full strength meaning she could have easily blocked the attack.
- Episode 19: Tiamat's regression to her form from the Jurassic Period takes the Eldritch Abomination aspects of her previous Titan form and turns them up to eleven. She reverts to a quadrupedal form, wings sprout out of her back, and she takes on numerous draconic aspects. However, she maintains certain humanoid aspects, such as her chest and face (though the latter comes with a jaw that both contains More Teeth than the Osmond Family and runs all the way down to her throat). On top of all that, she's even bigger than her previous form. Lastly, she's rendered entirely in CG, which helps drive home just how horrifying she is. And the first thing she does is unleash a powerful wave of the Chaos Tide that threatens to envelop the entire underworld. Even Ereshkigal, who holds authority over everything within the underworld, is too weak to stop her. When Merlin says that Fujimaru has never faced anything like her before, he's absolutely right.
- Episode 20: Ally or not, seeing the First Hassan taking bites from the Bel Lahmu after being too injured to use his sword was incredibly disturbing.
- What drives the Mook Horror Show home is the execution: the Bel Lahmu stabs Hassan, who doesn't flinch and clinically assesses the situation... The cackling Bel Lahmu stops laughing before a sliver of doubt passes its mouth... while Hassan removes his veil, blue flames coming from where his mouth should be... his shadow looming over the Bel Lahmu going Oh, Crap!. Cue biting noises. Now you wonder WHO the real inhuman monster is.
