Nightmare Fuel / Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters

Go To

  • Mission 3, which is not unlike a Zombie Apocalypse.
  • Overheated Ryūji is badass, but his way of fighting is extremely sadistic and horrifying even for Sentai standards. No wonder Yōko was scared out of her pants.
    • For that matter, both Yōko's and Hiromu's weakpoints border on And I Must Scream. Sure, they're both funny at first, but what happens if Yoko suddenly runs out of energy during a battle. What if Hiromu suddenly starts freezing at a crucial moment? The series goes in great depth as to how these weakpoints are just as dangerous as Ryuji's, as the Vaglass go out of their way to exploit them many times over.
  • The Reveal that Messiah absorbed the scientists and the Go-Busters loved ones during the incident from 13 years ago. This leads to the rangers unfortunately having to kill their loved ones with Messiah to take him down.
  • Enter after his defeat in Mission 30. Somehow him becoming more stoic and calm with only occasional traces of his troll-like persona remaining makes him even more disturbing than he already was.
  • Escape's Megazord's debut. She takes Enter and CRUSHES him using the Megazord's hands. It's pretty graphic for a show like this and there's the crushing sound to make everything better.
  • Messiah Reboot. The design is disturbing enough, but the fact the dang thing towers over the Go-Buster's machines to the point it could hold one of the base Buster Machines in its hand like a toy.
  • Escape's gradual decay in sanity after her revival. At first it's cute, but it gradually gets more and more disturbing as she loses control of her prior personality and becomes a mere shadow of who she was.
  • Enter revealing that Hiromu is his Soul Jar, meaning that no matter what happens to him; so long as Hiromu is alive, he'll come back too.
  • Hiromu fully willing and able to commit Murder-Suicide if it means Enter gets taken down for good. It doesn't work thankfully.
