!!The Flashback
* Possessed!Red crouching It's revealed that, after destroying Alan's computer, the first thing the Dark Lord and browsing through ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' items the Chosen One did was go on a massive rampage across the internet as they destroyed various sites and killed various characters from all over the internet. Even worse, the characters included other stick figures, something which even [[EvenEvilHasStandards the Chosen One thought was too much]]. It started out rather mild at first, but it quickly becomes terrifying as we hear screams in the background, ending things off with a genuinely chilling shot of the Dark Lord choking and preparing to kill [[WebAnimation/{{Tankmen}} the Tankman]] as the Chosen One pleads for him to stop with a destroyed Platform/{{Newgrounds}} city in the background.
* After learning about the [=ViraBot=], the Chosen One has a vision of the Dark Lord standing on top of a mountain, with countless stick figures running and screaming in fear before two [=ViraBots=] appear and kill some of them. The Chosen One's [[OhCrap reaction]] is justified for every single reason, because this was ''not'' him overthinking: The Dark Lord ''truly intended'' to rampage across the Internet and slaughter countless all because [[ForTheEvulz he took joy in it]]. Suffice to say, he is ''easily'' the darkest villain in the entire series thus far.

** Notably, despite the characters being stick figures, [[BodyHorror the Dark Lord's attacks leave visible scars on the Second Coming, which look absolutely brutal]]. In fact, [[CoveredInScars he's covered in them]].
* In its own way, the Second Coming in his SuperMode, [[FanNickname dubbed "Awakened TSC/Orange"]]. He is a completely [[TheStoic stoic]], emotionless entity that easily curb-stomps the Dark Lord and destroys the [=ViraBots=] by more or less ''touching them''. While mostly awesome, it's also chilling to see the happy and energetic hero of the series as what is more or less a force of destruction.

Despite the massive effort he puts in fighting back, the Chosen One is ultimately beaten down into submission.
* At one point during the fight, when the Chosen One really starts to get brutalized, he chooses to freeze himself solid. While it turns out he was preparing to launch a sneak attack against his enemy, for a moment it looked like the Chosen One froze himself just to get away from the pain.
* Then there's his opponent: '''''[[TheBusCameBack victim]]''''', [[MonsterProgenitor the first of the Animator's creations]]. He is nothing but ruthless, cruel, and dehumanizing to the Chosen One. After the Chosen One is too injured to fight back, victim wraps a rope around the former's neck and whips him with the other end as he treats the Chosen One like an animal.

Or, and since we later see King able to quickly improvise with Yellow and Blue when they escape, this might be more likely, 2: the Witch was supposed to ''kill them'' and the parkour trap ''was the backup for if she failed''.

Given King's timely entrance and the fact that he just so happened to enter the same world he would've known Blue and Yellow escaped to (the portal was in his fortress surrounded by his soldiers after all), it's likely he created and then destroyed the monsters to gain their trust as a Plan B.
** Remember how Purple was ruling over that other village? And how he had the same crown that King wears, and that they both gave to people they wanted as allies? And how Purple wanted the dragon egg for reasons never explained, and how he has a boss that clearly likes powerful artifacts?

* The death of Gold - King Orange's late son - is one of the scariest moments in the series and a ''horrible'' way to go out. As he's simply having a fun time, the simulator his ''Minecraft'' world ran on started glitching out, resulting in the game's Sun being replaced by a black void that explodes and starts consuming the whole world into nothingness. Gold just ''barely'' escapes the simulation before the menu is assimilated, but pieces of the void escapes out of the simulation with him and start slowly dragging him back into the ''Minecraft'' world, Gold desperately trying to reach the door that would let him out of the attraction as he glitches out, pieces of his body flying into the void. But it's all for naught, as he's suddenly thrown back into the ''Minecraft'' world, him panicking before the whole simulation crashes, thus killing him. Given how he was ForcedToWatch his own son die such a brutal death, can you really blame King Orange for being who he is in the present?
** Also, just ''how'' Gold was finished off: Halfway through his panic, he realises he can still see the ''Minecraft'' Sun glowing through the glitches. As he looks at it, ''it '''[[StarKilling explodes]]''''', and we can very briefly seen Gold ''exploding into little pieces'' before the system crashes. Mind you, ''[[DeathOfAChild he was still just a little kid]]'', and he had the single most horrifying death in the whole series.
** At first, after witnessing King Orange's backstory, you might expect that everything he's done is in an effort to open some kind of portal bring his son back. You'd be wrong, [[KilledOffForReal Gold is simply]] ''[[CessationOfExistence gone]]'', there's nothing to bring back and King Orange knows it.

Made worse by it's how it ''moves'', with the Warden and Ravager aspects clearly not fitting together properly in either form or function. Both of the Abominations are happily taken care of by Herobrine very quickly, though it's clear they would've been as dangerous as King Orange himself if they got to live.
* Even though he's on the side of good, [[HorrifyingHero Herobrine is still particularly menacing]] with how he slowly hovers over to fight King Orange and delivers a brutal beatdown. The stare he gives as he realises his students in danger help to frame him as ''incredibly'' furious and angry.
* You know the void that King Orange opened up at the end of the previous episode?

Once the Stick Gang's allies are killed off, we get to see the black hole consume all the ''Minecraft'' worlds - the Titan Ravager Village, the Monster School, and even the Witch's Hut - into it, with the mobs panicking for their lives as they're sucked inside. Once King Orange dies, we still get to see the world collapsing in the background, which looks beautiful yet scary.
* When the Stick Gang tries to take down King Orange, he sends them flying into the beam he uses to power up his black hole: Just being inside the beam for a few seconds results in them glitching, with pixels floating off them, just like with Gold. It even kills Purple and King Orange for a bit!

* The Orb returns and, while no King Orange or Dark Lord, it's still a rather menacing foe. It's actually ''creepier'' then the last time we saw it, being more clearly a DigitalAbomination that sends everything it touches into chaos, its final form being a ''very powerful'' hybrid of dozens of staffs, with it at the centre. While it doesn't express body language due to the limited nature of its vessel, it's still very clearly sapient and evil, even roaring when attacked by Red's bees.

* "Backrooms" takes Second Coming into the titular Backrooms when trying to dig for the coin he lost in the couch. It's got the same eerie vibes as the source material, and it's not at all mitigated by the fact it's AllJustADream. The clip ends with Second Coming finding that same coin and looping to the beginning of the short, bringing question whether or not [[OrWasItADream it actually was a dream]].

* The Witch proves to be too much for gang as she has them at her non-existent mercy twice in the final fight. Both times they're saved by a BigDamnHeroes intervention. But that by itself isn't the scary part. The scary part is that Purple, who we know was plotting to capture them, just happened to be in that world. Add in the fact that the Witch knew enough about the group to bait them into her world in the first place, and it becomes likely that the Witch was working for Orange. This leaves two options, 1: she was just supposed to imprison them and let Purple 'save' them to gain their trust so they would be more likely to do the parkour trap, but she went rogue and tried to kill them. Or, and since we later see Orange able to quickly improvise with Yellow and Blue when they escape, this might be more likely, 2: the Witch was supposed to ''kill them'' and the parkour trap ''was the backup for if she failed''.

* Orange, after learning that Green escaped, erases the AI of one of his piglins, with all the dark music to make the atmosphere scarier.

* With how the villagers react, it's clear the Titan Ravagers had never been seen before in this world. Not to mention how they seem to have come from nowhere. Given Orange's timely entrance and the fact that he just so happened to enter the same world he would've known Blue and Yellow escaped to (the portal was in his fortress surrounded by his soldiers after all), it's likely he created and then destroyed the monsters to gain their trust as a Plan B.
** Remember how Purple was ruling over that other village? And how he had the same crown that Orange wears, and that they both gave to people they wanted as allies? And how Purple wanted the dragon egg for reasons never explained, and how he has a boss that clearly likes powerful artifacts? Now put all that together, and wonder why Orange would have a portal to a random village in the middle of his palace with a bunch of powerful monsters ready to be unleashed at a moments notice.

* We now know that Orange and Purple's intentions were; Create a gigantic black void that sucks everything into it, [[BadBoss including their underlings]]. While we don't know just what they would do afterwards, the most likely conclusion is that they were just {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s.

** Even worse is that it looks ''eerily'' similar to how the Chosen One looked with the ball and chain as a pop-up blocker- almost as if victim is ''deliberately'' trying to trigger that trauma.

* The Chosen One has a horrific experience in "The Box". He's trapped in a large box that can disable his abilities while and grant his opponent superhuman powers. Despite the massive effort he puts in fighting back, the Chosen One is ultimately beaten down into submission.

* Then there's Second Coming relearning about his powers. TraumaInducedAmnesia is the reason why he forgot about his powers, so when he learns he actually had them to begin with, he's terrified of ''himself''. This also causes a high-alert lockdown to be enforced on him, with Second Coming banging on the walls demanding an explanation.

* The Chosen One has a brutal experience in "The Box". He's trapped in a large box that can disable his abilities while and grant his opponent superhuman powers. Despite the massive effort he puts in fighting back, the Chosen One is ultimately beaten down into submission.
* Then there's his opponent: the Animator's first stick figure, victim. He is nothing but ruthless, cruel, and dehumanizing to the Chosen One. After the Chosen One is too injured to fight back, victim wraps a rope around the former's neck and whips him with the other end as he treats the Chosen One like an animal.
* Why is victim even attacking the Chosen One to begin with? He wants information about the Animator. This means the beatdown the Chosen One was subjected to was basically a ''[[ColdBloodedTorture torture session]].''
