* The books is full of illustrations by Alex Gayhart. Anyone familiar with his artstyle can be prepared for some rather gritty pictures...and the series' particularly gory moments being brought out in vivid detail.
* The pirates and the eels' assault on the party boats. First Laki's head gets a hole blown through it by a powerful gun shot. Then out of nowhere, an eel attacks Niko. He manages to get it off, but then Jun gets his face riddled with bullets. Then Jae has the half of his skull with his face torn off by another eel. Then Manu gets his hand shot. [[FromBadToWorse Then it becomes clear that the pirates and the eels are working in tandem.]] Then Shaheed's ship gets set on fire and blown up by an eel's electrical pulse (killing everyone else on it). And finally, Captain Faro arrives to take prisoners.
* CAPTAIN FARO. Easily one of the coldest and most evil human protagonists seen so far. Sure, he doesn't have the world-ending abilities that Frank Houston would have access to, but he's still a ruthless, [[GoodScarsEvilScars scarred-up]] pirate crime lord who controls the eels by force through his amulet (a mockery of the henshin amulets) and rules the Lost Continent of Oz with an iron fist. His first instinct is to sell the survivors on the slave market, and keep them imprisoned above the eels while they wait. Just an exceptionally cruel and dangerous man.
