Remember, this is not just a mecha story. For a mecha series, 86 EIGHTY-SIX is probably one of the darkest mecha series in recent years. As one [[WebVideo/MothersBasement one YouTuber]] says, this series makes mech warfare feel '''''too real.'''''

* What happens when the most genocidal and mentally insane person becomes assimilated into a superweapon capable of immensely violent destruction? The Morpho, controlled by the absolutely unhinged Kiriya.
** How unhinged? Whenever Shin hears the thoughts of Kiriya, he is seen repeating his mantra, seeking just to kill. Nothing else but to kill. Even the Legion questions his actions and requests for him to undergo reconditioning.

** The military leadership of San Magnolia thought that the war against the Legion would be over in two years from the start of the series, right? Oh, they are wrong. ''Very wrong.'' The Legion, unsurprisingly to the reader/viewer, has found one important way to continue. How? Just use the brain of any recently deceased person, and the Legion can keep functioning on and on. Remember, '''''They've been doing this for years,''''' and nobody in San Magnolia except Lena truly knew the implications until it was too late.

*Just what the Eighty-Six have to go through is chilling, to say the least. Though the reasons for the racism against them are ridiculous (and rightfully so), the treatment is disturbing on its own.
** By the time of the series, most, if not, nearly all of the Juggernaut Processors are all just kids, very often no older than 18. In just 9 years, so many 86ers were thrown into the Legion's hands, that ''only'' the kids are available. No wonder Theo understandably just snaps at Lena in Episode 3.
** You want to know how badly the 86ers can be treated by San Magnolia? Well, to the point that those converted into Shepherds for the Legion view their assimilation as an ''improvement''.
*Shinei Nouzen. There's a good reason his Handlers either quit very quickly or just kill themselves, as Lena found out in a horrifying way.
** His ability to hear the thoughts of the "Black Sheep" units, specifically their final dying moments, the voice of the dead. And very often, those thoughts all occur together at once like a crowd whenever there are masses of Legion forces. If its Combined with a Para-RAID, EVERYONE will hear what Shin is hearing.
