History NightmareFuel / KingdomHeartsII

** the fact that he's basically having a moongasm.

* One of Sora's transformations, Antiform, [[SuperpoweredEvilSide is essentially a Heartless]].
** Oh, and [[SarcasmMode to make it even better]], it's completely random when Antiform will activate; you'll just be selecting another power-up, quite possibly one you desperately need to finish a long and difficult fight, and then suddenly Sora basically transforms into a Heartless [[JumpScare with no warning]], complete with a [[GlowingEyesOfDoom nightmare-inducing sprite]] in the HP bar.[[note:This isn't ''entirely'' true; there IS a complicated formula for determining what the odds of activating Antiform are based on your previous actions, but no casual player would possibly work it out, and there's still an element of luck.]]

** This was mentioned on a FridgeHorror page: none of the Organization members question Xemnas' apparent ability to turn them into Dusks, or assume that he is lying to bring them to heel. ''How are they so sure that he can do this?'' Have they watched him do it ''before?''

* '''Scar'''. Not only does he commit every monstrous action he did in his movie of origin, but he turns out to be so evil that he is the ''only character in the entire series'' who manages to retain his normal intelligence and body after becoming a Heartless, something ''that not even [[BigBad Xehanort]] could do without possessing Riku''.
** The lead-up to the boss fight is quite unnerving, especially if you've seen ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing''. So Simba throws Scar off of Pride Rock, as happened in the movie, and thus that's the end of Scar, right? He's hyena food now, [[TemptingFate right]]? But then ''he starts crawling back up the side of the cliff'', and the major boss theme "The Encounter" starts. No doubt most players thought "[[OhCrap Uh-oh]], this didn't happen in the movie...."

** Slightly mitigated by the fact that [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance the next time]] you visit The World That Never Was, it's more-or-less intact, meaning that it either [[UnexplainedRecovery got better]] or the world caving in on itself was actually Organization XIII's Kingdom Hearts.

* While the manga is only thinly connected to the games and is VERY cartoony, one scene in particular had a huge case of MoodWhiplash. In the game, when Shan-Yu is defeated, he just passes out. In the manga, once Sora defeated Shan-Yu, he is on the ground and is approached by Xigbar. Shan-Yu begs for more power, and what does Xigbar do? He [[http://kh13.com/zenphoto/manga/kingdom-hearts-ii/chapter-22/15.png.php shoots]] [[http://kh13.com/zenphoto/manga/kingdom-hearts-ii/chapter-22/16.png.php him]]! [[BoomHeadshot In the head]]! The manga is rated E.
** Most of the chapter has normally happy-go-lucky Sora being pushed beyond his limits. He looks absolutely pissed that Shan Yu, TheHeartless and Xigbar are keeping him from finding Riku. Well, at least until the above happens.
* Seeing [[spoiler: [[FanNickname Radiant Garden Tron]] being [[BoundAndGagged bound to a wall]] and tortured by Sark]] is horrifying enough on it's own, but [[spoiler: considering what happens to the real Tron, especially after Sora defeats him in [=KH3D=]...]]
** Regardless, seeing any character[[note]] that doesn't deserve it[[/note]] getting tortured by electrocution is horrifying. The main trio even go through with it, with the torture victims being Donald and Goofy in the game, and Sora in the manga.
*** And near the end of the arc, when Sark is grown to a giant, [[spoiler: he grabs Tron and tries to crush him. Just looking at Tron's face as he screams in pain over being crushed is enough for one's spine to freeze]]. Anyone who saw ''Film/TronLegacy'' or played ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' would really find this to be [[TooSoon just too upsetting]].
* [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kingdom_hearts_ii/v05/c037/15.html Saix's berserker state]] wouldn't look out of place in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''.
* Since the manga portrays [[MinionWithAnFInEvil Demyx]] in a slightly more positive light, you'd expect they'd also make his death relatively painless, right? [[spoiler: Only if you consider [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice getting impaled by a crapton of falling icicles]] "painless".]] BloodlessCarnage is, naturally, in full effect, but that's got to ''hurt''.

** On a quieter note, that truck next to the Memory Skyscraper. The window's cracked and the lights are blinking on and off. It's clearly crashed recently, since you can see the skidmarks on the ground in front of it... [[NothingIsScarier So who crashed, and why?]]

** When Roxas is held captive, successfully doing the final reaction command will cause The Twilight Thorn to slam against the ground in a near instant. If you are unlucky enough for the final blow being that last reaction command, the Twilight Thorn will hit the ground and the game goes into the same slo-mo that happens when you beat a boss, but this time it shows the Twilight Thorn lands face first, making it look like it's neck was broken.

* [[KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Terra's Lingering Will]] in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII [[NoExportForYou Final Mix]]'' would be scary enough without any dialogue due to being a nigh-unstoppable force of destruction in battle, but he becomes far more unsettling because, presumably due to being a living armor, [[TheUnintelligible the guy's voice]] sounds like a distorted, metallic echo. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqp4Baf15mg Witness the fight here.]]

--> '''Axel:''' "Man, oh man, even the Dusks aren't gonna crack this one."

* The game started with Roxas essentially losing his own individuality, forced to re-join Sora in spite of his desire to be his own person.

** [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kingdom_hearts_ii/v05/c037/15.html In the manga,]] Saix's berserker state wouldn't look out of place in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}''.

* One of Sora's transformations in [=KH2=], Antiform, [[SuperpoweredEvilSide is essentially a Heartless]]. [[ParanoiaFuel It's triggered at random.]]
** Actually it's not completely random. Each form (besides Final, which acts as a Nobody analogue instead), when used, adds a certain number of points to an unseen counter. The chance you'll enter Antiform increases after the points exceed certain amounts, and Final form gives a large reduction to these points. Knowing this mitigates the nightmare potential somewhat.

* The battle against Twilight Thorn at the beginning of Kingdom Hearts II. That boss is the Nobody counterpart of Darkside, and holds Roxas captive at any given possibility.

* Xemnas's OHKO attack in VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII: he's trying to forcibly tear away Sora's heart.
* In the manga, seeing [[spoiler: [[{{FanNickname}} Radiant Garden Tron]] being [[BoundAndGagged bound to a wall]] and tortured by Sark]] is horrifying enough on it's own, but [[spoiler: considering what happens to the real Tron, especially after Sora defeats him in [=KH3D=]...]]

*** ''[[WesternAnimation/TronUprising Uprising]]'' includes a scene where [[spoiler: Tron is StrappedToAnOperatingTable and tortured by [[EvilFormerFriend Dyson]], resulting in his scars and [[TookALevelInJerkass antagonism]]]]. Now that's something to try to avoid thinking about when playing the game or reading the manga.

* [[ItWasHisSled Terra's Lingering Will]] in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII [[NoExportForYou Final Mix +]]'' would be scary enough without any dialogue due to being a nigh-unstoppable force of destruction in battle, but he becomes far more unsettling because, presumably due to being a living armor, [[TheUnintelligible the guy's voice]] sounds like a distorted, metallic echo. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqp4Baf15mg Witness the fight here.]]
* While this is only thinly connected to the games and is VERY cartoony, the manga has its moments, one in particular had a huge case of MoodWhiplash . You know how when Shan-Yu gets defeated in KingdomHeartsII he just passes out? That's not it plays in the manga. Once Sora defeated Shan-Yu, he is one the ground and is approached by Xigbar. Shan-Yu begs for more power, what does Xigbar do? He [[http://kh13.com/zenphoto/manga/kingdom-hearts-ii/chapter-22/15.png.php shoots]] [[http://kh13.com/zenphoto/manga/kingdom-hearts-ii/chapter-22/16.png.php him]]! [[BoomHeadshot And in the head]]! The manga is rated E.

** Of course when Sora and Riku return to The World That Never Was it's practically undamaged which means that the world that was caving in on itself that Riku and Sora were stranded in at the end of [=KH2=] was actually the Kingdom Hearts that the Organization created and it wasn't caving into itself. It was being absorbed by Xemnas using The World of Nothingness ship which is hinted in the game files to be the outside of the strange world of nothing where the final part of the final battle takes place in.

* Losing to a Gambler or Luxord results in Sora being turned into a card or dice. [[AndIMustScream Just the look of his face when transformed]] is horrifying.
