"Oh, are they, now?" Rubbing his hands together, the man gave the assistant a terrifying grin. "Good, very good. As long as they're well-fed, my operation won't fall to the likes of the Keybearer."\\

* The first fic's [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Pleasure Island]] arc is disturbingly faithful to the source material.
** As the heroes approached the darkness-shrouded world of PleasureIsland, [[HellIsThatNoise the Highwind's warning radar began to beep more and more rapidly]], contrasting the bright and colourful atmosphere of the carnival within the world. Riku's excitement soon turned to horror when he saw young boys being provided with liquor and tobacco and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating each other senseless]]. [[DotingParent Goofy]] was noticeably unsettled.

** The Coachman runs an interworldly [[WouldHurtAChild child]] [[HumanTrafficking trafficking ring]], luring away young boys who lost their homeworlds and [[ForcedTransformation turning them into donkeys]] to be [[MadeASlave sold into slavery]]. Even worse, it's all but said that the donkeys that can still talk are [[EatenAlive fed to]] [[Characters/KingdomHeartsHeartless the Heartless]]. [[FridgeHorror How many children have suffered this fate?]]

** Upon realizing that Pinocchio is in danger of turning into a donkey, the heroes return for him only to find that he and Lampwick are ''already in the process of transforming into donkeys.''

* ''The Antipode'' has a darker ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' adaptation that is faithful to the original film, donkeys and all.
** As the heroes approached the darkness-shrouded world of Pleasure Island, [[HellIsThatNoise the Highwind's warning radar began to beep more and more rapidly]], contrasting the bright and colourful atmosphere of the carnival within the world.

[[DotingParent Goofy]] was noticeably unsettled.
** When night fell, the island took on a more eerie appearance, the carnival reassembling a ghost town. Hordes of Neoshadows swarm the premises, prompting them to take refuge in the snooker building.
** The heroes soon see children-turned-donkeys being [[ATasteOfTheLash whipped]] (eliciting childlike screams) and [[MadeASlave sold into slavery]]. One child is implied to have been [[WouldHurtAChild fed to]] TheHeartless. [[FridgeHorror How many children have suffered this fate?]]

* Elsa being [[TheCorruption corrupted]] with a shard of [[MagicMirror enchanted glass]], [[AccentuateTheNegative amplifying her darkest thoughts]] (in a [[JustForPun chilling]] callback to the [[Literature/TheSnowQueen original fairy tail]]). Keep in mind that Elsa is powerful enough to bring forth an eternal winter, so a BrainwashedAndCrazy Elsa on a [[TheCorruption darkness-induced]] [[UnstoppableRage rampage]] makes for a terrifying opponent.

* Much like [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing Scar]] in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', [[WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective Ratigan]] [[MadeOfEvil has so much darkness in his heart]] that he retains his identity and sentience upon turning into a Heartless. His physical appearance was unchanged save for [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing yellow eyes]] and his [[FauxAffablyEvil gentlemanly facade]] began to evaporate completely, replaced with sheer animistic fury.

** The [[MadnessMantra narration]] from Elsa's perspective is nothing short of chilling.

* At one point, Nahxs gives Dark Elsa a BreakingSpeech in hopes of pushing her to succumb to darkness. As he does, Elsa seethes and thrashes with murderous fury, slamming her head against the bars and letting out an otherworldly scream.

** The narration from Elsa's perspective is nothing short of chilling.

--->''You never let me go. Always clawing at my door, driving me ''insane''. You didn't want a sister; you wanted a ''toy''. You'd wake me in the middle of the night, ''demanding'' we'd build a snowman. You'd push me harder and harder... Until I finally pushed ''back''.''\\
''Don't you see, Anna? All this darkness… All this ''rage'' that I've hidden for so long; it's all because of ''you''.''\\
'''''Why couldn't you ''stay'' dead?'''''

-->''If King Agnarr ''could'' see you now, his poor heart would be eviscerated from ''fear'', no stray icicle necessary. But Agnarr was no great king. He took one look at his miraculous daughter and saw only a witch to imprison. But I see so much more than that. I see a ''goddess'' of a Nobody ''clawing'' to be set free. And you will be. Once that heart succumbs completely to darkness…and your corpse awakens as our Number XV.''\\
''But something’s holding you back. Perhaps the glass wasn’t enough to break your heart. If not, I know what’ll do the trick. Keep beating your head against these bars, and maybe you’ll break free in time to see Anna drop dead at the altar.''

* The scene where Goofy tries to reason with Dark Elsa is wrought with tension.

** The worst part is: Elsa has no control over her actions and is ForcedToWatch as she verbally abuses and tries to kill her own sister, only for her new friend to [[TakingTheBullet take the blow]].

* [[EvilPrince Hans]]/[[RoguesGalleryTransplant Nahxs]]. A man so depraved that he willingly cast away his own heart and became a [[TheSoulless Nobody]], Hans's [[BitchInSheepsClothing charisma]] is matched only by his [[LackOfEmpathy complete disregard for life]]. He blends in so well with the world of Arendelle that nobody even suspects he's an outsider. His charisma is such that he can more-or-less control the tone of a conversation. Even when the heroes discover his true identity, Hans manipulates Anna into believing his side of the story whilst agreeing to marry her.

* [[EvilPrince Hans]]/[[RoguesGalleryTransplant Nahxs]]. A man so depraved that he willingly cast away his own heart and became a [[TheSoulless Nobody]] long before meeting the Organization. Hans is every bit as [[TheUnfettered ruthless]] and [[BitchInSheepsClothing charismatic]] as he is in the [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 original film]], successfully [[ManipulativeBastard deceiving]] not only [[PoorJudgeOfCharacter Anna]], but the majority of the heroes. He blends in so well with the world of Arendelle that nobody even suspects that he's from another world.
