History NightmareFuel / MetalGearRisingRevengeance

* In the intro of both the main game and the Jetstream Sam DLC, Sam is shown bisecting cyborgs in half vertically. Compared to other cyborgs who mostly get bisected at the waist or get decapitated, thus left in painful agony (not that they would feel it) until they're either completely destroyed (Desperado and World Martial affiliated cyborgs) or recovered (most other cyborgs, like Raiden and N'mani's guards and soldiers), it seemed to be a pretty quick and painless way to go, right? '''Except Mistral shows that you can survive vertical bisection for a least half a minute, and you will be fully conscious about it.'''

* The early concepts of Armstrong's [[http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130403084209/metalgear/images/3/32/Tumblr_mjh0qir5Vb1ra3yaho1_1280.png.jpg nanomachine enhancements]] were absolutely terrifying.

'''Raiden:''' ''[smugly]'' Now you're just being nasty. ''[{{evil laugh}}]'' [[RedBaron That nickname that you love so much]]... [[ImpliedDeathThreat wanna know how I got it?]] Actually... Why don't I give you a demonstration? I think it's time for Jack... ''[[LetsGetDangerous to let 'er rip!]]''

'''Raiden:''' ''[smugly]'' Now you're just being nasty. ''[{{evil laugh}}]'' [[TheRedBaron That nickname that you love so much]]... [[ImpliedDeathThreat wanna know how I got it?]] Actually... Why don't I give you a demonstration? I think it's time for Jack... ''[[LetsGetDangerous to let 'er rip!]]''

** His laugh puts him right in the UncannyValley, as his jaw just flaps about like that of a crazy, half-skeletal puppet.

* Senator Armstrong after he [[IAmNotLeftHanded activates his nanites]]. His eyes [[RedEyesTakeWarning turn red]], blood vessels bulge out and cover his body, and every time he needs to deliver a haymaker or gets hit by Raiden, his skin turns a mechanical dark grey for a second before going back. After getting used to thinking of him as just a well-built politician in a suit, it's rather freaky to see him reveal himself as something akin to a more obviously [[UncannyValley inhuman]] cyborg (albeit not traditional cyborg tech, but nanomachines[[note]]([[MemeticMutation son]])[[/note]]). Even worse, if you look closely at his skin near where the greyish color ends, you can see red and veins on his skin. This can have the effect of looking like blood, almost as if [[BodyHorror the nanomachines' armor tears through his skin, then regenerates it at high speed]].

** Khamsin's arms look almost like [[{{Squick}} exposed muscle]]. He's also even more heavily modified than the other Winds of Destruction, having essentially replaced everything below his waist with a mass of wires and tentacles.

** In the Denver server room even more brains are shown, and Sundowner even strokes one as it trembles in muted terror.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[CombatSadomasochist Pain]]... this is why I fight...]]

* Raiden's Jack the Ripper persona is an AxCrazy sociopath who [[CombatSadomasochist gets off on killing and slicing into people as well as being stabbed himself]]. At the end of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z-0zp5wnZ0 Jack The Ripper trailer]], Raiden even [[PutTheLaughterInSlaughter maniacally laughs as he slices down multiple foes]]. To quote the man himself: "Pain. This is why I fight."
** The fact that laughing puts Raiden right in the UncannyValley as his jaw just flaps about like a crazy skull puppet.
** He's so crazy that even Monsoon is frightened by him. One of the possible lines from Monsoon when you finally finish him off has him frantically pleading for Raiden to stop, even though Monsoon himself is an extreme pessimist who hates the world.
*** To add onto this, Monsoon is heavily disturbed by Raiden's sudden transformation, which goes to show just how frightening it is; after all, Monsoon grew up under the regime of the Khmer Rouge, one of the most brutal regimes in history.
-->'''Monsoon''': You've lost your mind...

-->'''Raiden''': [[TheRedBaron That nickname that you love so much]]... [[ImpliedDeathThreat Wanna know how I got it? Actually... Why don't I give you a demonstration?]] I think it's time for Jack... '''''TO LET 'ER RIP!'''''
* Raiden's SlasherSmile is extra creepy, as his [[BodyHorror lower jaw has no skin or lips]].
** In [[http://youtu.be/Gb3bl9F9kRo?t=2m30s this trailer]] you can see him adjusting his dislocated jaw.

** Mistral is MultiArmedAndDangerous and gets new arms from mini-gekkos by violently tearing them off; she's also a major CombatSadomasochist, openly relishing both inflicting and receiving pain during her battle.
** Monsoon can [[BodyHorror break his body apart]] [[DetachmentCombat as necessary]], suggesting, like Raiden, most of his body from the neck down is gone. [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/metalgear/images/d/da/DDiqY4tWAAMnqGZ.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170718101006 Concept art]] also indicates his eyes are hard-wired into his helmet.
** While not as immediately terrifying as the others, Sundowner can be pretty scary too, thanks to the [[BloodKnight sheer, unadulterated glee]] he shows when he gets into a fight and his ungodly creepy [[SlasherSmile Slasher Smiles]].

* The whole encounter with Jetstream Sam during the prologue chapter. Sam [[EyeScream slashes Raiden's eye out]] and [[AnArmAndALeg slices off his arm]], then the game screen becomes screwy and static-y as Raiden is struggling to move and has incredibly low health, and Sam slowly creeps up on him...
* When Raiden has to fight against enemy cyborgs while being forced to hear [[MookHorrorShow their horrified thoughts at having to engage him]], and later enters [[AxeCrazy Ripper Mode]] for the first time in game after Monsoon and Sam's combined BreakingSpeech, moments after being impaled through the stomach and disabling his pain inhibitors. The entire scene becomes awash in black and white [[RedEyesTakeWarning as his right eye snaps open]] and seconds later a trio of {{Mooks}} have been forcefully separated from their torsos via sword as our hero [[EvilLaugh cackles maniacally]].
** How terrifying is Jack? If you do well enough against Monsoon, when you go to [[FinishingMove Zandatsu]] him, his default retort of "[[DefiantToTheEnd Do as you please!]]" is replaced by him - a nihilist who believes with complete conviction in the utter worthlessness of all human life - ''[[AintTooProudToBeg desperately screaming for mercy]]''.
-->'''Monsoon:''' Stop! STOP IT!!
* Senator Armstrong after he [[IAmNotLeftHanded activates his nanites]]. His eyes [[RedEyesTakeWarning turn red]], his arteries bulge out and cover his body, and every time he needs to deliver a haymaker or gets hit by Raiden, his skin turns a mechanical gray for a second before going back. After getting used to thinking of him as a politician in a suit, it's rather freaky to see him reveal himself as something akin to a more obviously [[UncannyValley inhuman]] cyborgs. Unlike most, it's not Cyborg tech but Nanomachines[[note]][[MemeticMutation Son]][[/note]]. Even worse, if you look closely at his skin near where the greyish color ends, you can see red and veins on his skin. This can have the effect of looking like blood, almost as if [[BodyHorror the Nanomachines are tearing the armor through his skin, then regenerating him at high speed]].
--> '''Senator Armstrong''': [[NightmareRetardant "Nanomachines, son."]]
* The rooms full of human brains placed into cyborg casings in the third and fifth chapters. They're brains stuck into little casings with just a pair of separate eyes and a dangling spine like device. The still living brains are terrified in this state, and when you enter a room full of them, they all stare at you at once. The fact that these brains once belonged to ''kidnapped children'' makes it all the worse.
** In the Denver server room even more brains are shown, and Sundowner even strokes one as it undulates in muted terror.
** Capping it all off is the way Sundowner casually reveals that all the important staff are long gone, and they've got offices all around the world. ''How many other facilities like this are out there?''
* Performing Zandatsu on Senator Armstrong. While it is very much awesome, you were previously ripping out fuel cells from cyborgs. The final battle has you ripping out someone's nanomachine-laced heart and crushing it while it still beats.
* How Sam loses his arm. He slices off Armstrong's hand, leaving a crude, black-armored point. Armstrong knocks him to the floor and drives the sharpened point through his shoulder. The normally cool and collected Sam has a look of absolute horror on his face, and there's a shot of the arm twitching in its death throes and going limp.
* The Mastiff, an ape-like Unmanned Gear with grenade launchers on its hands and a penchant for beating trespassers into pulp. Mix that with a BlackoutBasement level in the underground railroad in R-03, and you're in for a pretty scary experience.
** Those enemies get a mention on their own because of how vicious and animalistic they are; they beat their chests like actual gorillas before fighting, and often actively ignore their grenade launchers in favour of punching, kicking, and strangling their targets. Not to mention they're the DemonicSpiders of the game. And on [[HarderThanHard Revengeance Mode]], you have to fight one of them right near the start of the very first mission. Have fun.
* Even the MUSIC for the game can be scary. Case in point; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dPaVk4G1jg Collective Consciousness]], the semi-final boss theme, is utterly terrifying. Heavy beats, screeching dubstep sounds and guitars, distorted electronic noises, and the brutally fast pace all make it really intimidating. And the lyrics are frightening too, speaking of [[BreadAndCircuses keeping the masses under control while the world falls apart around them,]] sounding like something that would fit the Law faction in ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei''. Those growling voices near the end DO NOT HELP.

* A minor one but Khamsin's arms look almost like exposed muscle.

* LQ-84i's existence. A sentient AI weapon ordered to "defend the freedom of Abkhazia". However, it will be mind wiped at the first sign of questioning orders. Being an AI, the blade-wolf body isn't the important thing for it. If its memory is wiped, all of its experiences and learning will be lost. The chassis and neural net could be trained again, but it would never be the same intelligence. Having its memory wiped would be the same as death.

** To up the horror the enemy cyborgs are put through, notice how any sufficient damage to them regardless of whether you cut them or not causes them to explode violently. [[spoiler: It's entirely likely Desperado is ensuring no one associated with them is remotely able to give away their plan, not unlike the Cobra Unit. These guys are ''less'' than expendable to them.]]

* Raiden standing over the corpse of [[spoiler: Senator Armstrong after he ripped his heart out and crushed it]] is rather haunting of what it implies for his future. Raiden has a ThousandYardStare with blood all over his body, clearly exhausted with all the killing and destruction he has had to cause and witness. He spoke of enforcing justice but knee deep in bodies Raiden can't help but feel NotSoDifferent from his enemies.
* Each one of the bosses is dispatched using a Zandatsu attack, meaning that they get diced to tiny bits. But then, they make dying codec calls. Despite being literally diced to tiny pieces, they are ''still alive'', at least enough to make their last words.
** If it's any consolation, Wolf was an AI, as opposed to the somewhat human Winds of Destruction.
** They weren't necessarily alive. There ''are'' ghosts in the MGS universe.

* Cyborgs and [[VibroWeapon their associated weapons]] must be pretty terrifying to unaugmented, squishy humans. Take President N'Mani's kidnapping, for example. Sundowner hacks his guards into pieces while grinning, then picks him up like a ragdoll as he tries to escape his burning limo. Sundowner then ties him up and tortures him by pressing his high-frequency machete into N'Mani's neck, which is not only switched on, but also extremely hot. You can hear and see N'Mani's blood and flesh sizzling. The fact that the first thing he does after being cut loose is hold his neck closed and tell Raiden not to worry about him is a pretty awesome moment, when you think about it.

* Monsoon's boss fight, the only one where the player is canonically in [[ChildSoldier Jack's]] role, is all about getting them on board with [[AppealToNature "killing is okay because it's natural,"]] and this will only sink in [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone once the player starts realizing how much fun they had]]. His basic attacks, which include [[InterfaceScrew red phosphorous ambushes]], DetachmentCombat, and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything a predatory attack which involves repeatedly stabbing the pinned player]], will punish players who still have to ''think'' in order to react, and his bizarre special attacks [[AxCrazy will benefit players who attempt to attack the rubble he's hurling]]. Monsoon's constant shouting about the rules of nature, his evasive abilities, and his stupidly high health mean that some players will easily get frustrated and really ''want'' to kill him... and as a bonus, players who do especially well with him [[CatharsisFactor get to hear him panic and beg for his life]].
** Even his theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnKl4064vEo "The Stains of Time"]], gets in on this; the heavy dubstep and (live) instrumentation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdNau-43J4I and drums]] are as fast and frantic as the soundtrack gets, making sure the player's heart is ''racing'' as they try keeping up with Monsoon. The lyrics back up the boss's philosophy, talking about how his anger and dreams have washed away and he kills '''''just because it's natural'''''... and the song's [[SarcasmMode triumphant climax]] is ''"my dreams have disappeared."'' [[VideoGame/SpecOpsTheLine Do you feel like a hero yet?]]
