** FU's increasingly bizarre forms make it clear that he is more of an EldritchAbomination than his humanoid form suggests. He generates a sickly multicolored dark aura when angered, and can shrug off ''getting his head split in two''. His first enraged transformation makes it clear that his crown is, in fact, a part of his body as it elongates, while also growing eyes all over his body. Finally, the ends of his limbs turn metallic and clawed, along with a bestial PrimalStance posture, making him look like some kind of an avian creature.

*** Said GameFace is among the game's, if not the SERIES', most terrifying looking faces. It looks like a shriveled up grape with bulging, ''Film/TheyLive''-style eyes and wild green hair. It's such a nightmare-inducing face that you'll almost be '''glad'' when Damon starts ranting like a lunatic about why he caused everything.

*** [[https://youtu.be/dUe-08bRris?si=0IdsNvKXdIsU9WR1 The theme for the fight]] is fittingly ominous; it's composed of a subdued DroneOfDead, with synth instruments playing in the background and a faint orchestra over top of it all. It sets the mood INCREDIBLY well, due to Henry's mania and all the shocking reveals you've just seen.

* Damon Riccitiello revealing his Main/GameFace after killing FU and showing he is every bit as crazy as his former best friend, to the point that he started the events of the entire game over Travis hitting him in the face to get his Death Ball he stole from Dr. Juvenile in ''Travis Strikes Again''.
** His death is nightmarish as well: he slowly dissolves before a giant version of his head appears screaming about how he doesn’t want to die.

* Henry officially returns near the end of the game, but not as you remember him: he's now a vengeful madman who may or may not be a demon, instead of the aloof {{Foil}} to Travis he was portrayed as for the first two games. The fact that [[AmbiguousSituation this might or might not be]] ''[[AmbiguousSituation the REAL Henry]]'' just makes it even worse.
** To add fuel to the fire, he suddenly no longer has an Irish accent, [[TheOtherDarrin and is voiced by someone completely different]], which is WAY more unsettling than it has any right to be. Anyone used to Quinton Flynn's lovably rougish performance will definitely find this change quite off-putting, to say the least.

*** Just before the final battle with FU, a horribly mutilated version of Henry, all bloody with the top of his head missing and a [[Main/SlasherSmile creepy grin on his face]], meets with Damon again. It's unclear if that was the same Henry that ran into traffic, or the one that Travis brutally hacked to pieces earlier. Regardless, there's '''no way''' an ordinary human should be walking around and conducting business transactions in such a state.
** Then there's the fact that Henry claims that their father was a SerialKiller and that he tried to ''murder his children'', including Travis's half-sister, the original Jeane, a memory he tried to repress by apparently fabricating a false memory that he was raised in Ireland by the Cooldown family. Just as unnervingly vague is how this memory resurfaced. Between ''Desperate Struggle'' and this game, he met with a being implied to be of extraterrestrial origin, that he ended up worshipping as a god. Evidently, his worship has become so strong that the future Jeane and Hunter reveal in the ending that he's ''allied himself with aliens'' in an intergalactic war. Just ''what the hell happened'' between ''Desperate Struggle'' and now to make him this way?

Finally, the ends of his limbs turn metallic and clawed, along with a bestial PrimalStance posture, making him look like some kind of an avian creature. His final form on the other hand is something truly to behold, turning FU into a flat dome covered in eyes and surfaces that can sprout gigantic limbs and an utterly terrifying deranged version of FU's head.
* Damon Riccitiello revealing his Main/GameFace after killing FU and showing he is absolutely as crazy as his former best friend, to the point that he started the events of the entire game over Travis hitting him in the face to get his Death Ball he stole from Dr. Juvenile in ''Travis Strikes Again''.

** The whole situation surrounding the fact that Henry's memories ''were forcibly changed'' into something else entirely in order to purge his mind of the fucked up things him and his siblings endured. To say it's all utterly horrific is an understatement.
** While his boss fight is straightforward, he ends up returning from getting [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe cleaved in twain]] and bashed to death to ''kill Travis'', his own brother. Oh, and when you try saving ''after'' the fight, he appears with multiple clones to murder Travis in a gruesomely disturbing way. It's only thanks to a little help from Deathman that Travis returns from the dead and Takashi Miike for getting him out of the grave.
** After Damon successfully requests Henry to kill Travis, how does their encounter end? Henry ''walks out into heavy traffic and gets hit by a truck, and then gets mangled by all the other cars on the highway''! The first hint that something is seriously wrong with him.

** Sylvia screaming in terror and curling up in the latter incident feels... [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness wrong. Very wrong.]] She's usually unflappable in the face of other assassins' brutality, but [[EveryoneHasStandards FU's sheer callousness is too much for her]].

** The surprising lack of [[JumpScare Jump Scares]] [[NothingIsScarier almost makes the stage WORSE]], especially if you were expecting them. The fact that the first-person perspective partially evokes VideoGame/Killer7 will definitely make anyone who'd played that game more than a little unnerved as they traverse through thr school.

* After Velvet Chair Girl commits suicide with poisoned wine from losing the musical chair game, Ohma goes insane with grief and rapidly grows in size. This would be bad enough, if it weren't for her [[TakesDamage visibly falling apart the weaker she gets]] in the ensuing boss fight. Not to mention that her beams are able to instantly kill Travis if he's hit.

** The murder of the President of the United States is quite horrific as well. FU tells him to make an emergency press conference to let him introduce himself, and when the President (understandably) refuses, FU and Black Night Direction teleport inside his office and the prince rips his head off with a single hand.

** He finishes his announcement by smashing the President's severed head against the camera.
* Unlike previous {{Big Bad}}s who only confront Travis in the end, FU goes for Travis immediately after Mr. Blackhole's death. What ensues is a CurbStompBattle that sees Travis defeated, Shinobu ''maimed'', Badman '''''[[KilledOffForReal DEAD]]''''', and Bad Girl crossing the DespairEventHorizon. Make no mistake: FU is the most ''dangerous'' enemy Travis will face!
** Shinobu's scream when FU rips her arms off. Not even when Travis cut off her hand in the first game did she scream so hard.
** The move that defeated Travis was horrifying for its sheer simplicity: FU just kicked Travis in the torso, and he punched a hole through it without destroying his clothes.
* After Velvet Chair Girl commits suicide with poisoned wine from losing the musical chair game, Ohma goes insane with grief and turns giant. This would be bad enough, if it weren't for her visibly falling apart the weaker she gets in the ensuing boss fight. Not to mention that her beams are able to instantly kill Travis if he's hit.

** When Damon requests Henry to kill Travis, what does he see? Henry ''falling and being run over by a car'', as if to hint that something is wrong with him.

** Then there's the fact that Henry reveals that their father was a SerialKiller, something in regards to how he lost his own memories and he seems to become have worshipped an alien savior.
