* In episode 23, we finally learn how Momoka died/disappeared. It's not a bloody scene, but the mere idea of having your body disappear while your soul is sealed away and split into two is '''not cool'''... [[Narm/{{Penguindrum}} though others might find it too weird to be scared.]]

* Episode 14. Yuri drugs and tries to rape Ringo. [[ShockingSwerve NO ONE COULD SEE THAT COMING]]. Even worse is how Yuri is VERY mentally broken at that point and does this while mentally repeating how much she hates herself due to her body issues and loneliness.

This series by Creator/KunihikoIkuhara started as a rather... weird but humorous show. But as time went on, the weirdness increased, and well...

* In episode 8, Ringo serves Tabuki a drugged montblanc and attempts to rape him but Shouma shows up in time to stop her thankfully.
** That ''look'' when she's dragging Tabuki away. It only lasts for a second, but... her [[WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises eye]]...
* '''Tabuki''' is this in spades, in episode 11. It's bad enough when Ringo's LovePotion actually ''works'' on him so he acts all suave and NOT like his normal CloudCuckooLander NiceGuy self, but then he starts acting like a frog ("ribbit" included) and making really horrible {{Nightmare Face}}s... as well as when he also ''punches through a door'' to try and get Ringo back inside, presumably to rape her after she decides to not have sex with him. BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor, Ringo...?
** On the other hand, Yuri's arrival a well as her [[DissonantSerenity weirdly... calm disposition]] [[NightmareRetardant defused more than a bit of the scariness.]]
* For some, Mario Natsume is ''[[CreepyChild FREAKING CREEPY.]]'' The first thing he said in the series is "SURVIVAL STRATEGY!", he has his own Penguin Hat, [[EmotionlessBoy shows absolutely NO emotions otherwise]], freaks the ''shit'' out of the otherwise HotBlooded Kanba when they meet ''without saying a single word'', is the center of his sister Masako's "Project M"...
** Even worse in episode 16. When he finally gets to talk some more, it's because his grandfather's spirit is using him as a SoulJar. AAAAUUUUGH.
* Sanetoshi's black bunnies. [[CreepyTwins Holy shit.]]
* Episode 14. Yuri drugs and tries to rape Ringo. [[ShockingSwerve NO ONE COULD SEE THAT COMING]]. Even worse is how Yuri is VERY mentally broken at that point and does this while mentally repeating how much she hates herself due to her body issues and loneliness.
* And then we have episode 15. First there's Ringo's [[CloudCuckooLander extremely erratic behavior and words]] as she calls Shouma while drugged and about to be raped by Yuri, which causes Shouma to freak out. And then we have Yuri's past as the victim of a rather... ''special'', to say at least, type of physical abuse (as well as horrible emotional abuse, [[ParentalIncest and maybe sexual as well]]) from her terribly creepy father. Who also ''happens'' to bear some vague resemblance to Touga's rapist stepfather from the ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' movie. GAH!
* Episode 17 and 18 have Tabuki as the freaking ''Master'' of this as he goes from kind and slightly off-kilter school teacher to totally unhinged would-be killer who takes Himari hostage and almost gets her and Kanba horribly killed.
** And this is without including the whole concept of the ''Child broiler''. Kids, if your parents [[TheUnfavorite don't like or want you]], they can perfectly well send you to this place where you will be [[RetGone erased from existence]]. [[SarcasmMode Sweet dreams!]] This, among other things, indicates that there is something ''seriously wrong'' with this setting.
* Episode 20. What kind of ''monster'' would [[KickTheDog seal a kitten in a box and send it off in a garbage truck to suffer a horrible death?!]]
* Episode 21, oh Gods. Kenzan and Chiemi were DeadAllAlong. Not only we see [[http://i.minus.com/ib1mdsBnGyVxi1.jpg their]] [[http://i.minus.com/iSeHseeMguMF0.jpg corpses]] (already a [[NauseaFuel pretty bad sight]]), but then we realize that Kanba was ''hallucinating'' when we saw him talk to them...
** Not to mention, Kanba [[CurbStompBattle beating the shit out of]] ''[[CurbStompBattle Shouma]]'' [[WhatTheHellHero when he calls him out]] is just... '''wrong'''!
** And also, the reporter and either Tabuki or Yuri (or maybe both) getting [[DroppedABridgeOnHim getting bridges dropped on them]] [[HeKnowsTooMuch for getting way too close to the truth]]. Courtesy of Kanba, to make it worse.
*** Well, it's revealed that the Tabuki and Yuri deal came was Yuri's [[{{Yandere}} crazy lover]] Tsubasa's responsibility instead of Kanba's... which is still [[MurderTheHypotenuse quite frightening]] [[IfICantHaveYou in itself]] [[LoveMakesyouCrazy nonetheless]].
* In episode 23, we finally learn how Momoka died/disappeared. It's not a bloody scene, but the mere idea of having your body disappear while your soul is sealed away and split into two is '''not cool'''... [[Narm/{{Penguindrum}} though others might find it too weird to be scared.]]
** An then we have Kanba and ''specially'' Sanetoshi's DeathTrap of sorts for Ringo, which has made many people [[MoralEventHorizon scream for their painful deaths]] (specially the latter's). Whether you like Ringo or not, there's no real discussion on how burning to almost death to protect the Diary, being {{Breaking Speech}}ed while still in flames, and then being left to die in a burning building is really not pretty.
* In the GrandFinale, Kanba's screams as he starts to be {{Ret Gone}}d will haunt your memories fo a long, LONG time.
** Not to mention the HighPressureBlood...
