History NightmareFuel / Persona5

** When a Fusion Accident happens, the guillotines stop up, only for Justine and Caroline to pull out a ''chainsaw'' to complete the fusion.

* How the various Personae get 'fused' in this game into newer ones. The ones you select appear, get put into ''bodybags'' and you can see them struggling, with their heads throug the holes for guillotines. Yes. ''You behead a Persona to fuse another one!''

** It gets even creepier when [[spoiler: Caroline and Justine decide to take to the guillotines in order to become whole. There are no bodybags and their heads are visibly popping through the holes. Thankfully, we don't see the girls get beheaded: the turn into butterflies when the blades hit.]]

* Guess what? [[spoiler:[[StalkedByTheBell The Reaper]] [[HopelessBossFight is back]]]]. [[SarcasmMode Have fun!]]

* Like [[VideoGame/Persona4 the previous game]], you get a NonStandardGameOver if you fail to complete a dungeon within the time limit. Unlike the previous games whose endings took place in the present, this game is a WholeEpisodeFlashback for most of the game because of the Protagonist being interrogated after the Casino Heist, so the endings that come after the failed dungeon are really the Protagonist misremembering how things went due to the drugs he is under. They all being with the Protagonist being approached by some officers at the coffee shop. However, the description of what the police are there for from these false memories tend to disturbing and terrifying:
** For Kaneshiro's/Makoto's dungeon, for example, police explain that a high school girl (read: Makoto) was found at an "illegal services shop" (best not to think about the implications of that), heavily drugged, and they heard her clearly say the protagonist's name.

* Like [[VideoGame/Persona4 the previous game]], you get a NonStandardGameOver if you fail to complete a dungeon within the time limit. '''''UN'''''like the previous game, however, [[ItsAWonderfulFailure what happens in each one is unique, and is accompanied by detailed descriptions.]]
** For Kaneshiro's/Makoto's dungeon, for example, police burst into the protagonist's pad at Soujirou's and explain that a high school girl (read: Makoto) was found at an "illegal services shop" (best not to think about the implications of that), heavily drugged, and they heard her clearly say the protagonist's name. Considering how corrupt the police have been shown to be, it's guaranteed he's going to be framed for ''assaulting Makoto''.
** For failing to complete Futaba's dungeon you find out Futaba ''kills herself''. Her [[spoiler:remaining]] family files a complaint blaming the protag for her death, getting him arrested. Holy shit.
** Though not as intense as what happens to Makoto and Futaba, Haru and Yusuke's fates if you fail aren't pleasant either. Haru ends up forced into a marriage that will definitely be an abusive one while Yusuke will be forever stuck in a life of being abused and taken advantage of by Madarame. The stakes for not finishing these dungeons are very high indeed.

** Oh, and [[spoiler:the Protagonist's identity as the Phantom Thief gets exposed each time and he still ends up with a bullet in the head just like the Bad Ending for extra measure.]]

Considering how corrupt the police have been shown to be, it's not hard to think he's going to end up ''framed'' for all this.
** For failing to complete Futaba's dungeon you find out Futaba ''kills herself.'' Her family files a complaint blaming the protag for her death getting him arrested. Holy shit.

** If you don't finish the first dungeon, Kamoshida gets some student to call the cops on you. There is no info on Ryuji and Anne, but without you [[FridgeHorror the implications point to bad things for them.]] For Ryuji it is probably expulsion from school, for Anne its much worse since there is nothing or no one that can stop Kamoshida from preying on her now....

* Failing to complete Storyline Dungeons before the deadline have much [[FromBadToWorse steeper]] consequences than they did in ''VideoGame/Persona4.'' [[spoiler: Not only do TheBadGuyWins, but Anne, Yusuke, Makoto, and Haru all continue to be abused in their respective storylines. Oh, and the Protagonist identity as the Phantom Thief gets exposed and he still ends up with a cap in the head just like the Bad Ending.]]

* When the true BigBad's plan begins [[spoiler: the Thieves arrive seemingly in normal Tokyo... then blood starts raining from the sky, and giant skeletal structures burst out of the ground. And ''no-one notices this apart from the Thieves and Conspirators!'' Then Ryuji notices his hand starting to disappear. One by one, they all vanish entirely, giving either tearful last words or painful screams. As the protagonist fades, the in-universe social media tracker, with the question "Do the Phantom Thieves of Hearts really exist?" '''drops to 0%'''.]] [[FissionMailed A player could be forgiven for thinking they'd hit a Bad Ending.]]

* [[spoiler: Kunizaku Okumura's]] death, which involves the victim having sudden convulsions, then slowly rising up to reveal blank eyes and black sludge oozing out of his face, before he slumps over, his face still apparently melting. Even worse, this is shown on live television. [[spoiler:Needless to say, this breaks poor Haru's heart like glass being smashed with a brick, which just adds ''more'' nightmare fuel to the fire.]]

* Kamoshida may just be the StarterVillain, but he's still a violent sexual predator who drives a girl to attempt suicide. One of the earliest scenes in the game has the protagonist watching as he offers Anna a lift to school, with him being none the wiser until Ryuji runs in yelling "pervert teacher!" And in his boss form, he heals himself by eating headless female torsos from a chalice. It also doesn't help that one of his dungeon's minibosses is a slime resembling ''Mara''.

* The fact that [[spoiler: someone managed to kidnap and replace IGOR OF ALL PEOPLE! Yes, the BigGood watching over you every time you entered the Velvet Room was really the BigBad, and has been playing you since the game began.]]
