Yikes.
* The first real example of nightmare fuel came with the first episode of Black Rose arc, showing us how [[MindRape Mikage and Mamiya recruits the Black Rose Duelists]]. Akio's fiancee Kanae, goes to Nemuro Memorial Hall for her interview. She enters an elevator and, in anguished tears, divulges her attempts to make friends with Anthy as the elevator speeds past strange plaques ([[spoiler:actually mausoleum plots]]). Meanwhile, someone over a loudspeaker tells her to go [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "Deeper. Even deeper"]] as the elevator accelerates more and more as it descends.

* Whenever Anthy gets ScaryShinyGlasses and reveals her true not quite so ExtremeDoormat nature. Or just how she's used in a pawn in the duels and [[FateWorseThanDeath her life is something to be used and won and she has to obey whoever she's engaged to no matter what.]]
* Episode 9: Touga and Saionji find a young Utena ''hiding in a coffin'' next to her dead parents (who are in separate coffins). Just something very creepy about it, especially when we learn that Utena has given up on life and is awaiting death, finding it pointless to live if all humans eventually die.
* In episode 12 Utena's HeroicBSOD after her defeat at the hands of Touga.
* Nanami got a kitten for her brother (Touga) for his birthday, but being such a {{Yandere}} for him she ''drowned'' it because it was taking up all Touga's attention.
** Nanami's obsession with Touga is pretty damned creepy.
** Let's not forget the scene where Touga tries to rape Nanami in Akio's car which she fights off and he acts confused because he thought its what she always wanted.
* The scene in episode 3 when Nanami tries to embarrass Anthy by making her dress dissolve. Also, there's also the UncannyValley view of the crowd at the party from Anthy's point of view.
* There's also Kozue who is shown to be rather obsessed with her twin Miki and to grab her brother's attention she exercises loose sexual morals. She's extremely possessive of Miki to the point where she physically hurts anyone who tries to hurt or "steal" him. In the movie she is shown holding a razor to his throat while they're both in the bathtub together and calling him a traitor when he refuses to divulge details of his personal affairs to her.
** In one episode, Miki's piano teacher is hinted to have a less than savoury interest in him, and he's inappropriately touchy-feely with him when they talk. Kozue has clearly noticed, as it later turns out that she'd previously ''shoved the teacher down the stairs for it''.
* Anthy being cursed to be stabbed by the million swords ''for eternity'' and Utena [[spoiler: taking the attack of the million swords in her place.]]
* In episode 37 Anthy casually mentions Cantarella, a deadly poison. In response, Utena comments that she "put a lot of poison" in Anthy's tea.
** In the same episode there's also [[spoiler: Anthy trying to commit suicide by jumping off a building]]. Thankfully, Utena saves her.
* Anthy and Akio are siblings but they [[BrotherSisterIncest regularly have semi-consensual sex]], and its hinted that [[RapeAsDrama Akio often uses force in order to get his way]].
** Nanami rightly has a HeroicBSOD after finding this out and says that [[StrangeGirl Anthy scares her.]] Anthy's response is to say perfectly pleasant: "I do? Thanks so much!"
** Anthy's subsequent shaving of the shaved ice with a massive chainsaw.
** Utena also has a BreakTheCutie moment after finding this out.
* In episode 38 Akio when tries to make Utena his princess Anthy responds with her eyes rolling back in her head as she disappears.
** In episode 38 Anthy appears to give Utena a CooldownHug from behind but actually [[spoiler: stabs her in the back with a black sword that she didn't have before]].
** In episode 39 after stabbing Utena Anthy leans down to coldly whisper into her ear "You remind me so much of Dios when I loved him. But you can never be my prince. Because you're a girl" while we hear the creepy sound of children laughing in the background
* And the sex scene between [[spoiler: Akio and Utena]] in episode 33, seeing as how she's thirteen/fourteen years old and he's way older than her, plus the dubious consent and...topic of discussion. You won't be thinking of sandwiches the same way again for a good while afterwards. All the more nightmarish when you see her ''gasping in pain''.
** Honestly, though, while Akio looks like a very attractive guy, just about all of his relationships (be they overt or implied) have something seriously wrong with them.
* Kozue and Anthy's car scene in episode 26 is kind of creepy, since out of nowhere Kozue appears to start seducing a blank-faced Anthy in the car - in the middle of Miki's duel.
* The way Souji Mikage and Mamiya Chida recruit the Black Rose Duelists, preying on people who are at the lowest points of their lives and using their insecurities to make them join the Black Rose cause.
* Akio and Anthy (who was actually posing as poor Mamiya) inflicting a MindRape on Mikage himself in the end of the Black Rose arc.
* Speaking of that arc, there's the way the Black Rose duellists draw swords from the student council members, complete with intensely creepy sexual subtext. The most notable ones are [[spoiler:Shiori drawing Juri's sword]] (it's pulled out very slowly - perhaps sadistically so, depending on who you ask), [[spoiler:Wakaba drawing Saionji's sword]] (she suddenly dashes forward and pulls it out ''with her own hands!''), and [[spoiler:Keiko drawing Touga's sword]] (which is mostly just extremely sexualised).
* Also, in the first arc when Anthy's alone in the classroom singing that bunnies all in a row or whatever song and doing the thing with her hands.
* For me, the creepiest moment has to be in Nanami's first Akio Arc Duel Episode, Her Tragedy, when Anthy is spoon-feeding Akio shaved ice. Most specifically, in the original Japanese when she says -
--> Anthy: Oniisama, the inside of your mouth is all blue.
** Note that during his scene there is no dramatic camera angles or focusing in on Anthy when this happens (such as when she is giving one of her little signature smiles). For all it looks like, the situation looks completely normal, with no ominous visual clues that remind you that it is all a facade. The niceness isn't even overdone to the point where you know it's fake because of how cheesy and forced it comes off as. Unlike the scene where Anthy smiles at Akio after having sex, if someone with no previous SKU experience watched this scene, they would be unable to tell that Anthy's submissive behavior is empty.
** No, the real creepiness in this part of SKU comes from the fact that it is one of Anthy's best moments of acting -and for an incredibly sinister purpose; to torment Nanami into dueling by twisting and misleading her in regards to her views on siblings, princes and princesses, and sex. How fucking '''destroyed''' inside you have to be to do that?
* Anytime Saionji gets pissed really.
** That time he tried to attack Utena but Touga showed up to protect her and took the attack instead.
*** Worse when you realize WHY Touga did it: [[spoiler: to turn everyone against Saionji and get him kicked out of Ohtori. And he's doing this to '''his best friend'''. Saionji is a JerkAss, but what the HELL Touga.]]
* Episode 30 when Anthy gets ScaryShinyGlasses and the lights on the candle go out. And then when she holds it while watching Utena and Akio make out in the car and suddenly disappears...
* "Dios" [[spoiler: or actually, Akio pretending to be Dios]] insulting Utena in the lowest way possible [[spoiler: right after he and Anthy have betrayed her, she's just been stabbed by her best friend, and Anthy is facing horrific torture right before her eyes. "Dios" proceeds to tell Utena how she did well ''for a girl'' and how she wouldn't be able to do anything with the power of miracles, unless ''he'' controlled it. Worse yet, he gives her a kiss "in gratitude" while wearing this sadistic little ''smile''.]]
** Similarly, that "Dios" talking to Utena as a child [[spoiler: was ''also'' Akio, manipulating and traumatizing this little girl just so he could shape her into a prince, fully intending to disempower her later, all to regain the power to revolutionize the world.]]
*** And finally, there's a theory that [[spoiler: Akio killed Utena's parents. Can't get more monstrous than that. They died ''in a car crash''. And whose symbolism is most prominently cars?]]
* A few moments are quite scary, most of them involving Anthy and Akio.
** Like in the movie a flashback shows that [[spoiler:Akio slipped a drug into his sister Anthy's drink and then took advantage of her sexually]]. This is icky enough, but it then goes on to show that afterwards [[spoiler:he realized that she was awake and began to panic, and wound up stabbing her and then falling out a window to his death]].

Finally, [[DespairEventHorizon poor Kanae reaches her breaking point]] and Mikage appears behind her from the door, telling her she has no choice but to revolutionize the world. '''And''' then before she can react, Mamiya stabs her in the chest with a black rose. [[TheWoobie Poor Kanae!]]
** Pretty much any time anybody goes into the elevator and crosses the DespairEventHorizon.
*** To add some extra FridgeHorror to that, [[spoiler:the Mamiya we see throughout most of this arc, including this scene, is an illusion acted out by none other than Anthy; in other words, ''Anthy'' is the one who stabbed Kanae!]] Brr.
*** Not to mention you can hear [[spoiler: the 100 dead boys ''kicking around inside their coffins''.]]
** Some of the later shadow girl plays sneak into this territory. There's even a borderline GoryDiscretionShot when one of the shadow girls ''breaks the other one in half''. [[HellIsThatNoise A disturbingly realistic squishy, snapping sound is included, of course]].
** In the movie version, the revelation of [[spoiler:Anthy's scar]] during the nude sketching scene is made all the creepier when you can hear what sounds awfully like a dentist drill.
** [[HellIsThatNoise The sound of the Ohtori academy bell ringing]].
* In the first episode, Utena recognizes Dios's scent on the Rose Bride. Later, we find out that [[spoiler: Dios became the MagnificentBastard Akio and has been [[RapeIsLove forcing himself]] on his [[BrotherSisterIncest sister, Anthy]] aka the RoseBride.]] It only gets worse when Akio, after having seduced Utena, comments the three of them are [[spoiler: like ''family'']] and [[BrainBleach AFFFGH.]]
** Oh, and there's also the fact that [[spoiler: Akio]], who is ReallySevenHundredYearsOld, is posing as the principal of a high school where he frequently coerces the students into sex in the back of his CoolCar...''while he's driving''. He even slept with three students on-screen and was engaged to one of them (whom he [[spoiler: had POISONED. Again, POOR KANAE.]])!
* Utena and Anthy [[FreakyFridayFlip switch bodies]] in one episode. The switch lasts for at least a couple of days, if not a week. And once a week Anthy goes to visit her brother... [[spoiler: Therefore, it's highly likely that Akio got a taste of Utena far earlier than even she thought. And without her consent.]]
* In the movie Saionji gets quite a creepy AxCrazy look on his face during his duel with Utena. He also acts like he's trying to kill Utena.
* In the movie Touga is [[spoiler: raped by his adoptive father]].
** The entire butterfly scene, for that matter. Shiori growing butterfly wings may be beautifully animated, but even besides the obvious fact that all this is combined with a scene of [[spoiler:child rape]], it's creepy how she rants about how much she hates Juri at the same time, [[DissonantSerenity all in]] [[KumikoNishihara the same sugary-sweet voice]] [[DissonantSerenity she always has]].
* Whenever Anthy gets ScaryShinyGlasses and reveals her true not quite so ExtremeDoormat nature. Or just how she's used in a pawn in the duels and [[FateWorseThanDeath her life is something to be used and won and she has to obey whoever she's engaged to no matter what.]]
* Episode 9: Touga and Saionji find a young Utena ''hiding in a coffin'' next to her dead parents (who are in separate coffins). Just something very creepy about it, especially when we learn that Utena has given up on life and is awaiting death, finding it pointless to live if all humans eventually die.
* In episode 12 Utena's HeroicBSOD after her defeat at the hands of Touga.
* Nanami got a kitten for her brother (Touga) for his birthday, but being such a {{Yandere}} for him she ''drowned'' it because it was taking up all Touga's attention.
** Nanami's obsession with Touga is pretty damned creepy.
** Let's not forget the scene where Touga tries to rape Nanami in Akio's car which she fights off and he acts confused because he thought its what she always wanted.
* The scene in episode 3 when Nanami tries to embarrass Anthy by making her dress dissolve. Also, there's also the UncannyValley view of the crowd at the party from Anthy's point of view.
* There's also Kozue who is shown to be rather obsessed with her twin Miki and to grab her brother's attention she exercises loose sexual morals. She's extremely possessive of Miki to the point where she physically hurts anyone who tries to hurt or "steal" him. In the movie she is shown holding a razor to his throat while they're both in the bathtub together and calling him a traitor when he refuses to divulge details of his personal affairs to her.
** In one episode, Miki's piano teacher is hinted to have a less than savoury interest in him, and he's inappropriately touchy-feely with him when they talk. Kozue has clearly noticed, as it later turns out that she'd previously ''shoved the teacher down the stairs for it''.
* Anthy being cursed to be stabbed by the million swords ''for eternity'' and Utena [[spoiler: taking the attack of the million swords in her place.]]
* In episode 37 Anthy casually mentions Cantarella, a deadly poison. In response, Utena comments that she "put a lot of poison" in Anthy's tea.
** In the same episode there's also [[spoiler: Anthy trying to commit suicide by jumping off a building]]. Thankfully, Utena saves her.
* Anthy and Akio are siblings but they [[BrotherSisterIncest regularly have semi-consensual sex]], and its hinted that [[RapeAsDrama Akio often uses force in order to get his way]].
** Nanami rightly has a HeroicBSOD after finding this out and says that [[StrangeGirl Anthy scares her.]] Anthy's response is to say perfectly pleasant: "I do? Thanks so much!"
** Anthy's subsequent shaving of the shaved ice with a massive chainsaw.
** Utena also has a BreakTheCutie moment after finding this out.
* In episode 38 Akio when tries to make Utena his princess Anthy responds with her eyes rolling back in her head as she disappears.
** In episode 38 Anthy appears to give Utena a CooldownHug from behind but actually [[spoiler: stabs her in the back with a black sword that she didn't have before]].
** In episode 39 after stabbing Utena Anthy leans down to coldly whisper into her ear "You remind me so much of Dios when I loved him. But you can never be my prince. Because you're a girl" while we hear the creepy sound of children laughing in the background
* And the sex scene between [[spoiler: Akio and Utena]] in episode 33, seeing as how she's thirteen/fourteen years old and he's way older than her, plus the dubious consent and...topic of discussion. You won't be thinking of sandwiches the same way again for a good while afterwards. All the more nightmarish when you see her ''gasping in pain''.
** Honestly, though, while Akio looks like a very attractive guy, just about all of his relationships (be they overt or implied) have something seriously wrong with them.
* Kozue and Anthy's car scene in episode 26 is kind of creepy, since out of nowhere Kozue appears to start seducing a blank-faced Anthy in the car - in the middle of Miki's duel.
* The way Souji Mikage and Mamiya Chida recruit the Black Rose Duelists, preying on people who are at the lowest points of their lives and using their insecurities to make them join the Black Rose cause.
* Akio and Anthy (who was actually posing as poor Mamiya) inflicting a MindRape on Mikage himself in the end of the Black Rose arc.
* Speaking of that arc, there's the way the Black Rose duellists draw swords from the student council members, complete with intensely creepy sexual subtext. The most notable ones are [[spoiler:Shiori drawing Juri's sword]] (it's pulled out very slowly - perhaps sadistically so, depending on who you ask), [[spoiler:Wakaba drawing Saionji's sword]] (she suddenly dashes forward and pulls it out ''with her own hands!''), and [[spoiler:Keiko drawing Touga's sword]] (which is mostly just extremely sexualised).
* Also, in the first arc when Anthy's alone in the classroom singing that bunnies all in a row or whatever song and doing the thing with her hands.
* For me, the creepiest moment has to be in Nanami's first Akio Arc Duel Episode, Her Tragedy, when Anthy is spoon-feeding Akio shaved ice. Most specifically, in the original Japanese when she says -
--> Anthy: Oniisama, the inside of your mouth is all blue.
** Note that during his scene there is no dramatic camera angles or focusing in on Anthy when this happens (such as when she is giving one of her little signature smiles). For all it looks like, the situation looks completely normal, with no ominous visual clues that remind you that it is all a facade. The niceness isn't even overdone to the point where you know it's fake because of how cheesy and forced it comes off as. Unlike the scene where Anthy smiles at Akio after having sex, if someone with no previous SKU experience watched this scene, they would be unable to tell that Anthy's submissive behavior is empty.
** No, the real creepiness in this part of SKU comes from the fact that it is one of Anthy's best moments of acting -and for an incredibly sinister purpose; to torment Nanami into dueling by twisting and misleading her in regards to her views on siblings, princes and princesses, and sex. How fucking '''destroyed''' inside you have to be to do that?
* Anytime Saionji gets pissed really.
** That time he tried to attack Utena but Touga showed up to protect her and took the attack instead.
*** Worse when you realize WHY Touga did it: [[spoiler: to turn everyone against Saionji and get him kicked out of Ohtori. And he's doing this to '''his best friend'''. Saionji is a JerkAss, but what the HELL Touga.]]
* Episode 30 when Anthy gets ScaryShinyGlasses and the lights on the candle go out. And then when she holds it while watching Utena and Akio make out in the car and suddenly disappears...
* "Dios" [[spoiler: or actually, Akio pretending to be Dios]] insulting Utena in the lowest way possible [[spoiler: right after he and Anthy have betrayed her, she's just been stabbed by her best friend, and Anthy is facing horrific torture right before her eyes. "Dios" proceeds to tell Utena how she did well ''for a girl'' and how she wouldn't be able to do anything with the power of miracles, unless ''he'' controlled it. Worse yet, he gives her a kiss "in gratitude" while wearing this sadistic little ''smile''.]]
** Similarly, that "Dios" talking to Utena as a child [[spoiler: was ''also'' Akio, manipulating and traumatizing this little girl just so he could shape her into a prince, fully intending to disempower her later, all to regain the power to revolutionize the world.]]
*** And finally, there's a theory that [[spoiler: Akio killed Utena's parents. Can't get more monstrous than that. They died ''in a car crash''. And whose symbolism is most prominently cars?]]
