** The bit where Spirit explains that there is a natural bond between the souls of parent and child leads up to a CMOA for him and Maka, but also a fair dose of Nightmare Fuel and Tearjerker for poor Crona. Crona is horrified that they have apparently ''broken'' that bond by killing Medusa, and is even more convinced there's noone left for them. What's more, from the readers' perspective it's quite clear the fault lies with Medusa alone, whose ThanatosGambit was the result of a series-long endeavor to put her own child into a position of breaking that natural bond themselves in order to get the result Medusa wanted; a new avatar of Madness created of human suffering. It also emphasizes why Spirit was so furious with Medusa. Along with him being a over-sensitive Doting Parent, he sees the witch's evil towards her own child as subversive, and ''truly'' unnatural.
** Crona's breakdown after explaining that they killed Medusa and severed their only bond to order. In that realization, they start screaming and get engulfed in a cocoon ball. The chapter ends with the Kishin peeking out of it.
** As Crona is having their breakdown, they keep screaming "MAAA MAAA" over and over. Whether they are calling for Maka, calling for "Mama" (Medusa), or trying to say madness is up for debate.

** It may be just a reflection of Crona's own deteriorating mental state, but this is pretty much what he seems to have become in the later chapters of the manga, only uttering strange noises while his head pops out of Crona's midsection every so often.
*** If this is so, then It Gets Worse because Ragnarok is not seen at all later on, not when Maka and co. confront Crona in Italy, nor when they end up fighting. Which means that when, IIRC, Stein and Spirit expressed concern that Ragnarok would consume ''Crona''s soul, it seems to have been the other way around. Crona has control of the Black/Mad blood, with apparently ''nothing'' of the Weapon's consciousness remaining. A meister consuming a Weapon's soul ties in both to the original tale Spirit told Maka about the Kishin, and into what might have happened with Asura and his vajra (of course, hopefully, it may not be a Demon Weapon at all...).

* The whole idea behind the DWMA is pretty creepy with inspection. DWMA was founded to train Meisters and Weapons (who power up by eating souls) to hunt "Demon Eggs" (humans who have become corrupted by consuming the souls of the innocent), Kishin (Eldritch Abominations that form from said humans when they get too powerful) and their strongest, Kishin Asura, as well as Witches (from whom the weapons originally got their abilities). All of these Meisters and Weapons are essentially current and former children and teenagers who are given orders by their boss, TheGrimReaper, to hunt down and kill people and monsters over the world as assassins all so that they can one day upgrade Weapons into becoming their boss' personal weapons known as Death Scythes (Note it takes 99 Demon Eggs and One Witch to do so, so kids are actually indoctrinated to want to kill 99 people and a witch, innocent or not, to make a weapon). Even the nicest Death Scythes in the series were created by helping kill dozens and a witch to reach their current status. Due to the FantasticRacism towards Witches in place, the Meisters may even go after completely innocent and benign Witches as Maka and Soul's attacks against Blair would attest.

* Just the thought of what happened to Crona and Ragnarok to get Ragnarok melted with the black blood, and then replace ALL of Crona's original blood with that black blood. Not only that, but what about the effects? Because of the Black Blood, Crona would be literally 'cold-blooded'. They wouldn't give off that same human ''warmth'' that most people would. It would basically make Crona inhuman. It's no wonder Spirit was so pissed at Medusa for what she did.
