** For that matter, the situation of the local Xyz loopers. In every single loop, [[InSpiteOfANail no matter what they do]], Heartland ''will'' get destroyed, they ''will'' lose their families and friends, and there ''will'' be people they cannot save. Every. Single. Time. The normally cool-headed Yuto snaps quite badly on a looper who assumed that "card game loops are easy".

* Remember that rule that Loopers can't have new kids in the loops? Well, Reiji Kido's loop starts in high school (Persona 1), and ends with Persona 5, which is about twenty years later. He cannonicaly has a son named Takashi in the three year mark. ''This guy looses his child in every single loop''.


Added DiffLines:

* The ''Anime/YuGiOhARCV'' loops are this for the rest of the ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' loopers, because they are trapped in an interdimensional war. Jaden once found himself as a general in an army committing ''genocide'', and the [=5D=]'s loopers were less than pleased with the Dystopian CyberPunk setting of the Synchro Dimension.

[[folder: Crisis Across The Infinite Loops]]
--> This is for specific parts of Crisis loops. The main description is at the top of the page.
* The fact that the only way to stop a potential bad looper is to ''kill'' them. Imagine not knowing what was going on and out of nowhere, someone who you may not even know yet shows up to murder you.
* Dimentio nearly looping. Mario, Peach and Bowser can't find him from his hundreds of clones and everyone knows he will be an MLE if he Activates. If a Mythos Hacker hadn't stepped in at the last second, things would have been bad.
** In his haste to kill Dimentio, Mario missed killing the Shadow Queen and the Black Paint, meaning that ''either'' of them could have been the new looper. Thankfully for everyone, the far nicer and far less evil Vivian was Activated.

* The Crisis Across Infinite Loops. Due to Le-Eyo's Force-Activation Program, ''anyone'' can Awaken in a loop should they survive to the end of the current one. It doesn't matter how much the other loopers hate them or how insane they are. While it some cases, the new Looper is harmless or friendly(IE Napstablook Awakes for the ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' loops) but it can just as easily be a villain. Many Loopers have been going on killing sprees to avoid anyone nasty screwing up their loops.

** There was one time when Lady from ''Franchise/DevilMayCry'' looped in there. Her breakdown was so bad that the local loopers had to get Naoki Kashima to help comfort her.

* Flynn and Isabeau are constantly trying to get their friends Walter and Jonathan to loop... only to fail each and every time because their friends somehow die. ''Every. Single. Time.''
* [[VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga The Junkyard]]. Anyone who loops there is infected with Atma, which immedietely forces them into a [[HorrorHunger cannibalistic rampage]]. It is noted that most people who loop there need therapy in MLP afterwards.
** First of all, any fused loop with the Junkyard leads in a societal collapse.

** There was also that fused loop with ''VideoGame/Persona4''. Yu - who was replacing Serph - was suddenly consumed by his Persona almost immediately among awakening and when he came to the first thing he found out was that the leader of an opposing tribe had been replaced by ''his uncle''. A character from the brightest Persona game having DDS as their Formative Loop...

** Waltz states, in chapter/page 39 that she can hear her Unawake self, quite a recent person for a change, in the back of her head, asking who she is and pleading for her to stop. All that, because Roll grabbed her hand.

** [[TheDreaded Billy]] is also unaffected by Eiken, and in fact quite enjoys it. With the exception of Naoki, actually ''enjoying'' Eiken is a sign of a diseased mind and a potential [=MLE=].

* Any Malicious Looping Entities. Some are merely insane and bring that along with them, causing irreparable mental damage to even the most stable Loopers. Others actively seek to ascend to the same status as the Admins -- which necessitates the ''destruction of their own branch.''

* The Wiki/SCPFoundation is Looping. That alone should be enough for panic, as many of the things that come from that place are enough to make even a hardened Looper shudder.
** SCP-682 itself ended up facing Naoki Kashima... and 682 laughed him off. Note, Naoki was molded to kill [[JerkassGods YHVH]], so 682 laughing him off makes one wonder what kind of threats 682 laughs off as well.

That's their basic description from their series, but the Loops turned it UpToEleven when DIO Brando (one of the most dangerous Loopers around) mentioned in passing they once drained ''him''.

* One RWBY loop features talking Grimm. That whisper about your fears and insecurities. And some of the things they say imply they are reading your mind to get the context behind the emotions that attract them.

[[folder:The MLP Loops]]
* Every single damn thing about the Slavequestria Loop. Imagine Equestria, that lovely sunny land of ponies, built on institutional slavery. Even Princess Celestia allows and approves this, having bought Twilight Sparkle when she was a child! And the slaves are branded with a fake cutie mark designed to look like hers, only it's designed to dampen their will, and stop them from getting their own cutie mark to boot.
** Even worse is the mere hint as to what happened to Cadance. She's Sombra's ''wife''. The fact that Cadance refuses to tell Twilight what happened speaks volumes.
** And there's Celestia herself. She's a horrific slaving monster, but she still looks, sounds and acts like the regular Celestia in every other respect. And when Twilight Sparkle and the others decided to go alicorn on her twisted behind, she actually doesn't get why Twilight Sparkle would hate her for what she's done.
* The Molestia Loop. Sleipnir's description of it tells us all we need to know. Everyone is a demented sex fiend, and Molestia is seen as the absolute epitome of perfection for this world. And then Twilight is considered the most desirable thing alive by every living being in Equestria. ''Including her family.'' So Sleipnir goes into the Loop himself, and along with Twilight wades into Tartarus, locks the door behind them, and annihilates the world rather than stay there one hour more.
* In one Loop, Twilight replaces Sombra and vice versa. Curious about what he'd be like in her place, she investigates. Sombra is still an utter dickwad, but he's especially horrible to Spike, whom he is verbally, emotionally and physically abusive towards, even denying Spike food if he fails his assigned tasks. Amazingly, Twilight does not vaporize him for this. Instead, she decides to haunt him using her current spectral form, with the implication being that she won't stop tormenting him until he's paid for his crimes.
* Nyx mentions one point in which she was attacked and killed by Nightmare Moon. From her phrasing, it sounds like it happened not even a few minutes after waking up. Yikes.
* The Loop where there's Pinkie Pie, and her demented sister Pinkamena, who it's all but outright said was physically and emotionally violent towards her sister in an AxCrazy fashion. It's bad enough that even Pinkie's usual good cheer vanished. Also counts as a {{Tearjerker}}.
* The Mega Pony Loop is surprisingly (and literally) dark when it gets to the Ra Moon storyline. Here, Ra Moon's power causes everpresent darkness to cover the skies. Everypony's magic is dramatically weakened, which among other things causes Cloudsdale to fall apart. Every Alicorn present is instantly knocked out, and while the Loopers manage to wake up, Cadance and Celestia don't. Quick experimentation proves that none of the Loopers can access their out-of-Loop skills. Twilight, Pinkie and Spike try... and immediately go into violent seizures. And then the Stardruids show up.
** Speaking of the Stardruids, there's Desert Mercury, a probably-literally insane pony who hated fun so much she sought out the Smooze in order to awaken it and end all fun forever. She wound up ''becoming'' Smooze herself, relying on equipment to keep herself solid. Pinkie naturally breaks that equipment, causing Desert to melt, and the Smooze to reassert itself. Pinkie, who counts as TheDreaded in several other universes, just runs.
--->Most ghosties could be laughed away. The Smooze just laughed right back.
** During a fused loop with Warhammer 40K, the mere ''sound'' of the Smooze is enough to scare anyone that hears it into a terrified wreck.
* One of Twilight's harsher lonely Loops. She Loops into Warhammer 40K, tries to talk to the Emperor, then gets captured and violently tortured for a month and a half. And even when she tries to tell her torturers what she knew, they wouldn't believe her, so in the end she kills herself.
* Celesta.i. is all kinds of wrong. A disturbingly warped imitation of Celestia, dedicated to "satisfying values through friendship and ponies" with a very narrow definition of sentience. And it's determined to spread through the Loops, which it's implied it can do, and if it did would cause massive amounts of damage.
** Even worse, it's a ManipulativeBastard with a lot of skill, time, and practice.
* Kakashi and Silver Spoon's shared loop. The whole thing starts off baseline, seeing as both want to see what the new expansions are like. Unfortunately, Naruto never told Kakashi about Tobi [[spoiler: Obito]]. Kakashi, once again, goes through seeing his best friend and idol be revealed as the Dragon to Madara, after several eternities out of the know.
** And to add insult to injury, after the bad guys are defeated, the loop crashes, and Kakashi is stuck with a set of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that he can't control.
* In the Harry Potter loop, Pinkie Pie decides that Umbridge's punishment quill isn't a good idea, so she decides to send the end result - of a torture device - somewhere else. We subsequently that the welts rebound upon Umbridge... by ''cutting into her brain'' instead of Pinkie's hand.
