History NightmareFuel / VioletEvergarden

* The battle of Intense itself is nothing short of one long nightmare for both Violet and Gilbert. Special mention goes to the scenes where she loses her arms, as she’s so desperate to save him that she barley even seems to notice her own limbs falling off one at a time.

* Telesis continent draws a lot from our 19th century including all of it's negatives. Long distance travel is still dangerous, highwaymen and robberies are still a very real threat, discrimination against women is still a thing, and wars break out every so often. It's pretty telling that during Violet and Benedict's motorcycle trip in Volume 2, both of them carry a gun each.

** The way her arms just ''slink'' off of her, and that nasty wet noise accompanying it. ''Ugh''.

* The state Violet is in throughout episode 9. [[spoiler:Where she's normally cold and unemotional, she is suddenly mentally broken down, to the point where she believes she neither has the right to live nor anything or anyone left to live for. The scene right after her nightmare, where she ''attempts to choke herself to death with her metallic hands'', while definitely a TearJerker, is nothing short of NightmareFuel!]] Thankfully, she gets better after receiving her first ever letter.

** The night before the battle of Intense, it is revealed that [[spoiler:Violet has murdered countless of Leidenschaftlich's ''own'' soldiers at night, because they tried to molest her. As a result, Gilbert decides that he and Violet will be sleeping side by side in the supply-tent, to avoid having Violet kill more of their own soldiers just before the final battle.]]

** The idea of someone taking advantage of [[spoiler:war orphans]] is sickening all by itself.

-->'''Sister Lisbon''': “[[spoiler:Even if you haven’t done anything yet, you eventually might. Your existence is a bother. To put it simply, we are… afraid of those like you. That is why we worship, respect and kill you.]]”

** Dietfried's gruesome display of her skill to Gilbert. [[spoiler:Sure, the victims are petty thieves who killed Dietfried's men for food. But have a girl who is not even 10 years old doing it?]]

* God-worshiping "Utopia" in Volume 2 of the novel: [[spoiler:a cult of 'nuns' who took in war orphans of specific racial features and raise them as a 'demigod' according to fables, made to never leave the island by killing them when they reach 14 years old all to uphold their delusional belief that all humans are impure at heart]].

** Gilbert skirting his own DespairEventHorizon during Violet's training, [[spoiler:[[NotSoStoic yelling "Kill!!"]] at Violet to finally move her and fatally maim the prisoners much to Claudia's shock]].

The world of Violet Evergarden is much like real life; grandiose in some places, pitch black in others.

* Violet Evergarden herself. When Leidenschaftlich first found her, this girl who can't even speak [[spoiler:[[KillerRabbit butchers]] several trained navy sailors who try to molest her with a stick]]. No one knows where she got that from and why.
