** Masumi could have died when she was thrown off the bridge. Who thought that action field was a good idea?

** How Reira sees everything as a void of darkness shows that his psicological damage is incredibly deep for a 9-10 kid.

* Episode 28: Reira is standing around, until he sees his mother through the window, a disturbing expression on her face, and then he rushes to duel. Even if it was just a hallucination and not actually his mother, it still shows how badly she has damaged his psyche.

** Nico was pretty creepy at the end. There is something off about him when he gives a dead stare to the screen while wondering if Yuya will be a first rate star.

* What happens Masumi to a lesser extent, considering her terror upon seeing Shun, and seeing the gouge marks, making her very fearful for what happened to Marco.
* Episode 22: Mieru chillingly predicts he will be grievously wounded if he continues the duel, and asks him to surrender.

* Episode 24: Shun duels Masumi, Hokuto and Yaiba and wipes them up with an attack of [[spoiler:'''16,400 points!''']] Shun, just like Yuto can make the attacks tangible, even outside of Action Duels. The whirlwind alone was enough to send them a lot of feet away and painfully meet the ground, now imagine if it would had been a ''direct attack''...

* Episode 26, Reiji has Masumi, Hokuto, and Yaiba's memories of Shun erased, and from the way he talks about this this wasn't a big deal for him to do; how many memories has this guy messed with?

* Episode 25's flashback sequence, showing just how messed up Yuya is emotionally, as everyone snickers and teases him, appearing as blackened, warped shadows. Crosses into tearjerker territory as well.

** After their defeat, he is standing over Masumi, looking a lot like a sexual predator. Since she is a Fusion user, it looks like he would have turned her into a card.

** Even more - the Principal of Hieru's school tries to look into Yuya with her crystal ball...and it breaks. Which, going by occultist methodology, is absolutely never a good sign.

* Episode 22: Hieru chillingly predicts he will be grievously wounded if he continues the duel, and asks him to surrender.

''Franchise/YuGiOhÄÄ as a whole always did lean towards a more scary and disturbing plotline than its contemporary {{Pokemon}}, but there are times a series tries to outdo itself.

** Made worse if one considers the implications behind Yuya and Yuto looking alike, and whether it applies to both or the other instead.

* Everything that happens to Yuzu in episode 21. In a matter of minutes, she gets accused of knowing something about a duelist who has defeated LDS elites, meets the ''real'' culprit, gets mistaken for somebody else and is yelled at by said culprit, sees Yuya's lookalike, is told by the lookalike what to do, and then once again, he is teleported by her mystical bracelet just as Yuya arrives. By the end of it, she looks like she's in sheer terror over what's going on around her, which is a pretty justifiable reaction. Her life completely changed in a matter of days or weeks, and she (nor the readers) has no idea why this is all happening to her.

* NightmareFuel:
** Sawatari getting "nearly" skewered, regardless how bad he was acting, invoked some nasty imagery. It seemed like he wasn't expecting that to hurt ''when it did.''
** How about Hokuto's SanitySlippage near the end of episode 9? He rains down freakin' meteors to kill Yuya when Yuya just does 500 damage to him while he still has all 4000 life points. Not to mention the nightmarish close up on Hokuto's face and the fact that this came out of nowhere since up to this point he was in control of the Duel, and just an arrogant jerk.
** There's something...unpleasant about watching Yuya's monsters getting force-fed in Episode 16 to the point that they fatten up into spheres, Violet Beauregard-style, then get destroyed.
** Episode 18, the fear on the faces of those that have their souls stolen by Shun, and his xyz monster while framed in shadow, destroying the LDS employees.
