** [[spoiler:Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon's summoning, which shows parts of Dark Rebellion's body flashing violet and distorting wildly, almost as if the Solid Vision itself were glitching out. The worst is probably the close-up on its twitching claw with a very disturbing {{Undercrank}}-ish effect, rendered in eerily realistic CGI. Made even ''worse'' if the BGM is replaced with a ''[[VideoGame/GodOfWarSeries God Of War]]''-style OminousLatinChanting.]]

*** As a matter of fact, the dub ''tries'' to soften Sergey up by swapping out the CreepyMonotone for a LargeHam HuskyRusky characterization. This actually makes him ''more'' frightening, as he now comes off as an AxCrazy {{Sadist}}.

As arguably the darkest ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' series thus far, it's no surprise that ''ARC-V''has more than its share of terrifying scenes. This is, after all, the series that serves as a DeconstructorFleet of the franchise as a whole.

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

And then there are times when it decides to go ''even further''.

*** [[spoiler:Later becomes a CrowningMomentOfAwesome when Kurosaki mounts his Revolution Falcon to save Tanner.]]

** Following up from the final moments of the previous episode, Sora goes all-out [[AxCrazy Vector]] in this episode. And it is REALLY creepy how he talks down Kurosaki and considers Xyz users to be far below him. Sora openly describes how he and his group considers Xyz users to be prey for their "Hunting Game", saying that it is something that they do ''for fun''. In short, the implication is that Kurosaki's world was destroyed for no other reason than the Fusion faction's enjoyment. It goes a long way in explaining Kurosaki and Yuto's personalities... [[spoiler:Despite the reveal of Sora's true nature, Kurosaki still completely wiped the floor with him in a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.]]

* What happens Masumi to a lesser extent, considering her terror upon seeing Kurosaki, and seeing the gouge marks, making her very fearful for what happened to Marco. Not to mention the cry of the monster that did it, which sounds extremely eerie.

** The method by which [[spoiler:Rin, Ruri, and Serena]] are being controlled is horrifying and [[{{Squick}} disgusting]]. [[spoiler:The Doktor has real versions of Parasite Fusioner implanted in their heads, latched onto their brains, influencing their very thoughts. The Doktor can also remotely control them, allowing him to speak through them. The look on Rin's face shows she clearly has no control, that she is an EmptyShell when he does this. Worst part though, is that when Serena leaves, [[{{Squick}} the monster's tail can be seen coming out of her ear.]]]]

** As it turns out, the Parasite Fusioners are basically Yeerks from Literature/{{Animorphs}}; they take control of the host and leave them stuck inside their mind. Ruri crying out for the Parasite to stop gets a whole lot worse when you consider that not only did Rin likely do the same thing to Yugo - but [[spoiler:she failed.]]

** Jesus, the Survival Duel is messed up. First, there's the fact that it's a Battle Royal where the losers get carded until LastManStanding, meaning that the Academia students will have to (and are perfectly fine with) card their own allies eventually. And then there's BB (a.k.a. Battle Beast), a Duelist who cards whoever he comes across and as his name indicates seems to be more of a wild beast than a human. Add to all this? The students, even the ones watching, are terrified, and Sanders doesn't give a damn.

*** Actually, it just means the Crystal was overloaded with energy because the principal hadn't cleared it out in a while.

* [[spoiler: Zarc's Ressurection scheme was only possible because of Leo's planning. His school and plan broke one Zarc Fragment mentally while the other's had no reason to duel for violence until Academia sent Yuri to take Rin then invade Heartland taking Ruri traumatizing Yuto who was then accused by Yugo of taking Rin, once Yuya and the lancers get involved Academia's tampering allows Zarc to Manipulate the stage from behind getting the Four Versions of himself to finally meet and ressurect himself, failing once because Yuzu was able to Seperate the four just in time but due to Revival Zero none of the Girls were around to prevent Yugo or Yuri from fially remerging.]]

-->'''Sora''': "Yeah. [[GenreSavvy You're probably right]]."
