*** Minor, but Kyrie laments she knows how it feels to have both a person and a cause you believe in so strongly let you down. Seems Credo's actions still sting, even if he made up for it.
** Patty's sadness at being evacuated with the rest of the civilians, lamenting being unable to help her FamilyOfChoice.
** The reveal that the actual Future Rogue hasn't existed for ''years'', Legion having taken full control of his body, as well as how it came to be. Some point in the future, an Ice Devil Slayer killed Frosch and Yukino (Rogue's closest companion and LoveInterest respectively), leading to him consuming excessive amounts of demonic energy in his revenge driven state. Actually ''achieving'' his revenge left him [[VengeanceFeelsEmpty with nothing to live for]], and Legion made sure to kill Sting shortly afterwards, just to ensure he'd ''never'' regain the will to resist. Poor guy was out through the absolute wringer.
*** Legion also reveals that he managed to kill his timeline's Dante, proudly showing off Rebellion as proof. Vergil nonchalantly confirms he was aware of this, indicating he's known all along he's working with the person that killed his brother.
** Hisui's shock at learning how she was deceived, "Future Rogue" having used her concern for her kingdom to put it in danger in the first place. While she's largely responsible for the current crisis, it's hard not to feel bad for her, barely responding before Lucy angrily jolts her.

After defeating a powerful demon, he Shadow Dragon was afflicted with a potent and ''painful'' curse that ate away at his very spirit.

* Ch 48 ''Mastermind''
** Throughout the Grand Magic Games arc the relationship between Vergil and his cousin and brother has been greatly improving with it looking like there was a serious chance of reconciliation. In this chapter it all comes crashing down.
** Its revealed that Vergil is the true mastermind behind everything that has happened in Crocus and has come up with a plan to kill Acnologia and Mundus. He makes it very clear that at his core his belief that strength is more important then anything hasn't changed at all. Despite all that however he also makes it clear that he does care about Dante and Lucy and even seems somewhat sad when they refuse stating that they will always be at odds.
** The chapter ends with Dante and Vergil once again at each others throats with the former roaring that Vergil has crossed a line. Even Lucy who has been nothing but patient with Vergil up until now is furious and heartbroken with him over the death of Future Lucy which he had a hand in.

* Ch 45 ''A Love That Transcends Time''
** A flashback shows how Kurenai first met Kagura, in the burnt remains of her hometown. The noble demon bitterly laments being too late to save anyone, as well as the fact that the ones responsible for the tragedy used her old friends name as justification. The sole survivor she finds is a scared young girl hiding in a barrel, who breaks down after hearing that no one else (including her parents and brother) was left.
*** Even after being taken in the young Kagura still has vivid nightmares, waking up crying and screaming for them not to take her.
** Kagura's state throughout the chapter, falling deeper and deeper under the influence of Archenemy, to the increasing worry of Kurenai and her guildmates. The once proud warrior is reduced to attacking in a savage frenzy, her Devil Arms aura steadily spreading from her arm to the rest of her body as she attempts to ''murder'' her opponent.
*** Amongst all those watching, Kurenai is the most distressed at seeing her daughter in such a state, and comes to the sad realisation that she never taught her to let go of her anger, merely bottle it up. Which led to devastating consequences.
*** After breaking free of Archenemy's influence, Kagura herself breaks down [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone at nearly becoming what she hates]], tearfully apologising to her brother and mother.
** Future Lucy's account of the future, where dragons showed up in the middle of Fairy Tails rescue attempt, laying waste to Crocus and killing everyone but herself, Levy, and Lisanna. The last she saw of the latter was the Strauss sibling pushing her through the Eclipse Gate just as dragons closed in, her expression making her friends fate clear.
*** Future Lucy even ''using'' the Eclipse Gate came with deadly consequences. Lacking two of the Zodiac Keys, she was forced to substitute ''her own life force'', leaving her incredibly weakened, next to no magic power, dried and cracked skin, and she states that she has very little time to live even if they ''do'' make it through this. Even the likes of Wendy and Kyrie's magic have no effect whatsoever, apparently leaving her fate sealed.
*** The fact that Future Lucy was so weakened by the trip she fainted almost immediately and spent most of the days she gained unconscious. Even after all she sacrificed, it came dangerously close to being AllForNothing, a fact that clearly terrifies her. She laments not being able to do more than give them a warning, and breaks down after some reassurance from the others.
