3* The entire Prologue and what happens to the DecoyProtagonist. Those familiar with the tropes presented early on may get an unpleasant shock when they realize that this is what it's like to ''be an NPC''. And for people used to being some variant of TheProtagonist it is '''''terrifying'''''.
4* Two of the optional scenes you can find on the fourth day stand out. There's your potential first encounter with Rani VIII, who very casually ''tries to destroy the school'', then comments on how sturdy it is to you. Then there's the scene on the first floor with Shinji realizing something's wrong while Sakura starts speaking very oddly...
5** The latter may be even worse when you consider that Shinji is really just eight years old: Specifically, his line about "always wanting a little sister, but..."
6** The latter might be a sign of things in ''Fate/Extra CCC''.
7* The creeping horror of seeing the hallways slowly empty of both rude and friendly [=NPCs=] alike. If the diminishing numbers at the end of the week doesn't make it clear just how many people are killing and being killed, the increasingly deserted school-grounds will.
8* The [[SickeninglySweethearts gushing couple]] on the first floor who decided to participate together. The guy eventually begins to realize that there's no way they can both win, even asking you to 'keep his honey company' if he dies, but the girl remains oblivious and optimistic until they're forced to fight each other and she kills him.
9--> [[DespairEventHorizon "... I can kill anyone now."]]
10** Possible FridgeHorror when you consider that the Moon Cell/Holy Grail's purpose is to observe humanity, and Archer's comment that it may have chosen a high school setting to observe Masters in non-combat situations. The Moon Cell is creator and arbiter of everything within the confines of its Reality Marble and could easily have arranged "interesting" circumstances to observe the results.
11** That week also focuses on the Master's willpower being necessary for a win: A Master with doubts or conflicting goals will lose. Since they mention the guy's Servant being exceptionally powerful - he was able to brute-strength his prior matches without info or True Names - it's implied that his unwillingness to kill his girlfriend was his downfall.
12* Li'l Ronnie ''[[ImAHumanitarian eating people]]'', including her parents and '''''her young child'''''.
13--> "This clown isn't happy. Not at all."
14** Her voice will send shivers down your spine.
15* Possible FridgeHorror: Julius' second 'vision' implies his "failure" status - as a result of the surgery, possibly? - means he ages at twice the normal rate, and he'll probably live 'til twenty-five tops. Given how old he appears to be in-world, is he actually YoungerThanHeLooks?
16** This is ''confirmed'' by Leo in ''CCC'' and [[AllThereInTheManual interviews]]. And it's actually [[FromBadToWorse worse]], as according to the manual, the real-life Julius is already in such a critical state that machines are the only thing keeping him alive and Julius himself ''doesn't even expect to return to the real world alive''. [[JerkassWoobie No wonder he's the way he is!]]
17* Those random fragments of stone pillars in the final area, including the pile Twice is sitting on, [[FridgeHorror aren't pillars]]. They're sarcophagi, housing the representations - or possibly even the literal bodies, depending on how you look at it - of everyone who died in the prior Moon Cell wars, hence why the screen pans across them when he mentions how "this world was buried in a mountain of corpses" before he won. And he's ''sitting on a pile of them'' like it's a stack of logs. Plus, note how they're stacked up towards the Moon Cell: [[WildMassGuessing Could they be the coffins of those you've defeated?]] Is the topmost one, for example, Leo's?
18* On the first day of the third week, you have your first encounter with Assassin, he seems friendly enough, but only the interference of your Servant saves your life. Once you get out, you see Kuzuki (or rather, Julius) watching you. He's surprised that you managed to survive, and decides that you need to be "dispatched". As he moves toward you, you note that "he's looking at my neck". Thank God Rin chooses that moment to make herself known.
19* BB's Alter Egos in ''CCC''. [[AbhorrentAdmirer Passionlip]] whose skills [[ConspicuouslySelectivePerception makes her completely unaware of]] her [[FanDisservice exaggerated body proportions and her gigantic claws]] and turn ''her'' into an abuse-magnet. While she's pretty nice and shy, [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength those skills make her really dangerous to be with]] and since she [[MadLove loves]] them so much, [[{{Yandere}} she won't let go of Hakuno]]. Not to mention her [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Punishment Time]] being played [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything like sexual assault.]]
20** Then there's [[ArmedLegs Meltryllis]] who ''is'' aware of her robotic body (although her legs are removable) but whose skills turn her into a SenseFreak who can't even move her fingers and can only be satisfied [[BloodKnight by fighting]]. Unlike Passionlip who at least tries to engage into friendly conversation with Hakuno, she ''doesn't even care'' about what Hakuno likes or wants because in the end they [[TheAssimilator will be her]]. And she's such a {{Sadist}} that she even went out of her way into following and killing random Hakuno decoys, ''even after knowing that they were decoys'', because she was enjoying their screams and blood so much ([[SexIsViolence the ecstasy on her voice as she tells you this is almost tangible]]). Even BB herself finds her a threat.
21* Losing to BB in the final boss of CCC's normal route has her start by vaporizing your Servant, before decompiling your body into data [[FateWorseThanDeath as she explains what that piece of you will be repurposed as.]] The kicker is what she plans to use your consciousness/soul for: [[AndIMustScream an endlessly mutating program used to redistribute gene data, designed to be killed and reborn over and over.]]
