* Much of the ParanoiaFuel both in the show and in a meta sense. Many of the early deaths look like gruesome, but every day accidents. It gives anyone watching the impression that it's not as accidental as they think it is.

** Yumi Ogura's psychotic breakdown. She joins the chase to kill Mei, and tries to follow her and Sakikabara out a window, determined to avenge the death of her brother, panting and screaming and waving around a knife. When she thinks she has Mei cornered, she has a horrible, blood-spattered SlasherSmile... and then she falls off the window to her death by a broken neck.

* In [[WhamEpisode Episode 3]], things go from zero to sixty in about three seconds. [[spoiler: To wit, Yukari Sakuragi sees Mei in the hall, panics, and flees down the stairs, whereupon she trips and gets ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice on [[ParasolOfPain her umbrella]]. ''And it's shown in graphic detail.'']]
** [[spoiler:The worst part is seeing her fingers twitch in her own blood.]]
* Then there's Episode 4... not only does it recap [[spoiler: Sakuragi's]] death in the ColdOpen, [[spoiler: Mizuno]] is killed in a malfunctioning elevator. They don't show her face being crushed in as she falls down once, but ''three'' times!

* In Episode 5, we get a close-up of [[spoiler: Tabakayashi's face as he suffers a fatal heart attack. ''His eyes are practically bulging out of his head.'']]
* The ending of Episode 6. [[spoiler: Mr. Kubodera stumbles into the classroom, apologizes to the students for allowing the Calamity to start, then howls like a crazed animal as he pulls out a ''giant butcher knife''.]] Cut to credits.

GenkiGirl Aya Ayano gives a BigNo, half the class bolt for the doors while poor Aya is in hysterics and holding her head, Yumi Ogura sits on the floor having a HeroicBSOD, ill student Daisuke Wakui throws up, and in the background, Tomohiko Kazami just sits at his desk covered in blood looking traumatised...]]

* For the most part, Episode 8 is a BreatherEpisode. Then the ending happens. [[spoiler: Nakao suffers an aneurysm while swimming after a beach ball. Then a boat speeds by, not seeing him as he bobs in the water, and chops his body to pieces. ''It stains the water red''. Then we get to see his limp, bloodied body launched into the air. The [[ScareChord accompanying music]] does not help.]]
** The atmosphere of sheer panic as the others think something has happened to [[spoiler: Nakao]]. It makes the above that much worse when it actually happens, because at first, everything seems to be fine. They all thought they were safe outside the town, but it seems the Calamity can happen anywhere now. [[spoiler: Even when the audience learns that Nakao's demise was a TimeDelayedDeath that would've happened whether in Yomiyama or not, by that time the revelation ''really'' doesn't help.]]

** [[spoiler: During the flashback to the year the Calamity was stopped mid-year, Matsunaga describes how the first student to die on the trip was struck by lightning. The kid, Jun Hamaguchi, was standing right in front of him, and the audience gets to ''watch Hamaguchi be struck''. Matsunaga even describes what Hamaguchi's burning flesh smelled like. After that, his classmate Yuki Hoshikawa tries to escape with the others back home, and she's shown slipping on the wet road and falling off a cliff to her death, her body hitting several trees and rocks on her way down...]]
** And there's ''how'' [[spoiler: the Calamity was stopped]]. [[spoiler: By Matsunaga ''killing the extra student'' via pushing him to the ground in the middle of a fistfight and accidentally causing him to get his throat pierced on a tree branch.]]

** Teshigawara and Mochizuki opening one of the hotel room doors to find the insane, blood spattered, knife-wielding old lady who lives in the house, who then proceeds to try and stab them.
