Nightmare Fuel / Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman

• Even for a Sentai Big Bad, Meadow has a very eerie appearance. She's has a floating, disembodied face surrounded by a rainbow mane being projected from an unknown point across space with an almost angelic aura around her, which makes it all the more creepy when she gives out destructive and genocidal orders.
• Episode 1 starts off with the Hoshikawa Family having two innocent adorable aliens, Iya and Touya, serving as their companions and adopted family. Both are killed almost immediately by the Zone arriving to destroy the Sidon Flowers they all grew in an attempt to repopulate their devastated planet, giving the audience a major wake-up call of the villains' threat.
• In the third episode, the MoTW Torarugin's M.O. is to possess people and use their bodies against their will. The person is still fully aware and conscious, but their bodies are basically marionettes with Torarugin pulling the strings. Torarugin takes over one of the Hoshikawa siblings' young students and forces him to not only attack his teacher, but also to pilot a flying battleship and attack a city, killing hundreds of innocent people with the small child in the pilot seat desperately protesting all the while. That kid's gonna need some serious therapy. Oh, also Torarugin's possession eventually kills whomever he's possessing, so (having been possessed for quite some time) who knows what the long-term effects on the kid's body are going to be?
• The revelation in #45 that Vulgyre is a Living Ship, with his metal walls covering up some very creepy pulsating veins. Everyone in Zone is is quite disturbed by this, since none of them, not even Chevalier, had known the truth (Gaku had discovered it, testing his hypothesis by first stabbing his Fiveblaster's sword form into the floor, then chucking it into a wall, which crumbles apart to reveal the aforementioned veins).
• Doldora's breakdown in #46 is hard to watch. Even if she's a villain, you can't help but feel bad for her. She goes completely hysterical upon learning that Meadow was little more than an illusion and all her faithful service was for naught. It gets even more disturbing when Vulgyre fuses her with Zaza to create a semi-sapient Combined Galactic Warrior (which noticeably disturbs Billion).
  • From the same episode, after Vulgyre's ship form crashes in the mountains, the image of Meadow breaks into pieces...and a creepy, distorted voice echoes throughout the interior before informing Zone he is Vulgyre, and that he was in fact Meadow as well.
• Episode #47:
  • First, two members of Zone try to defect upon learning of the true nature of Vulgyre, the latter responds by vaporizing them quickly, horrifying even Dongoros, and making it clear to the remaining members of Zone that they cannot even dare to quit now.
  • Vulgyre's Galactic Super Beast transformation. He absorbs the blood of the countless innocents Captain Chevalier slaughtered to power himself up, all while letting out a disturbingly unnatural Evil Laugh, right before revealing his true form as a multi-tentacled and unstoppable Botanical Abomination. The episode ends on Vulgyre's silhouette looming over everything.
• The final episode sees the now Galactic Super Beast Vulgyre going on a rampage in a final attempt to destroy the Earth and obtain immortality, leveling an entire city as civilians run around and scream in terror. All while No Selling everything the Fivemen try to throw at it — the Diamond Max just bounces right off, and he quickly begins to completely wreck Max Magma.
  • We also learn who Meadow really was — an innocent woman whom Vulgyre lusted after in the past. When she died while fleeing from him, Vulgyre opted to entomb her body and soul within himself, leaving her helpless as he used her visage to lead an interstellar campaign of death and destruction. The Fivemen's Sidon flowers ended up releasing her soul, causing her body to quickly rot away into nothing.
