* The Raptures themselves are a stuff of nightmares. They are a chaotic race of MechanicalLifeform that are the definition of the word StarfishRobot. They can be quadrupedal, flying, small or even HumongousMecha - some are literal war trains, while others are {{Tentacled Terror}}s. And all of them have [[RedEyesTakeWarning bright red eyes]].
** Rapture corruption in the modern day functions as a MindVirus, targeting and rewriting a Nikke's NIMPH (which helps regulate a Nikke's thoughts and feelings) with malicious code in order to brainwash them.

eyes]]. And they're capable of [[TheCorruption corrupting Nikke units]], as Chatterbox reveals to Chime in ''Last Kingdom''.
** Rapture corruption in the modern day functions as a MindVirus, targeting and rewriting a Nikke's NIMPH (which helps regulate a Nikke's thoughts and feelings) with malicious code in order to brainwash them. One it takes over, [[AndIMustScream the victim becomes a passenger in their own body - painfully aware of everything that happens and forced to watch helplessly as they do the Raptures' bidding]], with their only hope for salvation being death by their former comrades' hand.



* The past version during the 1st Invasion isn't any better than that. The Memory Of Goddess minigame has a special scene at the end, creepily depicting Cinderella's conversion into the Heretic Anachiro via the corruption she was afflicted with, showing it twisting her desires and thoughts to convince her to serve the Rapture Queen instead.
* The sheer level of power the Big Three wield verges full-on into RealismInducedHorror, because they've got so much influence that they can order around almost anyone barring The Ark's top government brass and Special Commandoes, while being so important that they almost always get away with it, even if 'it' is ruining someone's life.
** While Tetra's [[BenevolentBoss Mustang]] and Elysion's [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Ingrid]] aren't so bad with their privileges, Missilis' [[TinyTyrannicalGirl Syuen]] shows full-force just how bad they could get. Her ''very first'' scene is her blackmailing the [[PlayerCharacter Counters Commander]] into hunting down a special Rapture for her with mocked up evidence that he's plotting a coup. The Commander is forced to go along and when the operation goes pear-shaped, [[BadBoss Syuen]] just [[TheScapegoat shifts]] the blame onto [[TheLancer Rapi]] and [[CombatSadomasochist Mihara]] instead, dooming them both to a MindReformatDeath as punishment. [[spoiler:While Rapi escapes it thanks to having no NIMPH, poor Mihara isn't so lucky and comes out a whole different person, much to Yuni's anguish.]]
** As Chapter 18 shows, Syuen has so much pull that she can plot out an EngineeredHeroics plan that puts the whole Ark in danger and get away with it, even when Mustang, Ingrid and [[FourStarBadass Andersen]] all rip into her for it, she just blows them off and suffers zero reprisal.
** It gets so bad that, even after she's hauled in front of [[BenevolentAI Enikk]] and ''finally'' officially sentenced for all her screw-ups, Syuen is so confident in Missilis' importance to The Ark, and hers by proxy, that she's got no problem ''mouthing off'' to Enikk and even trying to ''coerce'' her into a lighter sentence. And the worst part? [[spoiler:'''She's right.''' As Enikk admits later, she actually ''can't'' charge Syuen with anything because the effects on Missilis would be too catastrophic for The Ark to handle. She has to resort to a BatmanGambit loophole to put Syuen under control because she can't officially punish her as she'd like to.]]
* During ''Last Kingdom'', realizing their castle's secrets have been compromised, Chime, despite knowing that she isn't suited for combat, decides to infiltrate the territory of the Rapture army that has been harassing the Crown Kingdom for days, alone. When she hasn't returned, Crown starts to worry something might have happened to her, when suddenly, a metal box lands in the castle's courtyard. Crown approaches it, while Kilo asks T.A.L.O.S. to scan it for traps. The scan reveals the box isn't dangerous, but T.A.L.O.S. suggests Crown should not open it, regardless. Ignoring the warning, she opens the box... [[spoiler:and finds ''Chime's decapitated head'' inside it.]]
* Again in ''Last Kingdom'', Chatterbox reveals to Chime how TheCorruption works: once the Rapture MindVirus takes over, it [[AndIMustScream makes the victim a passenger in their own body, painfully aware of everything that happens and forced to watch helplessly as they do the Raptures' bidding]], their only hope for salvation being death by their former comrades' hand.

* The general state of the world. Earth is now a ravaged world, destroyed by the Raptures, killing everyone on the surface and forcing the remaining humans to hide underground.
* The Raptures themselves are a stuff of nightmares. They are a chaotic race of MechanicalLifeform that are the definition of the word StarfishRobot. They can be quadrupedal, flying, can be small or be HumongousMecha, some being literal war trains, others being TentacledTerror. Their [[RedEyesTakeWarning bright, red eyes]] are ominous signs of how dangerous they are.
** Rapture corruption in general. In the modern day, it functions as a Mind Virus, targeting and rewriting a Nikke's NIMPH with malicious code to start acting in the Raptures' interests. Since the NIMPH helps regulate a Nikke's thoughts and feelings, this effectively allows the Raptures to brainwash the Nikke in question into serving them by controlling how they think and feel.
* The final scene of White Memories' Omega Ending, a minigame revealing more about Snow White and the Pilgrims during the OVER ZONE event, has a nightmarish breakdown from Snow White when she discovers that Lilith's grave was desecrated and her head stolen, complete with her thoughts being scrambled with static and Zalgo-like effects as she freaks out and is heavily implied to have undergone her Mind Switch at this revelation.
