Main series

    Episode 1: I Am King 
  • The Bognaarok are no slouches when it comes to their invasion of Shugoddam, easily demolishing the walls of the kingdom and directly attacking the people.
  • Racules revealing himself to be a tyrant hellbent consolidating power, using the invasion on his kingdom to wipe out the other monarchs. When Gira questions how he's so willing to sacrifice his kingdom, he casually states that he views the people as tools for his goals.

    Episode 2: A King for Whose Sake 
  • Dethnaarok casually demolishing part of N'Kosopa with just his tentacles.

    Episode 3: To Willfully Devote 
  • We get a scene of the Bognaarok where they flat out say their mission is to kill humanity and that it doesn't even matter if 100 of them die as long as they kill 101 people in the process.
    • To say nothing of the lair the Bognaarok actually resides in. There's no big, sprawling castle that they call their own, there's no entire continent they can rest on. It's a dingy, dirty underground tunnel that is, literally, crawling with Sanagim, peppered with holes and screaming and cheering. It adds such an uncomfortable layer that these are literally monsters that rest under our very feet, without anyone knowing any better.

    Episode 7: The Fury of the Gods 
  • The titular "Fury of the Gods", as recounted by Himeno, is truly terrifying. An event where the skies turned red and swarms of cicada-like Semishugods descended on the kingdoms, ravaging them and injuring thousands. The aftermath, with rubble scattered everywhere and Ishibana struggling to treat all the wounded, looks eerily close to the aftermath of a war zone.
    • There's no explanation for why this happened, either - the swarms just attacked without warning. Just what the hell did humanity do that caused their own protector gods to turn against them?!

    Episode 8: King And Prince In Trial By Combat 
  • It's revealed that Shugoddam didn't lift a finger to aid the other kingdoms during the Fury of the Gods, leaving all of them to be ravaged by the Semishugod swarms. The implication is that Racules might have deliberately caused this to happen, meaning his scheming started long before the events of the series!
  • In this episode, we're shown how deadly the God Scorpion's venom is. As demonstrated by Kaguragi in front of Racules, using a bucket of fish by dropping it into the water. A single drop is apparently strong enough to kill the fish.
    • Then as implied, during the murder of Hymeno's parents, the assassin injected them both with high doses of God Scorpion's poison.

    Episode 9: Gira On The Run 
  • As if Dethnaarok wasn't terrifying enough, he manages to single-handedly wipe the floor with the other four monarchs, and Gira only learns this after the Bognaarok ruler makes his move towards him. And if this isn't bad enough, he took the time to nourish the remaining four cocoons while defeating each.

    Episode 11: Mysterious! The Man in the Spider Mask 
  • Jeremy's mask. Necessary? Maybe. Ridiculously creepy to look at? Kiss your sweet dreams a final farewell.
  • Jeremy being able to paralyze and then fire his weapon point-blank at Dethnaarok, who overpowered the Ohsama Sentai in one-on-one fights. Played further that Jeremy did not transform at the time to display how dangerous he could be to his enemies.

    Episode 13: The Angry Spider 
  • God Tarantula's introduction: the sun suddenly goes dark as a giant spider climbs down from the sky and lets out a disturbing roar. Adding to it, the thing is gigantic hairy spider. It fits right in with Jeremy's proclamation that if he can't teach Bognaarok and humans with kindness, then he will do it with fear.
    • God Tarantula's ability to control other Shuggods that are caught in its webbing, using them as weapons it can swing at enemies or as shields to protect itself with.

    Episode 14: Together with Moffun 
  • Hymeno's Unstoppable Rage when she assumes Jeremy has anything to do with the "Fury of the Gods"; the man's trolling attitude nearly gets him killed, as she was very prepared to execute him outside of his suit due to being that angry.

    Episode 17: A King Does Not Flee 
  • It's immediately made clear why Daigorg is revered by the Bognaarok Empire, as not only is he able to take out two opponents, but he also took out the wild card juggernaut Jeramie. And he did this just with the gust from one swing of his weapon.

    Episode 22: Great Gathering of Shugods 
  • Daigorg eating the four Guardian's souls causes even the mighty Shugods to tremble in fear and refuse to even act.

    Episode 23: Shugoddam's Moving Castle 
  • Kofuki's malnourished sees him passed out with his eyes wide open, accompanied by severe dark circles. If you look closely, you can see many candy wrappers strewn all around his body, heavily implying that he was sustaining himself on Vedalia's candy stash for at least a couple of weeks before he was found.

    Episode 24: King of the In-Between vs King of the Abyss 
  • To erase the Bognaarok's "dishonor" brought about by Jeramie's legend, Dethnaarok revolves to throw himself in Tikyū's core and wipe the planet out from the inside.

    Episode 26: Birth of a New Kingdom 
  • Deep within the subterranean, in the domains of the Bognaarok, there is an open grave for all the Shugods whose souls have been consumed. Jeramie had to forewarn the team that the sight might be too much for them.
  • Dethnaarok ultimately meets his end not by any of the heroes, but by a giant beam of light from the edges of outer space that utterly VAPORIZES his body. Considering how ridiculously hard it was for even God King-Ohger to kill him, this makes it clear that the next threat of the series is well above anything the monarchs have faced before.

    Episode 27: The Galactinsect King Cometh 
  • Dagded Dujardin, the new major antagonist, is terrifying in a multitude of ways:
    • His arrival is heralded by the same swarm that came to be known as the Fury of the Gods.
    • The mere thought of his approaching scares God Kuwagata so much that he only muttered "It's coming!" to Gira before hiding.
    • When Gira misunderstands Dagded Dujardin's name, the King of the Universe creates portals and drops giant rocks that appears to be miniature planets all over Shugoddom before correcting Gira with a very serious tone.
    • Casually takes Gira on a stroll across multiple planets he single-handedly wiped by causing the people in them to kill each other to extinction.
      • Prior to that, there's the silent scene where Gira is choking to death due to space lacking oxygen and would have most certainly died if Dagded decided to leave him be.
    • The reason for the above is simply because he thought cleaning his room, which is literally the universe in a box, was boring and thought he could spice things up by having the planets clean up after themselves.
    • To drive home how big of a deal he is, Dagded Dujardin casually flickers a random pebble in his room at Terra, which turns out to pelt the planet as multiple meteorites, and casually admits he almost overdid it.
    • While it is not shown for obvious reason (this is still a kids show after all), considering the scale of the disaster, it is very unlikely that no civilian gets instantly killed when he dropped giant rocks on Shugoddom, twice (one when Gira gets his name wrong, and another when he flicked meteorites into the planet).

    Episode 28: Shuffle Kings! 
  • While it is played for laughs, the intent of the body swap plays into the Galactinsects' modus operandi in a subtly disturbing way: find a way to sow discontent amongst two or more opposing groups.
  • When the retainers attack the kings while under mind control, we can see that Sebastian and Douga are using swords, Shirokara smashes Rita across the face with a baseball bat, Kuroda punches Hymeno hard enough to draw blood, Gerojim just flat out claws Gira and Morphonia simply sticks a knife between Yanma's ribs. While it is shown from a distance, it is clearly shown that blood is being split all over the screen in a quick, but brutal manner. The lack of a soundtrack playing makes this scene even more disturbing to watch.

    Episode 29: Unqualified King 
  • Hillbill's ability is explained in a frightening detail: she can whisper a suggestion that causes one's insecurities and thoughts to take over them in full force, and she demonstrates it by suggesting Akka and Cleo that their enemies must be killed, and since they saw all other nations as their enemy due to the retainers attacking each other's monarch prior, things escalated fast.
    • And she gets to demonstrate this on Jeramie, showing that even his desire for peaceful coexistence means she can force him to not do her harm.
  • For once Gira is truly frightening: the moment he goes to fetch his OhgerCalibur, there's a trailing red glint in his eyes to show how angry he truly is at Hillbill's mocking of Jeramie's selfless act, and soon after he transforms his first action is to hit her overhead so hard that she crashes through the floor and into the city below, still reeling from the impact.
    • Not only Gira, but the entire Ohger Sentai throws away all their flair for brutal efficiency when delivering Hillbill a well-deserved beatdown.

    Episode 30: Frozen Balance 
  • The four other Jesters may be played for laughs, but not Grodie. Everything about him screams fear and dread, and his power to revive the dead as mindless zombies doesn't help. He is also the one who caused the Fury of the Gods, an event that brought calamity upon Tikyu.

    Episode 31: Love Lasting 2000 Years 
  • Grodie’s resurrected Nephillia proves even more ghoulish than the resurrections in the last episode, given that she seems to have something resembling a mind of her own.
    Nephillia: Jeramie, why did you leave your mother and hang out with the bad kids?

    Episode 35: Don't Cry, Slack-jawed Tanuki 
  • The Thunderclapper's electrocution function is put into a less than flattering light when - to keep himself from hitting Yanma - Shiokara uses it to commit a gradual suicide. And that's not even the top of the episode's ghoulishness.

    Episode 37: Iroki's Rebellion 
  • Grodie's monster form and the return of Iroki. YIKES.
    • Though Iroki's return is lessened by the fact she was never truly evil and it is even explained how, Grodie is shown to be far more terrifying: He poisoned the rice, intended on killing the nation from within, and tarnishing Toufu's reputation, and would have succeeded if it wasn't for Iroki seeing through his plans and hoarding the rice for herself... And this is even before we see the horror that is his true form.
  • Iroki didn't just die from poisoning, she burned to death as well, and her arm is still scarred by the terrible burns, showing she must have felt herself burn to death before breathing her last.

    Episode 43: The King's Great Sin 
  • Causus planned to have Gira be fed the souls of Shugods to empower him and at the same time erase his memories, by disguising it as Rainbow Jururira. The aftermath of one serving of God Kuwagata's soul caused young!Gira to run a fever and go berserk, trying to kill Causus.
  • Dagded appearing out of Minogan's corpse. YIKES.
    • To make matters worse, he warns that "from here on it is about to get waaaaaaay worse."

    Episode 44: The King's Proof! True Six Kingdoms Alliance 
  • Yanma, being influenced by Hilbill's ability, uses his King's Proof to zap his friends, and cause a huge thunderstorm over Shugoddam, complete with a Slasher Smile and deranged laughing.

    Episode 45: Heirs Of The King 
  • While having to deal with Minogan, the monarchs reminds themselves to be careful or else they may end up spawning another Dagded. As if only one isn't bad enough.

    Episode 46: Behold the Beauty of Life 
  • Grodie is effectively what Gira would have become if Causus went on with his plan: an immortal killing machine with no memory and intense urge to kill. And unlike Gira, Grodie has loads of Shuggod souls inside him, courtesy of Dugded feeding a dead person a lot of them.

     Episode 47: Silence God 
  • Dugded states that Grodie single-handedly was responsible for wiping out all life in the planet of the Bognaarok, all because their leader wanted an ultimate killing machine and got tricked by the Galactinsect King. And to make matters worse, he knew Causus wanted to pull the same stunt and was setting up so that Gira would turn into a second Grodie.

     Episode 48: Farewell, Dear People 
  • As the monarchs are discussing a plan to make a more powerful King Ohger, enough to take on the universe-sized Dugded, they are interrupted by Dugded appearing on Shuggodam's throne and stating that he changed his mind and is going to destroy them now.
  • The situation has grown so hopeless that even before their meeting the monarchs had an evacuation plan at ready, and said plan is all about buying time until a future generation can figure a way to kill the Galactinsect King.
