While most of Princess Evangile is comedic and lighthearted, there are still several tense, sometimes even genuinely dark and frightening moments, scattered in-between.
- Rise's flashback story in Chapter 11. It involves her being at a summer festival with an unknown boy she nicknamed "Chien", when suddenly the place becomes lit in flames, and a mysterious figure begins stalking and trying to attack her and the boy. She manages to escape thanks to him blocking the assailant, but she never gets a chance to see him again, and it's heavily assumed that he was killed by the psycho. Now just imagine enjoying a festival and having to deal with this at a young age...
- Provided you play Rise's route, it gets worse. The perpetrator turns out to be her own mother, and the boy who protected her was Masaya, who did almost die from the wound inflicted on him.
- Imagine being on-the-run with your father from Evil Debt Collectors for over a year, almost completely broke save for a handful of pocket change, and then, all of a sudden, your already miserable life goes From Bad to Worse when your father sells you out to the Yakuza just to save his own skin. That's exactly how Masaya's story begins here. Had he not encountered Rise, it's likely he would have been living off the streets and died a vagrant, or worse, be abducted and tortured by the Goons.
- The Yakuza in general. Sure, they do turn out to be Stupid Evil after a while, but its shown that they are Determinators when trying to collect the debt that Masaya's father entrusted to him. Worse, anyone they see interacting with him is also at risk, and the Goons won't hesitate to use violence on girls like Rise, or worse, kidnap like in the case Chiho and make them into Sex Slaves or for ransom like in Ayaka's case.
- The voyuer that Masaya manages to apprehend in Chapter 11. The girls jokingly said that it was highly unlikely someone would manage to sneak into Vincennes and do something malicious in the school's premises, but unfortunately, that is just what happens. It's implied that he managed to successfully photograph the girls in their School Swimsuits, and, had he gotten away, probably would have uploaded it onto the internet and used the pics for malicious intent, likely for blackmail, or worse, attract other lowlifes with malicious intents and encourage them to do the same to the girls.
- Masaya's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown after the criminal tries to hold a knife on him. His expression
◊ is a definite Nightmare Face showing Unstoppable Rage. Had Konomi and the others not stopped him, it's likely the guy would have ended up killed.
- Masaya's No-Holds-Barred Beatdown after the criminal tries to hold a knife on him. His expression
- Masaya's Nightmare Sequence in Chapter 14 is quite terrifying. It depicts him and the Vincennes girls playing the board game from earlier, during a blackout, when suddenly mysterious lights above their heads appear, which suddenly morph into a full-fledged inferno. It then shows him in the middle of a forest during a firestorm, with a mysterious knife-wielding figure in the middle with him. While he does manage to fight off the psycho and save an unnamed companion with him, he gets hit in the back, and is sent tumbling to an Uncertain Doom.
- The 25th Chapter of Rise's route. Misako, the Headmistress, is alone with Kaori, who had attempted to murder her own mother, the Chairwoman, only weeks prior. The entire scene is unsettling, to say the least, and it only goes From Bad to Worse when Masaya, who had been waiting outside the Headmistress' house, inadvertently ends up getting stabbed in the gut by the knife-wielding psycho while trying to shield Rise from harm.
