As a moments page, all spoilers are unmarked.
- The boys have to do a test of courage as initiation into the school: carve their initials into a tree at the edge of the dangerous forest. Something from the forest psychically tells them to leave, and it terrifies them.
- The group is travelling through a mine when Firbolg suddenly stops and picks up a magic rock from the floor. The scary part? Justin had no control over him in this moment, something else compelled him to do it.
- The Episode 12 reveal, and all that it implies: everything they understand about the school and the world at-large is actually some kind of mass illusion or memory wipe caused by a demon prince fifty years ago, and the charismatic headmaster of the school, Heironymous Wiggenstaff, is somebody (or something) else entirely. High-octane Paranoia Fuel.
- Everything about Chaos' introduction in Episode 15. A nine-foot-tall, iridescent, white-eyed being suddenly appears in a cursed Fitzroy's visions, tries to tempt him to abuse his powers (which they are heavily implied to have given to him in the first place) in order to receive fear and admiration from others, and then, for good measure, hits us with this:Chaos: I'm not asking you to be my influence, my weapon, on Nua. Because you already are.
- Episode 19 consists of Chaos giving each of the protagonists a vision of what they believe their most desired future would be. Argo is a famed Admiral in command of his mother's old ship. The Firbolg is restored to his clan with a wife and children, living in safety. Both are beneficiaries of the generosity of Fitzroy, who has become a powerful Sorcerer King. But there are hints sown throughout that the Stormbringer King's unification of Nua has been less than savory. Argo and Fitzroy's visions are on the cusp of victory over "seditionists" whose cause is never explained, and they both try to take a nonlethal option, but Chaos railroads the vision into a ruthless execution. While the Firbolg's vision ends on a less brutal note, it still involves him going against one of his core traits by lying, with Chaos implying that in this "good" future, it isn't the first time. Because Utopia Justifies the Means.
- After a trip to Grey's Hell dimension, Argo's mind is poisoned, and his already-present feelings of being left out and envy are cranked way up, to the point where he becomes The Resenter towards Fitzroy, and has an extremely vivid nightmare of murdering him and the Firbolg, and smiling. And later that day, he nearly makes that dream a reality, though the other two are fortunately able to subdue him and banish Grey from his mind.
- We meet Order in episode 28, and they are, if anything, scarier than Chaos. They explain that they and Chaos wish for a war because the world has been stagnant too long, and the system is hopelessly broken — and their monologue is made more unsettling by the fact that this is kind of true. They are horrifyingly accepting of the fact that the war will cost countless lives, seeing it as a necessary sacrifice. And they've been playing Grey like a fiddle, setting him up to be defeated and killed, all to get their new world.Order: The land soaked with their blood will be fertile fields in which to sow a new society.
