"助けて… 助けて… (Help me... help me...)"

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

  • Noroko is a great source of this. She usually has no face, but randomly, in her idle pose, she acquires two sunken pits for eyes and a mouth and emits a horrible screech. One of her moves involves faking a cry and, if the opponent hits her in this state, she turns red and lets out an ungodly roar, sending the opponent flying. The "Soul Punishment" special involves her playing volleyball with the opponent's soul. The final hit, after an instant of complete silence and stillness, will sometimes flash, very quickly, some creepy image, like her doll covered in blood, or a close-up of an eye, followed by (you guessed it) a scream. And if the opponent dies with that final hit, the soul doesn't bounce back to the body, like it normally would; it is destroyed.
    • And then, you have her fatal move. Remember her "fake cry" move from above? The same, but from the point of view of the victim.
    • Her ending where we saw her backstory of how she was killed and trapped inside the doll by a masked man. The scenery when she is struggling against her killer almost looks like he is about to abuse her before finishing her off.
  • Peketo is a Creepy Child Serial Killer who was horribly abused by his occult-obsessed father, and is fascinated with blood and the color red. He became a ghoul-like creature by making multiple ancient pacts with the dead and being beheaded by his psychiatrist as revenge for Peketo murdering his brother. When fighting, Peketo will slash anything in his way with a giant smile on his face, and one of his victory poses is casually pulling out his own severed head and showing it to the opponent's corpse.
  • The painful existence of poor Animus, a being with the capacity of suffering brutal painfully tortures and still being unable to die from them.
    • His origins and why he was trapped inside the iron maiden: Basically Final forced a queen obsessed with immortality to have a child with him. After conceiving her, she was so horrified that she and her servants attempted to kill him until they gave up and locked him inside the maiden.
  • The downer ending of the last chapter of the game: where Janos rips out the heart from Final's body, thus killing him and plans to go after our world and conquer it, claiming that nobody would stop him now.
    • And then you remember that every playable character besides Peketo, who is too busy dealing with his dad for all eternity, is dead and in no condition to stop him.
