- R-D. There is nothing freakier than seeing what amounts to a clone of Dorothy (an emotionally subdued but otherwise nice girl), Slasher Smile and all, screaming maniacally at Roger just as she's about to put a bullet through him. If nothing else, that face...
- Also, a 'face scare' is Beck's horrifying visage in the dark in his last appearance within the manga.
- The Megadeus that Schwarzwald finds during "Underground Terror", which tries to "make friends" with Dorothy through unorthodox means. It's surprisingly creepy for being a robot, being essentially the Megadeus equivalent of a fast zombie.
- Made even worse in one episode of the second season: While being repaired, we see the Big O without its faceplate. It has the exact same head as the Megadeus from that episode. In other words, that thing is what the Big O looks like under all that armor.
- Speaking of "Underground Terror", there's the scene where Roger first descends deep beneath the subway system into a large, sleek chamber. Still on the ladder, he is suddenly frozen with fear at a low roar of unseen voices. He falls to the floor, totally paralyzed with dread, trying in vain to calm himself down. Then he sees ghosts floating around and past him, and he completely freaks out and faints from terror. When Dorothy finds him later, there's no one else around. It's never explained further.
- Alan Gabriel's demise. As he's about to finish off Roger, Big Duo suddenly stops responding. The wires from both within Big Duo and hooking Alan to the machine suddenly wrap themselves around him and begin to strangle him, before Schwarzwald appears to chastise him and the words YE GUILTY flash on the screen. Alan is then eaten alive by Big Duo's wires, which proceed to burst from the cockpit and spill out wildly as the Megadeus flies into space. He certainly deserved it, but that doesn't make his horrified screams as the wires slowly overwhelm him any easier to listen to.
- Big Venus. Basically, resembling Big O but with its colors inverted and sporting a large grin, it has the ability to alter and manipulate memories and reality itself. She demonstrates it by erasing a horrified Alex and Big Fau in an instant.Dorothy: A bird whose wings have been plucked shall devolve back into the beast it was before it became a bird.
- Heaven's Day's Bad Santa, yet another Mad Scientist (Dastun even labels him as such) wearing a suit much too big for his emaciated frame, and a face like a corpse. He's got no sense of personal space, and toggles between semi-lucid or ranting. After his one scene he disappears forever.
- Eugene Grant and his horrible, horrible experiments. Causing Body Horror on people's pets, murdering his backers with genetic abominations, kidnapping and experimenting on children... Eugene's so awful that even Paradigm Corporation despises him.
- Season 2's "Leviathan": there's always been a bit of Inferred Holocaust with the scale of the giant robot fights, but it's mitigated by the amount of ruins and lack of people shown. Seeing a giant mechanical dragon rampaging through a populated sector, turning occupied buildings into sand... it's hard to imagine anyone escaping that nightmare alive.
- The worst part is that, if Schwarzwald's writings are any indication, the people of Paradigm City may have unwittingly bought the dragon about to begin with as a result of their collective refusal to find the truth.
Schwarzwald: Yes...that ancient mechanical dragon is a mirror of none other than yourselves, you fools! The anxiety within you...has no outlet. It has no past...and no future. Each person's jealousies, their desires, their fears; alone, each may be a small part, but together, they become an enormous whole that will take shape!
