* Touga as a child being chased around the garden by his adoptive father, before being caught and raped by him. In contrast with the surrealism of the rest of the movie, it is depicted with a realism that makes it particularly horrifying. An early scene shows Touga being sold by his biological father, and Mr. Kiryuu's expression in that scene already foretells what he was up to.

Added DiffLines:

* A flashback shows that Akio slipped a drug into his sister Anthy's drink and then took advantage of her sexually. This is icky enough, but it then goes on to show that afterward he realized that she was awake and began to panic, and wound up stabbing her and then falling out a window to his death. Yikes.
* The revelation of Anthy's scar during the nude sketching scene is made all the creepier when you can hear what sounds awfully like a dentist drill. Not to mention that said scar is shown as a huge hole in her chest. ''Or'' that the collection of Akio's paintings turns into a composite image of Anthy being raped. Say whatever else about the English dub, but Sharon Becker's delivery of the line "This is the secret of the Rose Bride" carries with what could only be described as coming close to sickening amusement as she reveals to Utena the open wound in her chest and the fact her brother raped her. And it is fucking terrifying.
* Saionji makes some downright terrifying AxeCrazy faces during his duel with Utena. He also acts like he's trying to kill her.
* Touga was raped by his adoptive father as a child.
* The entire butterfly scene, for that matter. Shiori growing butterfly wings may be beautifully animated, but even besides the obvious fact that all this is combined with a scene of child rape, it's creepy how she rants about how much she hates Juri at the same time, [[DissonantSerenity all in]] [[Creator/KumikoNishihara the same sugary-sweet voice]] [[DissonantSerenity she always has]]. What's more, the butterflies themselves symbolize all sorts of squicky things: 1. Parasitism; they're cabbage white butterflies, and fittingly enough, the scene takes place in a cabbage patch. 2. Cruel innocence, a phrase associated with Shiori in the series; note how the butterflies perch on the child Touga in his worst moment.
* Kozue holding a razor to Miki's throat while they're both in the bathtub together and calling him a traitor when he refuses to divulge details of his personal affairs to her. And then the rubber duck that had been in the bathtub along with the two of them during that scene reappears in the garage (near a car with a license plate reading KOZUE) on the ground, in a puddle of water that reflects the red lighting in a way that looks like blood...
* Anthy is just as miserable and emotionally broken as her series counterpart. It's implied she's about to commit suicide before Utena finds her in the Rose Garden at night. And whereas in the series, it's a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} when she stops her, here, Anthy's subtle jabs at Utena make her ''fly into a rage'', throwing her down to the floor and screaming at her. And just after that scene, Anthy is swinging an ax and looks ''very close'' to decapitating Utena.
* This generally comes far behind the rest, but some viewers find the infamous "car wash" scene rather scary.
* The area outside of Ohtori Academy appears to be a wasteland. What happened to make everything outside the school so utterly wrecked?
