* There is a particularly disturbing scene in the manga involving Mitsuko and Yuichiro. [[spoiler:Yuichiro is dying of a bullet wound, and Mitsuko, who is somewhat deranged at this point after killing Tadakatsu and has regressed to her fucked-up childhood mental state, decides to make him better...by raping him. Yuichiro begs for her to stop, as she is hurting him, and Mitsuko responds by stabbing the poor little guy in the neck with her sickle, seeing his cries of pain as a betrayal. As he dies, she is shown as a giant, damaged version of the doll her father gave her, asking, "How do you like my eyes ''now''?"]]
* It's very unsettling to see how ''quickly'' classmates (and even friends) start killing each other. (And without even counting the likes of [[EmptyShell Kazuo]] [[TheSociopath Kiriyama]] or [[TheVamp Mitsuko]] [[FemmeFatale Souma]].)
* In the movie, Kiriyama's eyes after he's [[spoiler:blinded by Shinji's bomb]].

* In the film, Kiriyama's attack on the clinic is spinechilling and could easily be pulled from a straight horror movie. It starts when screaming and gunfire intrupts a cozy bonding moment between Noriko & Shuuya and Kawada, forcing the try to dim the lights and draw the curtains in an attempt to hide. The three are forced to watch [[spoiler:Kiriyama kills Oda]], then we get their point of view as Kiriyama attempts to get inside the clinic -rushing by windows, pulling at the locked doorknob, and putting his bloody hand on the glass- all while Noriko and Shuuya cower in fear and Kawada stands in front of the door ready to start blasting. And it ends when Kiriyama [[spoiler:stuffing a granade into the mouth of Oda's severed head and tossing it through the window]].

* Kaori Minami, a chubby acne suffering girl who has gone insane under the pressures of the game. She's under the belief that the Idol Junya Kenzaki speaks to her as a coping mechanism and fears the touch of anything against her skin, as she feels it makes her acne worse, to the point she murders a kitten with an insane slasher smile on her face and tries to kill her classmates for trying to get close to her, talking about the "Bad poking kitty!" the whole time.

** Especially scary from Shogo's point of view. He knows that Kiriyama joined the game willing and mentions that his year had someone like that. It's entirely possible that Shogo himself was the one to kill that volunteer and, while he manages a cool head throughout, it's easy to imagine Shogo is remembering what went down then.

**Even worse, in the English manga, Shogo mentions killing a French exchange student who was in his class when they were selected for the Program. Imagine being a parent from France or America or Britain who sends your child off to have a fun and educational foreign experience, only to learn that your child is now going to be forced to participate in a brutal, sadistic deathmatch, and there is nothing you can do to save them.
