History NightmareFuel / BlueExorcist

** That depends on your definition of toned down. Sure, we don't actually see the {{Fingore}} happening; we just cut to Rin's expression of horror and ''hear them being torn off''. For me, it was much worse.

* The Impure King is a giant FUNGUS, not unlike the mostly harmless Coal tars often seen floating around. It spreads disease by making a gigantic "building" of its spores which grows over time and makes [[BodyHorror boils on the skin of anyone who touches them]].

* Let's be real here, that army of eyeless baby Yukios latching onto him as he tried to fight Satan's possession in episode 24 was pretty terrifying.

** It then gets ''even worse'' in ch73: upon finding out that a) he survived and b) his power only briefly flared up and still isn't stable he ''puts a fucking gun to his head and demands that the "monster" comes out.'' Holy. Shit.
* Chapter 76 ends with the strong implication that Hachiro is going to force ''Shura'' and ''Yukio'' to conceive a child through MindManipulation against their wills. Keep in mind that he's [[YoungerThanHeLooks underage]], they've essentially had the same adoptive father, and Shura realizes that he may have done this to the other women who came after her ancestor. Brrr!
* Chapter 77 starts with the above implication ''nearly happening''. If [[BigDamnHeroes Rin hadn't shown up]], it would have gotten much worse. And even so what Yukio suggests and says is incredibly freaky even if he's acting, he didn't have to ''shoot'' Rin - he's too calm about it too!Followed by Hachiro ''losing'' it and going berserk. Did we mention that Hachiro is ''immortal'' and the previous Paladin was ultimately ''powerless'' against him? And now he's planning on ''killing'' them all...and Yukio's "successful" plan also weakened Shura.
* Chapter 93 gives us [[spoiler: Yukio being DrivenToSuicide after learning Father Fujimoto's true origins. It fails because his demonic blood finally awakens... and we are treated to a lovely shot of Yukio's eye disgorging blue flames, while '''SATAN''' is taunting him about how he will not be allowed to die.]]
* Chapter 98 begins with [[spoiler: Rin's body [[SuperPowerMeltdown being overwhelmed with the power of his demon heart]] now that Kurikara is no longer sealing it away. The end result is Rin being reduced to a blackened corpse in mid-scream which then [[http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Ao-no-Exorcist/Chapter-098?id=402759#5 breaks apart.]] He [[HealingFactor got better]] but still.]]
** Then once he [[spoiler: gets better he [[CameBackWrong tries to kill everyone]] with his normal excited and happy smile on his face.]]
* Section 13 is this through and through. Inhumane experiments? Check. Copious BodyHorror? Check. Harm to minors? To an unbelievable degree. [[spoiler:Satan's birthplace?]] Check.
* [[spoiler:Everything about how they treated Yuri during her pregnancy. Unethical doesn't even begin to cover it, and many fans speculate the Order was trying to kill her and her children indirectly since the Cradle Barrier prevented more direct methods. Either way she's visibly is so much pain.]]
* [[spoiler:Rin was actually terrifying at birth. He already had his demon powers and immediately started burning nearby exorcists to death within seconds of being born.]]

* Recent chapters introduced us to a "ghost" in the girls' washroom. Aside from looking really, really horrible, there is what it actually is [[spoiler: all the pent up frustrations of various teenage girls]] and what it ''says''.

* Let's be real here, [[spoiler: that army of eyeless baby Yukios latching onto him as he tried to fight Satan's possession in episode 24 was pretty terrifying.]]

* Chapter 48: [[spoiler:Shima shows up to help Izumo and fights Takara, who appears to be the Illuminati spy. Then, at the very end, he stabs Izumo, and Takara calls him TheMole.]]
* Chapter 51: [[spoiler: Izumo's mother after all the experimentation done. She is bound to a wheelchair and rapidly deteriorating and the only thing she can say is requests for her daughter's help]]. Equal parts this trope and TearJerker.
* Zombie Chimeras are lurching, snarling, slavering masses of BodyHorror--huge, twisted abominations that have way, ''way'' too many [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyes]], [[TooManyMouths mouths]], [[SpareBodyParts ears, limbs]]... they make ''ghouls'' look like swimsuit models by comparison. They're the horrific results of immortality/regenerative experimentation derived from studying [[spoiler:Izumo's mother]], and [[WasOnceAMan they used to be people]]. ''Some of them can still think and talk'', enough to react with surprise to Shiemi screaming, or utter a desperate plea to be allowed to go home...
* Yukio in chapters 71 and 72 of the manga. He's trying to get his [[spoiler:Eye power]] to work, but as it apparently kicks in when he's feeling an intense emotion, he repeatedly makes attempts on his life, like trying to drown himself to experience true fear. It doesn't work. Chapter 72 ends with [[spoiler:him jumping off a building and ''utterly terrified'',and as he falls, thinking that he doesn't want to die.]]

[[caption-width-right:350: DemonicPossession at It's worse]]

* Fujimoto Shiro as he's possessed by Satan, he gets a demonic appearance and starts disintegrating because Satan is too powerful for him. Cue a bleeding, horribly disfigured face. Then he rips his fingers off. The anime toned it down.
