* If you thought [[spoiler:vampire Akutagawa]] was scary, try [[spoiler:vampire Chuuya]]. Yes, when the [[spoiler:Port Mafia was attacked and vampirized, that included Chuuya, one of the most powerful Ability users in the entire series. He then shows up at the prison and massacres the guards, killing even the strongest one in order to help Fyodor, with Dazai even calling him the Russian's pawn]].
** This is fairly sad as well, given [[spoiler:how in ''Storm Bringer'' people kept trying to control Chuuya via his coding and he ultimately decided to be his own person. The vampire transformation pretty much robbed him of any autonomy]].
** There's also the fact that [[spoiler:Fyodor essentially has a [[PersonOfMassDestruction nuke]] at his disposal now]].

* Any scene that has Atsushi having an OrphanageOfFear flashback is usually is very gory and nightmare-inducing especially in ''Dead Apple'', when Shibusawa Tatsuhiko electrocutes him nearly to death and when the headmaster has him nailed in the foot as punishment when he was framed for stealing candy that the other children stole. [[AdultFear All of these things happen when he was still very young]].

** This is fairly sad as well, given [[spoiler:how in ''Storm Bringer'' Chuuya fought against being controlled by the coding in his head and decided to be his own person. The vampire transformation pretty much robbed him of any autonomy]].

** It also predicted the black/grey lines being red in actuality, giving 'creepy' a new meaning...

* The fate of the original Chuuya is this. When he was very young, the government abducted and illegally trafficked him to use the boy as a test subject. His parents were told he had died to cover up the crime and prevent them from saving him. Eventually, the experiments took their toll and Chuuya became so weak he could only be sustained by fluids inside a tank, which was eventually drained by N, causing him to disintegrate into muck.

* The very end of ''Dazai, Chuuya, Fifteen Years Old'' introduces Paul Verlaine, a man who can break into Mori's office and kill every single guard posted with no one noticing. He seems to have some sort of ability to cut things, so when two guards find them, first their fingers fall off before they can shoot, followed by the rest of their bodies severing into pieces and dropping to the floor until only their legs remain, still standing in place.

* The fate of the original Chuuya is this. When he was very young, the government abducted and illegally trafficked him to use the boy as a test subject. His parents were told he had died to cover up the crime and prevent them from saving him. Eventually, the experiments took their toll and Chuuya, an eight year old child, was killed with his parents completely unaware.

* Atsushi in his tiger form? Epic. The tiger manifesting in Atsushi's face? [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/7c002e462f3b49fb7c704d171dbec683/tumblr_o6ehuu7Oj01txj1m7o1_1280.png Horrifying]].

* Any scene that has Atsushi having an OrphanageOfFear flashback is usually is very gorey and nightmare inducing especially in [[spoiler: Dead Apple, when Shibusawa Tatsuhiko electrocutes him nearly to death]] and [[spoiler: when the headmaster has him nailed in the foot as punishment when he was framed for stealing candy that the other children stole]]. [[AdultFear All of these things happen when he was still very young]].
* [[http://dazaiscans.tumblr.com/post/145357832475/so-i-have-read-chapter-31-in-the-manga-over-and This post]] goes into detail what actually happens when Chuuya activates Corruption. On the flip side, it makes you all the more thankful that Dazai was there to nullify it...

* The NightmareFace [[spoiler: 15-year old Chuuya]] cracks upon saying the WhamLine of the episode.
** The anime NightmareFace is horrifying enough in the anime but in the manga it brings horror to a whole new level. [[spoiler: 15 year old Chuuya's]] NightmareFace is completely blacked out and emotionless as he's delivering the WhamLine. In the background, it shows [[spoiler: 15 year old Dazai]] is genuinely shocked by the news which just adds to the magnitude of horror in the scene.

* Atsushi himself? {{Adorkable}}. Atsushi in his tiger form? Epic. The tiger manifesting in Atsushi's face? [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/7c002e462f3b49fb7c704d171dbec683/tumblr_o6ehuu7Oj01txj1m7o1_1280.png Horrifying]].

* The sheer glee Lucy has in trapping people in her nightmare dimension and the NightmareFace she breaks out. Becomes darker when you realize she had a similar past to Atsushi, but never left it behind, which is the motivation of her actions. Take in what Atsushi might have become if he ended up like her...
