The franchise as a whole is pretty dark, with moments of violence, torture, death and...well, needless to say, for a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids "kid's show,"]] it sure got edgy at times. That so much of it got past the censors is rather impressive.

''Digimon Tamers'' tends to be described as "''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' [[XMeetsY with]] {{mons}}," or "''SerialExperimentsLain'' [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids for kids]]", and for good reason. Series head writer ChiakiKonaka was also the man behind ''Lain'' and is reportedly a big fan of ''Evangelion''. Distinguished for [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructing]] the {{Mons}} genre and being DarkerAndEdgier than every other ''Digimon'' canon since [[Anime/DigimonXEvolution (with one possible exception)]], it is significantly more cerebral, psychological, technologically minded, and becomes one hell of a CosmicHorrorStory by the end.

They make you believe for a second that Lucemon has entered OUR WORLD AND IS TAKING IT OVER WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EFFORT.]] It gets worse when in the dub, HE ACTUALLY SAYS IT.

[[AC:Digimon X Evolution]]
* The X-Antibody in its own right is not so bad. What's worse is the Death-X-Antibody. If you have seen a Doru-Greymon, you do not want to see a Death-X-Doru-Greymon. It's essentially the same, only darker, more diabolic and with claws that can pretty much rip anything apart.
* X-Evolution has the probably most evil Digimon ever shown: Death-X-Mon (or Dexmon, depending on translation). It isn't so bad that it looks like a mechanical dragon, combined with a demon of some sort. It is immortal as long as the main character, Dorumon, is alive. The solution: Dorumon, Digivolved into Alphamon, summons the Ouryuuken (Ultimate Warblade Dragon King Sword, in itself another digimon but that bit isn't mentioned in the film) and throws it like a boomerang, so it hits himself, Death-X-Mon and Yggdrasil, which is the only thing keeping the world from being destroyed.
* Somewhat better, somewhat worse: Afterwards, Omegamon takes Dorumon's Digicore and becomes Omegamon-X, and uses a brand new technique, called "ALL DELETE!", which finishes off Yggdrasil leading to the reboot of the Digital World, without Yggdrasil or the Death-X digimon.
* The Royal Knights (the good guys) work for Yggdrasil (the deity) who created Death-X-Digimon, including the Death-X-mon mentioned above (The Dragon). And [[spoiler: at first]] they never question a command.
* Any battle involving Omegamon. His destructive power is far above anyone else's. In one scene, he managed to curb stomp [=MetalGarurumon=]-X and [=WarGreymon=]-X, following that with killing Dukemon [[spoiler: note that Dukemon let himself be impaled, because "There was something I wanted to check"]]. And that's despite Dukemon being on Omegamon's side.
* The opening scene. We get to see Leomon dying in front of Dorumon... and this scene is shown again and again whether it's necessary or not.
* Most of all, the deaths of the surviving digimon. Ways to die include death by virus (collapsing and dissolving), disintegration by energy beam, impaling, literally crushing the skull, being ripped to shreds and eaten alive, to list the most memorable ones. '''All''' shown onscreen, while the last two where preceded by the endless bloodthirsty cries of the swarm of Death-X-[=DoruGreymon=]. That probably had to do with why the film was never dubbed.

* Dark Lizardmon's fate: It was captured by Hypnos, interrogated under torture and literally torn apart for analysis while fully conscious after Yamaki was done, in a process that actually looks ''more'' painful than the equivalent, that is to say an autopsy on a ''living'' human. Not to mention that this is a close up to what Shaggai/Juggernaut does to it's victims in episode 14.
* An early warning of things to come, episode 14, where the dying screams of the Digimon [[spoiler: deleted by Shaggai/Juggernaut]] can be heard. A [[IncrediblyLamePun tamer]] version of ''VideoGame/{{Homeworld}}'' cataclysm's corruption by the beast.
* Orochimon's PsychoticSmirk[=/=]Rape Face.
* Everything that happened to Juri after [[spoiler: Leomon died]] is pretty creepy. So much so that ''Juri in general'' might just become NightmareFuel for people upon re-watching the series now that they know everything about her.
** Her creepy hand-puppet might have already been this.
** In episode 47, the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc_Srg40mR0 Mind Rape sequence]] of her reliving witnessing her mother's death. [[spoiler:And the fact that this goes on for weeks]].
* As scary as Dark Evolutions are, Megidramon definitely takes the cake. It certainly doesn't help that its name is derived from the words "Megiddo" and "Dragon", considering that Har Megiddo is the mountain, where the apocalypse is (according to the bible) going to start. Har Megiddo has later been given its more popular name, "Armageddon". In other words, Megidramon's name is closer to original idea of the end of the world than "Armageddon". It doesn't help that before it [[spoiler: Takato is practically SCREAMING about how [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge he is going to make Beelzemon]] suffer For killing Leomon]].
* The [[spoiler: [[EldritchAbomination D-Reaper]]]]. Imagine a monster that combines the most horrifying aspects of [[CthulhuMythos Lovecraftian horror]], [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion the Angels]], [[VideoGame/{{Homeworld}} The Beast]], and [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann the Anti-Spirals]]. Now remove any [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well Intentioned Extremism]] or BlueAndOrangeMorality and replace it with sheer malevolence - and put it in a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids kid's show]].
* The BodyHorror Beelzemon undergoes after absorbing Taomon and Rapidmon's data. It involved Beelzemon's shoulders bulging until parts of Taomon and Rapidmon started ''protruding out of his skin'' with Beelzemon clearly in pain from the experience. Surprisingly enough, Saban kept this part intact, completely unedited.
* Mephistomon dropping his human disguise in ''Battle of Adventurers'', specifically the part where his human head retracts and his normal one bursts out.
