History NightmareFuel / DigimonTamers

** Digimon who get badly wounded usually regress into a lesser form. The notable brutal beatings in this show usually only knock someone down one level. [[spoiler:''Beelzemon was so badly wounded, he shot down three levels into Impmon'']]. [[FridgeHorror Just how painful]] ''[[FridgeHorrorwere]]'' [[FridgeHorror those wounds?]]

** Terriermon > Gargomon is especially bad because he pulls an expression during it that suggests he's in a lot of pain during the process.

** 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]].

** As if that weren't enough, let's add to it the fact that its [[spoiler:literally powered by [[PoweredByAForsakenChild the grief and despair of a depressed little girl]], and uses her as its avatar]]. Lemme repeat that: this abomination has the ''voice'' of ''a ten-year old girl''

* The concept of "loading" Digimon can be horrifying. When a Digimon dies or is destroyed, its body becomes pure data and can be absorbed by the Digimon that defeated them, in order to become stronger. This makes ''every'' Digimon, even the ones we like, a cannibal. Later on, most of the Digimon stop loading the data of other defeated Digimon, though.

* 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. There's a ''reason'' she's the page image.

* 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.

* The [[spoiler: [[EldritchAbomination D-Reaper]]]]. Imagine a monster that combines the most horrifying aspects of [[CthulhuMythos Lovecraftian horror]], [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion the Angels]], [[{{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 D-Reaper. Especially J-Reaper. *shudder*
** Hell, everything after episode 34 inclusive is mainly Nightmare Fuel material, shown [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGmjQGT07sc in this AMV]]. The images speak for themselves.
** In episode 47, the entire [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc_Srg40mR0 mind rape sequence]] of Juri/Jeri, a '''10 year old girl'''. And this is just a section of it; the actual mind rape has been going on, and will go on for ''weeks''.
** That MindRape induced flashback is enough to ensure people may never look at Jeri (and her handpuppet) the same way again without feeling uneasy or scared.
* [=IceDevimon=] is all sorts of rape-y.

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.

** It doesn't help that before it Takato is practically SCREAMING about how [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge he is going to make Beelzemon]] suffer [[spoiler: For killing Leomon]] and the English dub is arguably more disturbing since [[NeverSayDie instead of killing him he says he wants Guilmon to make him "hurt"]] which implies that he doesn't want Guilmon to just kill him he also wants him to make sure Beelzemon's death is slow and painful.

* An early warning of things to come, episode 14, where the 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.
* Mephistomon dropping his human disguise in ''Battle of Adventurers'', specifically the part where his human head retracts and his normal one bursts out.

* The BodyHorror Beelzemon undergoes after absorbing Taomon and Rapidmon's data.
** To go into more detail: said BodyHorror had 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.

* Orochimon's PsychoticSmirk.

** And it dosen't help that before it takato is practically SCREAMING about how [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge he is going to make beelzelmon]] suffer [[spoilers: For killing leomon]] and The english dub is arguably more disturbing since [[NeverSayDie instead of killing him he says he wants guilmon to make him "hurt"]] which implies that he doesn't want guilmon to just kill him he also wants him to ake sure Beelzelmon's death is slow and painful.

* The D-Reaper. Especially J-Reaper. * shudder*

* 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 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.
