* In the original series, the Medical Mechanica plant shaped like a giant golden iron was mostly background symbolism, and outside of a couple guards keeping Haruko out and the thrashing the facility got in the finale, the only implications we got were that it was supposed to "smooth out" the world and the ability for people to think. ''Progressive'' finally shows the inside of another plant, and it has a ''cybernetic brain stem and spinal cord'', acting as an internal antenna that had been screwing with Hidomi's brain. Adaptive technology? Living robot aliens? What the '''hell''' are these things?

* Canti eventually ran out of power between series, resulting in his body being captured, borderline crucified and abused, and pieces of him being torn out and used to create N.O. reversal technology. The fact that his captors treat him with WhatMeasureIsANonHuman doesn't help, as if to add extra horror to literally gutting a fan-favorite.

** Her third dream is less overtly nightmarish, but does include an uncharacteristically peppy Hidomi gleefully ranting about how she wants to have her skin ripped off while fondling herself, and reacting with excitement at seeing her classmates getting crushed into paste by a giant hand.

***Alternately: Given the people who showed up in her dream (Ide and his friends), and how it played out (her *legs and bottom half* were taken off and consumed), it could be said that she's not turned on by the idea of being torn apart but by the idea of being being "torn apart".

** There's also the fact that what came through Hidomi's N.O. was powerful enough to one-shot Haruko. '''[[MadeOfIron Haruko.]]''' The same woman that only ever got marginally inconvenienced if she got blasted or hit, could dodge and slice bullets, and had a grand total of two times she was at a real disadvantage in the original series. And she got [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu knocked out]] and had to use her Guitar to even ''stand'' afterwards. Even if Haruko was split into two between Raharu and Jinyu and she may have suffered a DePower in theory, whatever she's becoming [[ClippedWingAngel isn't even its true power]], and ''that is goddamn terrifying.''

* Our introduction to the series easily escalates into content darker than anything in the original when a bloodied, disheveled and horned Hidomi wanders through a destroyed and crystallized landscape. [[BodyHorror Then her body literally starts rotting and falling apart,]] and just when she seems to reach some vague destination, a massive eyeball of an EldritchAbomination opens up and forces the horn to emerge.
** Good news for this scene is that the nightmare fuel goes away once this seems to transform Hidomi into some sort of combat robot - only for her to wake up from dreaming. Bad news is that her remembering it is almost like a {{Trigger}} for Hidomi throughout the rest of the episode, with heaps of {{Foreshadowing}}.
* Let not forget scene when Hidomi looks out the window (When she see's the factory on high alert) when suddenly she see's a killer robot out the window ready to grab her.
