History NightmareFuel / FateApocrypha

* For a Servant or any Heroic Spirit who has a shred of nobility or innocence in their mind... getting summoned by Celenike ''will'' count as this. First of all, it doesn't matter who you are, but she will treat you as an utter slave and once in a day, you get taken to her private dungeon to be lecherously licked. Go against her orders and she will put you through torture devices and torture you until she's satisfied. If you claim your morals, she will balk that you are just a copy of the original spirit, thus not at all heroic and will be nothing more than a Servant that must always obey her... and she will use her Command Spells, no matter how inefficient, just to make sure you violate your code of justice and just to see your virtuous image and self-esteem sink into despair for her own pleasure. This woman is bar none one of the worst Masters that a Servant could have. Astolfo was lucky that Mordred beheaded Celenike before things could get any worse and that Sieg was around to make him his new Master... that's right, just when you thought someone killing said Master would free you from slavery, you'll be destined to DIE unless you got a new potential Master ready to make contract.

* The extent of Shakespeare's abilities is downright nightmarish. This guy has a kicker for 'tragic' stories without regards of what his designated actors would feel and his answer for that, AKA his Noble Phantasm, First Folio? MindRape his victims with a 'theatrical play' where someone from the actor's mind was acting ''really'' out of character just to break their spirit. We only saw early tidbits of it when he inflicted that to Frankenstein, enough that she freaked out and had to be restrained with a Command Spell, but the full effect is when he did that on Jeanne, when it caused Jeanne to witness the noble version of Gilles de Rais not only bring a severed head of Sieg, his face also transforms into his evil Caster version from ''LightNovel/FateZero'', complete with bulging fish eyes. Shakespeare is ''definitely'' not the guy you want for telling children bedtime stories!

** Despite encountering her before, Chiron and Fiore realize that they can't remember what she looks like or what her abilities were. That means Jack has a unique ability that erases all traces of her true identity, abilities, and even appearance. Right after she lives the castle, Sieg and Fiore, the only ones who saw her that day, can't remember what she was like.

** Her invasion of the castle is pretty terrifying. The mist blanketing the area doesn't just conceal her presence, it also emits an acidic effect that will kill anyone who breathes it in. We get a ParanoiaFuel sequence of Fiore scrambling towards her office as fast as she can in her wheelchair, knowing that the Assassin could already be onto her or even worse, already in her room. She's only saved in the nick of time by Chiron blasting out of her window with a blunt arrow right before Jack was about to carve her like a fish.

** Her invasion of the castle is pretty terrifying. The mist blanketing the area doesn't just conceal her presence, it also emits an acidic effect that will kill anyone who breathes it in.

** Vlad's powers themselves are pretty terrifying once you think about them. Within his territory, he can make his [[SpikesOfDoom stakes]] sprout from ''[[ParanoiaFuel anywhere]]'' he wants [[spoiler:even [[BodyHorror inside his opponents' bodies]]]].
** [[spoiler:His transformation into [[OneWingedAngel Dracula]] just takes his horrifying nature to its logical conclusion. First off, he's visibly [[PainfulTransformation writhing and screaming in pain as his body warps in entirely new ways from rearranging limbs to growing wings out of his back]]. Then his face [[GameFace turns into something right out of a monster horror movie]] while he speaks with the VoiceOfTheLegion. And then he starts murdering and turning people into vampire minions]]. It says something when Vlad himself states he would never use this power of his own free will.

** [[spoiler:We get to see the [[SarcasmMode wonderful]] sight of Jack gleefully [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing]] a poor guy to the point of begging her to kill him. She wanted info on how to get past the castle's security, and gave that guy hell right before ripping his heart out. This is probably how she killed most of her victims.]]

** [[spoiler: When Reika dies after saving her from Atalanta's arrows, she shoots Jack again and assume she's dead... until Jack gets back up ''while pulling an ExorcistHead move before her body explodes the fog from her body''. Her death stare with glowing red eyes says it all.]]
* The illusion that Jack conjures after [[spoiler: exploding into mist]] is truly horrifying, both for what the characters see and what it represents.
** [[spoiler: The WretchedHive of Victorian London slums are a dark, grimy and dirty place filled with poisonous smoke and awful people.]]
** [[spoiler: Creepy, gloomy and mistreated children appear out of nowhere to zerg rush those caught in the illusion. The kicker is that this HiveMind knows exactly how to MindRape you. Atlanta is confronted by children seeking aid and is driven AxCrazy because she can't refuse them. Sieg is forced to confront the ugliness in human nature, starting with his failed attempt to rescue a little girl who looks suspiciously like a young Jeanne; he drives off the person assaulting her only for her to run in fear of ''him'' as well and is quickly run over by a carriage and then tossed into a river.]]
** [[spoiler: Sieg has a conversation with the dead Reika, who {{breaking speech}}es him and then suddenly becomes a slashed up corpse. It is as though Jack has become a DimensionLord and created a PsychologicalTormentZone.]]

* Avicebron (Caster of Black) wants to recreate Paradise with his Golem. Well, that sounds jolly... except to complete the Golem, he needs someone that has been very close to him, and that happens to be [[spoiler:his own Master and pupil, Roche]], who gets thrown into the core of that Golem, screaming and calling out Avicebron on his actions as the Golem absorbed [[spoiler:him]]. The Golem itself is a gigantic abomination that could give Spartacus a run for his money and any man-like creature (real men or homunculus) it touched will be forcibly absorbed to him. And the more it fights, the more it gets more powerful from strength, toughness to agility, to the point that unless it's taken down in a swift moment, that kind of monster would be completely invincible and nothing would stop it to recreate the world into a Paradise without humans.
* Episode 18 is this AND tearjerker. It is also the beginning of a downward spiral of the usually calm and collected Atalanta that continued in further episodes. After witnessing Jack being purified, which brought her back memories about her being abandoned as a child, she slowly slips into madness, first constantly ranting against Jeanne with BerserkerTears on and constantly putting bulged out eyes because of it. The sight of Jeanne became her BerserkButton that she [[RevengeBeforeReason became fixated in killing Jeanne to avenge the children]] and refused cooperation with her allies that even Achilles, who would usually try to befriend her casually, became unnerved at her, and afterwards she became some sort of ScreamingWarrior that screams '''"RULEEERRR!!!"''' angrily whenever Jeanne is around. [[spoiler:This eventually culminates into her discarding her heroic side to activate her forbidden Noble Phantasm, Agrius Metamorphosis, that turned her into an extremely feral Berserker-like beast just for a chance to kill Jeanne and exact vengeance.]] To witness Atalanta's slow transformation into a raging beast can be rather terrifying.
