** To elaborate, after Zagato's death, Emeraude completely LOSES it, screaming his name and wracking herself with grief as the episode ends with an ominous heartbeat soundtrack. Then, when the next episode begins, the heartbeats get faster and faster before she transforms from a sad-looking child into a more dark-looking adult form. When the Magic Knights finally arrive at her side, she barely acknowledges them at all. But when they let slip that they killed Zagato, Emeraude immediately loses her temper and blasts them, summoning her own Rune god and lashing out again and again, vowing to kill them all as revenge for the loss of her lover. What little remains of her good side has to beg the Magic Knights to kill her before she loses herself entirely and wishes for Cephiro's destruction, putting everyone out of her misery.

** Also, our first introduction to debonair was in one of Hikaru's '''nightmares!''' In it, Debonair said that all worlds would "belong to her." Which means that if the Magic Knights hadn't returned to Cephiro, Debonair would have destroyed not only Cephiro, but the '''entire universe!''' And did I mention how the dream ended with Debonair surrounding Hikaru with pitch black darkness and then trying to slash at her with her FemmeFatalons?

** Speaking of which, Debonair qualifies as Nightmare Fuel all by herself. Her nhilistic and power hungry personality, her [[EvilIsHammy ultra-hammy voice]], the pipe-organ music that plays whenever she shows up, Debonair is just cruel in every sense.

* The monster of episode 14 appears as a super fast column of light and abducts Umi, Fuu, and Mokona. Later, Hikaru runs through a field of thorns and falls into a ravine, causing her to bleed in the process. Realizing it can smell blood like a shark, Hikaru cuts her arm to lure it to her.

* There's a bit of Nightmare Fuel exclusive to the manga too. The penalty for failing the test to become pillar. Whomever fails the test ends up disappearing and not in a peaceful manner like their bodies fading away. Their bodies get ripped apart. Hikaru's attempt to defy this and save Eagle results in her body being ripped apart as well. She was even screaming in agony. If Umi and Fuu hadn't saved her, she would have perished.

* The fatal illness that Eagle Vision was contracted with. More so in the anime where he even coughs up ''blood.'' The scariest thing about that is that there are fatal illnesses in the real world that have that as a symptom as well.

* At one scene in episode 45, Hikaru's own reflection in a mirror grins evilly, and then her hand emerges from the mirror, and it turns out to be Nova. Nova then pins Hikaru to the bed like she was about to ''physically'' rape her.

\nWhile most people think of the Anime/RayearthOVA whenever they hear "Magic Knight Rayearth" and "Nightmare Fuel" in the same topic, Rayearth does ''not'' limit anything scary in it to the OVA. While it may appear to be a light-hearted shoujo adventure fantasy series, Magic Knight Rayearth does feature dark and scary stuff in it, especially towards the end of the first season/manga series, and far more so throughout the second, especially in the anime. CLAMP clearly believes that young girls can handle dark subject matters. So how could a shoujo fantasy epic scare you? Let's find out.

** In episode 11 of the anime, she got a village's ''entire'' population to try to kill the Magic Knights ''without'' her MindControl magic! All she did was make a [[PeoplePuppets Person Puppet]] out of the mayor to make him commit suicide, and threaten to do the same with all the villagers if they didn't kill the Magic Knights.
