History NightmareFuel / MobileSuitGundamAge

** Thought the big twist revealing that the UE [[spoiler: are HumanAllAlong]] would make them much less horrifying? Nope, it actually makes them '''worse.''' Think about it: [[spoiler:since the Vagans were living in a planet that has a weak magnetic field that can't protect them from cosmic radiation, they most likely were killing each other for 150 years over scarce resources (later confirmed to be true by Zeheart). Then a dictator, Ezelcant, uses their desperation to unite them under a promise of capturing Earth Sphere, which has been at peace for 100 years with advanced mobile suit technologies banned by treaty. Hate to pull a [[GodwinsLaw Godwin]] but, much like how Zeon resembles Nazi Germany, Vagan is the second coming of UsefulNotes/NorthKorea. Being personality-cult fanatics who blow all their resources on military technology at the expense of social development (as seen in Episodes 29 and 37) clinches it.]]
* And their ace in the hole? [[EnfantTerrible Desil]] [[AxCrazy Galette.]] A DeliberatelyCuteChild who was always bad news to Flit, he reveals his [[AxCrazy true colors]] in Episode 13. From killing his own comrades to [[spoiler: pressing Yurin to make her fight for the UE]], Desil has cemented himself as a horrifying villain in the series.
** One episode after that, [[spoiler:he kills Yurin and mocks her, saying that she was nothing but a toy at his own disposal. The lack of any empathy is truly unnerving... from a seven year old, no less!]]

* Imagine being chained to the cockpit of a UE mobile suit as an AxCrazy BloodKnight controls the functions of that mobile suit. Then, when you see your loved one on the battlefield, the system controlled by the BloodKnight orders your mobile suit to open fire on your loved one against your will. And all you could do is watch in horror. [[spoiler: That is what happens to Yurin when Desil had her locked up in the cockpit of the Farsia mobile suit in Episode 14.]]
* Grodek getting jumped [[spoiler:and stabbed to death by Arabel Zoi in Episode 24. [[SlasherSmile Arabel then gives his smile demonically]] in the middle of a dark, wet alleyway will haunt you for days.]]
* In Episode 26, Flit reveals his trump card, a KillSat known as the Photon Ring. Much like the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeed GENESIS]], it vaporizes any unprotected Vagan that's in its path. Combined with Flit's eternal hatred of the nation that killed both his parents and [[spoiler:Yurin]] and... [[OhCrap well, you do the math.]]
* In Episode 27, [[spoiler: Daz attempted to [[TakingYouWithMe taking Flit with him]], and his face actually looks ''even'' scarier than Desil's!]]
* Flit's [[MoralEventHorizon coup d'état in Episode 28]]. [[spoiler:While it's one thing to remove traitors in the government, it's another to eliminate those who would oppose outright genocide of the Vagans. Moreover, seeing a cold Flit imposed on the terrified faces of the uprooted officials shows how disturbing his plan is.]] What's worse is that [[spoiler: they may have been doomed anyway since [[TheSocialDarwinist Ezelcant's true plans]] [[ISurrenderSuckers would just make the Vagans lure them into a false sense of hope and leave them open to attack]]. [[RightForTheWrongReasons Meaning that in a way,]] [[ProperlyParanoid Flit was actually doing]] [[DarkMessiah what he]] ''[[DarkMessiah thought]]'' [[WellIntentionedExtremist he was doing]].]]
** [[spoiler:The sheer thought of what Flit had when learning 'Second Moon', Vagan's main base was now in Earth Orbit. "Now we can wipe them all out."]]
* We witness in Episode 30 [[spoiler:a Vagan battleship wrecking havoc on an entire city, wiping out innocent lives; we even get to witness a mother bearing a baby vaporized by fire! All of this terror makes the AGE-3 vaporizing the crew of the ship with its new BFG, which would have also qualified as one NightmareFuel, all the much more satisfying. The scenes of destruction as the Vagan ruthlessly attack the city of Olivernotes. Particularly as civilians try to outrun blasts from the beam weapons and fail, demonstrating once again that the producers are uninterested in the GoryDiscretionShot.]]
* We finally get to see life in Vagan. [[spoiler:Many citizens live in poverty and are unable to get their hands on medicine for the disease caused by Mars Rays. And even if they ''could'' it would only be a temporary measure--Ezelcant himself has just six months to live, which will leave his wife with a dead child ''and'' husband. The disease hits everyone regardless of their age or social status. Conditions are so hopeless and dehumanizing that most people gradually shut off their emotions as they get older, except for resentment towards the Federation that abandoned them. For Vagan, crossing the DespairEventHorizon is not an event in one's life, ''it'' '''''is''''' ''their life.'']]

* In ''Memory of Eden'', [[spoiler: every single moment where the dead and Zeheart communicate with each other wouldn't be out of place in a horror movie]].

* Flit's [[MoralEventHorizon coup d'état in Episode 28]]. [[spoiler:While it's one thing to remove traitors in the government, it's another to eliminate those who would oppose outright genocide of the Vagans. Moreover, seeing a cold Flit imposed on the terrified faces of the uprooted officials shows how disturbing his plan is.]] What's worse is that [[spoiler: they may have been doomed anyway since Ezelcant's true plans would just make the Vagans lure them into a false sense of hope and leave them open to attack. Meaning Flit was actually RightForTheWrongReasons.]]

* Flit's [[MoralEventHorizon coup d'état in Episode 28]]. [[spoiler:While it's one thing to remove traitors in the government, it's another to eliminate those who would oppose outright genocide of the Vagans. Moreover, seeing a cold Flit imposed on the terrified faces of the uprooted officials shows how disturbing his plan is.]] What's worse is that [[spoiler: they may have been doomed anyway since Ezelcant's true plans would have required him to lure them into a sense of false hope so that Earth could be open for attack, and not even his fellow Vagans would be safe.]]

* Flit's [[MoralEventHorizon coup d'état in Episode 28]]. [[spoiler:While it's one thing to remove traitors in the government, it's another to eliminate those who would oppose outright genocide of the Vagans.

** Imagine being chained to the cockpit of a UE mobile suit as an AxCrazy BloodKnight controls the functions of that mobile suit. Then, when you see your loved one fighting on the opposite side, the system controlled by the BloodKnight orders the mobile suit to open fire on your loved one. And all you could do is just watch in horror. [[spoiler: That's exactly what happens to Yurin when Desil forced her to pilot the Farsha mobile suit in Episode 14.]]

* [[spoiler:[[MoralEventHorizon Flit's coup d'etat and consequential witch hunt in Episode 28.]] The faces of the officials who were rooted and presumably executed like the Prime Minister for trying to achieve a compromise with the Vagans and [[OhCrap Flit's goal to exterminate every last Vagan]] are... disturbing to say the least.]]

** And now we see how far his [[SanitySlippage sanity slipped]] between generations. He's no longer a [[DeliberatelyCuteChild Deliberately Cute]] [[http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/File:Desil.png Child]], he's now '''[[http://images.wikia.com/gundam/images/3/3a/Desil-gen2.png THIS.]]''' In short, he gets worse.

** Even seen in the light, the Vagan Gear SID is still [[http://www.gundam-age.net/ms/3rd_017w.html rather unsettling to look at.]]
