*** The Blackened, [[spoiler: Naia from ''Princess Princess'']], provides a healthy dose of it upon their reveal. [[spoiler:The sheer thought of someone you considered a harmless and caring friend turning out to be an almost emotionless killer [[DeadPersonImpersonation who impersonated that friend]], in this case Mayuri, [[ParanoiaFuel is absolutely terrifying]].]]

* From ''VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa V3|Killing Harmony}}'', Nico was unsettled by Tenko's strange expressions, and Kaito's NightmareFace was enough for him to compare it to [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Kazuichi]]'s NightmareFace. [[FromBadToWorse Then came along]] Kokichi's snake-like smirk, which freaked him out so much that he said it was the creepiest expression out of the cast. THEN in the very next episode, Kokichi's next frightening expression turned his skin pitch-black and his hair white, driving Nico to practically beg Kokichi to stop.

* For the finale episode of [[VideoGame/AITheSomniumFilesnirvanAInitiative AI: The Somnium Files- nirvanA Initiative]], Nico changes up the intro to reflect what at first seems to be a parody of the ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTimmyPowerHour'' intro with Mizuki’s and Ryuki’s theme songs overlapping each other. However, a sinister tone starts to overlay the intro when the song started being slowed down and played in reverse, along with visual glitches overtaking the screen, before cutting out completely. This leads to a screen filled with static and filtered gameplay footage as [[spoiler: Nico!Tearer plays the character straight, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou seemingly asking the viewer if they could hear him]], calling out for the Frayer]]. Considering the [[VideoGame/AITheSomniumFiles previous game’s]] LP series had its finale be a goofy visualization of its theme intro, this serves as a startling, yet on-theme surprise to those who were not expecting the finale intro to take this sort of turn.
* For the VisualNovel/ParanormasightTheSevenMysteriesOfHonjo's "And now back to..." segment, Nico simply says "And now back to Paranormasight" normally, with [[NothingIsScarier no funny quips, no crazy shenanigans involving characters from different series, nothing]]. Considering the work was a horror series it made sense, but to see it be just a normal intro made viewers experience MoodWhiplash from it.

* As we find out in Despair Episode 10, Despair Episode 7 made him worry about what they were going to do for the episodes after that.
* Throughout ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'', Nico made several jokes about how [[SameContentDifferentRating the game is rated M while the rest of the series is rated T]]. Then, he reached the point where [[spoiler:Blackquill reveals Athena attempted to ''dismember her mother's corpse'' in a misguided attempt to help her]]. This disturbed Nico to the point that he ''immediately'' stated that the game had earned its M-rating.

* Throughout ''Three Houses'', Nico starts to take issue with Dimitri's SanitySlippage over the course of the Blue Lions route. While he [[RuleOfFunny jokingly]] says it [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence makes him look hot]] (more hot to Nico/[[PlayerCharacter Bizzlead]] [[HoYay than usual anyway]]), he starts to take serious issue with it come [[WhamEpisode Chapter 11]], where [[spoiler:the Flame Emperor's identity is revealed to be Edelgard and Dimitri [[BreakTheCutie breaks]] from it, [[OneManArmy taking]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown down]] and [[NotHyperbole literally crushing]] Edelgard's soldiers before he shows a SlasherSmile]]. It leaves Nico's voice shaking in terror.
* Throughout his playthrough of ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'', Nico was going through the game [[WeirdnessCensor not too badly shaken]] by the early horror aspects of the game. All of that changes in [[ThirteenIsUnlucky Episode 13]], when Nico [[spoiler:enters Black Space for the first time]]. Nico describes being highly unsettled by some of the experiences there, but his most visceral reaction comes from [[spoiler: the Mewo room, where Omori has the option to cut open his cat. This largely stems from Nico’s [[AnimalLover love for animals]], and he was horrified by what he thought he had to do to Mewo, and was angered that he didn’t realize until his second visit to the room that [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot he could skip the segment]] by having Omori stab himself after getting the key]]. Nico wishes that he could unsee what happens there, and even puts a warning for the content and a time code to skip to for anybody who needs it.
** In Episode 26, he puts up a trigger warning for the neutral-bad ending, [[spoiler:in which Basil commits suicide and his friends discover his body. Sunny then follows suit after returning to his house and grabbing the knife in the kitchen, stabbing himself in his sleep.]] Nico was very disturbed by the ending, to the point where he was unable to do his normally happy outro.
* In his playthrough on '' VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'', the entire [[BodyHorror grotesque Giant Fetus Baby]] in House Beneviento's basement. Nico did not take it well upon the encounter.

Hilarious and entertaining [[LetsPlay/NicoB Nico]] may be, but there are quite a few moments that can be unsettling to both him and the Picky Penguins.

* Nico genuinely gets scared and disturbed of certain things in the games he played, such as [[VideoGame/{{Slender}} Slender Man]], [[spoiler:Omega/Photoshop Flowey]] from ''{{VideoGame/Undertale}}'', and [[spoiler:[[BigBad Kristoph Gavin]]]][[VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney 's scar on his hand]] [[PinocchioNose turning into]] [[GoodScarsEvilScars a demonic face]].

* Practically UpToEleven in his reaction to Episode 7 of ''[[Anime/Danganronpa3 Side:Despair]]''. He was so screwed up by it that he made two messages on Twitter in advance before the video was up that said "God, I really don't want to edit this Despair 7 video... That shit was just too much." and "Really shouldn't have watched that before dinner..." respectively. If that wasn't enough, he even put up a disclaimer at the beginning of his reaction video. It's scary alone that he was THAT shaken by the episode. The song Mukuro was made to sing only made it worse for him because of SoundtrackDissonance.
