* [[HeroKiller Izhar]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast the Ravager]], the [[{{Kaiju}} eldest living drake]]. Thousands of years old and one of the few Grimm to be scary enough to get a name. It's wings are so dark the literally leach the light from the sky. It spends most of its fight against [[BadassCrew Rose, Qrow, Taiyang and Glynda]] simply [[JustToyingWithThem playing with them]], laughing at any attempts to fight it. When it does decide to fight, he fights with a better tactical ability than the Huntsman. When it does decide to spit acid, it comes out in a massive torrent that simply dissolved everything it touches.

** At one point, she buys a bladed glove, which she then combines with her [[SuperSpeed Semblance]] to create a weapon that allows her to casually put her hand into a {{Mook|s}}'s chest and crushes his heart. She then takes out three different White Fang members in the same way in as many seconds, barely showing remorse.

** One scene has Future!Ruby/Rose calmly cleaning her weapon when Weiss, Blake, and Yang walk in to find her humming as she washes [[spoiler:Cinder and Roman's]] blood off of Crescent Rose. It takes her several minutes, during which Weiss throws up, to realize that she is casually swirling her hand through another persons blood. Even then she doesn't seem bothered by that.

* Cinder's plan to take over is both terrifying and [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy highly effective]]. The ''only'' reason she lost is because of Future!Ruby/Rose.

** When confronted by the fact that she has killed other human beings, Yang asks exactly how many people Rose has killed. Her response is to shrug and say she lost count years ago.

** First, she has Mercury and Emerald poison the Beacon graduation feast, which kills half the Huntsman and Huntresses in attendance.
** Second, she unleashes Grimm on unsuspecting villages and towns to both weaken and discredit the remaining Huntsman while recruiting defectors, completely crippling the organization. By this time, the only active team left is Team [=RWBY=].

** When the tide turns against her, she begins a scorched earth policy and unleashes even more Grimm on the populace. By the time she and Ruby face off for the final time, the entire kingdom has been reduced to a complete wasteland.
* Thousand Homes. An area over a [[AppliedPhlebotinum vast Dust Mine]] that has been attempted to be settled [[MeaningfulName thousands of times]]. It is described as a cursed area with the ground soaked in the blood of hundreds of thousands. It is home to the most dangerous type of Grimm, the [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Drakes]], which are described as bigger than [[{{Kaiju}} Deathstalkers]] at birth and spit acid.

* Weiss's Father is revealed to be a man whose cruelty is second only to Cinder's. Reports show that his Faunus workers are little more than slaves and are treated worse than animals. Repeatedly beaten, murdered, tortured, raped and experimented on, they have been stripped of all humanity and are little more than shells. Weiss' father, in order to keep his opinion justified, had dozens of "legitimate" tests and studies to prove himself right and indoctrinated Weiss to his way of thinking.

* Overlaps with Tearjerker, but when it really hits Rose that [[spoiler: her version of her team are all permanently gone]] she really lays out how horrible it is to be forced into a whole new timeline. Even though she has a second chance to make things right, her old friends are completely gone, and the young team RWBY is constantly horrified at the things that she thinks are normal. She's an alien in her own life and it breaks her.

* Seeing how much the war has changed Ruby/Rose. She goes from a cheerful little girl with dreams of changing the world for the better to a terrifying force of nature who has killed and is planning to kill again.

** One scene has Future!Ruby/Rose calmly cleaning her weapon when Weiss, Blake, and Yang walk in to find her humming as she washes [[spoiler:Cinder and Roman's]] blood off of Crescent Rose.
