* Episode 8 has the witch Giranbo emerge from her dimension to give out tainted candy to child that let's her brainwash anyone who eats it to come to her. Once she's done this, she eats their dreams until they're an emotionless EmptyShell and dumps them in her Dream Graveyard like discarded candy wrappers. She does this ''every year'' to entire ''towns'' worth of children, and has for as far back as GUTS has on record. In addition to the AdultFear, only two of her drained victims are restored by her deaths, meaning what's likely hundreds if not thousands of children suffered this fate at her hands and are either dead or trapped as emotionless husks in the Dream Graveyard for eternity.

* What supposed to be a BreatherEpisode gets subverted for a member of GUTS, Tetsuo Shinjoh, who loses his brother-in-law to be because a monster called Gazort (an evolved form of accumulated Clitter) killed Takuma Aoki, Mayumi's (Tetsuo's little sister) boyfriend on the plane that he rode to Japan. Just to be clear, Mayumi and Takuma promised to get married when Takuma returns and this happened unexpectedly and quite heartbreaking to both Tetsuo and Mayumi.

*** It only gets even worst when [[spoiler:where the different outcome of the petrified giant being shattered into rubble]] in VideoGame/UltramanFightingEvolution3.\\

* In general, when there are giant monsters appearing in the city, there tend to be causalities. However, this series itself was filled with FridgeHorror, NightmareFuel, TearJerker in nearly every episodes by stating or showing this in a massive amount. Given that Creator/ChiakiKonaka's involvement as the show's writer, ''Tiga'' borders with seriousness and horror myths, some of which even takes cues from Literature/CthulhuMythos. This makes Ultraman Tiga a more darker series that leave soul-rending effects towards children compare to its successor, [[Series/UltramanDyna Ultraman Dyna]], which was more light-hearted to children.
