* Lotus Pier falls in the very first chapter. For those in the know, that's the moment Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yanli, and Wei Wuxian [[SoleSurvivor lose everything and everyone they know]]. It's mitigated a little by the shinobi organizing to hide those cultivators who were in the field, but they spend ''months'' convinced that they're all that's left.
* Tomoe's personal history is similarly fraught, which is one reason she doesn't object too much to joining the Sunshot Campaign. As explained in ''The B-Plot'', her entire clan was massacred when she was around the same age as the Jiang siblings, with the only other survivor being her toddler nephew. Her surviving family (her married-out sister) wants nothing more to do with her. Her only overarching goal is to track down and kill the people responsible, no matter where that journey takes her. The only consolation is that Shinta followed her across the sea.
* Shinta disappears in Qishan after the cultivator carrying him is shot out of the sky. Because of [[NightOfTheLivingMooks the sheer number of fierce corpses in the area]], the Jiang and Jin cultivators who survive the battle have to flee without retrieving any of their comrades' bodies.
** When Tomoe hears about this, [[HeroicSafeMode she shuts down emotionally and narrows her focus to just completing her revenge]]. Her narration barely acknowledges other people talking, no matter if they've previously befriended her. Tomoe even goes as far as to resort to [[{{Necromancer}} textbook necromancy/demonic cultivation]] to interrogate the ghosts trapped by her sword for guidance. Then she abandons the Sunshot Campaign entirely and heads into Qishan alone.
* Minato and Kushina arrive in the story--not as fully-fledged shinobi, but as scared genin being shuffled from place to place by DeepCoverAgent adults who are desperate to keep them alive.
** Wataru has no actual idea how to deal with children [[DarkAndTroubledPast because of his past experiences]], and has a difficult time coming to terms with being their primary guardian. He's afraid of hurting them by accident, constantly stopping himself from wondering what trauma they're already carrying and trying not to pry.
* Wataru gets his first-ever letter from the Sunshot Campaign's leadership.
-->Chen Hao of Lanling,
-->I regret to inform you that Wu Tao disappeared one month ago in Qishan, during a mission with the Jiang and Jin forces to destroy a Wen outpost. During the retreat, he fell off a sword and his body was not recovered. Upon learning this, Wu Xue departed the Sunshot Campaign. -->There have been no sightings of her since.
-->You shouldn’t have had to find out like this.
-->I know Wu Xue and Wu Tao weren’t who they said they were, and I assume you’re the same. But Yunmeng Jiang owes you a debt for sheltering and saving our people, even if you never took up a sword in our name. Most people didn’t. It’s not something I can ask from non-cultivators or foreigners. Not ever, but especially not now.
-->People who’ve fought with Wu Xue are sure she’s not dead. But she’s gone right for the heart of Nightless City, so there’s no proof I can give you now. The next time I’d expect to see her is after the dust settles and the blood’s dried. If at all.
-->If you want to send any messages, I can keep them until I see her again. Send whatever you want directly to me. My mail isn’t inspected.
-->It’s the least I can do.
-->Sincerely,

to:
* The lives of the [[SealedEvilInACan jinchuriki]] are generally unhappy affairs, brought to the forefront by the number of them in the cast who can finally commiserate over their experiences.
** Though Yugito is very loyal to her village, she's as affected (read: guilt-ridden) by the offhand mention of being used as a human weapon as Kei is.
** Side stories reveal that [[DefrostingIceKing Utakata]]'s childhood was very isolated, and he values his pirate friends [[DoomMagnet after their deaths]] because they accepted him and Saiken instantly.
** [[FriendToAllChildren Han]] outright says that he'd much rather continue babysitting a tiny civilian milkmaid on an island in the middle of nowhere than go back to his village.
** Gaara is clearly much happier with [[WeirdnessMagnet the Straw Hat Pirates]] than he ever was in Sunagakure, and even admits that he and his siblings aren't close.
** Kei's childhood was sacrificed for the sake of keeping [[CheerfulChild Naruto]] and [[FieryRedhead Kushina]] safe, even if she made the choice willingly.
* Ace's POV chapter takes place in [[HellholePrison Impel Down]] as he's awaiting execution. While chained to the wall with sea prism stone to keep him from escaping, he has a lot of time to think about how much he's failed his loved ones by being captured. He mentally apologizes to the Whitebeard Pirates, his brother, and even his new jinchuriki friends for leading them into trouble. The only thing that lifts his mood is when Jinbei is crammed into his cell, and Ace ends up telling the most reasonable of the Seven Warlords about [[{{Keet}} Luffy]].
!!''Shell Game''
* More than once, Kei makes a CallForward to what is referred to as the "hell year" by the readers. The issue comes up each time Kei makes a remark, mental or otherwise, that downplays her life's value or her past traumas.
* Hitoshi's self-esteem is clearly through the floorboards, thanks to constant rejection of his Quirk and therefore ''him'' as "villainous." He tends to lash out verbally at people nearby, and was well on his way to not having many friends before Kei sorts him out, [[{{Ninja}} even if she's not necessarily the most forthcoming person]].
** Kei and Hitoshi have a falling-out late in the Sports Festival, and Hitoshi briefly has a moment of pure emotional confusion when, instead of cutting ties forever, Kei leaves a token of their friendship with him while he's unconcious. Until Homura shouts him into order, he doesn't even know how to begin approaching patching up any hurt. He clearly hasn't had many friends before.
* During the raid on the training camp, the UA students' terror amid the attackers really shows that they are just kids learning to be heroes. They panic, cry, or otherwise freak out while in life-threatening peril, even while fighting back. For Kakashi's part, this means he defends the students to the point of risking injury that lays him out flat, but Kei instead wishes that she had some way to comfort them--but as Turtle, she can't.
* Kei and Hitoshi have a difficult conversation while visiting a cat cafe, because Kei is not going to be in Tokyo forever. They've grown close enough that the thought of Kei leaving permanently hits Hitoshi hard. He's clearly not dealing well with it a chapter later, either.

* The Memory Arc:
** Kei gets put through the ''wringer'' on this one. [[spoiler:First, spending almost a year outside of the village and away from her loved ones badly damages her already-wavering self-worth and leads almost directly into an [[HeroicBSOD emotional meltdown]] in the first chapter of the arc. While away from Konoha to recover with the help of the Chinatsugumi, on the assumption that staying in town with [[BrokenPedestal Minato]] would amplify the problem, [[FromBadToWorse the Chinatsugumi hub town is attacked by Orochimaru and Yagura]]. The fight kills the core Chinatsugumi with whom Kei was closest, and the supposed relaxation mission becomes a desperate fight for survival. And when [[TheCavalry Konoha gets the alert and intervenes]], [[HeroicRROD Kei's jinchuriki seal is damaged and sends her on a near rampage]]. Once brought down from ''that'' by Kakashi and Katsuyu, Kei uses the remainder of her strength to [[TakingTheBullet save Minato from being killed by the Kusanagi retaliatory strike]].]]

** Kei goes into the arc expecting to overturn canon. [[spoiler: She fails. Her personal ButterflyOfDoom kicks in, and Kakashi is grabbed instead of Obito and despite Team Minato's best efforts. He's put through a [[ColdBloodedTorture field interrogation]] that results in the loss of his eye. While Kei and Obito do manage to kill the two Iwa jonin, because they underestimate the two chunin, Obito is still caught in a rockfall while saving the lives of his teammates.
