** The end of Episode 33. After the TimeSkip, Lewis and Kai are trapped by not one, but four Chiropterans. Given that their guns are not effective against these monsters, one would think they are finished.

In short, after a year of absence, ShesBack!]]

* NightmareFuel: Nathan threatening to kill Amshel if he harms Diva. It's only for a split second, but his voice sounds outright ''demonic'', and it's so unlike what the viewer's seen of him so far that it's downright creepy (he even cracks a wine glass Amshel's holding with pure KillingIntent.)
** Those [[spoiler: Chiropteran children]] in Episodes 12 and 13. As if their choir singing isn't disturbing enough, [[spoiler: the viewers have the privilege of watching them burst out of the kids bodies to reveal fetus-like monsters and brutally tear apart the mercenaries working for Red Shield.]] [[SarcasmMode Fun.]]
** TheReveal of [[spoiler:Diva]] in Episode 24. This is when the viewer really gets to see how fucking psycho and sadistic this BigBad is. Hell, even ''Saya'' is freaked out from [[spoiler:her sister's... quirks.]]
** Doubles as a TearJerker: [[spoiler: Irene's crystallization and death. Knowing she doesn't have long without help from Saya, Kai convinces his sister to give Irene some of her blood. [[HopeSpot It at first seems to work...]] only for Irene to completely turn into crystal and stone, before shattering to death.]] That particular scene is the image for the Anime section's NightmareFuel page for good reason.
*** How The Schiffs came to be in the first place. [[spoiler:They're genetically-engineered Chevaliers, put under dehumanizing experiments and barred from learning even the most basic social skills as they rested in their cages. After finally breaking out of the hellhole, they realize that unlike other Chevaliers, their lives are finite and are seen as nothing more than weapons.]]
** [[spoiler:To say nothing of Diva raping and petrifying Riku to death. No wonder Saya crossed the DespairEventHorizon after this horrific and [[MoralEventHorizon despicable]] act.]]
** The Corpse Corps. [[spoiler: To put it bluntly, they're the Schiffs' PsychoRangers. And all the while, governments are convinced that they are Chiropteran-hunting robots, blissfully unaware that they too have presumably having gone under a similar brutal development program but are this time cold, thoughtless killers. It's hardly a surprise why Moses had a brief HeroicBSOD after finding out.]]
** Imagine being a young adult that's dragged into a room by two of Diva's Chevaliers. There, you are told that you will be pressed into service and the next thing you know, Diva approaches you and closes in on your neck, dooming you into an eternal contract to be her chevalier. And with no friends, you are stuck in this hell all by yourself. [[spoiler:This is how Karl became a Chevalier.]]

*AdaptationDistillation: The manga changes a lot from several characters. Saya is often a JerkAss, Hagi is more sensitive, Kai is more mature early, Riku gets more screentime, David gets less screentime, etc. This changes make it look as if they were aiming to attract more female readers due to the bigger focus on Bishonen characters.
