* CompleteMonster: [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon Makiko Kisugi]], the Fear Ghoul, is a [[PsychoPsychologist psychiatrist]] and SerialKiller who terrorized the city five years before the pillar of light was created. Finding the evolution drug inside Nagi's room at the hospital, Kisugi tested it on rats and [[ProfessorGuineaPig herself]], gaining the ability to sense the fear in others. Discovering that she liked the taste of fear, Kisugi began scaring her patients in the worst conditions, and murdered five young, strong-willed girls by removing their brains while they were still alive, and stalked a sixth would-be victim, because "their souls taste better". Having manipulated Pigeon, Kisugi broke Mo Murder's spine and threw him off the hospital balcony, killing him. The anime explores even more of her crimes, as she had injected her patients, and her own pregnant friend with the drug, just [[ForScience to see what would happen]].

*AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Boogiepop an entity that happens to possess Touka whenever it is necessary? Or is Boogiepop just some alternate personality that Touka developed out of the stress of her parent's then troubled relationship? And how much does Touka know or not know about her connection to Boogiepop? In-and-out of universe these questions are debated and ultimately subjected to one's own opinions. Nagi and Takeda (to a degree)at least seem to consider Boogiepop a split personality of Touka's, while Boogiepop considers himself to be entirely seperate from Touka.
