7* Asuka sees her parents being quartered after refusing an offer from the Disas. Now, she suffers from PTSD not only because of her parents' death, but also from the grueling battles she endured over the years.
8* The torture scenes, ooh boy.
9** Abby tortures Nozomi by putting a hot iron in her skin, cutting off her left forearm, and having her associates use Water Torture.
10** After doing a successful operation alongside Asuka, Kurumi tortures a captured illegal magical girl by injecting her with a serum that will make her obey Kurumi's wishes.
11** In the manga, Kurumi is able to talk Chisato out of her DespairEventHorizon without laying a hand on her. In episode 12 of the anime however, she decides to torture her regardless of her not needing information, which ends with Kurumi ramming a thin metal spike through Chisato's breast. Its [[ScreamDiscretionShot mercifully panned away from]], but still incredibly unsettling given who is doing it, and how unnecessary it was.
12* After Asuka and Kurumi save Nozomi from Abigail's clutches and leave her nearly injured, the latter yells "Fuck you!" twice in a terrifying manner and goes out to kill them both.
13* Kurumi's [[Main/PsychoLesbian real]] [[Main/SoftSpokenSadist person]][[Main/{{Yandere}} ality]]. Especially in chapter 13 when she reacts that she and Asuka share the same room.
14* Chisato’s entire backstory: loses her leg and her mother to drunk drivers who get off basically scott-free, her dead beat dad gambles away their settlement from the accident and gets them in debt, nearly gets sold as a prostitute BY said dad, and only manages to escape the situation because a member of the Babel Brigade makes her into a magical girl. She then manages to find some form of hope and freedom in her new life, and willing helps her savior in a siege out of gratitude….only for it to them be revealed that the Brigade member in question was the one who caused the car accident ON PURPOSE, and the entire series of events was meant to drive her into a corner so that she would willingly become a magical girl. She is then recruited into M-Squad as a BoxedCrook looking for some measure of redemption, with the likelihood that she ever gets to truly live a life of her own being VERY slim. Holy crap, someone get this girl a hug.
15* The Babel Brigade puts their victims in a very ''small'' Magical Box.
16* The reveal of Tamara’s situation. Not only is she frequently TORTURED for failures (it’s outright stated that her torturer has cattle prods, branding irons, and whips that she wishes to use on Tamara), but she is also constantly BRAINWASHED as a means of control by her handlers. Good lord.
