4 [[caption-width-right:350:"Pitohui... It's the name of bird found only in New Guinea. A bird that is poisonous enough to kill anyone that touches it. That's a pitohui. [[TeamKiller A perfect]] [[TheSociopath name]] [[AxCrazy for her]]"]]
5
6!! Squad Jam 1 (Volume 1/Episodes 1 - 5)
7* Pitohui turning the Squad Jam into a Death Game, where if any of them die during the tournament then she would kill them in real life.
8** In relation, M's emotional breakdown where he's reduced to a sobbing wreck becomes a lot less funny after the reveal on ''why'' he's doing so. If he dies in Squad Jam, Pitohui would kill him in real life. M is absolutely terrified of Pitohui and states she's insane.
9
10!! Squad Jam 2 (Volumes 2 - 3/Episodes 6 - 12)
11* Goshi explaining Pito's backstory, [[spoiler:how she is a DeathSeeker and was meant to be a SAO player. However she missed out on her chance due to signing on a day late, which caused her to hit the DespairEventHorizon. The graphic showing a silhouette of the real life Pitohui going into despair is very chilling, accompanied by Goshi's narration that this changed Pito's life forever and she was never the same afterwards.]]
12* When Pitohui find out several teams have visited together to take her team down, her response is to let out a [[DissonantLaughter very unsettling laugh]] before deciding she would slaughter them.
13** Pitohui then proceeds to [[OneWomanArmy massacre over 20 players in under 10 seconds]], literally bashing player's heads in, crushing bones, and decapitating them with [[BoomHeadShot head shots]], all with a [[SlasherSmile wide-eyed grin]]. The scene is so brutal and full of carnage it really makes one wonder if this series will still be given a [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids kid friendly rating]]. Once it's down to two two survivors, she gleefully prolongs their demise, [[CherryTapping claiming she'd feel guilty over killing someone defenseless]].
14* Pitohui's [[spoiler:near-death via a BoomHeadShot is particularly chilling, with how the already psychotic woman further breaks down into delusional mania, as she becomes conflicted over fearing and being thrilled by death.]]
15* Pitohui [[spoiler:slaughtering Team MMTM with her red photon sword, with the look on her face becoming even more psychotic as she cuts up and slices all of the team up.]]
16
17!! Squad Jam 3 (Volumes 4 - 5)
18* The way Pito kills MMTM is particularly horrible by IRL standards, and might make you paranoid around sprinklers; she activates the sprinkler system to cover them in water, and then activating the malfunctioning generator, causing the electricity to get absorbed by the water as it falls and electrocutes them.
19** Before the TheReveal, [[NothingIsScarier the way it's framed in that no one, not even the reader, knows what killed them]], with them having seemingly just dropped dead for no discernible reason, can also be pretty unnerving.
20* Pitohui killing Ervin. He rushes into the bridge to interrogate her on the ship crashing into the building the rest of T-S were on, only to find her laying motionless next the captain's chair, unresponsive with her KTR laying next to her, with the lack of a dead tag being the only indicator that she's still alive. When Ervin gets contacted by David and Eva, he reports to them Pito's status, getting more and more unnerved. The both of them figure it out, but are unable to warn Ervin before Pito skewers his head from behind with her Photon Sword.
21--> '''David''': [[OhCrap Ervin! Get away from that crazy bitch!]]
22
23!! Test Play (Volume 6)
24* Let's be honest; the idea of [[AxCrazy Pitohui]] having a bazooka is scary in itself...
25* After TheReveal of true nature of the "[=NPCs=]", reading the epilogue from Jacob's perspective can be rather unnerving. Without the previous context, it just seems like you're reading about a military veteran going through one of the worse {{Trauma Conga Line}}s a soldier could go through; he gets amnesia and yet is still expected to lead, the enemy breaches the castle and kills two of his men, he captures one of the perpetrators only to discover they're a ChildSoldier[[note]] bear in mind that Jacob himself has a daughter[[/note]], tries to keep them alive only to watch them ''[[DrivenToSuicide kill themselves by caving their own head in]]'', three more of his men, one of which is his BestFriend, get killed, then the same girl he watched kill themselves earlier barges in, kills his last man, and then kills him while talking about she enjoys it. No ''wonder'' he decided to retire!
26
27!! Squad Jam 4 (Volumes 7 - 9)
28* While Fire's actions are largely PlayedForLaughs, there is something unnerving about the idea of someone you turned down in real life opting to [[StalkerWithACrush cyberstalk and harass you]].. Plus, considering that LLENN is hinted to be a bit of a DudeMagnet among the Squad Jam's spectators, Fire's careless use of her IRL name could create the very real risk of one of her more obsessive fans potentially stalking her IRL...
29* In the climax of [=SJ4=], Pito kills a player wielding a Desert Eagle by pinning him to the ground and forcing an entire container of water down his throat, all while Pito makes casual conversation and sings a Franz Schubert lullaby.
30
31!! Squad Jam 5 (Volumes 11 - ?)
32* In addition to the Alternative Equipment, [=SJ5=] has an additional rule; upon entry into the arena, all teams are seperated from one another and the entire map is obscured by a pitch-white fog, leaving all participants on their lonesome with no clue where their enemies or friends could be. While it's ultimately part of the game and LLENN takes it in her stride, it's still a rather unnerving scenario to find yourself in, as one player LLENN finds displays by firing wildly into the mist with a fear-stricken face after he hears LLENN loading her Vorpal Bunnies.
