Nightmare moments in Epithet Erased
Warning: Spoilers Off applies to this page. Proceed at your own risk.
- Sylvie has an attack literally called "Nightmare Fuel", so naturally it's going to create a few creepy scenes. A pretty frightening one is when he uses it on Molly and reveals her pyrophobia, surrounding her and Giovanni with real flames that drive Molly into a very realistic panic attack, leaving her crying and helplessly clutching Giovanni's cape.
- Zora, despite her snarking and cowboy get-up, is a pretty frightening person. Ramsey is absolutely terrified of her, and she quickly demonstrates he has every reason to be when he breaks her gun on a rock. She grabs up Percy's sword, imbuing it with her epithet, and starts chasing after them in a bloodthirsty rage, full intent on murdering them both. Her narration makes it clear that, if Ramsey hadn't let Zora cut off his arm, she would have stabbed Percy in the heart. Her epithet, "Sundial", also has some very terrifying potential. She can speed up or reverse any natural process, including the process of aging. She demonstrates this ability on Bugsy, de-aging him into a baby, then ages Howie into an elderly man, both in a matter of seconds (although, thankfully, they return to normal at the end of the episode). When she slices off Ramsey's arm with Percy's sword, she casually tells him that he'll be dust within a few seconds.
- Ramsey's Indy Ploy isn't exactly much better. To save himself and Percy from an enraged, sword-swinging Zora, he lets her cut off his arm. The art style keeps it from being too gruesome, and he can reattach the limb afterwards but we still hear Ramsey crying out and gasping in pain when it happens. Percy is understandably horrified.
