Nightmare Fuel / Inazuma Eleven: Ares

• Ares introduces the Ares No Tenbin, a school designed to push anyone from elementary all the way until college to become successful physically and academically. However, if you don't have the mental capacity to withstand it like Haizaki's friend Akane, then it can leave you comatose for years.
• Orion #3: Park, Baek, and Lee outright brutalize Seok, their own captain, one of them kneeing him straight in the gut to remove him from the game. The Disciples of Orion do not play around.
  • Worse, any discipline that loses or ultimately fails in their mission is taken away by The Men in Black for who knows what reason.
• Orion #4: Ichihoshi nearly murders Endou with a spike hidden on the soccer battle he shot at him while training.
• Orion #6: What's worse than blinding players with light and tackling them brutally? How about cutting their legs with a hidden knife inside their shoes! The first sabotage is something that while painful, is still something easier to heal from, but cutting their legs could cause grievous injuries especially if they were to cut a sensitive spot.
• Orion #13: The Reveal of Ichihoshi. He's not Ichihoshi Mitsuru, he's Ichihoshi Hikaru. The younger brother who was unable to cope with his older brother's death and as a result absorbed his personality, but unlike Fubuki, he thought that he was Mitsuru while Hikaru was injured by the car crash and is currently ill. It's truly horrifying to realize you're not even the person you thought you were and that everything your organization told you was a lie to motivate you to work for them.
  • That's not even counting the fact that while character deaths are done off screen previously, we see Mitsuru dying right in front of Hikaru on-screen. A first on-screen death in Inazuma Eleven as a whole. It's any wonder that he's traumatized...
• Orion #33: Asuto, after he turned down the offer to be part of Orion, his father then orders two men to chloroform knocking Asuto out. Keep in mind he is not any older then 14 and this is also a pretty realistic way to kidnap someone in this show. This scene alone makes any other time Asuto is alone with his dad creepy.
• Orion #36: The Stinger for the next episode shows Asuto completely brainwashed as a part of Orion... Thankfully it was later shown to be someone with a similar hairstyle like Asuto in the next episode, however this does leave us wondering where the real Asuto is.
• Orion #43: Near the end of the episode, we are introduced to Irina Girikanan, whose Establishing Character Moment is being an Abusive Parent, slapping Bernard down. A 29 year old man, no less! While most parents in Inazuma Eleven are shown to be flawed, but loving parents to their kids along with some Good Parents, with a few exceptions, Irina is outright the first parent in the franchise who is shown to be a completely abusive mother. Anyone who had an Abusive Parent once would have find things that Bernard endured hit Close to Home.
