YMMV / Heaven and Hell

• Complete Monster: See here.
• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • Fighting an angel-possessed Statue of Liberty.
  • When Naberius loses an arm, he compares it to Tango's missing arm, calling them twinsies.
• Magnificent Bastard: Erebos, real name Nestor, is the adopted child of the demon lord Azazel and the master of the Sect of the Broken Mind. Manipulating his sect for ages to serve the interests of hell, even leading them to sacrifice themselves to test his emotions and further the strikes against heaven, Erebos eventually betrays Azazel to help Tango and their friends at Solomon. When Erebos helps them delve into hell to save a friend Azazel has captive, Azazel attempts to break Erebos by revealing his entire life and purpose were a line from the start. Erebos promptly turns the tables, enacting a brilliant scheme that results in Azazel's death before Erebos dedicates himself fully to saving the world, making a final stand against the psychotic Archangel Uriel for the fate of the universe.
• Moment of Awesome: Listed in its own page, here.
• Nausea Fuel: Scott Niles, period. He is revolting both inside and outside.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • Chayne's horrific Mind Rape of Aria drives in that Chayne is not the caring mother she used to be. She has completely gone too far to ever stop and she will never be reasoned with.
  • Pluto's brutal murder of Tango's father. He was bad before, but this signifies him as the utter Knight Templar scumbag sadist he truly is.
  • Azazel revealing his manipulations of Erebos and the depth of all the evil he has done, with all he's planned.
  • Uriel deciding he's going to exterminate all of Heaven and Hell, even killing Saraquel and Raguel when they hesitate in adhering to his wishes.
• Nightmare Fuel: As usual, the Heaven Cycle has horrific moments...
  • The very concept of the cycles. Hundreds of thousands of endless deaths and extinctions under the whims of an equally callous heaven and hell that humans are completely captive in, doomed to be wiped out and enslaved time and time again.
  • Scott Niles and his trafficking ring. No supernatural evil to it, just good old fashioned human nightmares where children are pimped out for the pleasure of all-too human monsters.
  • What Azazel does to the luckless people who he deems worthy of changing...turning them into demonic slaves in a horrifically agonizing process, leaving them as the servants of hell forever. What he intends for earth isn't much better, with countless humans simply torn to shreds by demons and the rest enslaved in the aforementioned process, leaving only a horrific, maimed world dominated by demons. It doesn't help that Azazel had flayed his own former brother and left his skin like a trophy.
  • Pluto and the Children of Heaven are sickening sociopaths, with Pluto as the worst. The things Pluto does are just nightmarish, often dominating the minds of others to force them to do things like eat one another while leaving them enough awareness to be horrified. All for the so-human motivation of greed and hunger for power.
  • Naberius, as ever. One of the strongest beings in the setting and a nightmarish Tulpa with a monstrous appearance that surpasses anything else in story for unmitigated revulsion. Besides this, Naberius is the most twisted sadist in the entire saga, who relishes tortures on grand scales to the point Azazel has offered him countless human cities just so Naberius won't indulge in his appetites on Azazel and the demons.
  • The disturbingly realistic take on the death of Aria Summers, with her own mother finding her having hanged herself.
  • Everything about Uriel. A beautiful, shining archangel who is an egotistical psychopath out to usurp godhood in all but perhaps name, with a horrific, monstrous appearance underneath and with no way to reason with him.
  • Naberius earning his title as the 'poet of agony' with his pocket universe: over a trillion beings enslaved with Naberius forcing them to breed so he never runs out of playthings. Naberius subjects them to endless agonies with infinite new tortures he devises...skinless beings forced to fornicate, dance and praise him endlessly, countless more forced to boil alive for all time, and worse besides, as Naberius endlessly gloats over his twisted kingdom.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Chayne callously mind-raping her own daughter Aria is brutal and wrenching, given how much is from poor Aria's POV.
  • The death of Charles, especially as he manages to be Defiant to the End with Pluto, and expresses his pride in Tango before his death.
  • Even worse on the above is Pluto throwing Jenny into oblivion. Poor Tango is understandably shattered when they wake up.
  • The entire battle of Yonkers, where multiple named characters die, but especially Darby's death in Lavender's arms.
  • Jenny reflecting upon her father's death, especially when she learns he's gone forever.
  • The death of Aria Summers. All her pain, her mother's madness and especially said madness causing Chayne to horrifically Mind Rape her leads to Aria's suicide. a truly brutally depressing end for such a character who was a victim of Chayne's ego and inability to ever see she was wrong.
  • The death of Horace himself, passing away after a peaceful Heroic Sacrifice with his friends.
  • The death of Belphegor, and his farewell to Tango. One of the only decent Tulpas ever, and another person Tango's lost along the way, going out with full dignity and informing Tango what an honor it was to be their teacher.
  • A lower key one, but the death of Zita. After Horace died defending her and helping the others, Zita is too filled with rage to do anything but throw herself at the demons and angels, dying pointlessly...even though it's the last thing Horace would have wanted.
  • Even Chayne's final end. She breaks down over Aria's suicide, acknowledges it as her fault...and at the end, she truly allows herself to accept and move past her grief, understanding the true right future was a world where she lets Aria go...even at the end, Chayne dies at peace, with even the heroes admitting their sympathy for her.
