\\\"A Night Off\\\"
- Tyrian gleefully massacring the trapped citizens at the rally after Watts cuts the lights, while the Huntsmen are unable to intervene due to the darkness and the panicked civilians blocking them. When the Happy Huntresses try to rally, he sneaks up on Fiona and cuts right through her Aura, nearly gutting her and only sparing Robyn because he needs her alive to frame Penny. Then the lights come back on, revealing a pile of corpses littered across the floor.

\\\"Gravity\\\"
- Ironwood gets his arm trapped in a HardLight barrier by Watts, and when he tries to pull it out, the skin sizzles and burns clean off. Ironwood won\\\'t let it stop him though, and pulls the entire arm through, flaying the skin off his entire arm just to get at Watts. And while most of the actual flaying occurs offscreen, the result is shown in full.

- The Seer Grimm bursting out of Watts\\\' bag, curling in on itself, and dying, with the Grimm smoke swirling out into an image of [[BigBad Salem]]. She coolly explains that all the chaos in Mantle has been merely setting the stage for the final result, and that she is coming to Atlas personally to crush all that\\\'s left. When Ruby tries to stand up to her, Salem [[MindRape takes her happy memory of her mother]] smiling at her and distorts it into a painful one of her mother sadly slipping away (with a horrible screeching sound being used to indicate the manipulation), causing Ruby to lose control of her eyes and then collapse in tears.

- After Salem\\\'s message concludes, Ironwood gets disturbingly calm, then announces his plan to have Winter claim the Maiden power by force and use the Staff to launch Atlas into the upper atmosphere. When Blake protests that he\\\'s leaving the thousands of people still trapped in Mantle to die, he calmly answers that yes, he is, with absolutely no remorse. And the Ace Ops all go along with it, with only Marrow showing any conflict.

\\\"With Friends Like These\\\" Clover\\\'s death, being the bloodiest in the series to date.

\\\"The Enemy of Trust\\\"
- The last time we saw Cinder\\\'s Grimm arm, it ended at the middle of her left bicep. Now, it\\\'s grown all the way up to her shoulder and exposed all the muscles in it. When Winter cuts it off, Cinder wails in shock....then starts screaming and flailing like a woman possessed while a new arm quickly and painfully emerges from the stump, [[AnimateLimbs all on its own]].

- Salem arriving amidst a storm she conjured with a fleet of flying Beringels and a flying whale Grimm the size of Atlas itself. Qrow was not kidding when he said that Salem would not be worried about the Atlesians\\\' \\\"little ships\\\"....they have no chance against her Grimm, and never did.

The things I foresee people having trouble with is the many scenes demonstrating the PoliceState of Atlas, as quite a lot of fans did have a reaction in line with the requirements (it sticks with you after you\\\'re done, dreading rewatches, having a hard time after the fact), because while it may not involve jumpscares or dripping blood, the fear is just as intense even if it\\\'s more subtle. The main problems are one, that it is going to resonate more with some people than others, depending on their experiences with arrest, kidnapping, propaganda, riots, police brutality, and all the attendant horrors of living in such a place, but I don\\\'t feel like \\\"fear of a police state\\\" counts as a phobia, and two, the horror is subtle by nature so it would be easy to mistake for FridgeHorror, even when the creators show the results of such a state onscreen. So I think we better get this settled and out of the way now before volume 8 arrives, because everything indicates that Atlas is going to decide even further into totalitarianism.

\\\"The Enemy of Trust\\\" The Grimm arm having grown into Cinder\\\'s shoulder and exposing muscle. Cinder screaming and flailing through the immense pain of the arm regrowing. Salem herself arriving on a whale the size of Atlas, absolutely dwarfing their defenses and making clear they have no chance against her and never did.
