** "[http://www.mangareader.net/111-3669-17/20th-century-boys/chapter-30.html We're friends, right?"]
** While also listed as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]], this troper was a bit disturbed by the scene where the engineer is trying to explain the mecha problems. All these full-grown adults are coming up with ideas for a giant robot ''designed to kill thousands of people at the very least'' like little boys playing a game. There are similar scenes later on that have the same effect for this troper.
*** Very well played [[Deliberate Values Dissonance]] on Urasawa's part, I'd dare say.
** The events that transpired in {{spoiler|the science room}} also qualify, both in story and out.
** The entirety of Koizumi's stay at "Friend Land" tapped directly into the a person's small, natural measure of paranoia very effectively. The "Bonus Level" arc was especially creepy.
*** [[Madness Mantra|Help me help me help me help me....]][[Go Mad
** The few moments where Urasawa drew mysterious characters in a stylized ghostly art-style. Specifically {{spoiler|Proffesor Shikishima's daughter in 21st Century Boys when she was shown in her creepy nurse outfit with those cold dead eyes.}}
** Koizumi being forced to stay at {{spoiler|Sadakiyo's}} house while he puts on his best [[Psycho|Norman Bates]] impression.
* [[Nightmare Retardant]]: A mob of insane cultists swarming Kenji's shop to kidnap Kanna: Terrifying. A mob of insane cultists swarming Kenji's shop to kidnap Kanna while chanting "[[Destiny's Child]]": a little goofier for western audiences.
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: This series is the ''United Arab Emirates'' of Paranoia Fuel.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Many instances, but one of the most memorable is when we first see Kenji sing [[Crowning Music of Awesome|his song]]. Also, [[The Woobie|poor, poor]] {{spoiler|Sadakiyo}}.
