* Index's [[Heroic Safe Mode]] in the first arc, what with the [[Creepy Monotone]] and the general "something's freaking wrong with her" atmosphere.
* Exclusive to the light novels: Aureolus Izzard {{spoiler|Mademade a copy of himself that had his memories and thought it was him. It goes crazy when it figures out the truth, and has the power to turn anything it hits with its dart into molten gold, even people.}}
* Don't piss off a [[Reality Warper]] or he'll suspend you in the air and instantly remove all of the skin from your body. Complete with three close-ups: an arm, the beating heart, and the staring "face". Much worse in the novels, where the character's innards in mentioned scene explode across the room after WITH BLOOD VESSELS AND ORGANS STILL INTACT AND CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER. Despite this, the person happens to be still alive. And let's not get into any of the sequences that include the clone of said [[Reality Warper]], (thankfully) edited out of the anime adaption.
* Accelerator. Pretty much anything he does while in violent mode, including {{spoiler|brutally killing 10,000 teenage girls, chewing on at least one of those girls fingers, execucting a team sent after him in the most traumatizing and [[Mind Rape]] -y ways possible.}} And then you factor in his Powers which make him more or less invincible. Unless you are stronger than a nuke or happen to have an ability that trumps his and he can't adapt to (so far, only Touma), he is essentially unkillable.
* Touma {{spoiler|getting his right hand cut off}}, and then just [[Laughing Mad|laughing insanely while bleeding everywhere.]]

* The [[Tomato in the Mirror]] scene where {{spoiler|''Hyouka Kazakiri's head breaks open.''}}
* Particularly {{spoiler|during the time when Vento attacks Academy City and Aleister sends Hound Dog to retrieve Last Order.}}
* Shizuri Mugino after she {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]].}} She gains{{spoiler|[[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]}} and her already [[Yandere|freakishly]] [[Ax Crazy|crazy]] personality makes matters even worse. She even threatens to {{spoiler|burn off Rikou's virginity}}!
* The Agnese Forces {{spoiler|sticking pens into their own ears and bursting their eardrums all to just stop the main effect of [[Brown Note|Index's current spell]].}} The casual ease with which they did it really reinforces the fanatic feel of the forces and makes the danger far more real when not even '''basic survival instinct''' can stop them.
* When Sister Lucia uses her "carriage wheel shrapnel attack" on Touma. The shrapnel ''embeds into Touma's arm, then rips itself out!''
* What happened to [[Teleporters and Transporters|Musujime Awaki]] when she messed up her calculations and found part of her leg [[Tele Frag|stuck in a wall]],. removingWhen theshe pulled her leg out, she also removed the leg's skin and '''muscle'''.
* Particularly {{spoiler|during the time when Vento attacks Academy City and Aleister sends Hound Dog to retrieve Last Order.}}
* New Testament 2: {{spoiler|When the Radiosonde Castle was finally brought down, the message left on it was for Touma. This ordinarily wouldn't be anything new, but the tone it set indicated they blamed him for what they lost in WWIII and [[It's Personal]]. The message, written messily in red spray paint: ''Welcome home, hero.''}}It's worse if you consider that {{spoiler|[[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|they destroyed mountains and rivers to track him down by rearranging the planet's leylines and nearly caused an Ice Age that would destroy humanity]]. And they did it ''casually '' just to track him. God's Right Seat wasn't that bad compared to them.}}
* Shizuri Mugino after she {{spoiler|[[Came Back Wrong]].}} She gains{{spoiler| [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]}} and her already [[Yandere|freakishly]] [[Ax Crazy|crazy]] personality makes matters even worse. She even threatens to {{spoiler|burn off Rikou's virginity}}!
* The [[Tomato in the Mirror]] scene where {{spoiler|''Hyouka Kazakiri's head breaks open.''}}
* New Testament 3: {{spoiler|Cendrillon, using magic based on "[[Cinderella (novel)|Cinderella]]", can remotely mutilate the feet of anyone who has feet of a different size than hers. Worse, Accelerator explains that if she had used it on him, he wouldn't have been able to block it. The spell ignores distance and obstacles to affect the target instantly, so there are no vectors for him to redirect.}}
* The various forms of [[Body Horror]] GREMLIN inflicts on [[You Have Failed Me...|failed]] or [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|outlived]] henchmen.
* What happened to Misaka WORST, {{spoiler|being cut open.}}

* The various forms of [[Body Horror]] GREMLIN inflicts on [[You Have Failed Me...|failed]] or [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|outlived]] henchmen.
* Marian Slingeneyer's [[Body Horror|human modification magic]] and [[And I Must Scream|how she]] [[Cruel and Unusual Death|uses it]].
* New Testament Volume 6:
** Fraulein Kreutune grows a monstrously-large mouth and is driven to {{spoiler|eat Last Order's brain. Even though she doesn't want to, her biological drives force her to pursue this goal no matter what.}}
** Teitoku returns, {{spoiler|having gained the ability to make his entire body from Dark Matter. This allows him to create an endless number of clones, each one just as powerful as him.}}
* New Testament Volume 7: The villains use several insect-themed weapons. They have darts tipped with extremely high concentrations of formic acid (a major ingredient in bee venom), which causes the victim to swell up to the point they can't breathe. Even more disturbing is the swarm of literally omnivorous roaches. These have been altered by damaging their brains with radiation, making them willing to eat anything. It's almost impossible to escape them, as they can eat through most obstacles and fit through tiny gaps. They're meant as this in-universe as well, being intended to scare espers so they can't use their powers.
* New Testament Volume 8: The ending. Ollerus and Fiamma of the Right try to weaken Othinus with the Fairy spell, only for her to reveal that she could also use this to become a full Magic God. She easily disposes of them. When Touma and co. arrive, only Touma is able to confront Othinus - it's unclear what happens to his allies, which [[Nothing Is Scarier|only makes it more frightening]]. Othinus then reveals that she can create Gungnir herself, and does so... by pulling it out of her own eye! Finally, having attained her full power, she declares that she'll simply destroy the world. The accompanying illustration is simply a black page.
* New Testament Volume 9:
** The various hells that Touma is subjected to. Being hated by everyone else, to the point that your own parents denounce you on international television. Having your entire identity stolen by someone else, with none of your friends recognising you. Being buried alive and slowly decomposing, while remaining conscious. Being adrift in space, helpless and alone. Or simply getting crushed by an overwhelming force, with no hope of resisting.
** The "Omega World" deserves a paragraph all to itself. An entirely perfect world, where everyone is happy, in defiance of all logic and reason. Everyone except Touma himself, who isn't remembered by anyone. Othinus claims that this world will only last if Touma kills himself. And yet he can't bring himself to fight against it - and who would?
