* DisproportionateRetribution: Date is given an extra motivation for his desire to TakeOverTheWorld and brutally subjugate all humans beneath his heel- he was made fun of in the past and called a nerdy geek, so he [[TheyCalledMeMad desires revenge on them]].
* FightingFromTheInside: Quote in chapter 4 starts resisting Date and trying to stop him from killing Curly.



* GoodParents: Momorin is shown to be a loving mother throughout, as she worries about Kazuma me can somehow tell when something bad has happened to Sue (though [[spoiler:she is unaware of [[CruelAndUnusualDeath what exactly happened]]]]):
-->"My mothers intuition is acting up like crazy, Itoh. I'm afraid something terrible might have happened to Sue. It's only a feeling I have, but I've learnt to trust my feelings a lot over the years."



* MustHaveCaffeine: Itoh is noted to love coffee and is introduced brewing a batch.
-->Itoh looked up from the very weakly brewed coffee that he had made over the fire. His supplies were running pitifully low and this thin drink was the best that he could manage. Even though he was now a mimiga, his love for coffee had not dwindled.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Minor example; Dr. Date was already pure evil in canon, but the fic makes him an [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil attempted rapist]] as well.
* AttemptedRape: Date, in Quote's body, tries to assault [[RobotGirl Curly Brace]], going as far as to grope her breasts and talk about how much he will enjoy violating her.


Added DiffLines:

* DemonicPossession: The premise of the fic is that Date does this to Quote, slamming his SoulJar into Quote and overriding all his commands.
* MindRape: Date's DemonicPossession of Quote, in which he overrides Quote's mental computer system. The process is described as horrifically painful. He later takes joy in psychologically tormenting Quote.
* SecondLawMyAss: Quote, being unfamiliar with the three laws, is able to kill Date's body with no problem. Curly doesn't have it so easy due to knowing the laws, but [[LoopholeAbuse finds a way around it]].
