* FightingClown: Chimi fights by blowing squid into his enemies from a pipe and can summon ugly girls across the planet to do his bidding, which is somehow incredibly effective.
* {{Gonk}}: The ugly girls who Okaka laughs at and who are used as summons by Chimi are all comically unattractive or not quite human at all. Okaka's obsession with laughing at them comes from when a hideously ugly nurse saved his life as a baby by making him laugh when he was getting asphyxiated from an obstructed throat.



* NoSocialSkills: Throughout the school Okaka is known as a guy that laughs at ugly girls.

* AlienInvasion: The spirit body aliens possess human bodies to build gates on Earth, with the intent of eventually taking over the world. However, for the King this is just a means to the end of making all the invaders, who are all in their teens, into his evil super soldiers.



* BigBad: The King of the Spirit World, who sees the children he sent into the human world as pawns to eradicate mankind and take over Earth.



* CannibalismSuperpower: Eisa Hoisa somehow ate a spirit body who was about to possess him and acquired its fire powers. After learning about this, Okaka lures Chimi into fighting and devouring a crab monster but the results aren't seen because of the series' cancellation.



* {{Expy}}: Okaka and Vector's appearances are clearly designed after Kiyomaro and Gash's from Raiku's ''Manga/ZatchBell'' series. Okaka does also act like Kiyomaro as a resourceful JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but Vector is more of a tool than a proper character throughout the series.



* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Both Nita and Okaka starts off the serie being completely alone and without friends, but for different reasons. Nita needs to uphold TheMasquerade and keeps to himself, so as to not endanger the people around him. Okaka on the other hand, while [[TheAce being naturally talented]] and coming from a rich family,has trouble making friends because his eccentric behavior makes him come off as a horrible guy.

* BrainsAndBrawn: Subverted with Okaka and Nita. Initially Okaka seems like the BigGuy, who fights against the spirit beings with [[ImprobableWeapon desk and chairs]] through his sheer physical prowess, while Nita fights by shooting [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation magical lances that he creates out of thin air]]. It's quickly revealed that Okaka's fighting style is actually based on his aptitude with puzzles and is quite smart, [[BunnyEarsLawyer if eccentric]]. Nita's battle strategy on the other hand, basically boils down to keep on throwing lances at his opponent until he's able to hit them.

Okaka and the school's weirdness meet eachother head on when he sees a late student, Takano, being chased by a giant lizard monster. A fellow student, Nitta, attempts to take down the monster, but is ultimately beaten down. Okaka manages to save both of them though, using his prowess with puzzles to trap the monster in a cage of desks, which pins it down long enough for Nitta to destroy it.
