* BornLucky: The main difference with Kutaro's attempt to steal Calibrus succeeding where so many other children had failed comes down to him having an immensely lucky break, as he manages to navigate the staircase of violent death to reach the vault on the same night the Moon Bear King's forces captured the Sun Princess, Pikarina, and brought her before the tyrant. Whilst he's preoccupied with [[BalefulPolymorph transforming her]] with his magic, he forgets to lock the heavily-sealed vault door behind him, allowing Kutaro to sneak in and reach Calibrus. His good nature also allows him to be deemed worthy of wielding the legendary scissors against the Moon Bear King's forces, something Esma Potts hadn't expected, planning on using him as little more than a MacguffinDeliveryService. Ying Yang {{Lampshade}}s Kutaro's great fortune when they enter the vault.

The main difference comes down to Kutaro having [[BornLucky the good luck]] to make his attempt on the same night the Moon Bear King's forces captured Pikarina, the Sun Princess, leading to the tyrant being preoccupied transforming her into a pixie and imprisoning her, leaving the vault containing Calibrus unlocked for Kutaro to sneak in and become its chosen wielder. Even then, it's implied [[TheChooserOfTheOne Calibrus]] simply took the first opportunity it had to leave its imprisonment with a suitable wielder, rather than any grand destiny of Kutaro's, though over the course of his journey he eventually ''becomes'' the chosen hero of the moon through his deeds.

* DownerBeginning: First, Kutaro has his soul snatched from his sleeping body and forcibly dragged to the Moon realm against his will. Then he's sealed into the body of a wooden puppet in the grip of the [[PsychopathicManchild temperamental]] Moon Bear King. Then the King ''rips off his head and swallows it'' when he disbelieves the boy's frantic agreements to be his friend, tossing his still-animate headless body into the depths of his castle prison without further regard for him. (In gameplay terms, this means the player gains control of Kutaro one hit point away from dying). ''Then'' Kutaro is offered aid and guidance on controlling and using his new body, only to effectively be sent off on a suicide mission to steal a highly-valuable and prized possession of the insane tyrant who just maimed him by a witch who makes it clear [[GoYeHeroesGoAndDie she doesn't care much for his well-being]] and an old cat who makes it clear [[ThisIsGonnaSuck he has no faith in him succeeding]] in the task given [[TheChosenMany how many similar children]] she's thrown against it already. Thankfully, once Kutaro actually makes it to the vault, his luck begins to turn around and he becomes Calibrus' [[TheChosenOne chosen wielder]], enabling him to start fighting back against the Moon Bear King's forces and changing the world around him for the better.
