* CatharticCrying: In Chapter 58, Ren goes to confess to Quartz and Saffron's parents that he killed Quartz and Lord Devil had replaced him with a copy to negotiate with Saff. However, as he confesses, the rock demons reveal they knew already knew and explain they forgive Ren, as they were aware of the nature of the tournament and had accepted that their sons might not return. They then point out Ren is just as much a victim of Lord Devil's schemes and Saff's mom gives the boy a hug, causing him to burst into tears.

* RealityEnsues: Ren has never been in a fight in his life before entering Hell, and doesn't really have access to the magical abilities available to most demons. As such, in contrast to Sorian, who's able to OneHitKill most of her opponents, Ren spends his first match running around the arena and avoiding his opponent's attacks, and wins by the skin of his teeth.
** As it turns out, the last human that was stuck in Hell became a famed warrior in his struggles as he was constantly hunted by many demons. Unlike Ren though, he didn't have aid from the Hell's Kitchen, and never really mastered [[KiManipulation Seel]] according to Sorian. [[spoiler: And according to Sorian, he ultimately died in a fight against a blood demon hunting him, because swords and skills just couldn't measure up to blood magic.]]

** Ren is the soft-hearted NiceGuy who before entering Hell, had never been in any fights, let alone killed people, and aside from a few martial arts classes, never really knew how to fight. Contrast with his partner, Sorian, a BloodKnight and ProudWarriorRaceGirl who's lived her entire life in Hell, and is quickly famed for how quickly she can kill tournament monsters in a matter of minutes.
** Lord Devil is a polite and cheerful demon, who nevertheless acknowledges he has no conscience to speak of, and manipulates Ren and sends challenges on his way for, aside from fulfilling the Hell's Kitchen's requests, little more than for entertainment. Compare to his servant, Ramia, a strict, harsh demon, who's much more responsible and concerned about her precarious situation than her master is, and is legitimately concerned for Ren's well being even if she'll never admit to it.
