God: Alright, you'll just be the best, okay? At everything! Magic, fighting, girls, they're a skill now, YOU'LL BE SET!! FOR LIFE!! ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO FOR YOU, YOUR HIGHNESS?!

In Another World With My Smartphone Abridged is an Abridged Series of In Another World with My Smartphone, made by Something Witty Entertainment.The premise is mostly the same as the original, with the protagonist Toya Mochizuki being given superpowers Reincarnate in Another World by God as an apology for killing him, only this time Toya (and almost everyone else) is a much bigger dick than in canon, and causes all sorts of mayhem in this new world with his newfound abilities (and his smartphone, which God also allowed him to keep).

The show abridges the first two episodes of the manga, and it currently serves as a standalone episode, differing from SWE's other notable abridged series, which stems from the writers' complete disdain for the source material.

The first (and to date, only) episode premiered on their Twitch channel on March 29th 2023, and remained a Patreon exclusive until it was released on YouTube on August 18th 2023.


Contains examples of:

    open/close all folders 

    A to G 
  • Abnormal Allergy: Sushi' and Liam's soldiers have a literal allergy to fighting.
    Toya: I have so many questions for you.
  • Abusive Parents:
    • Duke Ortlinde pimps out Sushi to Toya, and constantly demeans her for being a woman, and that's not even getting into the Parental Incest. Even Toya is disgusted.
      Duke: Do you wanna break a piece off young Sushi here?
      Sushi: Break a piece of me. Do it.
      Toya: [Visibly creeped out] ...I think I'm good...
    • While he seems worried for Ellen's safety, it comes after this exchange with Sushi.
      Duke: Sushi, how is Ellen doing today?
      Sushi Not so well, father. She's seen better days
      Duke: HAH!! Sorry, It’s funny ‘cause she’s blind.
  • Adapted Out: Despite being included on the intro song, Yumina, Leen, Kohaku, and Paula don't appear in the episode proper. Justified, as Something Witty Entertainment only planned to abridge the first two episodes.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: And how. Everyone in the new world is either a murderer (implied or otherwise) or an insane pervert (with the duke being an unapologetic Straw Misogynist), and Touya is a callous sociopath with Snake Oil Salesman vives. Even God killed Touya for fun instead of the event being an accident caused by negligence. The only exceptions are the actual antagonists (meaning the thugs and guards who harass the girls in the original), who get the Adaptational Nice Guy treatment instead.
  • Adaptational Sympathy: The two thugs who tried to rob Elze and Linze. They're too naïve and ineffectual to be hated, and they were a couple on top of that. Alas, they both get brutally murdered by Toya and Elze, instead of getting knocked out like in canon.
  • Adaptational Wimp:
  • Adaptational Villainy:
    • Other than being a complete jackass, Toya is now an unrepentant murderer who would do anything for wealth and fame. His original counterpart was not only hesitant to murder, but he also had a genuine sense of justice that this version of him would only laugh at.
    • While still willing to marry his underage daughter to Touya in canon, duke Ortlinde only did so at her request (not to mention that it was to avoid an unwanted Arranged Marriage to someone else). Here, he pimps her out to strangers in exchange for favors, and is a much bigger creep about it to boot, not to mention he had a child with her.
  • Adaptation Relationship Overhaul:
    • Here, there's no Harem to be found, and the girls' reactions to toya range from tolerating him to hating his guts. Sushi does offer sexual favors to him, but he is not interested in "a child bride".
    • Ellen is now the duke's daughter instead of his wife, and Sushi (his canon daughter) is her mother. Yeah...
  • Affably Evil: Everyone in the new world is jarringly polite and patient with Toya, while being extremely creepy and used to murder. Ironically, the grumpiest character (Elze), also happens to be the sanest one.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Linze always calls Toya "Toy", and this is before he starts using nicknames himself.
  • Angst? What Angst?: invoked
    • When God awkwardly tells Toya of his unprecedented demise, Toya takes it rather well, even apparently feigning surprise. God initially believes it's coping mechanism, but Toya soon reveals how much of an Opportunistic Bastard he is.
    • Yae gets over her friends' gruesome deaths pretty quickly, even befriending their murderer seconds after meeting him.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Gregg and Thomas (the two thugs who tried to rob Linze and Elze), were just about to be engaged when Toya destroyed the former's grandmother's diamond antler, and then him and Elze kill them both.
  • Apathetic Citizens: Since murder is part of the new worlds' culture, even its nicest inhabitants don't blink at murder. Yae is the biggest example.
  • Asshole Victim: Lets just say that if it weren't for the fact that his death was unprecedented and unjust, Toya would not be seeing the realm of Heaven, minimalist as it was.
  • The Atoner: God tries to be this to Toya after killing him, but the latter is such an asshole that he soon loses sympathy.
  • A Chat with Satan: Provided he wasn't bluffing, Toya has one over the phone in front of God. The latter even lampshades the weirdness of the situation.
    Toya: Lucy! Heyyy!
    God: Luc- ARE YOU CALLING SATAN?
    Toya: His friends call him Lucy.
    God: HOW DO YOU HAVE HIS NUMBER?! I— I DON’T EVEN HAVE THAT NUMBER!! You're bluffing.
  • Big Bad: The duke doesn't particularly affect Toya's journey, but his atrocities and blatantly misogynist demeanor make him worse than even him, and he's the villain with the most power that Toya encounters.
  • Big "NO!": Toya lets out a huge one when he realizes just how messed up the Duke's family tree is.
  • Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Belfast family tree has "creepily chuckling when hugging a family member" as a Shared Family Quirk. It only gets worse from there.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Toya initially behaves like a rather oblivious Mormon, which visibly confuses God as he delivers the news of his demise to him. Then God offers him some form of compensation and he asks to be God...
  • Bittersweet Ending: Toya is free to cause more mayhem, but he makes sure to use his powers to make at least some good in the new world.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: Everyone in the new world seems to be genuinely pleasant and honest, but their moral framework is so utterly broken that Toya comes across as the Straight Man in comparison.
  • Boring, but Practical: Headphone jacks, according to Toya.
    Toya: Does [the future smartphone] have a headphone jack?
    God: IT PIPES MUSIC DIRECTLY INTO YOUR BRAIN!
    Toya: I’d rather have a headphone jack…
  • Butt-Monkey: Elze is put through the wringer by Toya the moment the two encounter each other, on account on being the Only Sane Woman of the bunch.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: From the moment he arrives at the new world, Toya sees himself as this, though it's eventually Downplayed, as there are some lines he won't cross.
  • Chekhov's Gun: To boast about his achievement, God claims that the future smartphone has a feature that pipes music directly into the user's brain, and throws a fit when Toya isn't impressed. This later turns out to be incredibly useful when Toya learns that it also serves as an instant translator that translates speech directly into his brain.
  • Contrived Coincidence: Like in canon, the first person Toya encounters after arriving at the new world happens to be an eccentric millionaire who gives him a lot of cash in exchange for his clothes.
  • Crapsack World: The "better world" Toya gets reincarnated into is a complete dystopia where murder is a national pastime.
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: From the moment he meets her, it's clear to Toya that Linze is... not all there in the head. This makes her an easy target for manipulation.
  • Cloud Cuckoolanders Minder: Elze seems to be this to Linze, trying (and failing) to keep her from telling strangers about their guild or their magic tricks.
  • Cute and Psycho: Linze is a bubbly and upbeat girl who would do anything for tea, but even Toya is creeped out by her.
  • Darker and Edgier: The original anime's main conflict for the second episode was curing the blindness of the duchess. Here, that event is completely overshadowed by the Duke's Parental Incest and Toya's sociopathy. There are also a lot more deaths, but they're all played for Black Comedy.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Toya's tongue is very sharp, and he puts it to full use when stranded in the new world.
    Toya: [after accidentally killing Thomas with a superpowered punch] Oohhh… that did not sound good. Say, your bones wouldn’t happen to be stronger than diamonds, would they?
  • Death by Adaptation:
    • When the two thugs who attack Linze and Elze are defeated, a Sickening "Crunch!" is heard both times. Thomas is at least confirmed to have been killed, as Toya hit him with a diamond-shattering elbow drop.
    • Yae's attackers from the original anime (now adapted into her friends) are also killed by Toya while he was testing his powers.
    • It's all but stated that the Duke of Belfast was killed when Toya torched his manor.
  • Deadly Prank: God's joke on Toya involving lightning.
  • Disappointed in You: God after Mike agrees to make Toya a millionaire in exchange for his clothes.
    God: YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS, MIKE!!!
  • Dishing Out Dirt: Toya tests his new power "blinding sand" on Yae's friends. It skins their faces right off.
  • Dirty Kid: Since Parental Incest and paedophilia is commonplace at the Duke's manor, nine-year-old Sushi asks (or orders) Toya to break a piece of her as thanks for saving her daughter.
  • Do Wrong, Right: While being robbed, Elze gives her ineffectual robbers some advice on how to earn money in easier ways, even pointing out how useless their "diamond stabbing implement" is.
  • Drink-Based Characterization: Subverted with the bubbly, feminine, and hyperactive Linze, who has a crippling addiction to tea of all beverages.
  • Dude, Where's My Respect?: God on multiple occasions when Toya makes a fool of him. Specific examples are when he kisses phone Satan in front of him, and again when he puts him on speakerphone while on the new world.
  • Dull Surprise: Toya's initial reaction when God tells him about his demise, which causes God to do a double take.
  • Dysfunction Junction: Toya's team is composed by a narcissistic asshole, a cynical pragmatist, her hyperactive sister, and a stoical Fair-Weather Friend.
  • Easily Forgiven: Played for Laughs with Yae and Toya.
    Yae: You done killed all my friends back there. You know what that means, don’tcha? Means I’ll be needin’ some new friends.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: Toya has one for every girl he recruits.
    • For Linze, it's either "muffin" or "pumpkin".
    • Elze has several, which change depending on Toya's mood. The most common ones are "long hair", "clown nose", and the latest one, "thunder thighs".
    • Yae initially had "One Bow Two Bow Red Bow Blue Bow" as a default, but Toya eventually allowed her to keep her name out of respect.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
    • Satan's son Damien is in preschool, and his father is very proud of him.
    • Gregg and Thomas were considerably more than just partners in crime, and the former even uses their latest robbery to propose to the latter.
    • Zig-Zagged with the Duke, who is worried for his daughters' safety, while at the same time seeing them as inherently weak beings for being female, cracking a joke at the blind Ellen's expense, and pimping Sushi out to Toya as compensation for saving her (she's happy to do it, at least), and that's not even getting into the Parental Incest...
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Toya is a callous jerk and a sociopath, but he does not want "a child bride". If his conversation with Mike is any indication, he's disgusted with perverts in general.
  • Eviler than Thou: The moment he's introduced, the Duke shows himself to be an even worse person than Toya, prompting the latter to burn his manor down after their brunch.
  • Evil Is Hammy: The Duke hams up all of his lines like an opera singer.
  • Evil Is Petty: Toya straight up calls himself "petty as well as powerful" at one point.
  • Evil Laugh: Toya lets out one when Elze suggests the idea of living modestly before explaining his "helicarrier dreams" to her.
  • Failed a Spot Check: God intentionally sent Toya to a world where everyone spoke "a mix of Klingon, Dothraki and only the clicking parts Dahalo, an endangered South Cushitic language of Kenya." knowing that Toya would die without being able to communicate, since he only had his futuristic smartphone to aid him. It didn't occur to him that said smartphone had a feature that acted as an instant translator in Toya's head, that he himself included.
    Toya: Wow, that's a cool feature. Thanks God.
    God: WHY?! WHY DID I MAKE IT DO THAT?!
  • Four-Philosophy Ensemble: Toya's group is a more extreme and troubled version of this, which isn't helped by the contrast in values between worlds.
    • Toya (the Realist). He's The Leader of the group, and has the social skills and ambition to boot. While he would otherwise be more suited to the role of the Apathetic due to being a Sociopathic Hero, the new world's antics make him this by default, serving as the voice of reason when dealing with nutjobs like Mike or the duke.
    • Elze (The Cynic). She goes along with whatever Toya says but maintains a hostile and cautious demeanor around him due to his antagonism, and is usually the most logical and pragmatic member of the team, being extremely critical of the world around her (though being accustomed to their odd pastimes and tradition).
    • Linze (The Optimist). The Pollyanna of the group, and also somewhat of an airhead, with a blind faith in Toya and a relentless obsession for tea.
    • Yae (The Apathetic). Unapologetically aloof and lacking empathy, just along for the fun of it, lacks her teammates' drive, and is the most mysterious and uninvolved member of the team, and with a very bizarre Blue-and-Orange Morality.
  • A God Am I: Toya's only wish to God as compensation for being killed is to be a god himself. God refuses, but gives him the next best him: Reincarnation in another world with a full set of skills including magic, fighting, and girls.
  • Gold Digger: While initially unwilling to have him on the guild, Elze immediately joins Toya when he reveals his secret stash of many golden coins.
  • Greater-Scope Villain: God kickstarted the entire chaos by killing Toya for kicks, and then being blackmailed into reincarnating him (with powers) in another world he didn't care about, causing Toya to plan to carry out his "Big Time Helicarrier dreams" there instead.
  • Greed: When informed that his bag of gold could suffice for a modest living, Toya laughs for about ten seconds at the thought that he would even entertain such an idea before explaining his big time dreams to the twins. He later uses his newfound magic spells to gain even more money, regardless of where it comes from.

     H to Y 
  • Hell of a Heaven: Heaven is portrayed as a five by five platform surrounded by clouds, with all the harps being in storage, and most penthouses being full. Toya initially pretends to be impressed, but he quickly drops it after revealing his true colors.
  • Heroic Comedic Sociopath: Almost everyone could count. Toya is a greedy Opportunistic Bastard, God is a Deadly Prankster, and the new world is a dystopia where casual murder and paedophilia are commonplace.
  • Horrible Judge of Character: Yae says that Toya "seems like a stand-up guy". This is a day after he murdered all her friends to test his new powers.
  • Incurable Cough of Death: Since he was healed before having the lizard junk lodged inside his chest removed, Liam now has a gross cough that pops up whenever he speaks.
  • Insult Backfire:
    • When God calls Satan a "son of a bitch":
      Toya: Isn't he your son?
    • And again when he calls Toya "awful".
      Toya: Well, I was made in your image, sir.
  • I Love the Dead: Mike only gains interest in Toya when he hears the words "Tombstone fucker", thinking he was referring to him.
  • Jerkass Gods: God starts off the conflict of the story by killing Toya with lighting because he thought it would be funny.
  • Jerkass: Toya, full stop. When God calls you "a sack of shit", you probably are one.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: Toya is right to call out God for killing him for no reason and then justifying it.
  • Jerkass Gods: God's portrayal here is far from idealistic. In fact, the population of Earth is lucky he hasn't killed all of them for shits and giggles.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Initially during his brunch with the Duke, Toya seems uncomfortable with accepting tax money from the Duke's people, saying that he's never felt bad about receiving money before, before bluntly quipping "so why start now?".
  • Keet: Linze is always very hyperactive, and her introduction to tea only makes things worse.
  • Killed Offscreen: Since there are no deaths in the original anime's first two episodes (other than Toya, who reincarnates anyway), most of this episode's deaths are offscreen. The only exception is Thomas, who is elbowed in the back by Toya.
  • Kill It with Fire: What Toya presumably did to the Duke and his servants at the end of the episode.
  • Like Father, Like Daughter: Sushi lets out the same creepy chuckle as her father when hugging her daughter Ellen, implying she's also in a sexual relationship with her.
  • Loan Shark: Since Elze and Linze don't have any money, Thomas' idea to rob them is to offer them a high interest loan and then steal it from them the next day.
  • Loose Lips:
    • Toya namedrops this trope when blackmailing God with telling Satan about how the former killed him.
    • Linze tells Toya about her' and her sister's league shortly after meeting him, and also spills all about the different types of magic just a few hours later, which makes the guy almost invincible.
  • Moment Killer: Toya ruins the engagement of Gregg and Thomas by destroying the latter's diamond antler, and killing the former. Elze makes sure that they're together in death after the fact.
  • Mood Dissonance: Toya reacts to the news of his death with some dissonant apathy, even cracking a few jokes. Then God asks him for compensation...
  • Motor Mouth: Linze, full stop. It doesn't help that the information that comes out of her mouth is usually supposed to be confidential.
  • Nice Guy: Of all characters to be this, it's tombstone-fucking, clothes-smelling Mike "the Millionaire" who fits the bill the best. He politely asks for Toya's clothes in exchange for many golden coins, is bluntly honest about his intentions with his clothes, and takes the latter's insults in stride, even calling him as his new best friend.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: God sending Toya to the world with powers and his smartphone was done with the goal of getting him out of heaven, but ended up putting the new world in jeopardy as Toya would then proclaim himself as the new world's god.
  • Nominal Hero: For the guy who was supposed to cure cancer on Earth, Toya has little to no redeeming qualities. Despite this, he still engages in mild heroism on the new world, targeting only what he thinks are bad people (though showing no empathy when they turn out to be innocents), and burning down the Duke's manor at the end of the episode.
  • Non-Action Guy: The guards at Belfast. Justified, as they're allergic to fighting.
    Guard: There’s no time! The mistress’ butler is dying, and—
    Toya: What if I wanted there to be more time?
    Guard: Well, I wouldn’t fight you on it of course.
  • Not So Stoic: Toya usually doesn't show much reaction, even when being told of his unprecedented demise, but he loses it at the Duke's treatment of the women in his castle.
  • "No. Just… No" Reaction: Toya when the Duke tells him that Sushi can be both his daughter and his wife.
    Toya: NO! THAT'S THE WORST AWNSWER!!!
  • Only Sane Woman: Elze is the closest thing to a sane person that Toya encounters, and she's put through the wringer because of this.
  • Oh, Crap!: God when he realizes Toya was supposed to cure cancer before he killed him unprecedently.
  • Opportunistic Bastard: Toya stumbles across every beneficial encounter he has, and takes advantage of Every. Single. One.
  • Pædo Hunt: After learning of the Duke's unsavory customs, Toya burns his mansion to the ground, presumably killing all its inhabitants as well.
  • Parental Incest: The Duke has this relationship with Sushi, and it's heavily implied that both him and Sushi have it with Ellen as well.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: If Toya is right about something, it's that he did "a lot of good" for the world when he torched the Duke's castle, with him presumably inside it.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • Toya inviting the twins to some tea after finding out that Linze hadn't tried it before (even if it ends with her becoming addicted to it).
      Toya: Oh. You poor deprived child. Why don’t I teach you the magic of tea, say... over tea?
    • He also believed Yae was being harassed when he killed his friends with sand, though the revelation that they were her friends doesn't seem to faze him at all. He also allows Yae to keep her name after she stands up to him.
    • While he's the reason Liam got hurt in the first place, he also uses the recovery spell to heal him back to life (even though he forgot to remove the lizard junk that was lodged inside his chest, leaving him with an Incurable Cough of Death).
  • Politically Correct Villain: Toya might be a sociopathic asshole, but he hates sexism. He also doesn't discriminate Yae for her masculine voice.
  • Politically Incorrect Villain: As shown above and below, The Duke's treatment of the women in "his explicitly sexual manor" goes beyond Deliberate Values Dissonance.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Toya certainly seems to think so, and sets the duke's manor on fire after learning of his "traditions".
  • Reflectionless Useless Eyes: Ellen before she's cured by Toya literally slapping a recovery spell on the face.
  • Rich Bastard: Toya describes his life on Earth as "owning a fleet of conjoined helicarriers, each with its own department of luxury, encased in gold and cruising above the earth armed with enough super-science to make Isaac Asimov bust a proverbial nut". Despite being reincarnated in a new world with nothing but his phone, he quickly earns himself "many golden coins" by selling his clothes to a perverted millionaire. He also ends the episode earning a platinum sphere and loads of tax money from the Duke.
  • Sadist: God must be one if his idea of a joke was to kill (what he thought was) an innocent person with lighting while he was on the toilet. When Toya rightfully calls him out on it, God accuses him of not having a sense of humor.
  • Screw the Rules, I Make Them!:
    • Justified with God, as he's, well, God.
      God: IT PIPES MUSIC DIRECTLY INTO YOUR BRAIN!
      Toya: I’d rather have a headphone jack…
      FINE! IT CAN DO BOTH NOW! Cause you’re picky...
    • Toya is clearly trying to invoke this with his newfound superhuman strength and his instant knowledge of all the magic, with mixed results.
      Elze [Regarding Yae] we can’t just pick up drifters off the street.
      Toya: I’m sorry, did you suggest that I can’t do something? Through what mechanism do you think you can stop me? You know what, I’m intrigued. [To Yae] Congratulations, you’re hired.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: When the Duke and his maids start singing "would you like a child bride?" to Toya, he rallies his team and leaves in a hurry, but not before torching the place on his way out.
  • Shock and Awe: How God kills Toya in the beginning.
  • Skewed Priorities: The first thing Toya says when meeting God (other than compliment the five by five platform that is Heaven) is to ask for a harp. God clearly didn't expect that.
    God: Oh. They’re in storage.
  • Small Parent, Huge Child: Sushi looks and behaves like the 9-year-old she is, but her daughter Ellen looks and speaks like a grown woman. Lampshaded by Toya.
    Toya: “Ellen” sure does look like a 30-year-old woman.
    Duke: Doesn’t she? Came out the womb like that. Nearly split Sushi in half, she did.
  • Straw Misogynist: Duke Ortlinde... doesn't like women very much, to say the least.
    Duke: So you’re sure that your friends can’t sit with us?
    Toya: No. They need to know their place.
    Duke: Oh good, I didn’t want to say anything, but I do hate all women. Glad to meet a like-minded individual.
    Toya: No, I just mean they’re stupid and annoying—
    Duke: Yes, women are stupid and annoying.
    Toya: No, I just mean THOSE women specifically—
    Duke: Yes, THOSE WOMEN.
    Toya: YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER!
  • Snake Oil Salesman: Toya gives off this vibe when interacting with other people
    Toya: You don’t think big enough! Not like me. I got big-time dreams. Helicarrier dreams. And step numero uno to achieving those dreams is learning magic!
  • Spell My Name With An S: In the script for the episode, Touya is referred to as "Toya" and Sushie is referred to as "Sushi".
  • State The Simple Solution: After Toya tells Yae that he has to think about her nickname before she joins his guild:
    Yae: Or you can just call me "Yae".
  • Take That!: The entire first episode is one to its source material. It was somewhat foreshadowed in the SWE 10th Anniversary SAOA Marathon Extravaganza!!! when Something Witty explained that despite their numerous jabs at SAO in its abridged series, they did enjoy the anime.
    Hayabusa449: We'll talk later about what we do with shows we don't like.
  • Teens Are Monsters: 15-year-old Toya is a manipulative sociopath with no regard for the life in the new world.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Elze is the only one of the girls to see just how much of an asshole Toya is, but sticks with him regardless because her sister feels indebted to him (and because he has many golden coins).
  • Tragic Keepsake: Gregg's diamond antler, given to him by his grandmother. He promised her that he would give it to his would-be bride, so he hasn't sold it despite being in dire need for money. After Elze calls him out on it, he tries to marry his fellow robber Thomas, but Toya destroys the antler before he's able to answer.
  • Translator Microbes: Toya's smartphone has a feature that translates all foreign speech directly to his brain.
  • Trapped in Another World: A Darker and Edgier version of this, with Toya being a complete Sociopathic Hero surrounded by people that are no better than him in a Crapsack World.
  • The Sociopath: When he was an ordinary human, Toya was charming enough to deceive even God himself, but once he's given powers, he drops his Mask of Sanity and embraces his status as a Jerkass God, seeing people in the new world as mere test subjects or sources of entertainment, while being opportunistically detecting and exploiting their weaknesses for his own benefit.
  • Trademark Favorite Drink: For Linze: Sell tea. To me. Me tea. All the tea. Tea time is the me time. For tea.
  • Uncertain Doom: While the Duke's manor burns to the ground at the end of the chapter, it's uncertain whether the Duke, Sushi, Liam, or the maids died in the fire, though it's implied Toya killed at least the former.
  • Undying Loyalty: Linze feels this way towards Toya because he introduced her to tea.
  • Undignified Death: Toya was killed via one to five lightning bolts while sitting on the toilet.
    God: [defensive] IT WAS FUNNY!
  • Unintentionally Karmic: God's killing of Toya was done at random, but (other than the fact that he would've gone on to cure cancer) it couldn't have happened to a worse guy.
  • Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Toya has an even worse case of this than Kirito or Bakugou, owning to a heavy dose of Adaptational Villainy.
  • Villainous Incest: The Duke had his youngest daughter with his eldest daughter. Who is 9.
  • Villain Respect: Played for Laughs when Yae bluntly refuses to be given a nickname:
    Toya: It took real guts to stand up to me like you just did. You get to keep your name.
    Elze: WHY DOES SHE GET TO KEEP HER NAME?
    Toya: Because I am petty as well as powerful, and fickle as I am fine.
    Elze: This is bullshit. You’re bullshit.
    Toya: You’re not wrong.
  • Villain Song: Would you like a child bride?
    Toya: Why did you think singing it would make it better?!
    Duke: Didn't it? I must've been off-key.
  • Villain Protagonist: Like in canon, Toya is the main focus of the story. Unlike in canon, he spreads more misery in the new world than happiness.
  • Vocal Dissonance: Yae is an anime girl with the deep and gravelly voice of a hoarse cowboy.
  • Wham Line: From the 30-year-old-looking woman to the 9-year-old girl:
    Mother?
  • Womanchild: Linze seems to be about Toya's age, but she behaves like a hyperactive 8-year-old. She only gets worse after being exposed to tea.
  • World of Jerkass: Well, World of "Affably Evil folk", but still applies. It's more than clear that God specifically chose that world for this very reason.
  • You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: After being exposed to the Belfast royal family's customs, Toya is so utterly shocked and horrified that he calls Linze by her proper name instead of using one of his nicknames.
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!:
    • God at several points in the story, mostly flabbergasted by Toya's unapologetically dickish behavior.
    • Elze when Toya, after calling her and her sister all sorts of Embarrassing Nicknames, allows Yae to keep her name.
