This work contains examples of:

• Affably Evil: Johan is this, in contrast to his Faux Affably Evil canon persona.

• All Women Love Shoes: Eva really likes shoes, and will gladly tell you so.
• Anachronism Stew: Played for laughs with Heinrich who brings up things like Facebook, Wikipedia, and Windows 95, with Tenma pointing out that none of that exists yet.
• Comedic Sociopathy: Well, naturally.
• Crazy-Prepared: Lunge thinks he's this, but he's really just crazy.
• Department of Redundancy Department: A Running Gag:
  • Accusing Tenma of responsibility for Heinemann's death:
  Lunge: "I think you murdered him to death."
  • Just before he's murdered:
  Adolf Junkers: "[Johan]'s crazy! His head is full of the madness, of being insane!"
  • And the Simpsons Shout-Out:
  "How's that curse I cursed you with, cursed-y?"
• Evil Feels Good: Johan likes killing. It makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
• Gypsy Curse: The source of all Tenma's misfortunes, apparently.
• Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: Johan's game of 20 Questions with Junkers:
  "If you can guess the name of the famous person I'm thinking of, I promise, I'll kill you quickly. If not, I'll still kill you quickly, because I'm a nice guy".
• Literal-Minded: Tenma.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: At the start of the series, Lunge has just helped bring down the infamous neo-Nazi transgender Satan-worshippers.

  Lunge: "Detective? Bring me a grapefruit, a rubber duck... and a tuning fork!"
  Detective: "What key, sir?"
  Lunge: "F"
  Detective: "But sir, that's even worse than waterboarding!"
• Noodle Incident:
  Eva: "I'm sure you've... heard the rumours."

  Eva: "Some parts of it are."
