YMMV / In Another World With My Smartphone Abridged

• Cant Unhear It: Like in My Hero Academia: Abridged, YamatoSFX's voice cameo as Thomas was instantly picked up by viewers and inevitably led to comparisons with Kirito.
• Catharsis Factor: Toya burning down the duke’s manor at the end, considering how unapologetically awful he was. Whether or not he died, it’s a breath of fresh air after seeing all the creeps in the new world get the better of Toya.
• Crosses the Line Twice: The entire first episode is one crossing of the line after the other. Lets just say that a God who killed a man with lightning while he was on the toilet for a joke happens to be the sanest character in the entirety of the episode.
  • Duke Ortlinde in particular is a walking generator of these moments, culminating in his offscreen Villain Song Would you like a child bride?.
  • Yae reacting to having all of her friends brutally murdered by quipping that she now needs some new friends, and joining the gang that murdered them.
    Yae: Y’all got an openin’? I had references, but uh. Yeah.
• Genius Bonus: Dahalo, the "endangered South Cushitic language of Kenya" that God partially based the other world's language on (just to make things difficult), is not only real, it's notable for being one of the few languages outside southern Africa to use clicks.
• Memetic Mutation: Those women...^ExplanationThe duke says this to Toya when the latter tries to clarify that he's not a misogynist, he just hates "those women specifically" (referring to his companions). The duke believes this to be a façade, and plays along by saying this line. Used ironically as a response to perceived sexist arguments.
• Misaimed Fandom: During a stream, SWE talked about how they got a flag for hate speech during a short featuring the duke, since the lack of context made some people believe that they agreed with his statements about "how stupid and annoying women are". Hayabusa449 then pointed out how it still made no sense to reach that conclusion since it was still clear in the video that the main character was horrified by him.
• Memetic Psychopath: Everyone save for Elze counts, namely Linze, Mike, Yae, God, and especially The Duke, though Toya gets the crown for being the Heroic Comedic Sociopath God Wannabe to the new world.
• Moral Event Horizon: The duke was already threading the line with his Parental Incest (and his treatment of women in general), but the moment Toya considers him not worth dealing with is when he offers up his oldest daughter Sushi to him as a child bride in exchange for a favor, since he was out of money. Toya burns his manor down after this.
• Nightmare Fuel: Everything since the moment Toya enters the duke’s manor. There’s one instance when the duke starts giggling creepily while holding his daughter’s hand and he then keeps Toya in place when the latter excuses himself. If this weren’t an Abridged Series, one would believe that the duke was about to rape his daughter right there and then and that Toya was going to be Forced to Watch. Then we hear about the true origins of the duke’s second daughter.
• Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: The canon version of Toya was criticized for being a painfully bland and uninteresting Invincible Hero whose achievements are accomplished without any effort whatsoever. While the latter part of his character is still present in the abridged version, his new personality as a self-aware con artist and Deadpan Snarker who masterfully adapts himself to any situation he finds himself into, as well as his hilarious dynamic with the rest of the cast make him a far more interesting character in many fans' eyes.
• Tear Jerker: Thomas and Gregg, the ineffectual thugs who were about to be married to each other during their armed robbery, get brutally murdered by Toya and Elze respectively after getting the former's diamond antler (which belonged to his grandmother) destroyed. Notably, Gregg is only upset that their moment was ruined, and not about the object itself, and Thomas only attacked Toya to defend Gregg's grandma's honor.
• Vindicated by History: When it premiered on SWE 10th Anniversary SAOA Marathon Extravaganza!!!, it was as an April Fools joke as the seventeenth episode of Sword Art Online Abridged was supposed to air in its stead. Because of this, some fans were livid, with a lot of people reportedly leaving the stream while it was airing, only for SWE to release the seventeenth episode afterwards anyway. By the time it was released on YouTube, the drama had already died down, and the episode was very positively received by the audience.
