YMMV / The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!

Go To

  • Alternate Character Interpretation: While Druj does genuinely express devotion to Jahy, there are some moments where her being Innocently Insensitive towards her ex-superior's plight come across as innately resentful. It could be that in some capacity, Druj truly hated how Jahy treated her as nothing more than furniture and is unintentionally venting her pent-up frustrations at her boss now that she is depowered.
  • Genius Bonus: The opening's refrain contains the Gratuitous English word "paradise", quite fitting for a series that draws from Zoroastrian mythology. In real life, the word comes from old Iranian, where it means "walled garden", and it became popular when the Hebrews adopted it as a loanword from Zoroastrianism.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Jahy might be a major Jerkass who brings most of her misfortunes on herself, but seeing her cry and feel depressed whenever life kicks her down makes her huggable all the same, especially when the world beats her down even when she's not being particularly assholish, just acting smug and confident, which the story apparently treats as being just as bad as being an ass.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • "Yet Another Great Find!" A picture of Jahy in a shopping cart has made the rounds of the Internet.

  • Moe:
    • Jahy is simply just adorable whenever she is in her Sleep-Mode Size form. Her boss couldn't even resist the urge to glomp her when first seeing it. Of course, this would make it near impossible for anyone to take Jahy seriously whenever she rants about being the former second-in-command in the Dark Realm.
    • Maou-sama is a near-mute girl who constantly gorges herself on food. Also helps how she acts like a cat in her oddness.
    • Kokoro is a sweet girl who befriends Jahy and is one of the key reasons she started to develop a conscience.
    • Much like Jahy, Saurva is destined for failure, and yet she comes off as especially cute for it. Also helps that she fails at being evil and ironically comes off as angelic instead.
  • Spiritual Successor: To Squid Girl, another manga about a diminutive wannabe conqueror roped into working for/living with two sisters; one a violent, caustic brute who busts the protagonist's (metaphorical) balls and the other a reserved, matronly woman who can nonetheless be terrifying when she's mad. Both anime adaptations also have the same lead writer, Michiko Yokote.
  • The Woobie: Saurva desperately desires to be taken seriously, but she's an even worse Butt-Monkey than Jahy, with her dignity and emotions constantly being toyed with and often crushed, and she's such a Minion with an F in Evil who's a borderline Nice Girl in spite of her best efforts to be evil that she can't even qualify for Jerkass Woobie, just being somebody you want to hug and cheer on in the hopes that she might potentially succeed at something she wants.
