- Arc Fatigue: A lot of readers have gotten sick of what can be considered the "Tasha's Past" arc due to the impatience of wanting to see the current cast and plot again. It doesn't help that the Story Arc has been going on since chapter 134, and that there have been long stretches of time between updates.
- Harsher in Hindsight
- Tasha's obsession with money and his assholery over it is hilarious. Especially since for all he earns it seems he's stuck in Perpetual Poverty due to spending it all. Then we learn that everything he earns is sent to his mother because his entire family will be killed if they can't pay off a massive and undeserved debt, and suddenly it stops being funny.
- Tasha's bullet-dodging training, while serving a practical purpose, is presented in a rather humorous flashback. Then his past reveals that he nearly died twice in close succession due to getting shot, and Edea's training becomes a lot more poignant.
- Xing's whimsical and easygoing nature is quite entertaining early on. Then we learn his (Yue's) past reputation is used as an excuse to manipulate events to send the real Xing over the Despair Event Horizon, and no one finds it funny.
- Ho Yay: Has its own page.
- Memetic Mutation: In Vol. 10, Tarras, Xing, Tasha and Cooga take on the roles of the Reaction Guys (AKA, the Gaijin Yonkoma), who are reacting to JMC dropping a Bridget on them. (And, by extension, the audience.)
- Mind Game Ship: Tasha and East, ever since the series began.
- Moe: Aria is deliberately supposed to be this before she became a witch. After... it's your choice whether she's still this or just creepy.
- Narm: The Witch's hats are rather silly-looking, especially early on.
- The Woobie:
- Xing that is, Yue in later volumes, as his past starts catching up to him.
- Tasha once we start learning all the crap that molded him into the person he is today, putting his personality in a different light.
