!!Big Wayne
A major character introduced in Volume 10, and the VillainProtagonist of Volume 11.
* AbusiveParents: At one point he shouts at his own daughter and makes her cry [[DisproportionateRetribution just because he sees her as needlessly interrupting his conversation with Bingie Roy]].
* CainAndAbel: He is the Cain, while his cousin Bingie Roy is the Abel. [[spoiler:True to the trope, after Bingie Roy calls Big Wayne out for his lack of ambition, Big Wayne sets him up to be killed]].
* HateSink: He is the single most despicable character in the story arc that is started in Volume 10. Even fellow douchebag Ankle Socks has some redeeming moments (however few those may be) compared to him.
* ManipulativeBastard: Makes use of the ManipulativeEditing trope to try setting different persons up to kill each other or frame them for things they didn't say or do, and threatens lackeys into doing whatever he wants them to do.
* NeverMyFault: He refuses to even consider or remember that the reason he is still in poverty is that Bingie Roy had offered him a partnership in a snack-selling enterprise to make money for themselves, only for Wayne to turn up his nose at it because he didn't see the value of using the venture to save money over a period of time.
* TheResenter: Hatefully envious toward his cousin Bingie Roy for the latter's rising success and wealth from building on his entrepreneurial selling of banana chips, as well as angry at Bingie Roy for calling out his own lack of ambition to better himself.
* UngratefulBastard: Bingie Roy is using some of his own money to send Big Wayne's daughter to school. Big Wayne's response is to complain about how his son isn't getting the same privilege (although Roy points out in response that the son in question hasn't merited that level of sacrifice).

!!Amuro and Adube Abugane
An African couple who are introduced in Volume 7. Amuro Abugane is a university professor, and Adube is his neglected and ''very'' frustrated wife.
* BrokenPedestal: Professor Abugane becomes this for Muta.

* HypocriticalHumor: Professor Abugane brags that in Africa, if a woman cheats on her husband, he can be authorized to kill her for her infidelity, whereas a man can cheat on his wife without fear of repercussion. When Adube reveals that she's cheated on him and threatens to leave him, however, he breaks down in tears and begs her to stay, even offering to let her "rule over his head"...much to [[{{Fanboy}} Muta's]] utter disappointment.
