Removed this example because Jerkass Has A Point requires the jerkass's point to be shown as valid in-universe. If it happpened here, the example fails to bring it up. (I did watch the episode where it happened and don't remember Ton's point being framed as valid... but I dropped the show after that very episode, so maybe it happened later.)


** When Retsuko ends up with a television interview in which she badmouths Ton and continuously spends working hours on websites related to quitting her job, Ton has every reason to chew her out and was well within his rights to fire her on the spot. Not only does doing that on TV[[note]]even with her face blurred out, it was clearly her[[/note]] hurt the company and its image, she's also wasting her time, not being productive, and being very unprofessional. However, as always, Ton takes his jerkassery just a little bit too far by giving her a demeaning nickname and constantly demanding that she get him tea which is also [[{{Hypocrite}} unprofessional.]]

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed. She's still a sadist who gets her kicks at watching people fail and break their wrists on her preserves jars. On the other hand, she's the first of Retsuko's bosses to realize something is wrong with her and ask her if she is actually alright. It's implied she stopped dumping as much work on Retsuko until after she broke up with her boyfriend. In the Christmas Special its shown that she does care for her family too and has a Christmas gift that she wants to give to her nephew/niece in person when she sees them on New Years. She's still a complete tool but there's some kindness in her black little heart of jerk.
