* BittersweetEnding: For both the Hegemony and the Horde, thanks to the story's CutShort nature.
** More "sweet" on the Horde's side, as [[spoiler: Hordak has gone through CharacterDevelopment, rejected Prime, and developed into a more caring ruler]], and the war is evening out. On the other hand, however, [[spoiler: Hordak has only become more of a WellIntentionedExtremist who hopes to conquer Etheria even more and do the dirty work from the shadows]], with the only hope in the future being [[spoiler: Catra's eventual reign]]. Catra in particular ends with mixed feelings on the events; she's proud of what the Horde has become, but admits that [[spoiler: Hordak's attempt to conquer Etheria will only hurt him more and feeds into his martyr complex... which reminds her of Adora]].
** Much, ''much'' more bitter on the Hegemony side, even though later edits retconned the final chapter to favor them ''slightly'' more. Any dream of unity they had is falling apart, Bow is revealed to be [[spoiler: extremely self-serving and even deranged by faking Light Hope's murder, deceiving Adora]], the traitor hasn't yet been caught, Angella [[spoiler: remains in power]], and Adora [[spoiler: has decided she's willing to kill in order to get revenge for Light Hope's murder]]. The Hegemony remains as corrupt as ever and little has changed, but there's a slight bit of hope in the knowledge that [[spoiler: Light Hope is actually alive, the Princesses seem to be coming together, and all this ''somehow'' figures into Bow's grand plan to put Glimmer on them throne]]... provided he's not [[UnreliableNarrator lying about that too]].

** ''Hegemony'' focuses on Hordak and Catra cooperating, bonding, and understanding each other, which directly opposes [[EvilVersusEvil their relationship from canon]]. ''The Trial of Hordak'' features Catra standing up in Hordak's defense and its bonus chapter focuses its second half entirely on a conversation between the two. Overall, their works clearly have a lot of emphasis on Hordak and Catra getting along, and being all the more effective for it.

That said, it's ''very'' hard not to side with him, considering he's dealing with [[spoiler: a world-conquering, genocidal, narcissistic monster.

** Angella and the Hegemony on the whole have significant aspects of religion melded into their evil ways.

** Hordak's clash with [[spoiler: Horde Prime]] has this in spades. [[spoiler: Prime's godlike nature, Hordak's extreme religious trauma, and the sheer evil of not only knowing your divine figure, but discovering they're completely vile, is the most played-up part of the encounter.
