* OnlySaneMan: Akiro is the only person in the party who thinks resurrecting Dagoth is a very bad idea, due to Conan being blinded by the promise of his OneTrueLove being resurrected, Jehnna being brainwashed into her role as sacrifice, Zula JustFollowingOrders, Bombaata being a traitor, and Malak being rock stupid.

* BecauseDestinySaysSo: Discussed; As Jehnna is retrieving the Horn of Dagoth, Akiro reads the full prophecy that tells of how Jehnna must be sacrificed, and how Dagoth will destroy the world once he's revived. When Akiro warns Conan of all this, Conan, determined to earn Valeria's resurrection, is dismissive of the latter point - "It's just writing on the wall!" - but as for Jehnna's fate...
-->'''Akiro:''' She is to be killed! Sacrificed!
-->'''Conan:''' We shall see. Destiny or not.
