* Once you read the part where [[spoiler: Youya Saiki aka Sakurako reveals to Masataka [[UnsettlingGenderReveal theri biological gender]] ]], you'll be all WHAT THE HELL for quite a bit wondering where did that come from. However... the [[spoiler: mostly implied sex scene between Souma and Sakurako]] had more than one subtle hint towards this particular reveal... We never truly see [[spoiler: Sakurako]] naked, but we ''do'' get to see [[spoiler: some parts of their nude body - the face and torso covered in shadows (with the latter being easy to mistake for a girl's small boobs instead of a teen boy's chest, considering that Sakurako is just 15 years old and still not fully grown), their nude body [[SceneryCensor blocked by the view of Souma's fully clothed one]] when [[KimonoFanservice their kimono is discarded]], the slender hip that Souma kisses when they're about to have sex.]] And THE spoken phrase? [[spoiler: Sakurako wasn't referring to themself when saying "Dedicate the rest of your life to making amends for your sins towards Sakurako"... ''Youya'' was actually referring to the MissingMom that Katsuragi forced Souma to kill as punishment for all of the abuse (physical, emotional, sexual) she piled on him, and whose death [[GoMadFromTheRevelation drove Youya towards the edge]] and made them [[MysiblingWillLiveThroughMe take up her name]].]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Neat]] [[MagnificentBitch one]], Creator/YuuWatase.

* Balancing somewhere between FridgeHorror and FridgeBrilliance is this. [[spoiler: Katou not only continued his Mistress' (and lovers') plot to get their son to take over a family he had no blood-right to after she was murdered, but helped break his own son into teeny-tiny pieces to do so. All to keep her memory alive by having the boy dress as a girl, as well as get revenge by using the resulting mental result. Cute. But, that's not enough: to keep his son with him, he even tried to finish the job after his death. I'd say he had just as many screws loose as both his son and lover under that butler's façade.]]

* The only way that Souma was ever shown any affection at all was through sexual abuse and rape. It is [[NightmareFuel the only way he was ever able to interpret any kind of affection or care from]] '''''[[GoMadFromTheIsolation anyone]]''''' [[FateWorseThanDeath throughout his entire childhood]]. Anyone want to make an educated guess at what they thought he was going to actually ''do'' to Masataka when [[spoiler: he finally realised he loved him? Knowing Souma's backstory, it becomes less surprising that Souma raped Masataka at all than that it didn't happen ''earlier''.]] However, looking back from those very first chapters, you can see the hints being dropped, the situations slowly closing in. Only later do you find out that, despite being an EmptyShell with a backstory as painful as spending a nuclear winter in hell, Souma didn't ask Masataka to kill him to end his own misery, but to stop him for what he was ''going'' to do.[[hottip:*:Or what other people were going to do because of him.]] ... There's a very good reason why the KarmicDeath of this series' worst villains [[hottip:*:You'll know them by their use of ColdBloodedTorture and indiscriminate rape]] feels so [[HoistByHisOwnPetard very, very satisfying]].
