* ILoveNuclearPower: [[spoiler:The true cause of Monmow Disease is contaminated drinking water drawn from places that contained deposits of a rare radioactive isotope. Played somewhat more realistically than most, considering the gradual, painful, and usually fatal nature of the mutations, but the dog-face thing is still ''really'' pushing it.]]

Added DiffLines:
* AntiHero: Urobe, a genuinely well-intentioned doctor attempting to set things right and expose the conspiracy that resulted in Kirihito's suffering and who is also a serial rapist.
** Kirihito becomes this for a period as a result of his continuous emotional trauma, being incredibly angry, cold and quick to violence, to the point of attempting to strangle a baby and being stopped by Reika. [[spoiler: The baby dies anyways.]]

Added DiffLines:
* NominalHero: Urobe is working with the good guys, but the fact that he's a literal rapist pushes him well over UnscrupulousHero territory.
Added DiffLines:
* SerialRapist: [[spoiler: A rare sympathetic version. Urobe rapes Izumi and Helen multiple times to the point of getting the latter pregnant, but he absolutely despises himself for what he's doing and kills himself after he finishes his mission.]]
Added DiffLines:
* UnscrupulousHero: Kirihito during his time in Arabia. He becomes increasingly cold, angry and violent as a result of his TraumaCongaLine and only snaps out of it when he returns to Japan.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: The racism of the white upper class in South Africa and the racial divide propogated by it at the time of the story are depicted prominently and plays heavily into Helen's subplot, as many people aware of her condition try to keep it secret so they can uphold the facade that Monmow only effects non-whites.

Suffice to say, there's a lot of stuff going on here. ''Ode to Kirihito'' is one of those "artsy" manga, dealing heavily with substantive issues in a medium where even today this kind of introspection is unusual. Suggest it to friends who dismiss comics as all being something for kids. And don't forget to tell them it was written by the same guy who made ''Manga/AstroBoy''.
