* RealityEnsues: When Murphy insinuates that Chief Brody only put Joe on the case was because he's Asian, Chief Brody ''immediately'' has him sent to HR for blatant racism in the workplace. Especially ironic since he is played by an Asian-American actor.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Joe was once a regular AMV maker (which in Neo Otaku City treats like drug-dealing) before he became a cop.

** Sasuke's grandmother is infected with malware from piracy (not unlike catching a disease for needle-sharing in drug-use) and the symptoms (how she is slower and gets confused) sounds similar to dementia.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When they arrest Sasuke, the transition card looks similar to an animation from ''Manga/DeathNote''. In the following scene, Sasuke dies similar to how one dies when their name is in the titular Death Note (by a convenient heart-attack).
* RealityEnsues: When Murphy insinuates that Chief Brody only put Joe on the case was because he's Asian, Chief Brody ''immediately'' has him sent to HR for blatant racism in the workplace. Especially ironic since he is played by an Asian-American actor.
* TakeThat: ''Music/{{Evanescence}}'' is regularly used by the denizens of AMV Alley and can become an EarWorm if they aren't careful, Joe having used "Wake Me Up" during his own AMV days, a reference to their close association with the anime community by way of WolverinePublicity.
* TooDumbToLive: To show [[PoliceAreUseless just how out of their depth the rest of ACD is without Joe]], Detective Murphy theorizes that Hideki shot ''himself'' in the head and then ate the gun to hide the evidence. He then put his own gun into his mouth and would probably have intentionally shot himself if Joe didn't show up. Chief Brody even points out how it's "completely against regulations."
