** And most importantly, even worse than Daisy's reaction is Waluigi's own reaction. As implied at the end of "Waluigi Trilogi", as wacky and crazy as Waluigi is, there is a part of him that just wishes to be accepted and loved by others. And as we have seen at the end of "Waluigi Finaluigi", Waluigi takes on a more human-like appearence when he stops his "WAA" behavior. When [[ApologeticAttacker Daisy]], Link, [[TheRival Luigi]], Kirby, and Fox enter the room, Waluigi is ''overjoyed'' to see them... he's excited because he thinks they've come to play his games and thus accept him. But when Luigi [[spoiler:throws the Assist Trophy stand at Waluigi]], Waluigi is seen taking that same normal form again, and it is clear from Waluigi's expression that he realizes too late that he is dejected, hated and unwanted, not loved. It's the shock and hurt captured in that expression that makes you [[AlasPoorScrappy feel bad for one of Nintendo's most divisive characters]].

** Even The character reactions of Wario, Daisy and Luigi are worth noticing. It can be seen that Wario knew what was going to happen to Waluigi as soon as he [[spoiler:saw the Assist Trophy capsule in Daisy´s hands]], and instead of warning his friend, simply gets out of there as soon as possible, without even thinking about it. Daisy´s reaction is such a strong one because she was the only person who ever tried to be friends with Waluigi, and she sympathizes with him due to both having a certain [[TheUnfavourite unfavourite status]]. It can be said that when she demanded Waluigi to stop his shenanigans in "Waluigi Finaluigi", she was also warning him about his behaviour. In comic 556, she is so apologetic about having to [[spoiler:trap Waluigi as an Assist that she is incapable of seeing him being sealed away and has to hand the capsule to Luigi]]. And Luigi, who has more reasons to hate Waluigi than anyone else in the world, still seems pretty upset about having to do it because of Daisy´s reactions.

* Comic 517 is, while funny, a little heartwrenching when, at the end, Sonic has his "Blue Blur" nickname stripped from him and given to Mega Man. PlayedForLaughs though it may be, anyone who's ever dealt with the AlwaysSomeoneBetter trope in real life and had a similar situation will sympathize greatly.
