* UnwillingRoboticisation: Clarice from ''Blood of Killer'' gets turned into a mindless wind-up murder machine by Concerned Citizen. Concerned Citizen nearly does the same to BB before the Killer uses Clarice against him. In the end, it's implied that Clarice is starting to remember her original personality and helps BB escape the burning mansion.
* VagueAge: BB's age was said to be "older than Franchise/{{Tintin}}", who's age is already not clear. Fans have generally considered BB to be in her early 20s or late teens.
