** This actually happens with several characters early on, mostly because the series hadn't switched from it's gag-a-day nature. Later on, many characters were merged into the story line, but many of the less defined ones didn't make the cut.

** In another story arc, Khrima plots to steal a magic water-generating crystal, which provides the only source of water for a city, to use in his office water cooler. Mizuna then says that, once they have it, it would be better to ransom it back to the city in exchange for its inhabitants becoming his servants. Khrima agrees that her idea is better. Then, in the process of stealing it, the two of them discover what the people who live in the city [[TooDumbToLive are]] [[ObstructiveBureaucrat actually]] [[SurroundedByIdiots like]] - and into the water cooler it goes.

* FlockOfWolves: One of Khirma's plans was to capture all the party members and replace them with robot duplicates, then have the robot duplicates strike when they least suspect it. There are three major flaws with this:
** One: The robot duplicates don't look like the people they're supposed to look like.
** Two: If he'd captured and replaced them all, then the robots would be attacking each other.
** Three: Why would they make a robot duplicate of Evil Killer Death Spybot 5000? He already works for them.

This extends to everyone else (except Eternion) and becomes a RunningGag; when Khrima's about to go through a lot of pain in the Final Battle, he says "Oh '''utensil'''."
