* {{Adorkable}}: Sasa and Orca, for different reasons.
** Sasa is genuinely sweet, if not socially awkward. Try reading his first real interaction with Naga and claiming that he ''isn't'' this.
** Orca is uptight and serious, making it all the more endearing with how shy and prudish he is. Also, his various, crippling fears, such as [[AfraidOfNeedles needles]] and [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes bugs]].

** As FantasticRacism and human trafficking ramps up, [[spoiler:at least one executive becomes understandably afraid that his HalfHumanHybrid grandchild will become a victim, and it's why he wants to hire Naga so badly]].


Added DiffLines:

* AndTheAdventureContinues: Spoon--or whichever name they're going by now--is still standing, even after the fall of Knife, and Naga continues to work for them. As the final lines go:
-->'''Naga:''' Thank you for saying thank you. I'll do better tomorrow.


Added DiffLines:

* BittersweetEnding: In the end, life goes on. Naga may have become much wearier of the hero business, but it didn't break him, and he states that he'd still help people regardless. Dune [[spoiler:has accepted that he can't handle his job and has become a teacher instead]], Sasa [[spoiler:fulfilled his revenge even if it perhaps didn't cure everything]], and very pointedly, right after Naga notes that he hasn't [[spoiler:seen No. 2--who ended up the most broken out of everyone--come outside all this time, he sees No. 2 stepping out to help No. 1 and Gregor with the flowers]].


Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Calling the executives evil is pushing it, but TheReveal is that for all they hounded Naga on acting as a bodyguard for them, [[spoiler:the ones they really wanted him to protect were their HalfHumanHybrid relatives, not themselves]].

Naga, your everyday normal high school student, is recruited by the government agency SPOON to be a superhero.
Of course, he refuses right away. Who in their right mind would ever want to be a superhero anyways?

* AdultFear:
** It's hardly a surprise that when Naga's parents visit him in the hospital, they tell him he should quit being a hero. For that matter, Spoon actually had to lie to them about why Naga was hospitalized to begin with, claiming that he collapsed out of exhaustion rather than being severely injured.
** The story of [[spoiler:Baek Morae and No. 2's relationship]] is essentially that of a parent who has to watch their child become a criminal and struggles to accept that this is beyond their control now (as well as blaming themselves for it), as well as having to choose between children (in this case, between [[spoiler:Baek Morae, his "first" child, and Osu, his "current" one]]).



* AllGenesAreCoDominant: Played straight and subverted. HalfHumanHybrids take after both the animal and the human, but if two different hybrids produce a child, the child will only receive the animal characteristics of one parent. It's why Hyena is initially surprised to see Vicki, who has both wings and cat ears--before Vicki reveals that her mother was an action figure come to life.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Barring minor characters/characters who eventually die, the examples of happy, requited couples is limited solely to [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Haze and Raptor]] and [[UglyGuyHotWife Gregor and Eunbidan]] and vastly outnumbered.
** Dana is in love with Osu, who appears to be ObliviousToLove.
** Yuda is in love with Eunbidan, who ends up with Gregor.
** Songha is in love with Young Jeong, who not only considers him far too young but sees him as [[spoiler:a disposable pawn]].
** Lady is in love with Naga, who would prefer that she stay far, far away from him.
** Orca is in love with Medusa, who sees him more as a surrogate son than anything.
** The entire plot happens because Baek Morae is in love with Raptor while she would very much rather see him ''dead''.
* AmbiguousTimePeriod: For the most part, the setting resembles modern-day Earth (specifically, it takes place in Korea). However, it mentions racism of the non-fantastic kind being a thing of the past, which would indicate it taking place in the future were it not for the lack of any other futuristic signs.



* CastFromHitPoints: When [[GenreSavvy Naga]] expresses surprise that healers need stamina, Dune explains that it's because healing powers work in this fashion.
* CerebusRollercoaster: The series basically lives the MoodWhiplash life 24/7. One can expect humorous (or, at the very least, light-hearted) moments in between all the gruesome and depressing events that occur, or vice versa--casual moments of darkness in between the humour.



* ContinuityCameo: Sara (Sasa's younger brother, who featured in the original edition of the webtoon) can be seen when the main trio visits Fork.



* DarkAndTroubledPast: Despite the series being a gag comic, it's fond of these. Notable examples include Guineung, No. 2, Dune, and Baekmorae. Guineung functions well in spite of it, No. 2's fine as long as certain elements don't come up, Dune's a ShellShockedVeteran, and Baekmorae's... ''[[CuteAndPsycho Baekmorae]]''.

Guineung who functions well in spite of it, to No. 2's 2 who's fine as long as certain elements don't come up, to Dune's who's a ShellShockedVeteran, and Baekmorae's...to Baekmorae's who's... ''[[CuteAndPsycho Baekmorae]]''.



* DestructiveSaviour: PlayedForLaughs in Ch. 0. Naga and co. apprehend the thief by destroying the motorbike he was using to get away... only to remember that the stolen object they were meant to retrieve ''was said motorbike''.
* DwindlingParty: Once the first Knife member dies, all bets are off. [[spoiler:Only about an arc after Songha's death, Lady and Sewol follow suit. The TerribleTrio then play it safe and stay out of Spoon's sight for a while, but again, once Orca bites it, the rest sequentially kick the bucket in short order.]]



* FamedInStory: Subverted. Most heroes aren't known individually by the public (as Dune points out, when heroes act in numbers and don't bother with secrecy, people lose interest), which generally works out for the better--it means they can live their ordinary lives easily. Exceptions come mostly in the form of those who are famous outside of being a hero, such as Young Jeong, or attract fans due to their looks, such as Sasa.



* HeroInsurance: Averted. This ''doesn't'' exist, hence why Dune is very fussy about the heroes not committing vandalism and destruction. When a (unspecified) character apparently destroys a bus and Dune is on Spoon's case for it, Dana decides to dock the pay of whoever wrecked it as compensation.



* KidHero: Hyena, Stel, and Naga, who are all minors.

to:

* KidHero: Hyena, Stel, Stell, and Naga, who are all minors.



* ObstructiveBureaucrat: The executives, occasionally dipping into CorruptBureaucrat territory. They're in charge of Spoon--which most would find unfortunate, given that they're also nowhere near as heroic. Unsurprisingly, Dana and the others can't stand most of them.



* OnePersonOnePower: While there are exceptions, this is the case for most people.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Not an entirely uncommon motivation for joining Spoon. For what it's worth, Dana is happy to exploit it.



* PassingTheTorch: Young Jeong intends to [[spoiler:do this with Naga, who is less than willing. She also demands that when he steps down, he pass the torch to his superpowered cousin]].



* PoliceAreUseless: Averted. Spoon works in conjunction with the police (and occasionally, for simplicity's sake, claim to be the police with citizens who won't know the difference) and are shown to have a decent relationship with them.

Added DiffLines:

* WholeEpisodeFlashback: Used when explaining Baek Morae's DarkAndTroubledPast and thus how Knife was formed, Sasa's early days at Spoon (introducing Guineung's DarkAndTroubledPast and Sasa's first team), and how Baek Morae and Raptor first met and why Raptor despises him now.

Added DiffLines:

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Not even accounting side characters such as the VictimOfTheWeek, there's at least 3-4 organizations to keep track of.


Added DiffLines:

* PowerOfTrust: In a negative fashion. It's noted that "trust" is a shackle that can keep victims in abusive situations: Baek Morae believed that the director trusted him and so put up with the horrendous circumstances of the laboratory to honour that faith (blissfully unaware that the director was invoking this). Similarly, it's implied that Orca follows Baek Morae's orders in part because he can't go against someone expressing trust in him, in however a twisted way.


Added DiffLines:

* SympathyForTheHero: Knife does occasionally feel bad for Spoon--being a hero is much harder than being a villain, what with being a SlaveToPR and whatnot.
