* BrokenBase: [[spoiler:Ranko's sudden death]] in the penultimate episode. You either think [[spoiler:it was a well done subversion of expectations that highlighted the tragedy of Ranko's arc, solidified her as Nagomi's ShadowArchetype by showing her exactly what would happen if she allowed Aikiba to break her like Ranko did, and hammered home the message that the violent nature of the Maid Wars Ranko and Nagi embodied is unsustainable]], or you think [[spoiler:it completely destroyed Ranko's character, went against the established "rules" of the story for the sake of a cheap tragedy (Ranko had previously been shown to tank multiple injuries but is ultimately killed by a ''single'' stab), it completely destroyed the themes of the series by denying Ranko the redemption and happy ending the series had been leading her towards up to this point, and it completely removes any satisfaction from Nagi's eventual downfall and death since [[TheBadGuyWins she had effectively already won and went out at the height of her power after having achieved all her goals]].]] This is ''very'' little in-between.

* {{Asspull}}: Nagomi [[spoiler:surviving 6 shots to the the body, comes across that way, as a a lot tougher characters died of significantly lesser wounds.]]

** Nagomi has an ImagineSpot about happens to maids who fail to pay off their casino debt. Getting sold into slavery: pretty horrifying. Getting sold to serve as a crab fisherman off of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bering_Sea Bering Sea]]: slightly amusing. Being forced to work ''in your maid outfit while fishing'': pretty amusing. Then having all that and have a large crab land on your face: hilarious.

** The baseball game seemingly about to end because of a sudden murder? Very grim. Nagomi being so endearing to everyone, including the team playing as dirty as possible against her, that they keep going for the sake of a fair game despite the corpses being hidden in plain sight? Maybe a chuckle. The teams standing alongside each other at the end of the game, [[RefugeInAudacity holding the two bodies upright when they are very clearly not alive]]? Priceless.
