* AcceptableTargets: The Goths (who are early Germans) are depicted as even more villainous than the Romans, not a single one of them possessing any redeeming qualities. Throwing their entire nation into centuries of civil war so they can't invade others is seen as a heroic act. [[note]]Throwing the Goths into war with each other can also be seen as a "funny" explanation as for why Germany wasn't a united country until 1871: they had been too busy fighting each other and creating several tiny principalities.[[/note]] The comic was written not too long after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, Creator/ReneGoscinny was Jewish and lost family members in UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust. Later appearances by Goths (for example in ''Recap/AsterixTheLegionary'') rectified this.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Rhetoric is understandably afraid of being killed alongside Getafix if he refuses to make magic potion for Metric. Getafix can understand the Goth language and knows his predicament... and yet he straight up refuses and has no sympathy for an interpreter who fears for his life, later directly telling Metric he's been lying. Getafix comes off as a cold jerk and many a reader can't help but sympathize with Rhetoric. Apparently, you must hate the latter because... he is a Goth.

He does eventually take him along when they escape and offers to help him take out the kuningaz but in his defiant stance he did cause him plenty of anguish at first.

* DesignatedVillain: The Romans are worried because the Goths have invaded Gallia. Both Goths and Gauls pass the frontier and roam in the forest, and the Romans are completely incapable of doing anything about it. Which may be also an HistoricalInJoke as it was pretty much the situation in UsefulNotes TheMigrationPeriod, when thousands of Goths crossed the borders with the Romans unable to stop them.
