**Also the sound of Irina [[spoiler: stabbing Elluka in the back at the end of ''Survival 'Ma'''.]]
* InternetBackdraft: Discussing whom Michaela loved is a pretty good way to start an argument in some circles. Fanmade songs, such as ''Daughter of Green'' and at least two different songs titled ''Prince of Blue'', get cited as evidence rather frequently in favor of either Kyle or Allen. Information from the books isn't as easily accessible, but they contain the clearest explanations as to Michaela's relationship, with most canon songs leaving it as ambiguous. On rare occasions, an argument against Clarith x Michaela will insist that DiscountLesbians or HeterosexualLifePartners are in play, and the conversation sharply turns into a debate on whether or not that claim is homophobic.
* LesYay:
** In the trailer for ''Praeludium of Red'', there's a brief image of Elluka and Gumilia looking awfully chummy...
** ''The Lunacy of Duke Venomania'' Manga adaptation makes Lukana Octo a walking magnet of these. She was good friends with Lilien Turner (a baker), and bought her a beautiful bracelet to match hers. In fact, looking for Lukana is Lilien's motivation to follow the duke at first. There's also a scene where Lukana is hugging and talking to Mikulia about the duke/their situation. Mikulia's only answer is that she loves Venomania... and she also loves Lukana.

** Jokes about Allen's [[OffWithHisHead beheading.]]

** Prim of ''Story of Evil'' can cross this in one of several places, depending on whether you consider what happened first in the timeline or what the audience got to see first, but the most damning thing comes when the audience finally sees the whole picture: She [[spoiler: triggered two decades' worth of international suffering and warfare, all for the sake of spiting one woman who died halfway through this plot]].
* {{Narm}}: Whenever mothy fails to pull off NightmareFuel or {{Tear Jerker}}s, it usually becomes this. For example, Allen's ''paragraph-long scream'' in the novels.
* NarmCharm: In the Clockworker reprise of ''Recollective Music Box'', it's sung by Hiyama Kiyoteru with varying and oddly tuned pitches that make it sound almost whiny and comical when not considering the lyrics. Considering that the song is about how the two women in the world he loved most are dead, the strange pitches can come across as him singing as he's holding back tears, varying between complete and utter depression for low parts and wailing for the chorus.
* NauseaFuel: ''Evil Food Eater Conchita''.
** Certain parts of ''Madness of Duke Venomania'' might initiate this instead of FetishFuel.
** One of the images in the PV for ''Flower of the Plateau'' can qualify as well. See FanDisservice above.
* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/{{Mothy}} Has its own page.]]
* {{Squick}}: ''The Madness of Duke Venomania'' has several scenes that are likely to provoke such a reaction.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the Story of Evil, mothy has plenty of these; for a few examples, Germaine’s backstory and how she was adopted by Leonhart was to be touched on in ''Praeludium of Red'', the song ''Kept Waiting for a Response'' was supposed to detail the end moments of [[spoiler: Riliane in the monastery]], and there are some cases of stories that were cut from earlier material but released later, such as ''Retrouver of Silver'' originally planned to play out in ''Clôture of Yellow''.
** ''Abandoned on a Moonlit Night'' apparently was going to be called "Zoo Detention" with, presumably, a completely different plot.
* TheWoobie: Many, but [[LoveMartyr Allen]], [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth Micheala]], [[IJustWantToBeNormal Kyle]] and [[IJustWantToHaveFriends Clarith]] in the ''Story of Evil'' stand out.
** And Elluka, who lost everything she held dear in ''Original Sin Story'' and keeps on losing friends throughout the franchise.
** The Clockworker's Doll. The lyrics of ''Master of the Court'' make her something of a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds too.

He grew up as a ghoul child, had to watch the two people he loved most try to kill each other (one succeeding), [[spoiler: unintentionally destroyed his homeland]], and ended up a poor, miserable and crazy old man in a broken country who lost his gift to make music boxes.

On rare occasions, an argument against Clarith x Michaela will insist that DiscountLesbians or HeterosexualLifePartners are in play, and the conversation sharply turns into a debate on whether or not that claim is homophobic.
* LesYay:
** In the trailer for ''Praeludium of Red'', there's a brief image of Elluka and Gumilia looking awfully chummy...
** ''The Lunacy of Duke Venomania'' Manga adaptation makes Lukana Octo a walking magnet of these. She was good friends with Lilien Turner (a baker), and bought her a beautiful bracelet to match hers. In fact, looking for Lukana is Lilien's motivation to follow the duke at first. There's also a scene where Lukana is hugging and talking to Mikulia about the duke/their situation. Mikulia's only answer is that she loves Venomania... and she also loves Lukana.
** The scanned images for the Conchita novel have an...[[LesYay interesting]] image of Platonic and Elluka together.
* MagnificentBastard: Gallerian Marlon.
** Also, [[spoiler: Prim Marlon]]. Maybe it's a family trait?
** Irina deserves special mention here, as not only [[spoiler: is she pretty much the one manipulating nearly everything behind the events of ''Story of Evil'']], we could fill an entire article just listing each one of her schemes in the entire Chronicles.
** Ma, too.
* MemeticBadass: [[CuteBruiser Chartette]] [[BadassBookworm Langley]].
* MemeticMolester: Kyle Marlon, due to his epilogue in the Fanbook stating that he started [[MaybeEverAfter living]] with [[ChildrenAreInnocent Yukina Freesis]] after traveling the world as a painter. (Although with no dates specified she could well have been of age by that point.)
** There's also his [[ArrangedMarriage engagement]] to Riliane and crush on the physically teenage Michaela. That he was possessed by the Demon of Lust didn't help...
* MemeticMutation: After ''Story of Evil'''s novels were released, fans are prone to making comments that go "CURSE YOU [[spoiler: [[EvilMatriarch PRIM]] [[ManipulativeBastard MARLON]]]]!"
** Another early one was "IT'S ALL KAITO'S FAULT!" due to the fact that whenever something went wrong in the SevenDeadlySins series, a character played by KAITO would usually be the indirect cause.
** Not to mention that before [[DealWithTheDevil the truth came out]] about how the hell Conchita was so thin, it was a widely accepted meme to say that it all went to her boobs.
** Jokes about Allen's [[OffWithHisHead beheading.]]
** Mothy himself has become a memetic MagnificentBastard.
** People joking and complaining about when the Wrath song is coming out was fairly common before its announced release, particularly claiming the wait was making them angry.
** Complaining about [[FailOSuckyName the names of certain characters.]] [[BilingualBonus Pollo]] and Neruneru being the most common.
** Kachess' memetic habit for cross-dressing.
-->''Yufina's gone missing? Bringing out the drag''
** [[BilingualBonus Pollo]] tasting like chicken.
** The hilariously screwed up version of Clarith from ''Aku Musu'' has become a spokesperson for frustrated fans.
* MisaimedFandom: The Duke from ''The Lunacy of Duke Venomania'' seems to have quite a large fanbase who wish he'd seduce them into his harem.
** [[FridgeBrilliance In other words]], [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou his charms have an effect even on the viewers]]?
** Kayo in ''Tailor of Enbizaka'' gets a bit of this too from fans less in the know.
* MoralEventHorizon: Each [[VillainProtagonist protagonist]] in the ''Seven Deadly Sins Series'' passes this, [[spoiler: except Riliane, who manages to repent and become a better person.]]
** Banica: [[ImAHumanitarian Cannibalism]]
** Kayo: MurderTheHypotenuse (three times) AND IfICantHaveYou.
** Sateraisis: [[RapeAsDrama Rape]] on a wide scale.
** Gallerian: His greed causing him to acquit a rich killer and resulting in outright war.
** Margarita: Murder. On a grand scale. Might also count as DespairEventHorizon.
** Mikulia crosses this when she [[spoiler: kills her own son [[DisproportionateRetribution just to hide the fact that she]] ReallyGetsAround]]
** Prim of ''Story of Evil'' can cross this in one of several places, depending on whether you consider what happened first in the timeline or what the audience got to see first, but the most damning thing comes when the audience finally sees the whole picture: She [[spoiler: triggered two decades' worth of international suffering and warfare, all for the sake of spiting one woman who died halfway through this plot]].
* {{Narm}}: Whenever mothy fails to pull off NightmareFuel or {{Tear Jerker}}s, it usually becomes this. For example, Allen's ''paragraph-long scream'' in the novels.
* NarmCharm: In the Clockworker reprise of ''Recollective Music Box'', it's sung by Hiyama Kiyoteru with varying and oddly tuned pitches that make it sound almost whiny and comical when not considering the lyrics. Considering that the song is about how the two women in the world he loved most are dead, the strange pitches can come across as him singing as he's holding back tears, varying between complete and utter depression for low parts and wailing for the chorus.
* NauseaFuel: ''Evil Food Eater Conchita''.
** Certain parts of ''Madness of Duke Venomania'' might initiate this instead of FetishFuel.
** One of the images in the PV for ''Flower of the Plateau'' can qualify as well. See FanDisservice above.
* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/{{Mothy}} Has its own page.]]
* {{Squick}}: ''The Madness of Duke Venomania'' has several scenes that are likely to provoke such a reaction.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the Story of Evil, mothy has plenty of these; for a few examples, Germaine’s backstory and how she was adopted by Leonhart was to be touched on in ''Praeludium of Red'', the song ''Kept Waiting for a Response'' was supposed to detail the end moments of [[spoiler: Riliane in the monastery]], and there are some cases of stories that were cut from earlier material but released later, such as ''Retrouver of Silver'' originally planned to play out in ''Clôture of Yellow''.
** ''Abandoned on a Moonlit Night'' apparently was going to be called "Zoo Detention" with, presumably, a completely different plot.
* TheWoobie: Many, but [[LoveMartyr Allen]], [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth Micheala]], [[IJustWantToBeNormal Kyle]] and [[IJustWantToHaveFriends Clarith]] in the ''Story of Evil'' stand out.
** And Elluka, who lost everything she held dear in ''Original Sin Story'' and keeps on losing friends throughout the franchise.
** The Clockworker's Doll. The lyrics of ''Master of the Court'' make her something of a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds too.
-->'''Doll''': How can the lifeless me understand? How can the heartless me understand?
** Kiril Clockworker. He grew up as a ghoul child, had to watch the two people he loved most try to kill each other (one succeeding), [[spoiler: unintentionally destroyed his homeland]], and ended up a poor, miserable and crazy old man in a broken country who lost his gift to make music boxes. His tearful version of ''Recollective Music Box'' from his perspective just makes you wanna give the guy a hug.
*** JerkassWoobie: Riliane.
*** And Venomania, once [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer his]] [[AbusiveParents backstory]] is revealed.
*** [[spoiler: Ney Futapie/Marlon after her death]].
*** Meta Salmhofer. Growing up without parents and engaging in a life of crime and terrorism for a while, she had a [[HeelFaceTurn change of heart]] after giving birth to twins, and resolved to protect her children [[spoiler: from experimentation]], only to get murdered and her children kidnapped [[spoiler: by Eve.]] She mentions in her song that she's never been loved by anyone. Ever.
