* VillainSue: Charioce XVII comes off as this to many viewers, after the final episode. Despite all of the atrocities committed over his reign as king, the narrative ustifies his actions one by one, justifying them to what some call an unsatisfactory degree. And in the end, [[spoiler:his plan to kill Bahamut succeeds and he gets to live with Nina, where most of the other main characters that opposed him lost everything they cared about.]]

* HoYay: Largely stemming from Favaro and Kaisar's interactions over the series, and especially Kaisar's constant chasing the man.
** Azazel and Lucifer's interactions have shades of this, with Azazel devoting himself to his lord wholeheartedly, and Lucifer feeling quite a bit of concern for him.

** As tragic as it is for Amira when she finds out the true purpose for her existence, let alone seeing the state her mother is in when they finally do meet, it is very touching that when Amira finally gets to hug her mother, she momentarily calms out of her abuse-induced madness and takes comfort in her child's embrace.
** Jeanne and [[spoiler:El]] reuniting in heaven, in ''Virgin Soul'' episode 15. And even more so, when Azazel and Mugaro finally reunite.

* CatharsisFactor: For many, when Favaro punches Charioce in Episode 20. After having a series where Charioce doesn't quite get the comeuppance that he deserved, Favaro slugging him in the fans helped satiate them.


Added DiffLines:

** Nina, at least where Charioce is concerned. Her love and defense of Charioce is dismissed and mocked by some fans, considering that the group she's travelling with and some of her acquaintances (Jeanne, Mugaro, and Azazel) are directly suffering from the actions of his regime. The show goes out of its way to have Nina realize it and ponder it a bit, acknowledging that he has done a lot of wrong, but she never dwells on it for very long, which makes her seem downright insensitive to her acquaintances' legitimate grievances with him.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: There's a lot of this reaction towards Charioce from the moment it was made clear the audience is supposed to feel for bad for him and his role as King, reasons vary but it usually boils down to people feeling that he either stole screentime [[SpotlightStealingSquad from the far more popular Azazel]], and that his backstory and motivations are not nearly enough for his character to be sympathetic let alone to be redeemed given that he had yet to be shown feeling any type of remorse for all the things he pulled since he was made King.

** Demonkind in general is treated like this in the second season. After all the trouble and bloodshed they caused during ''Genesis'', some fans couldn't find any reason to feel sympathetic for their kind once Humanity retaliated and conquered them.

*** The second ED animation does nod to it. Where most people are dancing with their respective {{Love Interest}}s, Mugaro and Azazel are dancing ''together'', and mostly apart from the others. It also has a nod to Favaro/Kaisar, seeing as that they're really dancing witb each other while poor Rita is trying to get Kaisar's attention.

Added DiffLines:

* RomanticPlotTumor: If you have not guessed by reading the [[StrangledBytheRedString other]] [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot tropes]] regarding the Charioce/Nina relationship in this page, episode 17 was when many people felt like this about their relationship, given that about half of the episode was devoted to them having a date, when most people would have rather seen what the characters planned to do about the Dromos weapon, Azazel and Mugaro's reunion or at least finding out Charioce's motivation for his deeds as king.
** On Nina's side, people feel like her entire role as a protagonist has been absorbed by her relationship with Charioce, forgetting about her storyline about sympathizing with the plight of the demons, instead having her worrying more about the world hating Charioce (especially when ''everyone'', including a good chunk of the main characters have reasons to do so) or learning about her issues with her transformation, which was of course resolved by her ''finally'' kissing him, her relationship with Charioce basicaly overshadowing almost every other interaction or possible storyline that she has had.

** Charioce XVII's grand plan: [[spoiler:to use a superweapon to take down Bahamut when he returns]]. How does he accomplish this? By making an enemy of both demonkind and the gods by conquering and enslaving them, and stealing their weaponry respectively. ''Both'' of these races along with humans were able to stop Bahamut together, and even then just barely, with many leaders and people being taken out in the process, and this was just more than a decade prior. And Charioce plans on doing it ''alone''.

** Charioce XVII inspires a lot of this, due to his complex nature. Either he's irredeemable because of his actions and policies over the years, with his more human side doing a terrible job of making him more sympathetic, or he's a villainous yet tragic character who's [[IDiWhatIHadToDo doing what he has to as king]] and has to forcibly separate his empathy from his duty.

** Tye second season in general is seen as such. The world building and character interactions are interesting, such as Jeanne's search for her son, the morally complex landscape between races, Nina struggling to control her transformations and her romantic arc with Charioce, but the plot doesn't utilize any of it properly.

* WhatAnIdiot: Azazel is subject to this trope a lot in this series, due to poor planning and impulsiveness stemming from his relative immaturity. For example, his plan to use Nina for an attack against Charioce's forces fails completely because he built the plan with her as the only major cornerstone, didn't come up with alternatives, and assumed that he would be able to keep activating her emotion-based transformations.
