History YMMV / SamonTheSummoner

* FoeYay: There's a lot between Beelzebuth and Anri, mainly due to his borderline obsession with her, which is even {{Lampshaded}} by Nakki. It gets even more apparent when his MotiveRant boils down to how he can't live without her, and reaches critical mass when he [[spoiler: asks her to join him in a political marriage.]]

* SpiritualPredecessor: No pun intended, but the 2019 ''Weekly Jump'' series ''Manga/MitamaSecuritySpiritBusters'' has seen a lot of comparisons to ''Samon'', due to both being gag based, both dealing with the supernatural, the male leads being blue haired exorcists with an usually spiky hairstyle, and their dynamics with the female leads being similar.

* AngelDevilShipping: Samon and Teshigawara, it's pretty obvious which is the devil and which is the angel.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Samon, he'll gleefully admit that he is a selfish person who [[EvilIsPetty makes others miserable for his own amusement,]] but he also has the occasional JerkWithAHeartOfGold moment that can call this into question. It's also notable that most of his dastardly deeds often end up benefitting other people afterwards, though often as an aftereffect.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Kuzuryuu Kai, in series he's TheFriendNobodyLikes to just about everyone except Samon, and is constantly called trash or just ignored by people. In the popularity poll however, he came in third place!

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Teshigawara's little sister, Teshigawara Rin, despire having relaively few appearances was able to come in fifth in the popularity poll.

* MindGameShip: Samon's desire to corrupt Teshigawara into greed can come across as this to some.

** HarsherInHindsight: Makes it woorse with the series' cancellation. All of those "sacrifices" and itself was next 9n the chopping block.

** Does he antagonize Tesshigawara purely because she is "too good", or because he wants her to be more honest with her desires?

* MemeticMutation: It's a common joke to say that Numa had made a DealWithTheDevil to keep his series afloat in ''Jump'', given that ''Samon'' was always near the bottom of the rankings but was kept afloat by the revolving lineup of new series. Even more jokes are made about he demon in question being his ''editor''.
