History YMMV / Speedgrapher

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Pretty much any villain the show tries to make sympathetic, simply because of how ''[[MoralEventHorizon far]]'' they go, how many of their crimes tend to be completely unnecessary, how little (if any) remorse they show for said crimes, and how their reasons for their actions come off as utter {{Wangst}}, especially in proportion to their deeds. Suitengu's supposed to be pitied because his sister died years ago, despite the fact that he murdered a man who owed him as little as ten yen and leaves his fresh corpse in front of his son, which is implied to be regular business for him, and uses Kagura as a semi-SexSlave in his club [[note]]While he does invoke EvenEvilHasStandards against making her actually have sex, he still forces her to have make-out sessions, which he does as a NecessaryEvil, but then, he doesn't show any remorse for it, either[[/note]], and [[TheBadGuyWins completely destroys Japan’s economy]], which will likely [[AMillionIsAStatistic screw over millions of innocent people]]. That this is [[EsotericHappyEnding portrayed as a happy ending]] does not help. Meanwhile, Shinzen's supposed to be pitied because her husband ran out on her when she was pregnant, and because she, while still absolutely ''[[GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave gorgeous]]'', is very, very slowly losing her looks, despite the fact that [[AbusiveParents she humiliates, hits, and starves her own daughter]], and allows Suitengu to use her in his club, in her case seemingly believing she's being used for sex and only takes issue with the possibility that Suitengu himself was sleeping with her, and only out of jealousy's sake. Ginza's the most Egregious example of all. She's supposed to be pitied because... her boyfriend doesn't want to bang her despite the fact that she [[MoralEventHorizon gives Kagura back to her abusers, then abducts and ''rapes'' Saiga several times,]] feeling sorry for ''[[ItsAllAboutMe herself]]'' as she does so. And apparently the audience is [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale meant to feel the same.]]

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Episode 20, the AuthorTract and WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief both went off the rails.

[[HumansAreBastards Humans are uniformly response-stimulus machines]], and even our hero isn't exempt from that.

** Ginza started as a pretty violent CowboyCop who had a habit of killing [[AssholeVictim deserving criminals]] she came across and tried to blackmail Saiga into sleeping with her. Disturbing stuff overall, but made less cringeworthy as it could've been given the deaths were played for dark laughs, and Saiga wasn't especially bothered by her blackmail and got the better of her anyway. However... it becomes clear she has a very unhealthy obsession with Saiga and eventually trades Kagura to her abusive mother in return for "keeping" him. She then proceeds to hit him with her car, repeatedly ''rape'' him while he's unconscious while questioning why "she's not good enough for him",([[SarcasmMode How her plight tugs at the heartstrings...]]) and lock him up until he decides to be with her. Later on, the show attempted a HeelRealization, but most would say it was just a ''little'' too late for her to realize her treatment of an innocent girl and of course her little rape sessions were wrong.

** Ginza started as a pretty violent CowboyCop who had a habit of killing [[AssholeVictim(deserving)criminals]] she came across and tried to blackmail Saiga into sleeping with her. Disturbing stuff overall, but made less cringeworthy as it could've been given the deaths were played for dark laughs, and Saiga wasn't especially bothered by her blackmail and got the better of her anyway. However... it becomes clear she has a very unhealthy obsession with Saiga and eventually trades Kagura to her abusive mother in return for "keeping" him. She then proceeds to hit him with her car, ''rape'' him while he's unconscious while questioning why "she's not good enough for him",([[SarcasmMode How her plight tugs at the heartstrings...]]) and lock him up until he decides to be with her. Later on, the show attempted a HeelRealization, but most would say it was just a ''little'' too late for her to realize her treatment of an innocent girl and of course her little rape session was wrong.

** [[DirtyCop Chief Ekoda]] is the head of the Tokyo Police Department, who hides a secret fetish: He has a thing for legs. In fact, while a member of Suitengu's Roppongi Club, Ekoda took the chance to satisfy his feitshes by kidnapping women, holding them hostage and then cutting their legs off before preserving them as trophies, molesting and killing the women himself. His first two victims were his own wife and daughter. Later in the series, Ekoda kidnaps [[DarkActionGirl Ginza Hibari]] and tries to do the same to her before she frees herself. Ekoda is set apart by being a [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters completely human monster]], and his insane excesses make even the hardened Ginza [[HeelRealization reevaluate everything she had done to this point]].
