* CerebusSyndrome: [[spoiler: With the ''utter destruction'' of the US Capitol Building,]] King Radical jumped from "wacky alternate universe savior" to "brutal terrorist", and dragged the series into a very dark, very scary new light.
** Made even scarier if you think about it due to the fact that he's clearly done and is still doing all of this damage and harm and yet nobody but the Doc cares. Sure, it's obvious the Doc has a personal beef with him, but even when it's made obvious that he's doing bad things, the Doc's grudge is still portrayed as him simply being obsessed with taking Radical down and nobody else takes it seriously. [[spoiler: He's threatened people, used blackmail, turned an entire city into a giant robot thus killing who knows how many people and causing who knows how much property damage, killed even MORE people using them as as personal portals to summon his subjects from the Radical Lands--which reasonably could very well have only been dying off because his obvious racism and prejudice against all that is "uncool" seriously ticked off certain folks who are fully capable of fighting back, initiated a number of plans to kill the President, and now effectively killed off any other power in the government that could have held him in check.]] And how do the people respond to these very obvious and very dangerous actions? They think he's awesome.

* JerkAssWoobie: King Radical. He just wants to make the world a cooler place, and when he talks to Dr. [=McLuchador=][[spoiler:/[=McNinja=]]] about Radical Land, you can almost ''feel'' the longing in the text. ''Almost'' had another example in a recent comic when [[spoiler: Herschel explodes]] and looks terrified, but is overjoyed by his replacement.

** The creators celebrate anniversaries for the comic by having something awful happen to [[TheChewToy Doc]], such as having "HAPPY FIRST ANNIVERSARY DR. MCNINJA!" written on a page that has Doc being gunned down by a group of assassins.

* AGoodNameForARockBand: The Nasaghasts.

** Kaiju Ghost Battle

* TearJerker: Has [[TearJerker/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja its own page]].

* WhatAnIdiot: The president landing Marine One on the Radbot's hand and not even bothering to keep it running just in case Rad should decide to...you know...move the hand. This even lampshaded in the alt-text. Similarly, assuming that King Radical would be willing to hand over the Radbot in exchange for a simple case of Mountain Dew Code Red. To be fair, Radical didn't actually go back on his word, that just doesn't mean he'll stop Ron from doing it for him.

** Is Doc a hero, a villain, or a WellIntentionedExtremist? He kills without mercy (and often unnecessarily) and opposes King Radical out of what is clearly a personal vendetta as opposed to plain heroism. Of course, it turns out that he's right about King Rad having nefarious plans.

* TearJerker: In the middle of the weirdness and hilarity, we get [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/17p60 this.]] Holy shit, [[spoiler: Mongo.]]
** And now [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/21p47/ this]].
** [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/11p38/ Here,]] Mitzi misses with both sais at ridiculously short range. She cannot bring herself to kill her own son, [[FateWorseThanDeath even if his soul has been devoured by the ghost wizard.]] (Happily, it has not.)
** [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/26p48/ The death of]] [[spoiler:Herschel]].

** Doc and Hortense.

** [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/26p48/ This could count]], especially if[[spoiler: you grew attached to the lovable goon. Poor Herschel...]]

** The title character shows moments of being somewhat mentally unbalanced, but always in ridiculously cool ways. For instance, in one arc he is inspired to go rescue his estranged family from a shipload of pirates by a talking roast turkey, who explicitly tells him that it's an illusion. In the next arc, he attempts to find out how a Velociraptor got into his office by busting through a skylight in a warehouse and accosting some random burly types, because his decision-making process is based on "What Would Batman Do?" He comes by this honestly, as his father's favorite way of evading pursuit is to [[IncendiaryExponent set himself on fire]], because, "They can't grab me if I'm on fire." It's gotten to the point where Dr. [=McNinja=] is now its god in the [[Pantheon/TropePantheons Pantheon]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Doc a hero, a villain, or a WellIntentionedExtremist? Is King Radical an AntiVillain, a hero, or a VillainWithGoodPublicity? [[spoiler: The 'King Radical's Court' and 'All The Kings Dirtbikes' arc seemingly confirm him as the last. He's bent on merging the universe with his radical land, killing people he deems 'boring' or 'jerks'. So far, he's only tried it on people that the Alt Text says have done crimes too heinous to mention in the comic, but there is no indication he will stop there. With the death of Mr. Andrews, who was just a cranky, lonely, sick man, it becomes almost impossible to justify his radness' scheme. ]]
** Toward the end of 'All The King's Dirtbikes', it's revealed [[spoiler: that King Radical the Radical Universe's Chuck Goodrich. So it's possible he was doing this to prevent the destruction of his own universe. So it's a bit more of a grey area]]
