In the music video for "Cancer" we see a little girl cut off a very large amount of her hair and give it to her brother, who had just come home from a bout of chemotherapy.chemotherapy.
** "Welcome to The Black Parade", in its own sense. The song ''begins'' with the Narrator's father asking him if he'll be a savior, the chorus repeats that even if the listener is dead and gone, [[PassingTheTorch their memory will live on]], and later there's a cheer for "all the broken".

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [[https://youtu.be/CfUgBbuSTPQ YouTuber Wendigoon proposed the idea]] that, while the basics of the standard theory are true, Death is also a character that expresses themself through the songs, with the tracks going back and forth between them and the dying cancer patient in non-chronological order.

Example was blatantly shoehorned - The Black Parade is still well-regarded to this day.


* OvershadowedByControversy: ''Kinda'', but ''The Black Parade'' was overshadowed by new sites like The Daily Mail accusing the band of encouraging the "emo subculture" with suicide after a fan of theirs took her life and other [[MisaimedFandom hardcore fans]] followed ''The Black Parade'''s themes ala cult-like mentality. [[{{Understatement}} The band wasn't amused]].

** However, most of the songs seem to be from the dying patient's perspective. The context of these lyrics is different if [[HeroicSelfDeprecation the patient is saying these things to himself.]] If you look at it that way, it's much sadder, as it sounds like he's trying to tell himself that he sucked in life and has convinced himself that nobody should miss him too much when he's gone.
** The Black Parade itself seems to recall a happy memory, but the actual parade itself is grim and bleak, with the marching band dressed in full black and the procession carrying creepy standards.

* ToughActToFollow: ''The Black Parade'' was such a big success for the band, that the later album ''Danger Days'' was a bit of an uphill battle for the band to top. While ''Danger Days'' is still beloved by fans, critics didn't see it in par with the band's other works. Not to mention ''The Black Parade'' was the final album to feature the band having a concrete drummer, as they would struggle with finding a suitable drummer before their eventual break up.

** The abrupt end of opening track "The End" is also a little creepy, especially since it's a song about dying.

* CompleteMonster: Mulciber.
* EvilIsSexy: Belial is quite a looker in both his human forms. Mulciber as well.
* FoeYay: Jordan and Belial’s relationship is overflowing with this. Belial also lampshades the potential for this between himself and Michael.
* FridgeBrilliance: Belial’s nickname for Jordan “my pet” isn’t just something he calls her to annoy her. In his mind, he doesn’t consider her to be his equal and so she is rather like a pet of some sort.
* IronWoobie: Jordan, so much. Michael is a close second.
* NightmareFuel: Demons can inhabit as many different bodies as they want to so you never know where they are until it’s too late. Your dreams aren’t safe either.
