History YMMV / TogainuNoChi

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Some fans feel this way about the visual novel due to the sheer darkness of the plot, with almost no light-hearted moments to dilute it.

* EvilIsSexy: [[spoiler: Nymphomaniac!Akira]]. He only appears in one bad ending, but most fans unanimously see him as this.

* MostAnnoyingSound: Some of the BGM tracks, before one gets used to them.

** The soundtrack of the anime adaptation also counts, particularly its opening and ending themes. Many fans have unanimously stated that it is the ''only'' good thing about the anime.

* RonTheDeathEater: In the English-speaking fandom, Keisuke is often seen as pathetic and weak compared to other members of the cast.

* TheWoobie: Everyone in the cast -- with the exceptions of Emma, Gwen, the Vischio, and Shiki -- counts somewhat as this.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Some fans feel this way toward the visual novel due to the sheer darkness of the plot, with almost no light-hearted moments to dilute it.

** Apparently over in Japan, Keisuke x Akira is very popular among the fans.

** Because of his DracoInLeatherPants status, it will probably be ignored, but [[spoiler: Shiki crossed it when he killed Keisuke, who was trying to protect Akira]].

** [[spoiler: And don't forget that one ending with the screwdriver rape!]]

** In the game, the majority of the routes typically has at least one of Akira's potential love interests die. [[spoiler: Keisuke dies in every route but his, Rin and Nano dies in Shiki's route, Shiki dies in Rin's and Nano's route, etc.]]

** The soundtrack of the anime adaptation also counts, particularly its opening and ending themes. Many fans have unanimously stated that it is the only good thing about the anime.

** Shiki. He may not be an outright villain, but even in his best paths, he's still a raping murder machine. That doesn't stop the fangirls from creaming over him. He does literally have leather pants, though. [[{{Zipperiffic}} With zippers.]]

** The Executioners-especially Gunji-have also gained a lot of popularity despite only having one (bad) ending each and not much involvement in the storyline besides that.

* FashionVictimVillain: Arbitro wears a mask, a red shirt with a bright green tie under a white suit... not to mention a ''purple feather boa''. [[LampshadeHanging Several characters comment on this.]]

** Because of his DracoInLeatherPants status, it will probably be ignored, but [[spoiler: Shiki crossed it when he killed Keisuke who was trying to protect Akira.]]

* NeverLiveItDown: The [[spoiler: screwdriver rape]]. Not that it's hard to see why though.

** One of the endings has [[spoiler:Keisuke ripping out Akira's guts while proclaiming that he loves Akira. He's also sporting a look that seems similar to an orgasm.]]

** Admit it, [[spoiler: you thought that when Keisuke accidentally got Akira's blood on him, you thought he died.]]

** In the game, the majority of the routes typically has at least one of Akira's potential love interests die. [[spoiler: Keisuke dies in every route but his, Rin and Nano dies in Shiki's route,Shiki dies in Rin's and Nano's route, etc.]]

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Some fans feel this way toward TnC due to the sheer darkness of the plot, with almost no light-hearted moments to dilute it.

** The anime Shiki however subverts this trope due to too many KickTheDog moments that go straight into the MoralEventHorizon territory.

* FashionVictimVillain: Arbitro wears a mask, a red shirt with a bright green tie under a white suit...not to mention a ''purple feather boa''. [[LampshadeHanging Several characters comment on this.]]

* TheWoobie: Everyone in the cast-with the exceptions of Emma , Gwen, the Vischio, and Shiki-counts somewhat as this.

* UnfortunateImplications: The only character who is still explicitly into guys in the anime adaptation is the DepravedHomosexual.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Due to the grim setting and backstory of the game. Is Akira a brooding anti-hero or dark and apathetic due to his upbringing as a child soldier? Is Keisuke a spineless wimp or does he have reason to act like he does? Is Arbirtro a CompleteMonster or simply doing what he can to survive in a CrapsackWorld?
* CompleteMonster: Arbirtro, with his odd hobbies and how he treats Akira if he is captured.
** The Executioners as well, considering they'll often rape/kill participants even if they did nothing to break the rules.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The whole soundtrack.

** Shiki. He may not be an outright villain, but even in his best paths, he's still a raping murder machine. That doesn't stop the fangirls from creaming over him. He does literally have leather pants, though. [[EverythingsBetterWithZippers With zippers.]]

* RonTheDeathEater: In the English-speaking fandom, Keisuke is often seen as pathetic and weak compared to other members of the cast.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The whole soundtrack.

* TheWoobie: Everyone in the cast-with the exceptions of Emma , Gwen, the Vischio, and Shiki-counts somewhat as this.

* CompleteMonster:
** The Executioners. Even though they're only supposed to go after participants who break the rules, they'll still kill [[spoiler:or rape]] someone if they feel like it.
** Also Arbirtro, with his odd hobbies and how he treats Akira if he is captured.

** Happens near the beginning as well. Akira comes upon two people having sex. One of them [[BrainBleach Is.]] [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel Not.]] [[ILoveTheDead Moving.]]

** Shiki x Akira easily beats all other pairings in the English-speaking fandom. Granted, it is not more or less canon than any other pairing in the series.

* CompleteMonster: The Executioners. Even though they're only supposed to go after participants who break the rules, they'll still kill [[spoiler:or rape]] someone if they feel like it.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Shiki. He may not be an outright villain, but even in his best paths, he's still a raping murder machine. That doesn't stop the fangirls from creaming over him. He does literally have leather pants, though. [[EverythingsBetterWithZippers With zippers.]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: In the game, Shiki appears much less often than most of the main cast yet [[strike: probably]] has more fangirls than all the other characters combined.

* FanNickname: Kurosuke for [[spoiler: Yandere Keisuke]].

* FanPreferredCouple: Shiki x Akira easily beats all other pairings in the English-speaking fandom. Granted, it is not more or less canon than any other pairing in the series.

* MoralEventHorizon: Because of his DracoInLeatherPants status, it will probably be ignored, but [[spoiler: Shiki crossed it when he killed Keisuke who was trying to protect Akira.]]

* {{Squick}}: One of the endings has [[spoiler:Keisuke ripping out Akira's guts while proclaiming that he loves Akira. He's also sporting a look that seems similar to an orgasm.]]

* TearJerker: Admit it, [[spoiler: you thought that when Keisuke accidentally got Akira's blood on him, you thought he died.]]

* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Nano]] especially in Shiki's route.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The whole soundtrack, though {{YMMV}}.

* TheWoobie: Everyone in the cast-with the exceptions of Emma (YMMV, though), Gwen, the Vischio, and Shiki-counts somewhat as this.

* CharacterDerailment: Shiki in the anime. While he was a BastardBoyfriend with many KickTheDog moments, he would never stoop so low as he did in the anime. [[spoiler: Murdering Keisuke and then stabbing your own younger brother in the knee just to spite Akira is taking it too far. And then losing yourself to Line is too out of character for him. See Karma Houdini.]]
** Akira also suffers from this at the end of the anime. [[spoiler: See {{Hypocrite}} below.]]

* {{Discontinuity}}: The [[AdaptationDecay anime]], especially the ending, has been officially disowned by a lot of fans of the game.
