Line #3 YMMV/QED - TV Tropes


1	* FridgeHorror:
2	** Had [[spoiler:Eva Sukta]] not destroyed Sou Touma's thesis (which is implied to be about Riemann hypothesis) in the past, and had Kana not called out Sou's name when he was about to retrieve Professor Refla's paper draft in "Another World", big chance Sou would turn into a MadMathematician obsessed with solving Riemann hypothesis and wreck his own life.
3	** Advanced AI can easily be misused and even exploited to benefit one side at the cost of other sides. "Jacob's Ladder" and "Drowning Bird" from ''iff'' are two examples of this
4	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Or in this case, {{UsefulNotes/Indonesia}} Loves Motohiro Kato. His three manga, including Q.E.D., are printed fully in Indonesia and ''iff.'' manga volumes are still being released. His writing stories with Bali as the setting also helps.
5	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: When So Touma meets [[spoiler: [[FakingTheDead his thought-to-be-dead implied first love, Annie Craner]]]] again after 5 years. And when Kana found him after that.
6	* JerkassWoobie: ''iff.'''s "Posthumous Letter" has it's focus character [[spoiler:crying in a video will after he was ordered by his yakuza boss to kill himself in an influential person's home to help the person backing the group out of peer pressure because he wants to live with his girlfriend and her son]]. While the man himself is violent and downright abusive toward his pal as he assaulted his pair to the point of ruptured kidney because of his blind loyalty to the yakuza, he truly loves his girlfriend and her son. [[spoiler:The girlfriend's tears]] mostly sells the woobie part though.
7	* NightmareFuel: The murder method on Q.E.D. iff.'s ''Doppelganger'', in which the victims were [[spoiler:made to see their ''skinned head'' while suffering major blood loss. The chapter didn't even show the killer proper, leaving everything mysterious and creepy]].
8	* TearJerker:
9	** In Chapter 10, a girl suffering from tuberculosis is forced to work as fake clairvoyant to a corrupt professor in order to obtain medicine. When the scam is exposed, the professor fled the country with all her money.
10	** Another story reveals in the end that a young child murdered his own father because he'd ended up believing the vicious but false rumors people had spread about the father marrying his mother for money then murdering her.
11	** Sou Touma is not the type to show his weakness to others. He didn't look upset when he got bullied back then in MIT, he didn't even cry when his thesis was destroyed. But one episode shows Annie, a young American prosecutor Sou befriended, got shot by a crazed cultist after winning a difficult and emotionally demanding trial. That event heavily traumatized Sou, and the episode is noteworthy as the only moment where Sou was shown crying.
12	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Implication that [[spoiler: Sou actually finished his college without a thesis]] is not discussed again after its case, although it can give a distinct characterization to Sou. The story about Riemann's hypothesis gives a subtle hint that Sou used to do research about said theory, but as far as the story progresses, there is no clear explanation about why Sou decided to not redo his thesis after [[spoiler:Eva Sukta]] destroyed it, even though he was completely able to do so.
