* CatharsisFactor: While it’s frustrating that [[spoiler:Tatsugaura still won the election even after all that he had done]], him being subjected to a KarmicTransformation via Monmow Disease (and after all that he had done trying to suppress Kirihito’s research into it) is pretty damn satisfying.
** [[spoiler: Mahn]], who was an [[HateSink absolutely deplorable character all throughout]], also falls victim to Monmow Disease.
* JerkassWoobie: Urabe is a well-intentioned friend of Kirihito who is attempting to right the wrong that resulted in his TraumaCongaLine as well as his being made into an {{Unperson}}. Unfortunately, he is severely mentally ill and a SerialRapist, to the point of impregnating a woman. When he finishes the work he's required to do, he throws himself into a car, feeling unfit to live with the person he is.
* {{Squick}}: The manga can be a TraumaCongaLine not just for Kirihito but the reader too, with how it features things like:
** Monmow Disease, a (thankfully) fictional illness that gradually changes a person’s anatomy into something less and less human as time goes on. Imagine your bones atrophying to accommodate a doglike body structure, and not only that, the change happening ''slowly''. The patient would also be unable to eat almost anything save for raw meat, making them even more doglike. If the illness doesn’t kill you, then the toll it takes on your mental state probably will, as it nearly does to Kirihito multiple times.
** A baby being EatenAlive by a snake, though thankfully, [[CensoredChildDeath we don’t witness the process itself]].
** [[spoiler: Kirihito]] being ''[[BestialityIsDepraved raped by a literal bitch]]''. This rather understandably, brings him to one of his lowest points.
** [[spoiler: Reika]] dying via a [[CruelAndUnusualDeath human tempura trick gone horribly wrong]], which means essentially being deep fried.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Urabe can be this to some, given how even though he’s a loyal friend to Kirihito [[UndyingLoyalty through and through]], he’s still a SerialRapist who assaults not only his friend’s girlfriend but also the woman he claims to love. Though interestingly, Urabe himself seems aware of it, and it’s likely the reason why he ends up comitting suicide by throwing himself at a speeding car.
** Reika can also be this to some extent, given that she had [[spoiler: previously raped those considered “freaks” after offering them false hope, doing the same to Kirihito]]. Though she does actually help him later on.
* TheWoobie: Kirihito goes through the absolute worst torture a human can experience for an entire year and half just so [[spoiler: his boss could have a better chance at winning the election.]] He becomes broken enough to become a JerkassWoobie for a period of time but course-corrects.
