Fanfic / Christian Humber Reloaded

Go To

"This is a fanfiction (sort of) written by a guy I know. He's not a friend of mine."

As the legend goes, Christian Humber was a typical highly antisocial high school student who was addicted to anime and Video Games of all sorts. One day, those running the boarding school he attended performed an "intervention" (since they didn't approve of students being into those kinds of things), and took away his action figures, anime, computer, and other items. Unjustly deprived of his belongings, Christian took rage any fanboy can sympathize with, channeled it onto paper, and wrote...this.

It's hard to describe the plot of the story, not because it's intricate and involved, but because it's very... sporadic, to put it lightly. The first chapters describe a wolf whose family is killed by hunters, and who is subjected to experiments by scientists. Sort of Rats of NIMH by way of White Fang, you might say. The last chapters describe a cyborg vampire wolf-Saiyan-Demon-Dragon-Horteka armed to the teeth with multiply-apocalyptic superpowers and weapons marching on Washington alongside the father of all vampires, a world-hopping mystic knight, the hero's cyborg shark-man boyfriend, and the hero's half-brother, a miles-long dragon that can control the seasons. How did he get from point A to point B? By murdering billions of demons, monsters, aliens, soldiers, cops, scientists, and innocent bystanders from all across the multiverse.

Christian Humber Reloaded is a very strong contender for "worst fanfic ever written," aided by the fact that, unlike My Immortal, most agree that it is not a parody, stealth or otherwise. The storyline barely has any coherency, the protagonist is absurdly overpowered, the prose is unevocative with terrible grammar and punctuation, and a staggering number of series are butchered by virtue of being jammed into it with no regard to canon. It is so horrible it Crosses the Line Twice into pure, unmitigated awesome not experienced since Manos: The Hands of Fate.

The fanfic is also notable as a case of cyber-bullying. A group of students at the school noticed Christian's writing and one of them pretended to be his friend for the purpose of getting a copy. Being relatively friendless and naively trusting, Humber shared his work with them willingly. The group then proceeded to post it online for the sole purpose of humiliating Humber over the Internet (because, as we all know, Kids Are Cruel and Teens Are Monsters). They were eventually forced by the school to publicly apologize for their harassment, but it was too late by then: they'd already unleashed the monstrous fanfic on us all and the name of Christian Humber had become infamous worldwide. Luckily, their plan backfired, since they are known as assholes while Humber's work has earned cult status for the reasons stated above.

Sadly, this bullying continues today. Humber's family has been harassed by what we must assume to be idiots. The webcomic by NormalMan came to an end after Humber's family filed a complaint (as they thought he was one of the bullies, not understanding that he was a genuine fan of Humber's work), and many videos relating to Christian Humber Reloaded have been taken down. This is why we can't have nice things, people!

Humber has recently revealed that he intended on posting the story eventually, though in his time on the Internet, he has yet to do so and many of his online accounts have gone inactive. More than anything else, the story serves as a very private look into the mind of a troubled youth. In light of his experience with being bullied and victimized by both his peers and adults, the overwhelming power-trip nature of the story becomes easily understandable. It's that "We've all been there" sympathy that helps gives the fanfic a relatable element.

The story, its "autopsy", and its webcomic adaptation can be found here. A second story by the author, Experiment 117, has been recently discovered, though Humber's online accounts have sadly been taken down.

This fanfic contains examples of:

  • Acquired Poison Immunity: Vash becomes immune to tranquilizers after several incidents where they unceremoniously knock him out.
  • All Your Powers Combined: Vash's "sides" seem to exist almost independently of each other, only "stacking" when they are explicitly "united." Goes triply overboard when he can "combine" all of his "sides" as well as engaging all his super modes at once.
  • Anachronism Stew: The stories seem to take place in the modern day of Earth... even though the "modern day" is also concurrent with Starcraft (in the 2500s) and Warhammer 40,000 (in the... 40,000s) and has Halo (in the 2550s) in the apparent past.
  • Anti-Climax: The final battle (So far as everyone knows) is Blade/Vash/Humber/Kibasu battling the villainous mastermind George W Bush and his Corrupted Self ...with ease, and then becomes the de-facto president of America and decides to bog-off to the Farplane.
  • Anti-Hero: Vash is Type V, going after people like criminals with no regard for human life or collateral damage.
  • Arc Words: "Ugly."
  • Artificial Limbs - Vash gets a robotic limb to replace his arm. An arm which already had an Arm Cannon, but then it got cut off. Or maybe the Arm Cannon was on his other arm and now he has two...? It's not really clear.
  • Artistic License – Biology:
  • The Atoner: Vash sometimes works to atone for his crimes, especially late in Part 1, but this is often quickly forgotten about.
  • Author Appeal: Oh, god...
  • Author Catch Phrase: The author often likes to write "and I did" after Vash narrates what he intends to do, and he did.
  • Back from the Dead: Soku near the end of Part 1, who promptly gets killed by Vash when she arrives to take revenge.
  • Big "NO!": Season-Bringer, after Vash's apparent death at the end of Part 2.
  • BFG: From time to time Vash will forgo using his almighty magical swords to fight with completely mundane (albeit military-grade) firearms. These are often patterned after weapons from Doom, but named after bits and pieces from Final Fantasy (e.g. the Thundaga Hellfragger rocket launcher and the Mother of All Guns). He actually used Wing Zero's buster rifles once. Guns fit for a robot the size of the space shuttle.
  • BFS: Tetsume is pretty much a character in its own right, starting out as a katana bought from a store with the bounty money from killing Hitler. It's not surprising that it's broken all the time, to the point where it could qualify as the Butt-Monkey.
  • Boxed Crook: While in prison, Vash is recruited to hunt down convicts.
  • Breather Boss: The ring master, who goes down quite easily, even compared to many of Vashs' other foes, and is not as much of a threat as other villains, is an in-universe example.
  • Captain Ersatz: "Spin" the Hedgehog. Apparently a Sonic-recolor character Christian got permission to use.
  • Children Are Innocent: In this story, all the children appear as helpless victims which had a Morality Pet role for the main character.
  • Colonel Badass: Vash leads the fight with his allies on many occasions, and ends up doing everything due to his insane power level. Particularly notable when he leads the Dark Templars, the Toa, and Season-Bringer against a billion-strong army of Zerg and winds up killing all of them but the Queen of Blades herself.
  • Comic-Book Time: Vash should be pushing 70 by the time the known story ends and is at middle age for much of the story, and he's even older when you factor in he's part wolf, but this is never brought up in-story. Even decades-long time skips leave the world with more-or-less modern technology.
  • Crapsack World: Y'know the setting that gave the birth to GRIMDARK? That's canon in CHR. So is Doom and Starcraft. Halo and its bloody planet-obliterating war went down in the past, despite it still being the modern day somehow. Wolf's Rain and its the-earth-is-literally-dying backstory is in... really, this planet was screwed royally before Vash showed up.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Nearly every fight Vash gets into, partly because the author does not describe them in much detail.
  • Cutscene Incompetence: The only time Vash is ever vulnerable, or able to be beaten, is when the protagonist of a video game would be vulnerable due to cutscene incompetence. Seriously, check 'em out!
  • Death Is Cheap: All of Vashblade's major foes—Kekanu, the Corrupted Self, and the assorted forces of Chaos—are killed and sealed away "forever" repeatedly, but always return. While Kekanu eventually bites the dust permanently, the last two keep on returning, right up to the final fight. This doesn't only apply to his foes; his family is also brought back by Vash going back in time and replacing them with clones.
  • Department of Redundancy Department: "...and I did."
  • Deus ex Machina: In trouble? Start sprouting new superpowers until you're out of it! Sometimes there's a justification, like triggering hidden elemental powers by returning to the arctic or being really angry and popping a superpower blood vessel. Then you have, for example, the incident where he got two different time travel superpowers within a few seconds of each other for no reason. Vagna-Sin shoots him, so suddenly the Mask of Time from Bionicle slaps onto his face allowing him to pause time and dodge it. Vagna-Sin shoots again, blowing his arm off, so the Sands of Time flow into the mask enabling him to reverse time... What?
  • Deus Sex Machina: His Fusions, according to the Autopsy.
  • Disney Death: Vash at the end of Part 2.
  • Disproportionate Retribution:
    • Vash kills a hunter for setting a trap that he stepped in while hunting that did not even harm him because it broke on his leg. To make matters worse, the trap may not have even been intended for him.
    • He also plans to "wipe out (Soku's) entire gene pool" for turning him in to the police. For the record, wiping out her gene pool would involve wiping out the entire human race. Apparently for him it just means killing her extended family.
      • After he gets shot in the shoulder after accidentally teleporting to the Super Bowl, he kills 6 million people just to prove a point about how dangerous angry Horteka are.
  • Don't Try This at Home: Vash, to the Toa, just before jumping into the middle of the Visoraks.
  • Dual Wielding: Miniguns and keyblades.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Vash has trouble being accepted by a wolf pack because they consider him a threat. Soon afterwards, he proves them right (by his own admission) by killing the hunters that killed most of the pack.
  • Establishing Series Moment: The fic initially starts off as a story of a wolf who kills anyone who gets on his bad side, but when said wolf turns into a "Super Sayin," and massacres some raiders, it shows how overpowered the protagonist is.
  • Fate Worse than Death: In Part 3, a police officer who follows Vash through a portal to Metru Nui gets turned into a freak of nature.
  • Forgotten Fallen Friend: Sometimes Vash forgets his parents are supposed to be dead. Or that his friends are supposed to be dead. Or that his father's soul has just been destroyed, seconds after his father dies again, because he's too busy freaking out over the death of freaking Android 16 from DBZ.
  • Forgotten Phlebotinum: For whatever reason Vash either forgets or deliberately fights without his full suite of powers. It's ambiguous as to if the author himself loses track of his powers, or if in-story Vash is smart enough to know that lowballing his fights enables 11th-Hour Superpower excellence.
  • Friend to All Children: Vash at the end of Part I.
  • Full-Frontal Assault: In the web comic, after changing from human form to wolf and back again, Vash's spent several pages fighting in the buff. It's just as horrifyingly hilarious as it sounds.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: "Genius" is debatable, but Vash assembles a few ridiculously overpowered and unlikely firearms to hunt ghouls just because Alucard said it couldn't be done.
  • Gatling Good: Vash wields two miniguns to kill the snobs.
  • Giant Flyer: Season-Bringer can fly despite being several miles long and being impossibly heavy.
  • Godzilla Threshold: Just to remind you, this setting has roving bands of neo-Mongolian raider hordes, the Zerg, the Tyranids, the Flood, the one-and-only Heartless, Fiends born from Unsent dead, and hell-spawned zombies, Freak-Chip-spawned zombies, and flights of genocidal dragons and the Chicagoland gangsters that led them to a life of crime ALL HAPPENING SIMULTANEOUSLY. This is why anyone puts up with Vash at all. Really, just putting up with a few million civilian casualties every few years is downright mild, compared to what would happen if one or all of the above got to tommyknock around unmolested.
  • Gosh Dang It to Heck!: semi-Averted. Throughout most of the story, Humber is perfectly fine with "fuck", "shit", et cetera...but constantly censors the word "bitch". This seems to be because the headmaster of his school was a feminist, and often ranted about how offensive the word was.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: He's a wolf with a "human form", but he's also a Super Saiyan and he seems to be part demon and dragon as well as Hordeka. Chridon is a Megaolodon/human hybrid.
  • Hero Insurance: Vash manages to avoid any consequences for destroying a building to deal with a nuke as part of his convict and terrorist hunting job.
  • Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: Averted, but without the time travel. No, this story does not take place during World War II, Hitler's just there to be assassinated, with no explanation. Bladevash kills Hitler, then kills the man who hired him, then uses the reward money to buy a sword.
  • Idiot Ball: The only reason Vash loses at all is because he's rock bloody stupid. Most evident when he goes from killing an omnipotent incarnation of entropy and being nominated the judge of the dead to getting surprised and poisoned by robot spiders within three paragraphs of either event.
  • Infinity +1 Sword: Tetsume is not only the ultimate sword that can decimate armies, like Vash it continues to level up. By the time the story reaches its midpoint Vash has enough infinity-plus-one swords to outfit the entire cast of any given Suikoden game.
  • Informing the Fourth Wall: Averted. The earliest example is when Vash goes toe-to-toe with a demon dragon which can only be harmed by the Shing-Shingo sword, which in turn can only put it to sleep for a thousand years. What does Vash do? Ram it together with one of his backup swords, which combines both their strengths and none of their weaknesses. Down goes the dragon.
  • Karma Houdini: Vash eventually gets to the point where the police refuse to go after him because of how powerful he is.
  • Large Ham: Vash when he fights his enemies.
  • LEGO Genetics: Literally. Vash is a wolf-saiyan-demon-dragon-Hordeka (from Bionicle, a Lego toyline) who may also have vampire powers and has a quarter-Saiyan dragon half-brother.
  • Lightning Bruiser: Chridon is not only quite strong, but also faster than Vash.
  • Magic A Is Magic A: Vash is more than willing to see what happens when Magic A collides headlong with Magic B, C, D, Sigma, Guymelef...
  • Magic Knight: While more knightly than magical, Vash makes extensive use of supernatural abilities to compliment his melee combat. Kekanu and his family fight bare-handed as well as with magic spells powerful enough to capture Vash.
  • Medieval Stasis: Of a sort. The Earth seems to be stuck at modern tech despite being surrounded by higher-tech aliens, some of them human, as well as being in contact with alternate dimensions with higher or at least more interesting tech.
  • Mega Crossover: In order of introduction: Trigun, Dragon Ball Z, BIONICLE, Sonic the Hedgehog, Dawn of War, Final Fantasy: Unlimited, Inuyasha (in the form of a white Shikon jewel smacking him in the head), Starcraft, Kingdom Hearts, Outlaw Star (via a "Castor" shotgun!), The Matrix (blatantly stealing several action scenes from the first movie), Doom (with weapons renamed after Final Fantasy mainstays), Inu Yasha again (recasting Vash as Inu Yasha), Halo, Wolf's Rain, Mega Man X, Final Fantasy X, Prince of Persia (circa Playstation 2/Xbox), Hellsing, and last and least Street Sharks. That's a total of nineteen different series crossed over, repeatedly. That is, a total of nineteen that the average nerd would recognize. Beyond this there are any number of cliche storylines, plotlines gingerly taken from existing movies and other media, and truly bizarre digressions and statements that may be references to stuff the average Internet jockey can't begin to identify. References can be quite subtle and nearly relentless. Half the challenge is finding a franchise that's NOT been included. In the chapter TRIGGER HAPPINESS TIME he uses a Samurai and an AIMS-20 from 007-Nightfire.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Vash bursts out of a dragon's belly, but then after seeing what he did, he decides to travel to China and kill a dragon demon to purify his heart. In doing so, he kicks off a war
  • Negative Continuity: His parents die in the first few sentences, but they come back in the second chapter without so much as a nod to the beginning of the story. Yet, later on, they're dead again! ...sometimes! Not to mention his dead-sort-of-demon wolf-brother... thing.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: Sometimes even when the plot doesn't demand it. Memorably, Vash once read a prophecy in the sky predicting a "hero of light" would stomp some heartless monsters about ten seconds before someone phoned him about a bunch of Heartless in need of a hero to stomp 'em. Whaaaaa
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: While the "hero" part is questionable, Vash wasn't expecting that killing the demon dragon would start the Ying-Yang War.
  • No Ending:The story simply stops rather than ending. There's a final battle of sorts against the president, but it feels like an ending to a story arc rather than to the fic as a whole.
  • No Hugging, No Kissing: Vash-Blade doesn't seem to have any sort of sex drive or romantic inclinations despite vaguely hinting that he had a fling with a couple of girls in the past. One of whom was a little Japanese girl.
  • No Name Given: The little girl and her father. He later meets up with another little girl and her father, but this time, the girl's name is revealed to be Soku.
  • Noodle Incident: Tons, including several that we are hypothetically witnessing. Usually invoked to explain why the Queen of Blades has his number or why Vash has Zero (from Megaman X)'s old armor.
  • Offstage Villainy: It's hard to tell how evil most of the villains are by how they're portrayed in the fic, since they do little except fight Vash.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Vash himself. He wipes out whole planets as part of a battle with the forces of Chaos, what he calls the "System Destruction Technique."
  • Our Dragons Are Different - Several dragons, including Season-Bringer, show up with various powers. Vash turns into a dragon from the end of Part 5 to the beginning of Part 6. Also, male dragons can become pregnant.
  • Playing with Syringes: The origin of Chridon and Vash's convenient telepathy. And the origin of Christian Humber himself, at the behest of George W. Bush.
  • Police Are Useless: The police are at worst an annoyance for Vash, and the only reason he got arrested for destroying Soku's village was because he turned himself in. The police also failed to catch the evil ring master for 19 years.
  • Power Dyes Your Hair: Vash's hair turns "white-silver-blue color" in his Chaos Hunter Form.
  • President Evil: The last enemy Vash fights is the President of the United States.
  • Protagonist-Centered Morality: Quite often. Any slight against Vash is considered as being worthy of his retribution, which tends to involve killing the perpetrators and often, everyone related to them.
  • The Quincy Punk: Vash's general attitude toward life. The generic "punk" style also shows up as the costume of choice for several of his alt modes: "he was wearing tattered chain paints, a torn black T-shirt, no shoes, a torn leather jacket, one ear pierced and he had a spiked necklace on..."
  • Rated M for Manly: It's a troubled teenager showing off his anger, what else were you expecting?
  • Red Shirt Army: The Imperial Guard of Warhammer 40,000 launch a direct attack on the Eye Of Terror!
  • Repulsive Ringmaster: One minor villain is a ringmaster in charge of an illegal circus where mythical creatures are treated cruelly. He, a normal human armed with a shotgun, tries to force Vash to hand over Season-Bringer, with predictable results.
  • Rouge Angles of Satin: Nigh-constantly, and in fact, directly:
    "Not even God and Satin could stop me."
  • Scaled Up: Vash turns into a dragon at the end of Part 5, a form that he must learn how to control.
  • Science Is Bad: Scientists killed his family. Vash later clarifies that he only hates science when it inconveniences him and doesn't like being experimented on, as he has no problem with cybernetic limbs and nuclear weapons.
  • Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale
    • Season-Bringer is probably the most egregious use, but any time numbers are used counts. This goes both absurdly high and absurdly low. Season-Bringer is 22 miles long, yet somehow weighs as much as the United States (including the continent it's built on!), and in spite of that ridiculous size and mass "only" needs a few million tons of flesh and bone to sustain himself. Somehow he can still fit in a two-man spaceship.
    • After Vash defeats the demon dragon cursing China, "all of China"- well over a billion people- comes out to congratulate him. On a somewhat lesser scale, about six million people attend the Super Bowl.
  • Self-Destructive Charge: Kekanu's family after Kithongo perishes in battle.
  • Self-Insert Fic: Some reports claim the author thought it was his real life.
  • Shotguns Are Just Better: Even with all his magical and futuristic weapons and inherent abilities, Vash uses a seemingly ordinary shotgun surprisingly often.
  • Shoulder Cannon: One is mounted on Chridon.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Slobs Versus Snobs: Later in the story, Vash and company descend on a party thrown by some "rich snobs" who are never seen acting snobbish. Vash and company kill all of them, plus their hundreds of guards, and inflict over a trillion dollars (U.S. dollar or Spiran Gil?) of property damage. All in a day's work.
  • Sociopathic Hero: Vash definitely fits, considering how many people he kills without a hint of remorse.
  • Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Zig-zagged. Vash starts out killing scientists, hunters, raiders and dog fighting ring owners before progressing to enemies that could destroy entire worlds or universes, but from time to time, ends up facing relatively ordinary opponents.
  • Special Guest: A few characters, like Alucard from Hellsing, Android 16 from Dragon Ball Z, most of the cast of Final Fantasy X, and Zero from Megaman X, appear as what can only be described as guest stars in the ongoing story of Vash. Some just show up to deliver a few lines, hand over their iconic equipment/power, and leave (e.g. the Prince from Prince of Persia shows up to inform Vash that he's just absorbed the Sands of Time and then get freaked out by Sin's skin flakes attacking him and Vash).
  • Stupid Evil: Vash's taking Seymour and Yunalesca out of the Farplane, torturing them and leaving them not quite dead. Since he tends to fight to stop villains most of the time (if only because he thinks he's the only one allowed to kill people), this doesn't make sense for any of his goals. He also gets captured when he goes to check up on and laugh at the cop he turned into a freak of nature.
  • Superpowered Evil Side: The Corrupted Self, in theory, is Vash's "shadow" torn free and set loose. Vash himself is just one massive superpowered evil side, though, as most of his powers are described as "unstable" or incapable of being controlled, and yet he uses them without any regard to consequences.
  • Super Mode: Vash has more superpowered modes than anybody in their right mind would ever need. On the low end, he can transform into any of his component "sides," ranging from a normal wolf to a Hordeka all the way to becoming a dragon or, most commonly, a Super Saiyan. He gains new super modes at the drop of a hat, extending to Kingdom Hearts' drive forms to Digimon's "ultimate" and "mega" evolutions. Most nightmarishly, he can stack super modes.
  • Sword and Gun: Vash commonly wields Tetsume and the Magun together.
  • That Came Out Wrong: "I killed her and if I let her live she would tell the people who are after me that I have a thing for children." Said to a bunch of little kids.
  • Theme Music Power-Up: Invoked by Vash, who occasionally "sets his theme song" in anticipation of ass-kickings to come.
  • There Is No Kill Like Overkill "I was Vash to give chaos a whole new meaning of the word 'Overkill'".
  • This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself: Vash is told to stay out of the Toa's fight with the leader of the Visoraks, and does so until he sees them losing.
  • Threatening Shark: Chridon is apparently a shark creature that is twelve feet tall and his power is comparable to Vash.
  • Time Skip: Vash would just skip 5.. 10.. 20 years at a time, completely circumventing recovery from whatever might beset him and allowing him to throw in even more of whatever as the plot demands.
  • Time Travel: He then proceeds to mess up history with little to no consequences for his actions, and comes even more powerful for it. His judicious use of cloning technology still keeps a wide-open plot hole for several important events, unsurprisingly.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Vash's dog arena handler, who reaches in to pet him despite having raised him as a vicious fighting dog.
  • Took a Level in Badass: Vash takes several over the course of the plot, starting out as an ordinary wolf before gaining several transformation powers, as well as several powerful and magical weapons. Sora gets some of Vash's power when Vash heals his injures.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: Vash kills more and more people for no good reason as the story goes on despite initially killing only those who threatened him.
  • Training from Hell: His training with the Toa, which includes being weighed down with the heaviest metal (which NormalMan notes is the incredibly unmasculine Osmium). Vash inflicts this on himself when need be, training in such places as the center of a black hole and the Otherworld. Briefly inverted when he trains in the Farplane—training from Heaven, as it were.
  • Troperiffic: Christian Humber Reloaded is every trope from every series crossed over (except for the huggy kissy girly parts) stacked on top of each other and thickly iced with sheer batshit insanity to create a layer cake of literary terror.
  • Unstoppable Rage: Part of his powering-up procedure is to GO INSANE AND LOSE CONTROL OF HIS ACTIONS!
  • Villainous BSoD: When Season-Bringer tells Vash that they're half-brothers, Vash has an inexplicable breakdown when he insists that his whole family is dead.
  • Waking Up Elsewhere: Twice near the beginning, first in the village, then the Toa. This happens to him a lot, as his more epic battles tend to leave Vashblade arbitrarily hyper-damaged and thus in need of recuperation. For example, he wakes up in: the little girl and her father's house, in the Toa's hut, in the hospital after the Kekanu fight, in the arctic wolves' caverns twice in a row, in heaven after killing the Eye of Terror, in the care of the Past Matorin after getting Horteka'd, in Area 51 after taunting the cop he mutated, in Dead Humber Cave after getting de-cursed by Kagone, in the super evil lab after getting caught with the rest of the cast of Wolf's Rain, in the Farplane after defeating his Corrupted Self, and in Chridon's hut after re-re-killing the Eye of Terror.
  • Wanton Cruelty to the Common Comma: On a massive level. There are periods where there are supposed to be Commas, Commas where there are supposed to be periods, a case where he put down didn't', forgetting to add a comma, a question mark where there's supposed to be a !, and forgetting to Capitalize.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Vash is vulnerable to paralysis magic. That's right, he's weak against a Useless Useful Spell!
  • World of Weirdness: The entire universe has a bad case of the crazies.
  • Writers Cannot Do Math: Vash kills six million people at Super Bowl XXXXII, even though fewer than 100,000 people attend most Super Bowls.
  • Year Inside, Hour Outside: The Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Vash has 10 days before the start of the Ying-Yang war, so he uses the chamber to train for 10 years.

Tropes associated with the webcomic

  • Orphaned Series: The author of the webcomic stopped work on it after the first chapter of the second part on the request of Humber and his family.
