* MagnificentBastard: [[PowersThatBe Billy Bat]] himself is a [[AnimalisticAbomination ancient alien entity]] that crashed on Earth on the past and got divided into three beings, one of them sealed on the moon. Making contact with humanity [[HistoricalRapSheet since prehistory]], the Bats manipulate humans into their plans by using chosen artists and representations of himself. Initially granting wishes to humans and causing the destruction of worlds doing so, Billy wants to stop humanity from asking for another wish, knowing that such an act would be the last. Manifesting himself to comic book artist Kevin Yamagata and other humans, Billy uses their desires to fulfill his goal to protect Kevin Goodman, while also showing that the humans that he used got what they really desired. When the original Billy is persecuted by Chuck Culkin Enterprises in their attempt to replace him for a false version, the real Billy protects his chosen artists, managing to buy time for the world in the process. Failing to prevent 9/11 and the inevitable downfall of civilization, Billy finally merges back into a complete being and says goodbye to Kevin Goodman--having shared a life together--and tells him to [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture "keep drawing"]].

* HarsherInHindsight: In the manga's BadFuture the US's boarder wall needs defending by ''the entire military'', climate change is wrecking havoc on the environment, the EU collapses due to being swamped by refugees, and China is at war with Japan. In real life UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump is elected president (one of his pledges is to build a wall between the US and Mexico) and his appointee to head the Environmental Protection Agency is a climate-change denier who tried to sue the agency, European politics is leaning towards the right due to the refugee issue, and China is building military installations on their artificial islands.

* NightmareFuel - When Kevin and the Momochis reach Koumori village [[spoiler: the place has gone insane. The villagers have been digging up holes in the middle of the night, and the sight of dozens of mud-covered locals crawling out of the holes and shambling toward their car is capped off by finding [[LaserGuidedKarma Henry Charles Devivie strung up.]]]]
* TearJerker / [[spoiler:and CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming]] - The story of the bride, groom, and taxi driver. (sniff) Even the {{Narm}}y abrupt transition to the ninja story arc can't damp its impact.
