These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Complete Monster: Every other monk of the Faustian Cult has a valid reason for being a part of it, but it's pretty obvious that Vlad's only in it for the thrill of maiming and killing people.
Although Dibi didn't place in the popularity poll, he has had the honor of spawning the comic's very first meme. (See Memetic Mutation below)
Natsuki, who'd only made four appearances up to that point, all short and unimportant, made it into the top 3 on the first character popularity poll. A position Diablo himself couldn't make. I repeat, Natsuki was more popular than the main character during the first year.
Jack, who hasn't been mentioned since the third chapter, is apparently up there with Carl and Michiko in terms of popularity.
Genius Bonus: Diablo makes a pun about swordplay being his "forte" in an omake strip. The "forte" is the base of a blade in fencing terminology.
Hilarious in Hindsight: The omake strip parodying Sassy Gay Friend featured relatively subtle Product Placement. A few months later, the actual Sassy Gay Friend show would start advertising MiO at the end of each episode.
Memetic Mutation: A throwaway line from Dibi in a video announcing the dub became possibly the most quotable thing related to the comic. "My axe is huge", indeed.
Moe: As small as the comic's fanbase is, most of them adore Michiko. The author himself says she's his favorite character because of her cuteness.
