YMMV: Freezing
  • Complete Monster: Satellizer's half-brother definitely seals the deal when he rapes his Pandora solely because she reminded him of Satellizer, so he decides to play out his sick fantasies.
    • Worse, the reason Satellizer hates being touched? Yeah, that's his fault.
    • Said half-brother is evil on a minor scale compared to Marks Spencer, the head of the Chevalier and overseer of the E-Pandora project who sees all members as mere pawns that can be sacrificed at any cost and will crush and torture anyone who goes against him. He refuses to stop the experiments and plans to put all the blame on Dr. Oohara. As with Louis, he gets a backstory excuse for why he condones this, involving his adoption of Charles.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Louis
  • Game Breaker: The Aoi siblings, both of them. Normally a Pandora is supposed to be only capable of holding up to six Stigmata at a time – Kazuha had twenty. Kazuya's body is explicitly stated to be over 30% Stigmata tissue, such that he doesn't even need to partner with a Pandora to use Freezing.
    • Not totally so: Kazuya usually only demonstrates Freezing without a partner when he's sufficiently enraged, and Kazuha... well, if you paid close attention to the backstories, you know what happened to her.
      • It bears mentioning that his Freezing is far more powerful than any other Pandora's partner. there's a reason the Pandoras targeting Satellizer go after him first. Also, every time he uses Freezing it's without a partner, since he hasn't had a baptism yet. This isn't without cost, since some people are concerned that what happened to Kazuha might happen to Kazuya too.
      • Too bad after a while he just sits back and lets the girls fight until it's far too late.
  • Informed Wrongness: Dr. Scarlet Ohara gets chewed out and slapped by her superior, Dr. Aoi, for trying to advance their understanding of how the stigmata works, and how to grant Pandora abilities to those not innately born with the talent for accepting the stigmata. The only reason Dr. Aoi gives is that doing so would be 'tampering in the realm of God' and that they should be satisfied with what they've been given. Of course, it does go horribly wrong later on, but only because the higher-ups are desperate for results, and push Dr. Ohara and her test subjects much faster than she wanted to go.
    • Subverted for at the end thanks to her project TWO Novas were created
  • Jerkass Woobie: Holly
  • Les Yay: The OVAs.
    • in the manga, there's Roxanne Elipton ,who literally just gropes Bridgette in the middle of a conversation, doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny due to everyone's reaction, and who continues until Chiffon pulls her off. Bridgette even blushes.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Louis El-Bridget shows the audience just why Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil in Volumes 7-8 of the manga... Shiver.
  • The Scrappy: Satellizer's half brother is one complete dick everyone can agree on to hate because First he raped Satellizer, and now he's raping a look alike because he can't touch the original. And then he didn't have the decency to die when Holly stabbed him.
  • Shocking Swerve: The flashback and Louis's survival is pretty much this. As is the backstory for Marks Spencer in Chapter 75.
  • Stupid Good: Violet thinks that Louis and Satellizer can get along happily.
  • The Woobie: Satellizer. Kazuya is pretty much the only person who treats her like human being rather than a wild animal, and because of that, he sees the adorable, softy side to her.
    • The E-Pandoras
    • Ticy in the First Chronicle.
      • Iron Woobie: Satellizer and Cathy, but the entire E-Pandora team deserves special mention. One signed on to the project to avoid starving to death and one was sold by her parents. The rest of them are implied to have even worse pasts.
  • Unfortunate Implications: From the Bali arc: its okay if your monster little brother rapes and beat you! He just has trouble talking with girls and getting out his feelings. Cue epic facepalm.
