• Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • Ass. He is by far the most popular side character, due to his funny Catchphrase. It eventually led him to become an Ascended Extra.
  • Officer Bear is also not far behind. Him Suddenly Shouting is seen as hilarious.
• Fanon:
  • Fanartists assumed that Wake wears a black tank top, while Ass wears a blue T-Shirt. After the series went through Art Evolution, it turns out they were right about Ass, but Wake was also wearing a T-Shirt.
  • Some people assume that Ass' last name is "Ketchup", because... y'know.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: Chao/Ass or "Chass", due to Ass's status as Chao's Abhorrent Admirer, as well as treating him better than Wake.
• Jerkass Woobie:
  • Wake. While she is borderline sociopathic, but at her worst, it's hard not to feel bad for her.
  • Xiao. Think about it, he was shown to be a decent guy before his parents died, until the Accidental Murder on his parents drove him over the edge.
• Moe:
  • Parodied with Wake. She seems like she'd be this at first glance, but the first episode already reinforces how terrifying she is.
  • Played Straight with Chao, the cute facial expressions he makes sometimes only support this even further.
  • Invoked with Kai, she's portrayed to be as deliberately cute and likeable as possible, to showcase how far Wake would go if someone upstages her.
• One True Threesome: Ass/Chao/Wake. The fact that Ass' Gender Flip Alternate Self refers to Wake as "Chao's second girlfriend" also helps.
• Ship Mates: Chao/Ass goes well with Wake/Mototsu.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The first episode featuring Ass turning into a girl lampshades this in the credits: Despite the fact that Chao is attracted to Ass when he's a girl and him actually enjoying being a girl, the show ignores this in favor of the Status Quo Is God. The show does turn Ass into a girl in the very next episode, but only to quickly resolve the conflict, with no mention of Chao being attracted to him/her. However, in Another Dimension, both Ass and Wake got gender-flipped, with Ass actually being Chao's girlfriend, while Wake (or rather "Wako") takes his place as Chao's Abhorrent Admirer.
• The Woobie:
  • Poor Chao, his parents are dead, his brother is a nutjob, his crush is consistently reinforcing that they're Just Friends, he lives all by himself, and is a victim of chronic depression... His status as the Butt-Monkey only makes it worse.
  • Kai. She really didn't deserve getting brutally murdered by Wake.
