* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Many fans consider Johan to be a realistic depiction of a [[TheSociopath sociopath]], but he's never officially diagnosed with ASPD. In fact, his patience, emotional regulation, and advanced planning skills make it impossible for him to meet the real life criteria for an ASPD diagnosis. But make no mistake, there is clearly something ''off'' with him. Alternatively, some theorize that he might be suffering from some [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder schizoid disorder]], which would explain his blank and almost robotic behavior.

Given the fact that [[spoiler:his ability to empathize with Nina and Karl is genuine in a way that could be described as disconcertingly bizarre]], this is likely true.

* EvilIsCool: Johan Liebert is a loathsome human being and an obvious SatanicArchetype, but he is so sophisticated, [[TheChessmaster cunning]], [[PrettyBoy physically attractive]], [[WickedCultured classy]], [[EvilGenius intelligent]] and likable that sometimes you can forget that HE IS the monster.

It's outright {{lampshaded}} in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R45IEpUmWbw this scene]] where the kids he hangs out with conclude that being a villain is more fun.

Added DiffLines:

** The English dub has several moments where it seems the original translated dialogue didn't line up with the characters' mouth movements and the writers had to change the dialogue to make it match, which results in some awkward or redundant lines:
--->'''Dr. Reichwein''': He claimed he committed his crimes on his friend's orders. In here he wrote that friend's name. And the name that's in this letter... is Johan.
