• Alternative Character Interpretation: Many, but Eve Moonlit deserves a special mention. How much of her Ax Crazy tendencies in Moonlit Bear came from the Lunacy and how much from her own deranged psyche? She had been given a brainwashing drug for at least a few months before Project [MA] failed, and who knows what side effects it could have carried. Also, the Evils Kingdom Booklet states her obsession with having children tainted her with the original sin, and in Project [MA] she's seen with insecurities about being a mother until Adam convinces her it's alright.
• Complete Monster: Played with, constantly.
  • Prim Marlon and Ney Futapie from Story of Evil seem to qualify as well. Ney subverts it when she has a Heel Realization as she dies, before being whisked away by the Demon of Gluttony.
  • Rin's father in Flames of Yellow Phosphorous.
  • Irina Clockworker seems to be headed in this direction, too.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Many, but most fans agree that RE_Birthday is the biggest example.
  • Or the Duke being stabbed by Kaito in a dress.
  • Riliane and Germaine working together to save Yukina from Abyss I. R. in the novel Prefazio of Blue.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: In the Daughter of Evil novel, Elluka has this to say about Michaela wanting to be human:
  Elluka: AH~!! THAT'S ENOUGH!! WHY ARE EVERYONE OF YOU IDIOTS??!! YOU, RILLIANNE, THE KING OF MARLON, ALLEN, AND LEONHART ARE ALL THE SAME!! EVERYONE ARE SUPER ULTRA IDIOTS!!!
  • Keel beating the crap out of Kyle for being alone with Yukina, assuming that Kyle was making a move on her.
  • In the first novel, every single conversation in which Allen gets to hear about "The very Amazing Spring Onion/Octopus" is hilarious. And they always answer the same way!
  Allen: What part of it is amazing?
  Elluka: Everything about it is very, very amazing!
  Allen (thinking): I've been hearing this argument a lot lately.
• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Loads of 'em.
  • The simplest example would be the end of To the Reticent You
  Rin: There is no need for words anymore/That is what I thought/I knew it this is happiness/ You told me that you love me
  • The duet part in Maiden of Wood ~1000-Year Wiegenlied~.
    • Speaking of Michaela and Clarith, their reunion and final declaration of love◊ in the novels. Awww!
  • South North Story in its entirety, pretty much.
  • Kept Waiting for a Response. All of it. *Sniff*
  • The scene in Escape of Salmhofer the Witch, where Meta resolves to protect her children from being experimented on is very touching.
  • Clarith's reason for not killing Riliane:
  Clarith: When I looked at that girl, crying all alone
  I saw the girl that I used to be
  • Kachess' reaction to Yufina going missing is to search almost every country to find any form of evidence as to were she went, then disguise himself as a woman to sneak into the Duke's harem and kill the guy to save her. Talk about dedication!
• Crowning Music of Awesome: Pretty much all of the songs, really.
• Ear Worm: SO MANY. The "Lu, Li, La" part of the Clockwork Lullaby series is pretty much guaranteed to get stuck in your head.
• Evil Is Cool / True Art Is Angsty: Mothy has written some songs that are actually pretty adorable (Ten-Minute Love, To The Reticent You, South North Story and TwiRight Prank) but he's most well known for writing tragic, mind screwy and Nightmare Fuel filled stuff about horrible people, people dying, or horrible people dying.
• Fan Disservice / Fetish Retardant: Madame Merry Go-Round; Miku in Elegant Gothic Lolita, chaining herself up and claiming that she'll be your slave for a day should be hot, right? Well, let's just say things get much freakier from there...
  • In Flower of the Plateau, we get a completely nude image of Mikulia. Pretty hot, huh? Nope. Not only is her lower half seemingly mutated graphically to look like a flower, but one of her breasts has a massive slug crawling on it. Ewwwww.
• Freud Was Right: The Sin Vessel of Lust is a sword.
• Hell Is That Noise: The guillotine sound in Daughter of Evil and Servant of Evil, except in certain versions where it just sounds like a rope being cut, and other versions where it's left out entirely.
• Les Yay: After some years, fan speculation over whom Michaela truly loved - ranging from her having a true relationship with Kyle, as is implied by quite a bit of fanart, or actually being in love with Allen the whole time, which was input into its fanmade song - eventually ended up moot because regardless of whatever she felt towards Kyle, her true love was towards Clarith.
  • Also occurs in the songs where there are two Rins. In South North Story Rin and Riliane get very intimate with each other and in Screws, Gears and Pride the two Rins pretty much give each other the "it's not you, it's me" speech when they part ways.
  • In the trailer for Praeludium of Red, there's a brief image of Elluka and Gumilia looking awfully chummy...
  • Some translations of Capriccio Farce have the doll call Ma "my dear Sorceress of Time".
  • The Madness of Duke Venomania Manga adaptation makes Lukana Octo a walking magnet of these. She was good friends with Lilien Tanner (a baker), and bought her a beautiful bracelet to match hers. In fact, looking for Lukana is Lilien's motivation to follow the duke at first. There's also an scene where Lukana is hugging and talking to Mikulia about the duke/their situation. Mikulia's only answer is that she loves Venomania... and she also loves Lukana.
• Magnificent Bastard: Gallerian Marlon.
  • Also, Prim Marlon. Maybe it's a family trait?
  • Irina deserves special mention here, after all she is pretty much the one manipulating EVERY single character (Not even Elluka of all people saves herself from this ...literally) behind the events of Story of Evil and the Pere Noel Organization, we could fill an entire article just listing each one of her schemes, including manipulating Prim Marlon the former resident Magnificent Bastard
  • MA, too. She KILLED GALLERIAN'S ENTIRE FAMILY because he didn't want to work with her. Not to mention, she seems to be manipulating the hell out of The Clockwork Doll, too...
• Magnum Opus: Story of Evil. Servant of Evil in particular. It's the song that gained mothy his producer name in the Vocaloid fanbase, after all.
• Memetic Mutation: After Story of Evil's supplementary material was released, fans are prone to making comments that go "CURSE YOU PRIM MARLON!"
  • Before that, there was "IT'S ALL KAITO'S FAULT!" due to the fact that whenever something went wrong in the Seven Deadly Sins series, a character played by Kaito would almost always be the cause of it.
• Misaimed Fandom: The Duke from The Madness of Duke Venomania seems to have quite a large fanbase, if the YouTube comments for the song are anything to go by.
  • Allen in Story of Evil and Kayo in Tailor Shop on Enbizaka get a bit of this too.
• Moral Event Horizon: Every Deadly Sin character crosses this except Rilianne, who was not yet beyond redemption:
  • Evil Food Eater Conchita: Cannibalism
  • Tailorshop on Enbizaka: Murder the Hypotenuse (three times) AND If I Can't Have You.
  • Duke Venomania's Madness: Rape. The women couldn't give consent; they were being magically manipulated by Venomania's charms.
  • Judgement of Corruption: Gallerian's greed resulting in outright war.
    • He may have crossed it even earlier. See Fridge Horror.
  • Gift From Princess Sleep-Bringer: Murder. On a grand scale. Might also count as Despair Event Horizon.
  • In Flower of the Plateau, Mikulia crosses this when she kills her own son just to hide the fact that she Really Gets Around
• Nausea Fuel: Evil Food Eater Conchita.
  • Certain parts of Madness of Duke Venomania might initiate this instead of Fetish Fuel.
  • One of the images in the PV for Flower of the Plateau can qualify as well. See Fan Disservice above.
• Nightmare Fuel: Has its own page.
• Squick: The Madness of Duke Venomania has several scenes that are likely to provoke such a reaction.
• Tastes Like Diabetes: It's rare, but when Mothy decides to write cute songs, they are really, really cute!
• Tear Jerker: Many, but special mention goes to Servant of Evil, Regret Message, Daughter of White, Girl of a Miniature Garden, Flames of Yellow Phosphorus, The Last Revolver, Maiden of Wood ~1000-Year Wiegenlied~, Kept Waiting for a Response and White Brick and Black Mourning Dress.
  • A minor one where Germaine found out that the princess she captured in the Lucifenia Revolution is actually her foster brother whom practically grew up with and loved like family.
  • The novels are choke-full of these. From Riliane's talk about how wanting to be like her mother left her Lonely at the Top to Allen's Anguished Declaration of Love in the second novel (specially since Michaela thinks his feelings for her makes him as stupid as Kyle, even as she's dying), the novels make you feel sorry and teary-eyed for anyone not called Abyss I.R. or Prim Marlon.
  • Watching Us in its entirety.
• The Woobie: Many, but Allen, Micheala, Kyle and Clarith in Story of Evil and Gumi's character in The Last Revolver stand out.
  • And Elluka if Chrono Story and Re-collective Musicbox are to be believed.
  • The unfortunate man Kayo Sudou was in love with in Tailor Shop on Enbizaka. The poor guy's entire family was murdered and he had no idea what was causing it until it was too late.
  • The Clockwork Doll. The lyrics of Master of the Court make her something of a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds too.
  Doll: How can the lifeless me understand? How can the heartless me understand?
  • Meta Salmhofer, in Escape of Salmhofer the Witch. Growing up without parents and engaging in a life of crime for a while, she had a change of heart after giving birth to twins, and resolved to protect her children from experimentation, only to get murdered and her children kidnapped by someone who'd gotten Meta arrested for something she didn't do previously.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Riliane.
    • And Venomania.
    • Ney Futapie/Marlon after her death.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Margarita from Gift From Princess Sleep-Bringer. She was basically broken from the start, made into a Stepford Smiler who felt like everyone would be better off dead since they were all so unhappy in her eyes. Rin of Flames of Yellow Phosphorus also counts, as she committed that crime because she had been denied food and shelter by her father.
