YMMV / The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer

• Accidental Aesop: This whole story could've been nipped in the bud if a young Animus wasn't told his powers were godlike, especially after he caused massive loss of life. In short, treat children as people and not as means to an end.
• Anti-Climax Boss: The 12th Golem, despite looking the most impressive of them all goes down in a single chapter, after a few hits.
• Fanfic Fuel: The previous loops. Animus and Anima have been playing their game for hundreds of years and the Ring Knights have pre-existing relationships with one another, but neither is touched upon in-story. Even the circumstances of the previous Owl Knight are given a gloss over, giving fans plenty of opportunities to fill in the context however they like. Since each version of the Battle also featured different human Knights, it's also easy to write entirely new casts and put them in a random loop. Of course, the only explicit detail is that every previous loop was Doomed by Canon.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Good morning. I am the turtle knight Ron Yue. Right now, the planet is facing a crisis.^Explanation Yukimaru's first meeting with Ron Yue involved her waking up to him on her bed. The scene is reminiscent of a classic modern-day adventure prompt.
  • ADVENTURE!^Explanation Yukimaru was quite eager to accept Ron Yue's request.
• Tainted by the Preview: Those who were looking forward to the anime adaptation were rather underwhelmed by its trailer, which showed very Limited Animation and gave everything a strange brown tint. This was unfortunately still the case in the first episode and still persisted throughout the rest of the anime.
• Too Cool to Live: Hangetsu and The Master. Even to the end of the story, Hangetsu remained one of the most popular male characters despite being gone for the majority of the series.
