* PhallicWeapon: There is a lot of phallic imagery in the first movie: Salaryman's penis turns into a drill, a young Yatsu was assaulted by a man who pulled a metal rod from out of his crotch and the metal monster in the end looks like a penis.

Added DiffLines:
* FreudianExcuse: Several flashbacks from Yatsu's POV imply he's such a twisted, depraved fanatic because a piece of metal was lodged in his head since childhood, ''beaten into him'' by a cruel vagrant, leading him to develop an unhealthy sadomasochistic obsession with the element as it transformed him physically and mentally. Then these two jerks run him over and ''make out over his still conscious body.'' You can imagine his mind isn't in the right place after all that.
