* In a BlackComedy sort of way, Perv and Reina's decapitated heads are left back at the altar. As if the anime wanted to give the two a "happy ending" even though their faces are that of despair or terror.
* As Shadow unleashes his I Am Atomic, the now panicked Mordred yells out who Shadow is.
--> '''Shadow:''' I'm Atomic.

* There's some delicious DramaticIrony in Episode 10, where Perv monologues about how he will soon become one of the Rounds thanks to the ring in his possession... completely unaware that Shadow already stole it earlier, and he's just holding an empty box.
* Episode 11 has Perv getting ready for the wedding, monologuing about how he'll join the Rounds thanks to the Ring.

** It's at this time that Sir Mordred calls to congratulate Perv on his incoming ascension. All this accomplishes is making Perv (who's in his underwear by this point) panic even more, before trying to reassure himself that he won't need the ring right away.

** Watchdog's master's is even worse. When he sees Shadow, Crimson goes on a speech about how vampires are superior and humans are inferior. Shadow, on the other hand, just didn't care and casually just cuts Crimson up, mid-way during his speech and does it again whenever he regenerates. It got so bad that Crimson starts to grovel and tries to bargain to be spared. Who is the superior species now?
* Cid's whole plan was to team up with Yukime and steal the riches from two corporations, one of them being his own company (which he doesn't know he owns). There is just one flaw to that plan: Him shooting himself in the foot. He had handed Beta a secret coded message that revealed his agenda and Beta and the Seven Shadows believe he is handing them over the treasures he and Yukime gathered. When he arrives at the hideout, he's horrified to see that all the gold is gone and he doesn't know that Shadow Garden took them. Whether Shadow's the idiot or Shadow Garden's the idiots or both but one thing sure, looks like another of Shadow's schemes has flushed down the drain.
** Even funnier is when John Smith shows up enraged against Gettan. Both Yukime and Gettan thinks he's angry due to Yukime but Shadow is only angry due to the gold stolen.
* The Epilogue to the CorporateWarfare arc. Cid and Delta tried to dig under snow to get the gold that was allegedly stolen by Gettan. Cid thought it was there because Gettan pointed at the ''snow'' but he was referring to [[MeaningfulName Yukime]] due to part of her name. Obviously, [[ObliviousToLove Cid]] would not have made that conclusion. What's ironic is that his own organization took the gold because they thought he was given it to them.

Even more hilarious is that Cid is easily able to see through the scam and tries to get them to increase the monthly payout. On top of that, they lose everything they lend to Cid in a card game... after already losing their normal savings earlier against him.
