History Headscratchers / HayateTheCombatButler

Sorry, but any casino that serves alcohol won't let you play unless you're 21.

** RuleOfFunny. Maybe a crazy collector wants brains.

Black market organs are usually sold for transplant to people who can't get the organs they need legally. However, someone was apparently willing to pay 5 million Yen for Hayate's brain. Who would want to do that?

* A loophole used to make things more interesting. We know Mikado is a {{Troll}} (and a bad Santa, or perhaps "The Bad Santa").

* Actually, yes, he does have an excuse. On the very beginning he was trying to work while also going to school, meaning that he could only do low-pay jobs, and that was ''after'' lying about his own age. He could've done better-paid jobs for Yakuza, but that would require him to shed his naivete (which, as we all know from the "End of the World" arc, stems from the trauma applied by his parents throughout his childhood, and later also from being "abandoned" by Athena) and "poor man's mentality" (which is the reason why so many people who were poor in their past are incapable of earning enough money to stop being poor; they are mentally incapable of managing money and allow it to easily "go away" [a trait evident in Hayate], and they are content with the level of wealth they have if they have anything [a trait also evident in Hayate] which reduces their motivation to earn money to nil). So yes, to sum it up, Hayate's excuse for being poor is the mental trauma his parents caused with their irresponsible behaviour.

At the beginning of the stone arc, it's established that should the inheritance stone get destroyed, Nagi would lose her inheritance, and her inheritance would be given to whoever destroyed it. However, ''Nagi was the one who destroyed the stone!'' That means that, according to the previously established conditions, Nagi should still be allowed to recieve the inheritance, so why is she no longer a candidate?

[[WMG: Dangit, why does my heart insist on shipping Ayumu/Hayate when my brain knows that the only way they're liable to actually get together would be through the Ayumu/Hayate/Hinagiku TenchiSolution, which won't happen unless Hinagiku finally mans (girls?) up and tells him her feelings? Gaaahhh... poor Nishizawa.]]
* But seriously, you gotta feel sorry for her since, with the way the story has been unfolding, she's practically all but doomed to end up an UnluckyChildhoodFriend... I dunno, but I can't help but root for her since she's the most ''normal'' one out of Hayate's harem.
** You have my sympathies. I'm in the same situation with my Athena/Hayate pairing, even though I know there's no hope now the Greece arc is over and the author seems hellbent on shelving A-tan until everyone forgets about her. Feels bad, man.
** That's because you simply like the girl for some reason. Personally I'm more of a Hayate/Athena person (though I wouldn't mind Hayate/Hinagiku, or even any other pairing), but I am aware that Hayate won't end with anyone. He's just too nice to choose, and it'll become even more difficult for him when the size of his wannabe-harem increases. So yes, StatusQuoIsGod, but this time it's kind of justified (I once experienced a mere LoveTriangle, and it quickly went to Albuquerque with nobody being together because of all the awkwardness).

* I won't say anything, but {{It Gets Worse}}

Its been revealed that the other half of the torn photo that was discovered in the Violet Mansion is that of Himegami but who is the old man in the other half that was first discovered?

** ''[[RunningGag "Sorry, but I'm only into 2-D."]]''

[[WMG:Will [[CompleteMonster Hayate's parents]] ''[[KarmaHoudini ever]]'' get their due diligence?]]

* The above troper is right. Just wait until the The End of the World arc starting Chapter 178. You haven't seen anything [[CompleteMonster yet]].

* Update from [[@/JusticeReaper the original poster]]: To the two above posters, you needn't worry about spoiling me, as I already know about what's going to happen up to when [[spoiler:Athena]] joins the main storyline, and I know about how [[spoiler:her]] involvement kicked off the primary back-story (in fact, it was my spoiling myself that prompted me to actually read the manga to see just how it would all unfold)...but still, I'm upset that Hayate's parents apparently won't get their
[[LaserGuidedKarma due diligence.]]

* Okay, this series totally deserves a sequel called "Hayate the Bounty Hunter."

* But seriously, you gotta feel sorry for her since, with the way the story has been unfolding, she's practically all but doomed to end up an UnluckyChildhoodFriend... I dunno, but I can't help but root for her since she's the most ''normal'' one out of Hayate's harem.

** Hayate: "Ehhhhh?!" Then StatusQuoIsGod.

* Athena brought with her a seriousness to the story that wasn't there before. When she left, it dissappeared, with much of the fandom saying that HnG was no longer interesting.

** A Asteroid would probably crash down on him or something.

* Because, out of all the girls, this issue was the most interesting to me.

* I believe Maria, and possibly even Isumi, knew it would happen '''before Hinagiku was even introduced as a character'''. From both sides actually.
