* In the [[AfterTheEnd Post Apocalypse]] trope talk, Red has nothing but good things to say about the [[Creator/StudioGhibli Ghibli]]-apocalypse, calling it her favorite kind. She goes on for a long time about how the villains in movies like ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'' and ''Manga/NausicaaAndTheValleyOfTheWind'' are those who refuse to let go of war, and desperately try to win despite the cost, while the heroes are those who live in harmony with nature and leave the past and the horrors of war behind them. [[AuthorAppeal Also, the heroes will use flying machines.]]

** Rhiannon married him out of her own initiative, not out of obligation or his advances.
** His marriage to Rhiannon was, as far as we see, mutually supportive. When he's forced to give her up to her asshole former fiancee, they work together to find a way around it, and
he respected (at least in Red's depiction) acknowledges that it was totally his fault.
** He refuses to leave her, even when she's (falsely) accused of eating their baby.
** Pwyll doesn't even kill a single named character in
the woman entire story, not even Rhiannon's asshole former fiancee.

** As well as the fact that suicidally impulsive Sun Wukong, who earlier in the pilgrimage would have wrecked the entire city by himself, decided to get Pigsy and Sandy with him to play a prank on the Daoists, really goes to show how much he's grown to appreciate his friends. He probably would've invited Tripitaka and the dragon too, if Tripitaka hadn't been so by-the-book and the dragon hadn't been... a horse.

* In Journey to the West Part VII, Red notes that, as a monkey, Sun doesn't really like cooked food. So when he, Sandy, and Pigsy go to mess with the Daoists by eating all their offerings, and most of said offerings are cooked, Sun just eats what little fruit there is and has fun just hanging out with his friends. Pigsy also finds Sun's prank of peeing in a jar and claiming it's holy water to be hilarious.
