* DoubleMeaning: In chapter 27, the audience sees a flashback to the massacre of Simon's family, in which a Nue Chimera held up the severed heads of the Kagomuras and mocked their status as "heroes." Initially the audience is lead to believe he's referring to how the Kagomuras became complacent in their powers and grew weak. Later on in chapter 49, we find out that [[spoiler:the Kagomura clan aided Sora in carrying out her genocide in Antoland]]... and suddenly that line takes on an ''entirely'' different meaning.

* GenerationXerox: A non-genetic example. Tokio, Azuma, and Palma are all indicated to have inherited a weaker version of the power of a choujin X--Tokio inherited Sora's wings and harpes, Azuma inherited Queem's weapon-producing abilities, and Palma inherited Bill Morth's necromancy. Of all the main characters, Ely stands out as an anomaly, possessing powers that baffle even Noh Mask.

It’s kind of implied that Batista wants to collect powers for a specific purpose rather than just out of greed, so I’m not really sure this works

* {{Greed}}: Due to his nature as a Nue Chimera who can collect other Choujin's powers, the pharmacist always wants powers. He needs to remind himself to not overindulge in it.

It’s made pretty clear that Yamato isn’t Japan. While a lot of the landmasses are vaguely similar to those in the real world, there are way too many differences. Antoland for example is part of the landmass just off the coast of Nanasu, and it’s a more Persian inspired culture

** The concept of nation-states as a whole has collapsed around the world, with the only existing form of government being self-governed local prefectures. The story primarily takes place in a portion of Japan called Yamato, as in after the Japanese ethnic group. Culturally, Japan (or at least Yamato) has embraced more of a Monotheistic religion, apparently Catholicism or something similar, rather than Shinto and Buddhism in real life, thanks to important religious figures of the past that shaped Yamato’s history.

* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Only mentally unstable people are able to become choujin, as the powers of any individual choujin reflect whatever complex they have. Furthermore, a choujin overusing their powers will gradually cause their humanity and mental stability to degrade. [[spoiler:Perhaps the best examples would be [[PredecessorVillain Queem]] and [[BigBad Zora]], two individuals who received the titular moniker of 'Choujin X.' While Queem was always an extremely paranoid dictator, in the later years of the [[GreatOffscreenWar Great Choujin War]], his sanity had completely degraded to the point that he'd slaughter random civilians on a whim, particularly those who were openly religious. Zora, on the other hand, was originally a [[FallenHero powerful hero]] who protected the land of Yamato from Queem's onslaught. However as she continued to overextend her powers in service of Yamato, her mind gradually became subsumed by her savior complex, to the point where she's developed an obsessive paranoia with her own prophetic visions. It also doesn't help that, due to the increasing amount of pain one experiences after using too many raises, both Queem and Zora have become completely dependent on opiods to even function in day-to-day life.]]

* ShoutOut: ''Choujin X'' contains multiple allusions to ''Creator/FriedrichNietzsche'', though one of the most notable examples occurs with the scene of Azuma and the hyena on the beach. Azuma comes cross the corpse of a hyena (which he had earlier conversed with) which causes him to break down sobbing and craddle the hyena's dead body in his arms. This was based on an experience Nietzsche had supposedly had in real life, with him coming across a worse being whipped in Turin which caused him to undergo a mental breakdown.
