* BloodierAndGorier: Mashima's [[Manga/RaveMaster previous]] [[Manga/FairyTail manga]] [[Manga/EdensZero series]] were pretty violent, but still had fairly mild amounts of blood despite that (and had near-BloodlessCarnage in their anime adaptations, as well). Dead Rock, on the other hand, is an absolute bloodbath, with copious amounts of gore spewing left and right as early as Chapter 1.

** [[Manga/RaveMaster Haru]], [[Manga/FairyTail Lucy]] and [[Manga/EdensZero Shiki]] are all on the side of good and follow the usual morals of them and only go against authorities if ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight was in effect. Here, Yakuto is an {{AntiHero}} who will kill any person and break any rule to get what he wants, no matter who and what they are.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Because of their chaotic nature, is to be expected that demons don't follow typical human social norms: it's clear they hold little value to life, even their own; thinking nothing about killing each other to get what they want, and don't think much about losing their own lives either.

** Mashima's previous series contained a bubbly, kind-hearted heroin who received almost as much focus as the main protagonist. None of the females in this series come close to [[Manga/RaveMaster Elie]], [[Manga/FairyTail Lucy]], or [[Manga/EdensZero Rebecca]] in kindness or focus.

A big part of why this manga was made was to subvert some of Mashima's previous conventions.
