* DisproportionateRetribution: Shukaido [[spoiler:vaccinates only Shion against a lethal virus, without telling him, forcing him to see his beloved die and to remain stranded alone on the Moon (their home planet was destroyed during a war) for ''nine years''. The reason? Mokuren loves him even if Shion is an ass and a bundle of emotional issues with legs who even comes to ''rape'' her.]]



* EasilyForgiven: Rin gets a pass since he really is a 8 year old boy [[spoiler: who is a victim himself - his personality was almost subsumed by Shion's. In the sequel Shion is considered unpredictable and somewhat dangerous, but not evil.]]

* RomanticizedAbuse: Rin/Shion does nothing but mistreat and manipulate Alice/Mokuren, blackmail her into doing what he says, dictates who she can speak with and when, and even [[spoiler:''raped her'' in his past life]]. Despite this, she eventually [[StockholmSyndrome falls for him]] and it's supposed to be seen as romantic, and [[spoiler:them getting together and having children]] is supposed to be seen as a happy ending.

* TheBadGuyWins: No matter who tries to oppose [[InvincibleVillain Shion/Rin]], he always has the upperhand and soundly defeats them. He wanted to seduce Moukuren away from Gyokuran and does it by blackmailing Moukuren's reincarnation (Alice) into being his girlfriend, then manipulates her. Haruhiko's attempt at revenge against Shion fails and comes back to haunt him in his next life when Shion finds him. Not even M could stop him, providing little more than [[DavidVsGoliath a minor challenge]], at best. In the end, Shion accomplishes everything he set out to do, despite the heroes best efforts.

* BerserkButton: Don't hurt Alice in front of Jinpachi. Also don't disparage Shion's past in front of Rin. And if you're Haruhiko, a.k.a. Shukaido, you basically ''are'' Shion/Rin's BerserkButton.

Don't worry, Rin, it's all okay now. ''Slightly'' averted in the sequel where Shion is considered unpredictable and somewhat dangerous, but not evil.]]

Deleted some complaining over the ending of the manga.


* AllForNothing:
** First off, we discover that Rin actually was trying to destroy the moonbase all along, not use its power to take over the Earth. What's more, we discover that he wants to destroy it because he remembers that Shion built some device on the moonbase and left it running. However, Rin can't remember what the device does, because Shion had already gone insane by the time he built it. Rin suspects it is some sort of doomsday device, and he wants to destroy the base to get rid of it. However in the end it turns out that [[spoiler: the device was essentially a tape-recorder, playing an eternal loop of Mokuren's song; causing all the plants in the base to grow erratically and essentially destroy everything in the base. Ooops. Better apologize to Daisuke's brother for trying to drown him]].
** The same can be said of everyone's efforts to stop Rin. In the end, all of their plans fail and Rin gets everything that he wanted, including his long-awaited revenge on Gyokuran's reincarnation (Jinpachi) by blackmailing Alice away from him.
