History YMMV / AGrowingAffection

* EvilIsSexy: Aika Kouin and [[spoiler:her sisters]] invoke this in their fights.

* IKnewIt: The author made a habit of this:
** Naruto's mom had a similar personality? Check.
** Attacking with a multitude of miniature Rasengans? Check.
** [[spoiler: Yugito Nii resurrected as a Path of Pain? Check.]]
** [[spoiler: Kyuubi openly and readily working with Naruto to keep out from under Madara's thumb? Check.]]

* RonTheDeathEater: Madara, being far more sadistic than normal.
** I would think this would be AdaptationalVillainy instead.

** I would think this would be AdaptionalVillainy instead.

** Madara's form of [[spoiler: BodySurfing]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Gouki. Is he an AntiVillain and borderline OnlySaneMan, or just a self-righteous, self-deluding megalomaniac.

* RonTheDeathEater: Madara, being far more into the "evulz" side of villainy than normal.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Gouki. Some reviewers view him as an AntiVillain and borderline OnlySaneMan, forced to be a conqueror when all his previous attempts to change the borderline CrapsackWorld failed. Others think he is just a self-righteous, self-deluding megalomaniac.

* IKnewIt: the author made a habit of this:

* CompleteMonster: Orochimaru and Madara.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: [[BrattyHalfPint Hanabi]] asking Kakashi why Naruto hasn't been promoted to Chunin. While Kakashi's counter-argument is sound, the fact that Tsunade personally went to Naruto's place, at 3 AM in the morning, to give him the choice of going on an X rank mission pokes holes in it. So sending Naruto on an X rank mission, despite being a [[AlmightyJanitor (VERY skilled) Genin]], is okay but giving him a field promotion isn't unless it's under special curcumstances?
** Explained in Tsunade's speech to Naruto, a field promotion was withheld because of his perceived lack of maturity. Until that very trial when he accepted that he broke the rules and provided a rational and (mostly) valid reason for why he did so. And Tsunade was not there to make him a team leader or give him any kind of operational control, they just needed his power.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Karin, Yori, the Kyubi]].
** [[spoiler:After Nagato releases her, Yugito Nii asks Kaede and Temari to see to it that Gouki and his army leave the Cloud Village before dying a second time.]]
** [[spoiler:Gouki Namikaze.]] Please shed some tears for him.

** The Kybui's description of what she would like to do Naruto

* MemeticMolester: If they share nothing else, Orochimaru and Madara share skin crawling creepiness.

* CompleteMonster: Orochimaru
