* TooBleakStoppedCaring: It is, without a doubt, Creator/OsamuTezuka's darkest work, barring possibly ''Manga/{{Ayako}}'', and it shows. Our main "hero" is an [[VillainProtagonist outright villain]], with other characters not being much better, and those who are genuinely good going through horrifying [[BreakTheCutie breaking of their spirit]] and the ending [[spoiler: almost crosses over the Kill Em' All territory]]. The nihilistic and despairing tone can make it a very difficult read, specially for those who know Tezuka for his somewhat-bittersweet-but-still-hopeful creations like Unico, Kimba, Black Jack and Astro Boy. Ironically, Tezuka himself agrees that he went too far with the dark tone, with him disliking writing characters like [[HateSink Rock]].

Apologies for serial tweaking! Only noticed it just now...


* HarsherInHindsight / HilariousInHindsight: The idea of a black man using chemicals to turn himself white but only turning freakish-looking as a result will bring many to mind the story of Music/MichaelJackson.
