History YMMV / ArifuretaFromCommonplaceToWorldsStrongest

* MoralEventHorizon: Haiyama Daisuke was certainly a despicable and unlikable bully, but he really sinks low with his attempt on Hajime's life just so he can have Shirasaki all too himself. If that wasn't bad enough to cross it, then he definitely proved himself to irredeemably evil when he conspired with [[spoiler:Nakamura Eri to betray his classmates and the kingdom to demons just so he can kill Shirasaki and have her reanimated as a doll to love only him]]​. Unlike his murder attempt with Hajime, the entire class does find out about his treachery and rightfully lose all patience with him, and Hajime (who didn't bother killing Daisuke because [[NotWorthKilling he deemed him not worth the effort]]) finally loses all sense of mercy towards him the moment Daisuke [[ItsPersonal stabs Shirasaki]], outright killing him by [[LeftForDead leaving him to be devoured by monsters]], [[DeathByIrony mirroring Daisuke's murder attempt and what Hajime had to go through in the abyss]]​.

* ValuesDissonance: Hajime use of his makeshift CoolGuns can be seen as this. In Japan, gun control laws are very strict in upholding, where only the police and JSDF are authorized to use them. It's also very, very difficult for a law-abiding citizen to own a firearm[[note]]The only firearms legally available to non-law enforcement or JSDF personnel are break-action shotguns, and after demonstrating a 10-year history of responsibly owning that, then bolt-action rifles become available. Private ownership of handguns is completely illegal[[/note]], and a very big taboo to even hold one (especially if the one holding it is still a minor, since ChildrenAreInnocent are at play in Japanese society). This serves as a [[RuleOfSymbolism metaphor]] on how badly Hajime's mental state has [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope deteriorated]] in the Great Orcus Labyrinth.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: The infamous AssShove scene with Hajime & Tio went viral [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK6B9Z6KZN8 on Youtube]], garnering almost a million views in a month. It doesn't help that the scene in its entirety takes up almost ''a third of a whole episode.''

* HilariousInHindsight: Tia Ballard playing Yue in the English dub. Yue is a ReallySevenHundredYearsOld vampire who can cast powerful magic. In another of Ballard's recent roles, she played Entoma in [[LightNovel/Overlord2012 Overlord]], who notedly fought that show's resident magic casting vampire. And oh, [[Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx this won't be the last time]] she falls in love with a character voiced by Matt Shipman.

** Here in America, gun ownership is extremely common. 43 percent of Americans own at least one gun, and in total 555 million guns are in the country -- with 400 million of those guns being in the hands of civilians. Gun control is a controversial issue in America, with many gun owners claiming it is unlawful, but nevertheless Americans have it. Generally speaking high end explosives, automatic weapons, and certain types of attachments to your gun are either straight up illegal or require considerable taxes and registrations to own. Outside of those special restrictions gun ownership is an ingrained part of American culture, with many families (especially in rural areas) teaching their children how to use guns recreationally and for hunting. To American audiences, the idea that owning a gun by itself is a sign of mental decline would be a rather strange notion.

* DuelingWorks: Let's see: an average Japanese male is summoned to another world alongside several others to fight demons. He's given a seemingly weaker power in comparison to his peers, is betrayed in circumstances related to a girl, and is forced to become a darker person to survive because of it. It's only after this that the main character gets stronger, even surpassing his peers, and gains a harem of female traveling companions (at least one of whom's a short blonde) to willingly follow him. One of his companions is a [[LittleBitBeastly part-animal]] humanoid (a 'Demi-Human' girl with animal ears) that locals discriminate against. [[spoiler: And one of the last major enemies (after dealing with insane members of the group they were summoned with) is a evil deity.]] [[LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero Sound remotely familiar?]]

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The fanbase is almost universally displeased with the anime adaptation. Numerous events are played out of order with extensive flashbacks and time-skips, in both episodes 1 and 2, which is quite jarring and disrupts the immersion. Characters monologue in places they never would have in the original work. Many critical plot elements are skipped over...Things are just... off, in general.

* This series is '''very''' similar to LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero when you think about it.
** Both the main characters are taken from another world that runs on RPG mechanics along with others.
** They're given [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower a seemingly useless class]] while the others get ones that are useful from the get go.
** They're betrayed by their own party member and are left alone, TookALevelInCynic in the process, and grow stronger while they're stewing in their own anger and bitterness.
** The person in question that betrays them even [[BitchInSheepsClothing puts on a public show of innocence]] and even blasted the protagonist in the back by an offensive spell at some point.
** There's even a blond-haired IdiotHero that sees themselves at the epitome of righteousness and the hero as a villain, and take their naive views on the world to the point of Deconstruction.
** And finally, all the negative events that happen in the story is due to a [[DeityOfHumanOrigin mortal-born]] [[JerkassGods sadistic]] god that the main character has to deal with personally.
