History YMMV / BuddyDaddies

* PortmanteauCoupleName: Kazuki/Rei - Kazurei.

** Kyu is forced to contact Miri's mother because, since Ryo and the organization are aware of her existence, there is no guarantee that they won't allow her to keep living.

** To the 80s hit comedy Film/ThreeMenAndABaby, except it's two assassins trying to be parents to a little girl.

** Miri initially has trouble making friends at daycare because the fancy outfits Kazuki bought her intimidate the other children; rather than try to help her integrate, the daycare worker instead suggests that Kazuki buy her more "normal" clothing so she doesn't stand out so much. While there's a point to be made about how the expensive clothes Kazuki bought Miri weren't very practical for a daycare, it still shows how Japanese values tend to prioritize conforming to a group over standing out.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To the 80s hit comedy Film/ThreeMenAndABaby, except it's two assassins trying to be parents to a little girl.

* WhatAnIdiot: The job in episode 2 probably would have gone better if Kazuki had just told the goon that Miri was his daughter.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Anna, Miri's teacher, is surprisingly popular due to her gentle, motherly demeanor and unconventionally attractive design, with many viewers pointing out how [[ BigBeautifulWoman her round face and slightly chubby figure]] give her a child-like appearance, which adds to the character's {{Moe}} factor.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Anna, Miri's teacher, is popular because she is a BigBeautifulWoman.

* FridgeHorror: The idea that Miri's mother Misaki sent her into the world without any supervision is terrible enough, but she sent Miri to her father who not only abandoned Misaki after she got pregnant, but is also a criminal. To make matters worse, Miri's father is quite willing to [[WouldHurtAChild hold Miri at gunpoint]], apparently having no idea she's his daughter.
** Even if Miri's father did find out the truth of her identity, it's doubtful that he would have kept her anyway since then his wife would learn of the affair and he'd still have to pay child support. Best case, he would have dumped her in foster care without a second thought. [[OffingTheOffspring Worst case...]]

* HilariousInHindsight: One of the stuffed toys Rei grabs in Episode 4 is a dark-haired wolf. Rei's english dub actor, Creator/DavidMatranga, has played a [[Anime/WolfChildren fatherly wolf before.]]

* FridgeHorror: [[spoiler:The idea that Miri's mother sent her into the world without any supervision is terrible enough but also that she sent her to her father who not only abandons them but is also a criminal.]] [[spoiler:Even if her father knew she was his daughter, he will not hesitate to put a bullet in the child's skull in Episode 1.]]

** Miri initially has trouble making friends at daycare because the fancy outfits Kazuki bought her intimidate the other children; rather than try to help her integrate, the daycare worker instead suggests that Kazuki buy her more "normal" clothing so she doesn't stand out so much. While there's a point to be made about how the expensive clothes Kazuki bought Miri were too fancy for her to play in, it still shows how Japanese values tend to prioritize conforming to a group over standing out.

* ValuesDissonance: North American viewers are often concerned over four-year-old Miri running around the city by herself in the first episode, since it's uncommon to see a child that young being unattended in public in the United States or Canada ("stranger danger" is very much a concern there, among other mishaps children could get into by themselves). However, in Japan, children around Miri's age are sometimes sent out on their own to learn how to get groceries by themselves. That, or most of the adults around her assumed her parents weren't too far away.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Viewers either adore Miri for being an adorable and realistically written child character, or find her an annoying TagalongKid whose loud, hyperactive antics are enough to ruin the show. Some of the backlash towards her has softened a bit after Episode 3 revealed the [[ParentalAbandonment less pleasant details of her background.]]
