* FriendlyFandoms: Quite a few from the ''Manga/SpyXFamily'' fandom have also supported ''Buddy Daddies'' run, finding it a sufficient substitute in-between Season 2 and the upcoming movie while appreciating it for its own take on the comedic action “found family” premise. Unsurprisingly, crossover fanart of Miri becoming friends with Anya is quite common.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [[spoiler:Was Shigeki choosing not to shoot Rei while he had his back turned in the finale a simple case of PragmaticVillainy since Rei had shattered his plans for him to inherit the Suwa Clan’s assassination business by crippling his shooting arm, meaning that Shigeki had nothing to gain by killing Rei and his family? Or was it that deep down, even someone as cruel as Shigeki [[CannotKillYourLovedOnes can’t bring themselves to murder their their own child in cold blood?]]]]

** Kyu is forced to contact Miri's mother because, since Shigeki and the organization are aware of her existence, there is no guarantee that they could afford to keep her alive. [[spoiler:It proves to be a fatal mistake as Shigeki sends Ogino to kill Miri and her mother anyway in order to remove anything that could deter Rei from inheriting control of the Suwa Clan.]]

** 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 could afford to keep her alive.

** Ryo Ogino is walking, talking nightmare fuel on two legs. Unlike the lead characters who kill for monetary gain, not only does he enjoy killing, but he makes it a habit to record his victims' last words. He is introduced completely massacring the kingpin's bodyguards and later is revealed as being responsible for much of the conflict in the story. Worse is he now knows about Miri and why Kazuki and Rei were getting sloppy.

* LGBTFanbase: Most of the viewers of the anime belong to the LGBT community, in part because of the premise revolving around two same-sex guys raising a girl resembling a gay couple with their child. In addition to this, the way no one questions the fact that Miri has two fathers in the daycare and she doesn't face discrimination for this makes the story more appealing to both LGBT parents and their children, who can respectively relate to being and having same-sex parents.

* CatharsisFactor: After all the suffering he had brought to the found family, [[spoiler: Ogino's death is truly satisfying. Not only was he incapable of saying his own last words, but when he tried to grab his book, but it also gets burned to a crisp when a lighter is tossed into the kitchen ensuring that he was definitively dead.]]

* JerkassWoobie: Miri's mother, Misaki, is established as being a negligent mother who despised her daughter and abandoned her, but she rightfully points out that she was forced into circumstances she did not want and was left with little money while pregnant with her daughter. Upon getting diagnosed with cancer, Misaki has a change of heart and tries to become a mother worthy of Miri, only [[spoiler: to get unceremoniously murdered for her trouble]].

** Ryo has many contenders: for starters, he [[spoiler: was the one who indirectly killed Kazuki's wife when he blew out the target's tires. He also was the one who kidnapped and killed the girlfriend of Rei's mentor just because he tried to leave the organization. But his biggest one is when he is ordered to kill Misaki and Miri, the latter a child, delighting in recording the last words of them both]].

** Rei's abusive father was already hovering the horizon from giving his son absolute TrainingFromHell, but he truly reaches the point of no return when he [[spoiler: orders Ryo to eliminate Misaki, Kazuki, and Miri so that Rei would never falter to his emotions again]].
