* OvershadowedByControversy: By sheer association with its creator more than anything, since while it never was the most popular series even in its time, these days, it's impossible to talk about it, or any of Creator/NobuhiroWatsuki's works without at least mentioning that he was charged for possession of child pornography in 2017.

* HilariousInHindsight: In the BeachEpisode, after Kazuki and Tokiko see Captain Bravo surfing, he responds with "[[GratuitousEnglish YES! I AM!]]", which is the catchphrase of Mohammed Avdol from [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]. It's even funnier after Captain Bravo's [[Creator/MasashiEbara seiyuu]] voiced Avdol in ''[[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle All Star Battle]]''.

Foe Yay has been cut.


* HoYay: The FuroScene described in the FoeYay entry. Actually, size comparison seems to be a recurring sub-theme in the series: in episode 18, we see Kazuki and Gouta taking a leak in a river, side by side. Gouta turns to take a peer at Kazuki and immediately thinks that, compared to him, he's an "UNDERDOG!!!" (complete with English text!)

* FashionVictimVillain: After his transformation into a homunculus, Papillon dons an outfit more appropriate for an ice dancer than a villain, but which he considers to be fabulous. Most characters are weirded out by his bizarre fashion sense (except for his family and {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s like Kazuki and Captain Bravo.) Anything else he wears post-transformation will be equally strange and unsettling.

** The first arc involves a teenage boy and a powerful, teenage, blue-haired girl fighting against humans who have been turned into monsters by a butterfly-themed villain (with a french name, no less) that the boy knows in his non-heroic life, with all three gaining power from transformation trinkets about the size of a deck of cards.
