History YMMV / KyoKaraMaoh

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: [[spoiler: The keys to the boxes are]] [[TheLancer Conrad's arm]], [[TheSpymaster Gwendal's eye]], [[LoveInterest Wolfram's]] [[UndyingLoyalty heart]], and [[TheHero Yuuri's]] [[TheHeart soul]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Take ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' and combine with HoYay and [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs a good amount of acid]].

* AcceptableTargets: From the dub:
--> '''Yuuri:''' ''(when discussing how to feed Morgif a human soul to power it up)'' "You can't expect me to take innocent lives of any quantity, even if they're Yankees fans."

* HoYay: Abounds, even between characters who aren't blatantly being [[ShipTease teased.]]

* AmericansHateTingle: Hate isn't the right word, but Conrad is considered boring to many Western fans for being the "perfect guy who completely understands Yuuri". It's this dedication that is rather fatherly that turns people off (when it comes to pairings, as Conrad/Yuuri is significantly more popular with Japanese fans than Western ones). See the {{Values Dissonance}} page for more details. Despite this, Conrad/Yuuri seems to be a favorite ship among American fans, to the extent that for many years, the rare few excerpts that were translated from the novels were of the Conrad/Yuuri variety, such as the coffin scene in the Seisakoku Arc.

* FanPreferredCouple: In the Western fandom, [[BelligerentSexualTension Yuuri/Wolfram]], [[HeterosexualLifePartners Conrad/Yozak]], [[PairtheSpares Gwendal/Gunther]] and [[spoiler: [[SubordinateExcuse Shinou/Murata]]]]. In the Eastern fandom [[KissKissSlap Yozak/Murata]] is an unusually popular pairing.

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: Saralegui.]]
** And before him [[spoiler: Shinou.]]

* CreatorsFavorite: Tomo Takabayashi, writer of the light novels, is very open with her love of Wolfram. In interviews, she has mentioned she can't help but want to give him everything he wants.
* CreatorsPest: Conrad. In the booklet "This Light Novel Author is Awesome," she stated that she "wanted to hit him in the back of the head with the heel of [her] shoe" when writing him, and noted that he was "regrettably" popular with fans. In another interview, she mentions [[spoiler:spending years thinking about how to kill him off, but she was dissuaded by her editor from doing so]].

* VillainDecay: King Belar went from a serious villain to a joke that the Maou tribe doesn't take seriously anymore.

In another interview, she mentions [[spoiler:spending years thinking about how to kill him off, but she was dissuaded by her editor from doing so]].

** But... ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' was [[UpToEleven already on drugs...]]

* HetIsEw: Inevitable, given the below trope.

See the {{Values Dissonance}} page for more details.

* {{Creators Pet}}: Saralegui is accused of being one especially by the shippers given that he's introduced in season 3 and takes the spotlight away from Yuuri's other companions as well as being set up with the most {{Ship Tease}} in that season despite the development that happened in the previous two seasons.

** Conversely, Conrad seems to be a {{Creators Pest}}. In the booklet "This Light Novel Author is Awesome," she stated that she "wanted to hit him in the back of the head with the heel of [her] shoe" when writing him, and noted that he was "regrettably" popular with fans. In another interview, she mentions [[spoiler:spending years thinking about how to kill him off, but she was dissuaded by her editor from doing so]].
* {{Die for Our Ship}}:

*** The reverse is also true in Conrad/Yuuri fanfiction. Either that, or Wolfram gets over his feelings far too easily for a [[ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Guy]] with a HairTriggerTemper.

* {{Fan Preferred Couple}}: In the Western fandom, [[BelligerentSexualTension Yuuri/Wolfram]], [[HeterosexualLifePartners Conrad/Yozak]], [[PairtheSpares Gwendal/Gunther]] and [[spoiler: [[SubordinateExcuse Shinou/Murata]]]].

* {{Moral Event Horizon}}: King Belar has already crosses this in his backstory when he kills [[spoiler: the previous owner of one of the four keys in order to activate the boxes.]] It gets worse from there.
