** "We. like. Fish Sticks. Eat the fish cakes. Eat. the. Fish dish. Eat the fish sticks."[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]The vocal lyrics in "Gigalomania" have been interpreted by some as sounding like being about fish sticks or seafood.[[/labelnote]]

*** Streibough's situation in Akira's dungeon. [[spoiler:While it's commonly accepted that Streibough has no regrets in doing what he has done and prefers to just ponder if he messed up while he probably will be repeating that again given the chance, there's also a possibility that he's made by Oersted/Odio to be stuck in this mindset for eternity; he may have regrets, as shown in other portrayals like ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerChampionsOfTheContinents'', but Oersted/Odio makes sure that he will not be able to even express it, and so any visitors from any timeline will see him as [[HateSink a petty, remorseless traitor to be hated for his actions]]. Considering what Streibough put him through before, [[IronicHell this may not be coincidental in Oersted/Odio's design]].]]

* HarsherInHindsight: Masaru's speech to [[spoiler:Oersted]] if chosen as the final protagonist has him proclaim that simply being the best can't be the only thing to strive for, as even the greatest fighters will be broken down by time, and when that happens, only strength of spirit will be all that remains. In other words: Don't live solely for glory and then cling to it once you're past your prime. In retrospect, he probably should have given that same speech to [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Max Morgan]] and [[Wrestling/RicFlair his cohorts]].

** Watanabe in the Near Future chapter. While his other incarnations were [[BlackComedy darkly humorous]], this one just feels ''wrong''. He's not a MonsterMunch to Odio like he is in every chapter. He's one of the major characters in the chapter as he lives in an orphanage with Akira and Taeko as [[DisappearedDad he often wonders where his dad is]] and wished he would come back. [[spoiler:He never made it back to his son, no thanks to Odeo's cult.]]
** Cube. He was build at the start of the story and [[spoiler:is forced into surviving in a spaceship with a behemoth and a [[AIIsACrapshoot rogue AI]], has 3 of his fellow crew-mates die, and if you lose this chapter, the Game Over screen says, "Alas, Cube never made it to earth."]]
** Huey from Cube's chapter, good heavens. '''Everything goes wrong''' in his life. [[http://lparchive.org/Live-a-Live/Update%2029/ This]] LetsPlay summarized it like this:
--->''So to summarize, Huey's job involves working with crates. [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys His girlfriend left him for the ship's pilot]], [[KickTheDog who never missed a chance to insult him and taunt him about it]]. He failed his captaincy exams, and Captain Hol didn't see one redeeming characteristic about him either, so he was probably going to get fired. And to top it all off, when he [[HeroicSacrifice tried to rescue his ex-girlfriend]], he ended up dying for his troubles, [[SenselessSacrifice and she didn't even make it either]]. This game freakin' hates Huey!''
** [[spoiler:Oersted/Odio. Over the course of his adventure, his primary quest ends with two of his companions dead and no rescued princess to show for it, he is duped into committing regicide, he goes from a hero to a pariah overnight, he is arrested and thrown in jail, his last friend dies helping him escape, he finds out that one of his friends faked his death and orchestrated his downfall out of sheer jealousy, and when he kills the bastard, the princess acting as his emotional anchor tells him to shove off and offs herself. No wonder he decides to punish all of humanity and ruin many people's lives.]]


Added DiffLines:

** Akira found his dad's corpse after hearing a gunshot, [[spoiler: discovered the Conspirators' horrid plan of kidnapping and melting humans to fuel a false god's revival (and couldn't prevent the kidnappings anyway), had to hear and refuse his bedridden sister's request of being melted just to save everyone instead, found out his bestie had drugged himself lethally to empower a mech that's only thing capable of slaying the false god, and turned out to be the one who shot his dad.]]
** Cube. He was built at the start of the story and [[spoiler:is forced into surviving in a spaceship with a vicious alien and a [[AIIsACrapshoot rogue AI]], has 4 of his fellow crew-mates die, and if you lose this chapter, the Game Over screen says, "Alas, Cube never made it to earth."]]
