History YMMV / TheDisastrousLifeOfSaikiK

* FriendlyFandoms: With ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'', as both series star teenage overpowered psychics. Saiki and Mob have a tendency to appear in fanart together.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: While Shun Kaido's {{Chuunibyou}} antics are considered weird to his classmates, they're endearing to the fandom. He ranked 2nd place for the first popularity poll.

*** The large female PeripheryDemographic may also explain the amount of FanService of the male characters, compared to the female characters.

** Also muddying the waters is if Saiki should be with Aiura. On one hand, Aiura's ego is nowhere near as large as Teruhashi's and her being a psychic also makes her more compatible with Saiki. She also has tagged Saiki as her soulmate, but detractors of the ship point out that predictions in the show are constantly proven changeable.

** The morning four minutes anime adaptation is aimed at an even younger crowd, but according a [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/06/09/japanese-fans-pick-their-most-anticipated-summer-2016-anime poll run by the Japanese site Charapedia]] it was the most highly anticipated Summer2016Anime between the female voters, ranking 3rd in the overall rank even though it was not even in the top 10 between male voters. The nightly broadcast of twenty minutes compilation episodes with a more serious opening theme is probably geared towards this public.

* {{Woolseyism}}: The trailer for the second season of the anime acknowledges the show is on {{Creator/Netflix}} but the follow up joke varies based on language. The Japanese trailer has Saiki asking if he will be on a dating show, while the English trailer has him asking [[Series/StrangerThings if he’s going to be stuck “fighting monsters with those 80’s kids]].

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Saiki's female form, Kusuko/Kuriko is surprisingly popular among the fans, despite only showing up in a few stories in short bursts. To put this in perspective, she ranked 7th in the cast for the first popularity poll. One spot behind Teruhashi, and ahead of Hairo, Saiki's parents, Chiyo, and Mera.

* AwesomeMusic: Kaidou's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhBpp0yEQH0 Judgement Knights of Thunder theme]] is pretty damn epic-sounding.

* BaseBreaker: If Saiki x Teruhashi should be a ship made canon. Detractors of the ship point out that Saiki isn't interested in romance, or that the one thing that keeps Teruhashi sympathetic in the face of her godly luck and charisma is that FailureIsTheOnlyOption for her in trying to win Saiki's feelings. On the other hand, a few artists have made well-received works featuring the two together. Supporters of the ship also point out that Teruhashi's crush on Saiki is what is responsible for her CharacterDevelopment (actually caring about Saiki's unpopular friends, and the need to be true to herself) and that Saiki himself may be in denial about his true feelings (he admits his powers and Teruhashi's charisma make them unbeatable, and he refuses to let creeps fawn over her).

** Though the manga is published in a magazine aimed at [[ShonenDemographic pre-teen and teenage boys]], it's more popular with older girls. Shueisha even had the author to create an original special chapter for publication in the {{Josei}} magazine Cocohana as a way for advertisement.
