* CompleteMonster: [[ItsAllAboutMe Gabriel Yulaw]] is a sociopathic interdimensional criminal with [[AGodAmI a God complex]]. Originally an [[FallenHero officer of the Multiverse Authority]], Yulaw discovered that, by killing his [[AlternateSelf alternate selves]], he would gain their life energies and essence. Yulaw then set about across dozens of parallel universes, killing all of his alternate selves in an effort to become "the One," a being of godlike power. Having already succeeded in killing 123 of his targets, Yulaw was briefly detained, but broke free, murdering several guards before teleporting himself to the universe of his final target, [[TheHero Gabe Law]]. Upon arriving, Yulaw went on a killing spree, killing several police officers as he sought out Gabe to kill him. When his former ally, Harry Rodecker, arrived to stop him, Yulaw delivered a brutal beatdown upon his former friend, ultimately killing him. He then proceeded to gun down Gabe's wife, making sure that Gabe was watching while he did so. After his final showdown with Gabe ended with the two of them being transported back to MVA headquarters, Yulaw attempted to frame Gabe for his crimes. Arrogant and sadistic, Yulaw lived for nothing more than power and his own egomania.

If either character identified as bisexual or pansexual and were treated as such in the series, this wouldn't be an issue, but they aren't. Most characters (including Luo and Lele's father) describe it as them turning straight/stopped being gay.

!!''The One'' (TV series)
* FridgeLogic: As described in the show, all a match ''really'' guarantees is powerful mutual attraction. As generally imagined, a soulmate is ''more'' than powerful attraction; it's someone you can build a life with, someone who will challenge you and make you grow. For that, it'd be pretty important to consider cultural factors--something you can't tell from a person's genes (ie. I won't date someone who uses heroine, or has radically different politics than I do, or one of us wants kids while the other doesn't). This is largely absent from the show. This could be considered a PlotHole, or HandWave. Or, it might actually make sense: All we know for sure is that matches are people whose pheromones jive. We know ''nothing'' about the long-term outcomes for such couples, because--in-universe--this technology hasn't even existed for 2 full years yet. Real-world science usually puts the shelf-life of passion at 3 or 4 years. It would be entirely in-character for Rebecca is she stumbled upon this genetic feature, and then projected the vastness of the cultural ideal of soulmates onto it, without having any ''real'' evidence that there's anything more than compatible pheromones going on here.
