41	* CuteMachines: They're essentially chibi versions of Garagon that sing and dance in an adorable voice.

110	----
111	* AmbiguouslyEvil: As a whole.
112	** The Deliverer helped Goichi escape when the Rat Catchers came after him, but she otherwise leaves hints for him to never return or else. And the Rat Catchers showed no qualms about attacking camp refugees waiting to go to Paradise as they try to capture Goichi.
113	** Additionally, [[spoiler:the true identity of Paradise is never revealed as the refuge camp is destroyed and all its denizens are killed by the Rat Catchers, while Tatsumi mentions that those who are brought to Paradise never return. It's implied something far more nefarious may have been going on.]]

124	----
125	* AmbiguouslyEvil: She may have appeared to help Sakaguchi pursue his dreams of becoming a Jazz star, but [[spoiler:there are hints that she may not really be benevolent. She's followed by five ghastly specters that attack people when she wills it and her manipulations of Sakaguchi ends with him dead when she leads him away; not to mention Karkland is shown to have gone insane after meeting her (and one of her ghost servants looks suspiciously like him).]]
126	* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Her true identity is an angel who helps Jazz musicians reach their potential. She had previously appeared to Buster Karkland and now appears to Sakaguchi to help him get his career off the ground.

141	* PlayingWithFire: He can fire a heat beam from his hand that he uses to kill off the Sabikong substance.

163	* HonestJohnsDealership: He's basically an extraterrestrial version of your classic fast-talking TV salesman, and although his products actually work, his customers usually wind up demanding the antidote. [[spoiler:And it turns out he isn't the only one of his kind stationed above Earth...]]

174	* {{Psychopomp}}: He's an ordinary human gifted with supernatural powers in order to help the dying transition to the "the Mother Land" [[spoiler:(an individual's happiest memories).]] [[spoiler:However, this gift comes at the cost of his childhood memories.]]

182	----
183	* JackassGenie: It grants wishes alright, but it will take away something you deeply cherish in exchange for each wish granted. The bigger the wish, the more precious the loss.
184	* SealedEvilInACan: The totem pole was created to imprison a demon that feeds on desire. Its twisted wishing-granting power comes from the trapped fiend.
185	* ShoutOut: Inspired by ''Literature/TheMonkeysPaw''. Mai's last two wishes are almost the exact same as those made in the story as well.

193	----
194	* JackassGenie: His meteorite perverts wishes as his way of punishing the selfishness of the wishers. The adults of Tsukizuki all wished to become children again -- he makes them mindless zombie-like children.
195	* HumanAliens: He seems to be such, with only his tongues giving away his true identity. [[spoiler:However, his upon death, a tentacled creature can be seen trying to escape his mouth, suggesting this was just a disguise.]]

205	----
206	* EvilTwin: Varno creates these using the Mirror of Darkness. However, they're less evil more unable to tell apart right from wrong, so Goichi was able to teach one about compassion and give her an understanding of morality.
207	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He and the Mirror of Darkness are destroyed offscreen by Anoru, one of their very own creations.]]
208	* MirrorMonster: Exists in the mirror realm and controls a giant reflective crystal that replaces people with mirrored versions of themselves.
209	* VaderBreath: Makes these as he steps forward from the Mirror of Darkness in search of Anoru and Goichi. His armour and sword add to the effect.

222	* MeaningfulName: In this series, Lilly's name is explained as being that named after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Lilly John C. Lilly]], the inventor of the isolation tank which her father obsessed over and tried to perfect in his own twisted way.
