1%%zce* EnsembleDarkhorse: Stryker to some (including some in-show characters).
2* HarsherInHindsight: Remember all those "[[LovableSexManiac endearing]] [[HeroicComedicSociopath traits]]" Kanta had that were PlayedForLaughs? [[spoiler:After the reveal of his true nature, go back and watch the series again and you realize it's not quite as funny anymore]].
3* LoveToHate: [[spoiler:Kanta, the main character himself. He's an unrepentant asshole who only looks out for himself. Many fans would also argue that he is a hilarious character ''because'' of how much of a selfish JerkAss he is. Granted the "love" part becomes a lot harder to discern as the series goes on]]…
4* MoralEventHorizon: Kanta and Junko cross this further and further as the series goes on.
5* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Almost every single character is a massive {{jerkass}}, and the few exceptions never prosper in this world. By the middle of the series, it's quite clear that none of the three major characters have a HiddenHeartOfGold. Pretty much summing things up is the comment by the LemonyNarrator in the last episode in respect to the AfterTheEnd setting, which is to the effect that "[[EightDeadlyWords With people like this, it doesn't matter if humanity goes extinct]]."
6%%zce* TooCoolToLive: Kanta looked to be this [[spoiler:but he actually joined the government]].
7* {{Woolseyism}}: The English dub throws in a lot of fourth-wall breaking humor and also translates the songs into English.
