1* BaseBreakingCharacter: Between Luke and Cecily. Although an insensitive {{Jerkass}} with [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold something of a heart of gold]] later on fans (particularly [[ValuesDissonance Western fans]]) support Luke over Cecily due to her violent {{Tsundere}} tendencies. This is not helped by the fact that the anime version ([[AdaptationDisplacement which many fans are more familiar with]]) portrays her as inept and weak compared to her original light novel and manga versions where she is far more competent and morally sound than Luke. However many fans of the anime nonetheless support Cecily for her more heroic traits alongside fans familiar with the manga and light novels.
2* BetterOnDVD: [[TooHotForTV There will be nudity]].
3* MemeticMutation: Guaranteed replies.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The anime adaptation of the scene where Luke saves Cecily by cleanly cutting her attacker's broadsword with his forged katana tended to spark "katana vs. broadsword" debates (or the general infamy of KatanasAreJustBetter) on [[Website/FourChan /a/]].[[/labelnote]]
4* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Siegfried's utterly brutal beatdown on Cecily]].
5* TheScrappy: To some, Princess Charlotte and her entourage (at least in the anime). As a result of being EasilyForgiven {{Karma Houdini}}s for trying to kill Cecily and trying to kidnap both Aria and Luke, then behaving like [[EntitledBastard entitled bastards]] by demanding that Cecily puts them up while they stay in the city.
6* SignatureScene: Luke using his forged katana to cleanly cut someone's broadsword in front of Cecily is his EstablishingCharacterMoment as the titular Sacred Blacksmith.
7* TearJerker: During [[spoiler:Siegfried's assault, Cecily, in desperation and terror, flat-out ''screams'' for Luke. But there is no BigDamnHeroes moment. Luke does not come to save her. Cecily is brutally beaten, mocked about her helplessness, and left naked and traumatized on the dirty floor of a barn. After Siegfried leaves, she's so sickened and shaken that she vomits]]. It's a horrific scene and utterly heart-wrenching.
