1* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon Kanako Fujishima]] is an empty sadist behind her sweet face. Having abused her boyfriend Ogata [[DrivenToSuicide to his suicide]], Kanako lures another student to be raped and joins a mob-affiliated [[HumanTraffickers trafficking group]] where she [[AlphaBitch abuses and bullies students]], convincing some to prostitute themselves or setting up others to be violated by older men [[ForTheEvulz for nothing but the complete thrill of her actions]].]]
2* HarsherInHindsight: This movie was released in 2014. Two years later the story of a 17 year old girl from New Zealand (known as "Poison Ivy") who bullied weak men into degrading themselves online before encouraging them to kill themselves became known. Something very similar happens in this movie.
3* IAmNotShazam: People have assumed that the protagonist is called Kanako. This is wrong, his name is Akikazu, Kanako is the name of his daughter (she plays an important role but is not the protagonist).
4* MoralEventHorizon:
5** While Akikazu was not exactly an angel before, he definitely crosses it after he completely willingly [[spoiler:rapes Detective Aikawa's wife]], although we can safely assume that she did not really have a much better life with her super-evil and highly sociopathic husband before this.
6** [[spoiler: [[TheSociopath Kanako]] crossed the line [[GreaterScopeVillain even before the movie started]], such as [[TheCorrupter corrupting a relatively decent teenager to his lowest point]], to running a sex-ring involving young girls, all for the sake of [[{{Sadist}} sadism]] and [[SocialDarwinist her belief that the strong must dominate the weak.]] [[FromBadToWorse And that's just the icing on the cake.]]]]
7* NightmareFuel: The world that this film shows is so ugly and frightening and the people in it are so evil that the film as a whole turns into this after the truth about Kanako is revealed (especially what we learn about the [[spoiler:prostitution ring]] and the [[spoiler:child molesters]]).
