Jyu-Oh-Sei/YMMV


 * Ass Pull: Thor's  is introduced late in the series, and only used once for some inexplicable and seemingly senseless reason, and only after it was brought to his attention by the plot. It makes sense in the manga though it's mostly symbolic.
 * Foe Yay: Thor/Zagi, and to some extent as well.
 * Ho Yay: Mostly between Thor and Third, and Thor and Zagi. Several scenes are just dripping with subtext.
 * Zagi especially can't keep his hands off of Thor, especially in the manga (where the Ho Yay is so obvious that Karim gets jealous of Thor). Third prefers the "getting into his face" method.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Third. He's so blatant about it that Thor calls him out on it at one point, but mostly he goes relatively undetected.
 * The Masochism Tango: Zagi and Karim.
 * Scenery Porn: It's a beautiful planet to look at, but you wouldn't want to live there...
 * Starboarding: Tiz loves Thor who loves Karim who loves Zagi who is obsessed with Thor.
 * Tear Jerker: "It was me who killed . ... So if you want to hate someone, hate me. Keep on hating me... so you won't ever forget me."
 * Toy Ship: Thanks to the shortened lifespan of humans (50 years even in the most medically advanced colonies), people tend to start relationships early. Just before Thor and Rai were sent to Chimera, the average age for marriage was about 14.
 * Unfortunate Implications: Despite women wielding power and being able to choose their own husbands, a woman who does not bear children is considered an oddity. Tiz even goes so far as to say that it is unnatural that she, at seventeen, has not had any children of her own.
 * This is justified given that they live in a half-civilized society, and have a short life-span. Thor even says in the end that the women of Chimaera are the saviors of humankind, or something to that effect.
 * Also, despite the fact that Chen and Karim have both proven themselves adept at fighting, they seem to prefer being weaker and more submissive to the masculine characters. Tiz is as well, but her fighting skills are more of an Informed Ability.
 * In the case of both Chen and Karim it's a result of them being infatuated with a certain man (Third and Zagi, respectively), especially Karim, who has a sort of a Masochism Tango with Zagi.
 * Even though the local society allows women the free pick of sexual partners, two principal female characters give up this privilege to fawn after men who are completely uninterested in them, and the other is in a Masochism Tango with a man who never admits that he cares about her.
 * Truth in Television?
