Line 6:
* Why is Belldandy (at least in the early manga/anime) thick as a brick when it comes to actual basic human behavior? For example, she actually had to be told that using magic to change your clothes in public is not considered normal. Her one and only job involves constant interaction with humans. Why didn't they bother teaching her this kind of thing?
** Seeing as how usually Goddesses do not end up in a contract like this with a human, it makes sense. She never spent her time day in and day out with humans. Therefore, her not understanding using her magic to changed clothing in public really DOES make sense if you think about it.
* In chapter 243 of the manga, Hild [
** Well given it has never happend most likely it is all talk. Remember Mara wasn't exactly expecting what happened with the king of terror who is so far the only demon that seems to be willing to destroy the world.
** Other then the Lord of Terror there hasn't been any demons trying to destroy the world. And the LoT is suggested to pre-date the current way of things.
Line 95:
*** Heaven doesn't give them away either. Both sides follow the same rules, one of that there are only certain people that can qualify for wishes and another was implied that they have to be able to achieve those dreams themselves.
* Since all of the people who receive wishes from the goddesses are all supposedly kind, caring, giving people, why hasn't one of them wished for something reality-warping like an end to poverty, end to disease, world peace, etc.? Since they are informed that they can wish for "anything", why hasn't one of these supposedly giving people tried this? Or are they all just idiots?
** I believe the wishes have to be approved by Heaven, so any such wish would be constrained by the author. I did once read an [https://web.archive.org/web/20180115193229/http://www.yggdrasil.org/omg/index.html AMG fanfic], though, in which one character, a man in young middle age, meets Skuld and finds her charming, and offhand says aloud that he wishes he could be her big brother. Hilarity ensues.
** Belldandy herself implies ''in the first chapter'' that while wishes can theoretically be for anything, the candidate selection and approval process seems to lend itself to certain kinds of wishes. Note that Keiichi's wish has far-reaching implications but is still approved despite protests, possibly because it's non-malicious and humble.
** Also, the goddesses have outright denied multiple wishes throughout the series. The excuse was usually "That's not what you really want" or something along those lines. I haven't seen a single wish granted that wasn't either made in jest or wished for off-hand accidentally. I think [[God]] has a little bit of an ironic sense of humor.
