Line 9:
* '''Subverted''': That new "Emperor Evulz" was actually the Emperor's son, who began [[Legacy Character|masquerading as his father]] to avoid the [[Evil Power Vacuum|backlash that comes with an emperor dying]].
* '''Double Subverted''': That was just the story that the Emperor gave. It really is him, but he doesn't want his possession of secret resurrection [[Phlebotinum]] to be common knowledge.
* '''Parodied''': No one goes to anyone's funeral because they know they'll be alive the next day. [[If You Die, I Call Your Stuff]] is thrown around like "shotgun".
* '''Deconstructed''':
** A world where everyone can come back to life after death is portrayed realistically. People who really shouldn't be around anymore are back, and there's very little that can be done about it. Alternatively, the unchecked population growth of such a world leads to the collapse of society from overpopulation and struggle for resources.
