** In #45, {{spoiler|Mezool gets this, again [[Killed Off for Real|but this time for real]]. First, Dr. Maki gives her a [[Hannibal Lecture]], telling her to stop pretending to feel love because she's incapable of it. This causes her to discard Gamel, the only one who truly loved her. While she does do some nasty things in that episode, it was all to finally be able to feel the maternal love she so desired but could never have. Ultimately, she's mortally wounded and [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|dies in Gamel's arms]], begging for more of the love she ''finally'' got to feel. Unlike [[Complete Monster|Kazari's]] [[Karmic Death]], Mezool's is far more bittersweet as all she wanted was love she was incapable of feeling for reasons that were in no way her fault.}}

* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Eiji has no family, job, or ambitions, but he doesn't really attach any importance to those things so it doesn't bug him. {{spoiler|However, he's often haunted by memories of a girl he'd befriended on his travels that [[I Let Gwen Stacy Die|he was unable to save.]]}}

But unlike the other upbeat songs listed here, this one is rather sad and melancholic, and in a handful of instances where it's used in the series, it certainly delivers the emotional weight of the scenes.

* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: Even with all the weirdness rampant in #27, one moment stands out: two random women come across the Squid-Jaguar Yummy and smack it around, then disappear before Ankh and Eiji get to it. That's really it—the women are only in the episode [[A Worldwide Punomenon|because their names contain the kanji for '1000'.]]

*** He's {{spoiler|responsible for both Mezool and Gamel being [[Killed Off for Real]], Mezool's for giving her a [[Hannibal Lecture]] that sends her on her rampage that causes OOO to kill her, Gamel's for causing Mezool's demise and then damaging some of his Cores which leads to his death. And from what he says to Ankh and the fact he was ready with Ptera Candroids to gather their Cores after their deaths, it's very likely he intended that this would happen! What's worse is that he personally believes that death by broken Cores pretty much erases the Greeed in question from existence, no afterlife because they're not alive to begin with. Doesn't matter if he's actually ''right'', that still means he killed two of the most sympathetic Greeed (and Kazari, but he had it coming) [[Deader Than Dead]] with absolutely no guilt at all! Yeah, he managed to kill Mezool and Gamel off in '''''an even more evil way than Kazari did!''''' And at the end of #46 he manages to top himself ''again'' by mutating Eiji into a berserk Greeed right as he and Ankh are reconciling, evidently deciding Ankh has [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|outlived his usefulness as well]]. He finally forcefeeds Uva Core Medals until he loses control, even while Uva is ''begging him to stop''. His demise was well deserved.}}

** {{spoiler|The ancient king / original OOO}} may qualify as well. {{spoiler|He's described as [[Selfish Evil|desire incarnate]] and had five sentient being created for no other reason but to kill them off and use their power to [[A God Am I|become a God]] and take over the world. He even literally stabbed Ankh, the only Greeed who was willingly helping him, in the back to steal his Core Medals to complete his plan. Ankh sided with him to backstab him and steal the power for himself, but he's got the excuse of being an embodiment of Greeed. What's scary here is the original OOO is a normal human.}}

* [[Ear Worm]]: The opening theme, "[http://blip.tv/kamen-rider/anything-goes-mv-4410884 Anything Goes]". Despite it being so happy, jumpy and weird compared to the opening themes of Decade and Double, you can't help but listen to it over and over again.
