Kurohime/YMMV
< Kurohime
- Anticlimax/Gainax Ending: Depending on how much you think Kurohime's final resurrection was Ass Pull and whether or not you wanted to see her fight the other High Gods.
- Complete Monster: Yashahime again, so much so that in one of his better moods, Darkray specifically warned the Death Angels not to get on her bad side. Nice to know even HE had standards.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: Kurohime killing Darkray, with the help of Zero.
- Sword's reappearance, showing that while Kurohime got weaker, she Took a Level In Badass.
- The second time she faced her, Kurohime's utter pwnage of Yashahime. First, she refuses to give on up saving Zero, foiling Yasha's plan to destroy Kurohime in the most emotionally painful way possible. Next, after Hime depowers at the worst possible moment, Yashahime moves in for the kill, only for Yukio and O-yuki to step in and give her a hand. In a parallel of their first fight, Yashahime catches the blade dragon only to notice too late that there were two of them. Cue Oh Crap.
- Pretty much anytime a god dies.
- Yashahime's actual death. After trying and failing to crush Hime to death with her hand, she finally decides to take the direct approach and pulls her face up from the depths of the planet to simply crush Kandata's ship between her teeth. Having no other logical choice, Hime decides to have the Ultimate Sword live up to its name. She does this by slicing Yashahime aka the planet in half. Yes, Kurohime has now killed the entire world. And it's BEAUTIFUL.
- Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Many. Zero refusing to give up on Himeko is one of many.
- Later, her refusing to give up on him. It appears even he was touched.
- Kurohime confessing her love to Zero, anyone?
- How Aika and Saika got together.

- Not that he wants to admit it but Dark Zero is pleased Raida is still alive.
- Asura and her mother, the village elder, finally making up, after all this time. It cost the village elder her life, but she has more or less been dead since Asura was born.
- The return of Zero.
- The White God Tree that Yamatohime gives Kurohime allows her to resurrect the people that were sealed in the Black God Tree. Ouka's father is one of the first people reborn. *smile*
- Evil Is Sexy: Darkray, as lampshaded by Yashahime.
- One could argue, Kurohime, if you replace Evil with Jerkass.
- Zero after he became the new Death God.
- Growing the Beard: The first three or so volumes are fanservice-filled fun, if a bit repetitive. Around volume three, the action picks up as Kurohime starts to resume her battle with the gods; by volume five, she's had, and won, an epic showdown with Dark Ray, and Zero is dead.
- Holy Shit Quotient: Apparently the author got tired of readers complaining about the Journey To The Past arc and decided to up the ante starting with chapter 59.
- Moe: Zero is TOO adorable.
- Nightmare Fuel: Once we learn just what they are and how they became that powerful, the Great Gods become this easily.
- Yashahime, who decides to get creepier and creepier everytime she appears.
- Hime's resurrection.
- Purity Stu: Zero, particularly in the beginning. Then, very much deconstructed.
- Wangst: Yashahime NEVER stops complaining about Darkray's death despite the circumstances surrounding it and tries to use it as an excuse to kill humanity (along with Kurohime) and try to date the new Death God.
- The Woobie: Zero, both of them obviously. Also an Iron Woobie. Himeko when she realizes the consequences of her actions.
- Jerkass Woobie: Rei. Ouka sees Kurohime as a Stoic Jerkass Woobie.
