* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: The true nature of the Minus class. To quote one Minus: "Do you know the taste of gas that your parent makes you swallow? How about the taste of licking a perverted teacher's shoe? The taste of sand that your classmates make you swallow? At least you know the taste of a newspaper that was the only food you could obtain? Of course you don't know, because you guys are the happy ones. But those kinds of tastes are just how it is for us, Class Minus 13's members. We have experienced the worst, that's why we can do the worst."
* [[Jumping the Shark]]/[[Growing the Beard]]: An amazing example due to [[Genre Shift]]. Pick one of any of these major arc-ending [[Shocking Swerve|Shocking Swerves]] / arc-climaxes:
** The unveiling of a DBZ style [[Super -Powered Evil Side]] for Medaka -- Perses Mode, which happened when the manga first started dipping into fighting manga, and the semi-realistic tone was dropped.
** The unveiling of the Flask Plan to artificially create [[Mary Sue|Mary Sues]], the discovery of a ''15-story government weapons research lab under their school'' and the start of essentially [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil|a year long fight scene against progressively more eccentric and over the top characters.]]
** The arrival of the "-Abnormals" and "Class -13" -- Abnormals that aren't [[Mary Sue]] parodies - but rather, ''[[Anti Sue]]'' parodies. At this point, all attempts at a realistic tone were completely dropped, in lieu of people who can instantly heal any wound, disintegrate entire buildings, are so awesome the brain literally [[Invisibility|cannot]] [[Unperson|bear]] [[Ret Gone|to remember them]].
