Line 7:
* In one of the first pages, Victor has a conversation with his mother the day before starting school. His mother pleads him to make friends, since in Miedópolis they had to pay some kids to be Victor's friends. While admittedly funny, it also means Victor [[Friendless Background|never really had friends in his previous hometown]]. Worse, it's pretty obvious he has [[No Social Skills|zilch knowledge]] about the concept of [[True Companions|true friendship]] and what it entails. [[Fridge Horror|It's pretty sad to think about]].
 
* There's also a moment that marks Victor as a [[Jerkass Woobie]]: {{spoiler|He has been trying to get [[Big Bad|Rattus Sapiens]]'s plan to kill off the entirety of Villa Susto to succeed, which would make him absolutely despicable. However, he does this because he's just ''that desperate'' to go back home, and as he himself admits, his estanceexperience in Villa Susto has been [[Humiliation Conga|less than pleasant]], which is understandable to an extent why he doesn't give a crap about the town. He even [[Cry Cute|breaks down crying]] after Frank (unintentionally) sabotages his plan to go back home.}} Anyone who would go to those lengths just to return to his normal life speaks volumes about how miserable Victor is, and how much he suffers for the whole "moving to a completely different lifestyle" experience.

* {{spoiler|Victor revealing his [[Face Heel Turn]] to the Frank's Gang, starting with him rejecting their team's uniform. True, it wasn't a pretty uniform to begin with, but it's still quite the [[Kick the Dog]].}}
** The aforementioned event is very similar to the previous tearjerker moment mentioned in the first album. {{spoiler|It's clear Victor doesn't enjoy the betrayal, mostly due to the fact Morty's Gang is ''[[Straw Loser|way worse]]'' than the Frank's Gang could ever be, and gets put through hell. Worse yet? When he claims the deal he made with Morty, he cruelly tells him [[Did You Actually Believe?|he never intended to keep the bargain and only used him to get Frank's brains]], rendering his betrayal ''for nothing''.}} While [[Laser-Guided Karma|he deserved most of it]], it's still quite sad.
** From this moment until Piruja returns, you can see Frank with a melancholic expression on his face. {{spoiler|It's clear he's deeply hurt by Victor's [[Et Tu, Brute?|betrayal]], especially since they were playing at his house the day before and possibly feeling guilt for pushing him away due to his inventions failing as usual. Victor just [[Kick the Dog|rubbing it in his face]] was just the icing of the cake., which is so douchebaggy you'll Thankbe Godglad [[Jerk with a Heart of Jerk|Victor]] is a [[Laser-Guided Karma|karma magnet]].}}
** You think Frank has it bad? Imagine poor [[Dogged Nice Girl|Piruja]]! As if having to deal with [[Anything That Moves|her mom]] and [[Spiders Are Scary|a giant spider]] wasn't enough already...
