Pandora Hearts/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Non Sequitur Scene: The demonic doll that attacks Oz when he falls into the Abyss (anime only) contributes nothing to the plot besides burning episode time and freaking us out.
  • Cargo Ship: As revealed in Chapter 71 Oz was originally a pair of stuffed rabbit dolls. Do the math. Especially since Alice owned one of his bodies.
  • Complete Monster: Isla Yura. Is messed up in the head, manipulates people for kicks, plans on re-enacting the Tragedy Of Sablier for further kicks, and unlike other baddies, lacks a Freudian Excuse.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome:
    • The anime has some seriously awesome music, particularly the version of "Lacie" with Surprisingly Good English vocals.
    • What were you expecting? It's composed by Yuki Kajiura after all.
    • Don't forget Bloody Rabbit. When that song comes on, you know something awesome is gonna happen.
    • Even the preview music manages to impress viewers.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Don't deny it, we all love Reim. Even though some may think differently.
    • Elliot's a pretty popular character as well, and his death scene made him moreso.
  • Evil Is Sexy: Lottie. And the author is aware of that.
    • Glen Baskerville also has his fangirls. Specifically, all the Glens have his own fangirls.
  • Foe Yay: Vincent and Lotti. So much.
    • And now there's also Break and Lotti.
    • There's also a little bit of Vincent and Break at some parts.
    • Adding to the list, Reim and Lily.
  • Ho Yay: Has its own page.
  • HSQ: The fans thought the rather high quotient the manga has been keeping since the start of the year would only have subtle changes, then we get...
    • Retrace 65, from page 51 on. Whoa nelly, make sure your grandmother's not in the room when you read this one. It's the Plot Twist to end all plot twists.
    • As of Retrace 70, Oz is apparently B-Rabbit, and his body is actually Jack's body. Raise your hand if you saw that coming.
  • Inherently Funny Words: How Jack pronounces his name in the original Japanase voicing. Like "Ja-CQKKK".
  • Jerkass Woobie: Vincent, Break.
  • Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Oz and Gil. Mainly Gil.
  • Les Yay:
    • Sharon likes to dress Alice up and even got her to call her big sister.
    • And in the anime, there's also Lottie, Ada, and the poison. Not that I'm complaining, Heavens no!
  • Magnificent Bastard: Xerxes Break, Vincent Nightray and Rufus Barma count.
  • Memetic Molester: Break will appear under your bed without warning! The fact that he's fond of giving younger characters candy doesn't help.
    • Vincent and Lotti, the king and queen of badtouch.
    • Glen/Revis became this ever since it turned out that he impregnated Lacie.
  • Moe: Little Gilbert. And then Oz puts him in situations that only increase his moe-ness. Also, Oz in a maid dress.
    • There's Lily, too. That is, whenever she's not busy being a Creepy Child.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
  • Rewatch Bonus: The manga's complicated plot is enough to drive people to look for these.
  • Ugly Cute: Rufus Barma. Specifically, the first form Oz and the gang meet him with.
  • The Woobie:
    • Elliot.
    • Oz, his father has ignored him his whole life and was the very person who sent him into the abyss.
    • Gilbert and Vince too. Say what you will, but those two have gone to hell and back.
    • Leo too. His best friend is now dead, and he feels like everything is all his fault.
    • Alice, Break, Echo... it's actually easier to count who isn't a Woobie.
    • Elliot deserves repeating. It's pretty clear the author loves to torture her characters, but Elliot gets the brunt of it by far.
  • World of Woobie
