Line 2:
* [[Big Name Fan]]: [[Quentin Tarantino]] named this as one of his all-time favorite movies. He ''would.''
* [[Broken Base]]: Everyone generally likes the novel, and will typically also like either the film or the manga, but rarely both. Any of the three may be preferred though, and huge arguments are inevitable when trying to posit one version over the other. Especially on the most active forum for it, which is at IMDB. A [[Captain Obvious|film forum]].
* [[Complete Monster]]: Sakamochi/Kamon and Toshinori Oda are considered to be the worst of the lot. Kiriyama can also considered to be this, especially after {{spoiler|he gunned down Mitsuko when she experienced her [[Villainous Breakdown]]. With a smile on his face.}}
** Also, Kazushi Niida, a bully who tried to rape one of his class mates and killed a class mate having a mental breakdown.
** In the manga, Mitsuko's stepfather also counts. While Mitsuko is arguably a [[Complete Monster]] herself, his abuse is what caused her to become one. Her mother isn't much better, allowing this to continue and even beating Mitsuko herself. This troper almost cheered when {{spoiler|Mitsuko convinced her older boyfriend to kill both of them.}}
*** In the novel, Mitsuko's mother, who first prostituted her at nine years old, and continued to do so {{spoiler|until Mitsuko killed her.}} Also Yuko's father, who abused, beaten and terrorized her and her mother and brother {{spoiler|until he was murdred by a yakuza member.}}
* [[Contested Sequel]]
* [[Covered Up]]: Unofficial alternate title in the West: "[[The One With...|That]] [[Manga]] that's sort of like ''[[The Hunger Games]]'' but came before it."
