Rescue Romance | |
| Kairos (Comic Book) / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Averted. One can sense that Nils was hoping that rescuing Anaëlle would somehow earn her love. But given her fierce wish for independence, it ultimately doesn't work out that way. | |

Hourglass Plot | |
| Kairos (Comic Book) / int_66907f54 | comment |
When Anaëlle tries to open the door to get inside, Nils simply uses his head and tries the back door and opening the front door from the inside. In the process, Anaëlle's bashing her way inside mildly injure Nils. In a reversal of their roles, it's Nils who's bashing his way to get "inside" the castle, whilst Anaëlle gets in the easy way and uses her head to fix the problem. And this time, he's the one who unintentionally "hurts" Anaëlle (by killing her family). | |

Deconstruction | |
| Kairos (Comic Book) / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: The entire series ultimately deconstructs the entire concept of a knight saving the princess from dragons. For one, our "knight" Nils steadily becomes monstrous as the series goes on. Our "princess" Anaëlle never asked to be saved in the first place, and the dragons are her people. | |

You Are Better Than You Think You Are!: Downplayed. Kuma implies to a humbled Nils that just as Koyot viewed the young man's quest as noble, Kuma too thought his intentions were somewhat noble. At least in the beginning. It's also played straight when he offers words of comfort that Nils is capable of moving on with his life without Anaëlle. | |

Year Outside, Hour Inside | |
| Kairos (Comic Book) / int_d75a1703 | comment |
Year Outside, Hour Inside: The Dragon Kingdom is the "Inside", whereas our world is the "Outside". A couple days in the Dragon World can equate to months. This is evidenced when the little dragon girl comments that Anaëlle has grown quickly after being gone from their kingdom for a relatively short while. Meanwhile, Nils returns to our world while it's winter. Bear in mind, it was summer when he left. | |
