Ambiguous Innocence: Max. He doesn't understand the danger that he's in or the concept of losing someone forever. |

Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: A deranged kidnapping teacher really puts a damper on the whimsy of the first half of the book. |

Gainax Ending: The final chapter. Is Budo dead? Is he Dee's imaginary friend now? The author purposefully left it open to interpretation. |

Fate Worse than Death: Not existing, to Budo. Of course, to an imaginary friend, not existing is death. |

comment |
Hesitant Sacrifice: Budo knows that if he helps Max to grow, Max won't need him anymore, and he will die. His conflicted feelings drive much of his characterization. |
