Buddha/YMMV

Alas, Poor Villain: Ahimsa dies just as he learns to forgive monks. King Prassenajit and Devadatta also get this.
Complete Monster: Bandaka is an abusive, murderous, power-hungry prick and just about the only character with zero redeeming features. Thankfully, he dies two volumes in.
Does This Remind You of Anything?: A conversation between Tatta and Yatala ("You're the first guy I've met who gets who I feel." "My thoughts never understood. I talk to you. I feel you understand.") reads like a Coming Out Story.
Tear Jerker: Many. Assaji's and Chapra's deaths come to mind. Buddha after Tatta dies. When Tatta was willing to be eaten by a snake so that his friends could live. Praesenajit dies without seeing Buddha again. Has its own page.
Values Dissonance: Among other things, almost everybody is practically naked.
- It Makes Sense in Context. This happened in Antiquity, before the Maurya Empire (the first major Indian civilization). Given that every Iron Age civilization had some level of acceptable public nudity, not to mention that Gautama Buddha's Jain contemporary Mahairva was known to travel naked after enlightenment, there is some historical justification. Modesty didn't really develop in the subcontinent until the Middle Ages, possibly not even until after the Islamic conquests.
