Line 76:
** Kano is the ego and also [[The Face]] personality, the closest thing to a balance between the extremes of the others.
** The superego is Kid, [[The Empath]] who insists on kindness and moderation in a way which would be so very annoying if it weren't adorable.
** Dark begins as the id, before being usurped by Red. Dark was formed as a personality to defend the system from the outside world, but by the time we see him he functions with a deceiving pragmatism and capricious brutality, eventually becoming [[The Atoner]]. Now Red, role-accroaching ghost of a [[Serial Killer]], is left to represent all the worst of a humanity's basic instincts plus a cunning, malicious deviousness, and without him actions such as violence cannot be expressed.<br />Notable interactions here are Red's attempts to provoke Kano, Kid's dynamic with Dark (which was originally one of symbiosis and is now...not), and Kid's utter inability or unwillingness to stand up to Red, while he still reasons with his big brother (to decreasing effect).
* [[Genre Blindness]]: You've just fallen [[Down the Rabbit Hole]], Kano! Now that you're in a mysterious magical universe, why don't you tell your real name to the first [[Living Toys|creepy nonhuman]] you meet, who seems strangely interested in it? [[Sarcasm Mode|It certainty couldn't cause any problems]].
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Red has made several jabs at the plot, mentioning once that it sounds like a "really bad anime."
Line 203:
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: This trope is not a true definition of Kano's death-and-revival, but he invokes it later to explain.

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: [[Word of God]] is that [http://www.formspring.me/antiFAQ/q/186004839170348445 we'll never clearly see what Red looked like in life] because it's [[Nothing Is Scarier|scarier for the audience to fill in what he looked like for themselves]], and he was a relatively normal looking guy.
