Pet Shop of Horrors/YMMV

• Anvilicious: Shin Pet Shop of Horrors on motherhood, so much...!
• Esoteric Happy Ending: Many stories in Shin Pet Shop of Horrors.
• Epileptic Trees: These have spawned like weeds all across the Fandom over both copious amounts of Fridge Logic and Mind Screw, and the thickest forest is around D's family.
• Fairy Tale Motif: Eva's storyline parallels to the Hans Christian Andersen's Tear Jerker Fairy Tale, The Little Mermaid.
• Family-Unfriendly Aesop: The basic premise of the series--D's idea of "justice" is more than slightly skewed.
  • And not only of "justice" as of Shin Pet Shop of Horrors...
• Fan Nickname
  • D's grandfather: Sofu D, Q-chan
  • D's father: Dee, Papa D, Lord D, and, when he dies and is reborn at the end, chibi/mini/baby-D
  • The new D Chris meets: Young D, if not a case of Young D being the same Reborn!Dee
  • Taizu for Wu-fei Liu/Rau, even when it makes no sense, as seen above...
• High Octane Nightmare Fuel: It isn't called Pet Shop of Horrors for nothing; and it isn't for children either.
• Magnificent Bastard: D himself, promoted from Trickster; his father, from Manipulative Bastard; and his grandpa, from The Chessmaster.
• Replacement Scrappy: In Pet Shop Of Horrors: Tokyo, some fans are less than enchanted with Leon's replacement, Wu Fei. Most fans seem to agree that even if they like Wu Fei, they'd still rather have Leon back.
  • Wu-fei is becoming a Chew Toy: either Matsuri Akino dislikes him too, or she's just pleasing the audience that misses Leon so.
• Tear Jerker: That old lady and her teddy bear...sniff.
  • Monica. And the fact that apparently D's father, despite having no great love for humans, was saddened by her passing as well.
