Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Cat Kingdom honestly doesn't understand why Haru is so unhappy.he'll not think twice before destroying the world and everyone on it. Beware the Nice Ones: Baron Humbert von Gikkingen is a kind, gentle and polite guy, even during the middle of a fight.Be Yourself: The Baron's advice to Haru.Be Careful What You Wish For: Haru makes the mistake of musing out loud to a Literal-Minded Cat Kingdom resident that it'd be great to be a cat.Baleful Polymorph: After winding up in the Cat Kingdom, Haru begins to turn into a cat herself.The animated version severely toned him down and he still kicked butt.
