Pat about to go fight Mimosa: "Yeah, let's go kill someone!!"

In spite of the game's Saturday Morning Cartoon look, it seemingly averts Never Say "Die", with almost all of the bosses Chai fights explode into nothing upon defeat, implying they just died in front of him, yet this never really seems to be brought into question by anyone or is just taken in stride.

The ending, in which Chai finally starts learning to play guitar, can also be viewed either way: He can finally start practicing now that he has a working arm again, or his Character Development has inspired him to give it a try. That interpretation also plays a bit better with his Slacker tendencies. However, Chai's response to Peppermint asking about his guitar skills is one of nervousness and attempting to dodge the question, which in a world where getting a working prosthetic arm is a mundane procedure feels somewhat inconsistent with him having a legitimate physical barrier with not being able to play guitar. Later, he takes Kale's insult that he is "nothing without his arm" very personally. Is Chai's inability to play the guitar at the start of the story just because his arm was not fully functional, or did he never bother learning to begin with? For the former, it was why he participated in Project Armstrong to get a new arm.

Furthermore, Roquefort reveals that Kale saved his life by giving him a robotic body, implying that he might have a genuinely good side to him underneath his corrupted nature, which, in turn, adds further credence that he is a Well-Intentioned Extremist.
