The Big O remains largely focused on its noir-meets-mecha storytelling. Characters are written with depth and their actions make sense within the logic of the world. Identity factors are not emphasized over plot, and there’s no evidence of forced representation or flawless diverse characters overshadowing genuine development.

Traditional roles are neither mocked nor excessively subverted. The series reflects classic detective and action tropes with a masculine lead whose strength and stoicism are celebrated. There's little attempt to undermine religion, family, or traditional morality. The show draws from classic Western and Japanese inspirations without revisionist tendencies.

Different viewpoints exist. Authority, free will, and morality are debated. The characters’ worldviews often clash, nobody is reduced to a caricatured villain for traditional beliefs. No modern ideological consensus is pushed among the cast, and pluralism is built into the story’s mysteries.
