** Averted when [[spoiler: Ben goes blind and has to pick a new leader for the pack. According to both him and Akame, anyone in the pack have the strenght to be a leader, but Ben wants one who also have "determination and a strong sense of justice". The choice goes to Gin, despite him probably being (at least one of) the youngest of them.]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The pack leader is always the strongest fighter in the group.

** And [[spoiler:Ben]], who lived after [[spoiler:a giant rock fell on him.]] Not to mention that throughout the serie, he also [[spoiler:got poisoned, fell down a deep gorge, and suffered lots of straight blows from Akakabuto's claws that would most likely have killed any of the random dogs.]] The guy surely deserves a place in the {{Badass}} section.

** [[spoiler:In the manga, Sniper kills Hyena immediately upon witnessing his HeelFaceTurn in the act of saving Ben.]]

** In the anime, no. In the manga, [[spoiler:we see Ben, Sniper and Hyena as they all fell into a river. Hyena saves Ben from drowning, but is then killed by Sniper]].

** And [[spoiler:Ben]], who lived after [[spoiler:a giant rock fell on him.]] Not to mention that throughout the serie, he also [[spoiler:got poisoned, fell down a deep gorge, and suffered lots of straight blows from Akakabuto's claws that would most likely have instantly killed any of the random dogs.]] The guy surely deserves a place in the {{Badass section.}}

** And [[spoiler:Ben]], who lived after [[spoiler:a giant rock fell on him.]]

* GenreShift: It starts out as an ABoyAndHisX series... and then the focus shifts to the dogs.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While the serie didn't recieve much attention in either Japan or America, it became a huge hit in Scandinavia and Finland, having the anime being dubbed into each of the languages, the serie (while being majorly censored) released on VHS, and the manga currently translated into finnish.

* GenreShift: It starts out as an ABoyAndHisX series... and then the focus shifts to the dogs.

* HeartwarmingMoments: When Gin risks his life to save Daisuke

* Mooks: Every pack the heroes encounter contains foot soldier dogs that gets mowed down en masse during the fight.

** Averted with the hunting bow, which is considered more powerful than most of the rifles.

* Eye Scream: Sickle through the eye, anyone?

* GoForTheEye - Plenty of the attacks in the series are aimed at the opponents eyes, often with gruesome results [[spoiler:Terry, Kurotora, Akatora, Kurojaki, Akakabuto.]]

* GonnaFlyNowMontage: Near the beginning of episode 4 with Gin and Daisuke played to the opening song.

** Let's face it. If '''any''' of the Ginga series was licensed in America, PETA would start whining.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Kurojaki at one point shows genuine worry for his son. Arguably Moss too, before he was revealed to actually be a good guy, attacked Ben's pack when believing they were the cause of his son's supposed death.

* This was probably more due to adaption editing. In the manga, Wilson (the collie) explains how Kurojaki killed and ate his family before, hence why he intended to kill his son for revenge.
