** He assures Aiba he's not gonna try and make a move on the teenaged Iris - [[NotSoAboveItAll although when later given the opportunity to make her do something a little perverse with her implicit approval, he can't resist the temptation.]] Thankfully, Aiba threatens him into backing down.

[[spoiler:Once he remembers from his past life that Iris is unofficially his surrogate daughter, he drops this completely.]]



* {{Flanderization}}: Downplayed. In the first game he was mostly a CovertPervert who, while making plenty of sexual remarks in his head, tried to keep his thoughts to himself and focus on the investigation. In the second game he's ''much'' more open about his perverted tendencies, though he keeps them to himself in more serious situations, at least, for a vast majority of the time.

* GoodIsNotNice: While he is coordial with others in interrogations if there's sufficient evidence that they're actually innocent, he's willing to drag [[spoiler:Iris and Hitomi]] through the grinder after he finds out they were knowingly keeping major secrets from him.



* MagicPlasticSurgery: Invoked; [[spoiler:after returning to his original self as Falco/Hayato Yagyu, this trope is actually just an excuse that everyone uses to explain why his face looks different to those who don't know his true identity and only knew him with Saito's face.]]

* PersonaNonGrata: [[spoiler:He's threatened with this in Mizuki's route that if he pursues So Sejima despite him strongarming the police into not arresting him, he will likely get fired from ABIS, which he's fine with considering how easily-manipulated it is from corruption. Subverted at the end after he winds up killing So in self-defense, which is a huge relief for the police since they don't have to worry about him anymore and even offers Date a promotion once he wakes up.]]



* SpannerInTheWorks: Ends up being this for the killer on the right path. [[spoiler:Him warning Iris to be careful and be cautious prompts her to not trust Renju, who was actually Saito after stealing his body with the Prototype Psync Machine, which ends up derailing his plans to kidnap and kill her, leading to the prevention of the Annihilation Route and the survival of of her, Ota, So, and Boss.]]

* CulturedBadass: He has an extensive knowledge about Greek and Egyptian mythology which he enjoyed sharing with a young Iris and even gave her the idea to use A-Set as her stage name.



* GlitchEntity: A shadowy [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} MissingNo.-like version of him]] appears in the sequel [[spoiler:during Iris' "[[VideoGame/PokemonGO Kusemon GO]]"-themed Somnium]] as a {{Superboss}} who has only one glitched attack, but it's a OneHitKO when used.]]

Added DiffLines:

* {{Unperson}}: After "Falco" (actually Rohan) was arrested for shooting Hitomi and his previous crimes, the police scrubbed 'Hayato Yagyu' from the records due to the backlash of the news about a KillerCop.

* LifesavingMisfortune: [[spoiler:On the right side of the flowchart because of a misunderstanding, he winds up running around in a circle chasing the completely wrong lead and temporarily deluding himself into thinking that he can change reality via entering Somniums. However, his actions following his reaction to said misunderstanding accidentally put [[BigBad Saito Sejima]] into a car accident and screwed up his plans completely, resulting in the least amount of bloodshed and making it possible to stop Saito as well.]]



* RiddleForTheAges: [[spoiler:At the end of the first game, he never finds an answer for why he's remembering events from different timelines.]]



%%* SuperCop: When you have superhuman reflexes, an AI partner, and dive into people's dreams for a living, it's hard not to qualify.

Added DiffLines:

* ThrowingOffTheDisability: [[spoiler:Although he was completely unaware of it at the time, his (Saito's) brain lacked the ability to produce oxytocin and instead gets HighOnHomicide. Aiba secretly provides oxytocin for him when appropriate so he can uphold healthy relationships. By the first game's ending and ''nirvanA Initiative'', he's in his original body which has no need for this.]]

* GetOutOfJailFreeCard: [[spoiler:His crimes as the corrupted cop Falco got the perfect opportunity to be swept under the rug due to a string of events that let his original body, with someone else's mind, pay for the crimes, while his amnesiac mind birthed the new man known as Kaname Date in Saito Sejima's body, Boss outright spells the implicitly unlawful extent of what she did to grant Date a new life as a reborn officer under ABIS]].

** In Mizuki's ending, [[spoiler:he gets away with killing So Sejima ([[KillingInSelfDefense albeit in justified self-defense]]) and is even potentially looking at a promotion since So was deemed the New Cyclops Killer after no further murders of a similar nature were reported after his death and he had dirt on the higher-ups which led to the 'do-not-arrest' order, who are now grateful that he isn't around anymore.]]
