* LackOfEmpathy: Discussed. While she takes the blame for manipulating Tsuyoshi and Tsubasa, she feels no sympathy and defers the issue to Taro instead of fixing the problem herself. [[LaserGuidedKarma Her inaction ensures that both men are too preoccupied with the issues brought on by her scheming to help her the one time she needs them]].

The rest of the show sees her periodically ambushed by Cat Juto packs. #46 takes this to an extreme after Taro foils Terasaki's plan and robs all Juto of their hosts en-masse.

She's so deeply hated by the Cat types that when Taro and Tsubasa free the forest's captives, the Cats aren't rushing to the forest to defend it; they're giving Miho a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

* CopiedTheMoralsToo: The original Terasaki was a member of the Don Clan that deliberately allowed himself to be copied into a Penguin Juto to become functionally immortal. However, the Penguin inherited Terasaki's passion for protecting the forest and takes its duty as protector seriously. His EvilPlan reflects this, his goal being to convert Jiro into a Penguin that will inherit his position after his (and his template's) death.

* LoveInterestTraitor: To Tsubasa and Tsuyoshi. The Crane has seized the appearance of Tsubasa's girlfriend and has married Tsuyoshi as the created identity "Miho." Tsubasa becomes suspicious after SpottingTheThread in #30 and appears to have regained his girlfriend at the end of #34, which puts him and the reactive {{Yandere}} Tsuyoshi at-odds - all attempts to articulate the mishap falling on deaf ears. The following episode reveals her change to have been an elaborate con to throw Tsubasa off, which only inspires him to infiltrate the Juto realm and save Natsumi himself; only for him to get captured and copied before he can.

* EvilCounterpart: Terasaki and Jin are both adoptive fathers to a member of the Don Clan and have little to no involvement with the plot due to their role in guarding the Jūto seal. When it comes to their past, Jin is a third party who is confined into a prison due to his relationship with Taro, while Terasaki is another member of the Don Clan that takes his role by choice. Jin is very [[CrypticConversation cryptic]] when talking to the Donbrothers, while Terasaki is [[AffablyEvil a gracious host]] to Taro and Tsubasa until Taro foils his plans on turning Jiro into his successor.
