History Characters / AvataroSentaiDonbrothersNotoLayer

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: Sonoshi and their cohorts convince the Donbrothers to add the former trio to their ranks so they can murder everyone at once]]. All they did was form a proper coalition easily able to stand up to them.

* SuckSessor: Villainous example. Compared to the Noto trio, Sonoshi's group is nowhere near as capable. They aren't particularly united and are more prone to gripping the VillainBall; resorting to trickery and engaging in hammy antics that lead to frequent losses. When [[spoiler: the Executioners]] reveal themselves, their very first act is to deem the Overseers failures.

* CrazyPrepared: They created the Donbrothers' arsenal to help Momoi Taro, which is coded to disarm and find a new user if it's used for selfish reasons. If the whole team somehow goes rogue, the [[spoiler: Don Killer]] could be activated to deal with them. And [[spoiler: the Don Killer Killer]] could be activated to deal with ''it.''

* TheLeader: Downplayed. While Sononi and Sonoza look up to Sonoi, he rarely gives them any direct orders. [[spoiler: After his revival however, he beats Sononi and Sonoza into submission and has them bow down to him. The two start addressing him with the "-sama" suffix from then on, but they stop in #34 when Sonoi gets back to normal thanks to eating oden with wasabi.]]

* TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler:His taking on Taro's personality upon his revival, causes him to start being rude and dismissive of Sononi and Sonoza as merely his "Companions" the same way Taro is to Donbrothers, even kicking Sononi and Sonoza about in #33 in the same vein Taro did to the others after the show's early battles.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: The trio start off as elite apathetic enforcers hostile to both humanity and its protectors. As the factions fight however, the Noto develop a curiosity towards humanity that the Donbrothers satisfy. The two teams co-mingle and progressivly begin to acknowledge one another, allowing the Trio to develop their own independent personalities and ambitions to the chagrin of their masters.

* DarkChick: The sole female member of the primary Nōto general trio.

* IcyGreyEyes: Has grey eyes and is arguably the most ruthless of the generals with her FauxAffablyEvil disposition.

* BadassNormal: They are able to go toe-to-toe with Sonogo and Sonoroku, even before stealing their powers.

* ShipTease: She has a few of these with Tsubasa.

[[caption-width-right:210:''Awakening at the peak of jaws!''[[note]]A {{pun}} on "Jaws" and 上手/''jouzu''/"great"[[/note]] ''Don Murasame!'']]

* EvilVersusEvil: Don Murasame clashes with the Nōto as well as the Donbrothers. His Mother also shows interest in protecting the Anoni from the Juto too.

* DualWielding: Wields Sonoroku's mace and the Ninjarksword during his fight in #50.

* AssholeVictim: They all get unceremoniously executed by Sonona and Sonoya under orders of the Noto Council, and considering the torment they inflict upon Sonoi and his party, it's safe to say they got a taste of their own medicine.

* {{Asshole Victim}}s: They all get unceremoniously executed by Sonona and Sonoya under orders of the Noto Council, and considering the torment they inflict upon Sonoi and his party, it's safe to say they got a taste of their own medicine.

* FriendlyEnemy: The Nōto initially start off hostile to the Donbrothers due to their clashing methods of neutralizing the Hitotsu-Ki. As the show goes on however, the Nōto's bad blood towards the team vaguely thaws as they pick up on traits and motivations that earn their notice, getting involved in the Donbrothers' hijinks as time passes. [[TheRival Taro and Sonoi grow a pseudo-friendship thanks to their rivalry]] while [[VillainTakesAnInterest Sononi, Sonoza and Don Murasame find themselves enraptured by Tsubasa, Haruka and Jiro's motivations respectively]]. The factions [[GoKartingWithBowser fraternize almost as much as they fight]]. However [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome this is shown to have consequences]], as [[spoiler: new commander Sonoshi is assigned to watch over (and potentially discipline) the primary trio in #37 for their uptick in kindness]]. The "enemy" part eventually sloughs away in favor of a HazyFeelTurn, which [[spoiler: gets them marked as enemies by the Council and replaced by Sonoshi's group]].

* YouHaveFailedMe: They dispatch Sonona and Sonoya to execute the Trio and Overseers, for the latter two's repeated failures to kill Don Momotaro.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: He's the only one that Sonoi actually transforms into a Hitotsu-Ki, implying that the Nōto have some form of control over them. However, as the story continues, this is further from the truth since the Nōto want to ''kill'' any Hitotsuki they come across and all of the Hitotsuki made afterwards occur on their own, leaving Kishiryuki to be an oddity.

* ThreateningShark: He's themed on a shark, and is an antagonist to the Donbrothers.

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Downplayed. Don Murasame is [[spoiler:a LivingWeapon created by the Nōto Council]]. While Mother has seized control of him for her own dubious ends, Murasame generally finds himself working with the Nōto regardless.

->''Why is it that men and women fall in love? They say love is precious... But I don't understand the meaning of it.''

-->''Why do they laugh? The humans. What even is it?''

* CharacterDevelopment: Discussed. Sonoza reveals in #48 that [[spoiler: he sealed the Ninjarksword's power using pages from Haruka's ''First Love Hero]]" in the hopes that the ninja would read and learn from them.

* EvilKnockoff: He's a purple, evil-looking doppelganger of Don Momotaro.

* OutOfFocus: His presence is greatly reduced in the series' later half, [[spoiler:even in the episodes where one would think he'd play a major role -- namely, the Forest of Slumbers subplot.]]

* PurpleIsPowerful: In line with [[ThePsychoRangers Evil Rangers]] of recent [[Series/KishiryuSentaiRyusoulger seasons]] [[Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger past]], Murasame is purple-hued, made its debut making short work of all the Donbrothers, and not one of the good guys.
