* DeathGlare: Gives a massive fearless one to Kei and Tomo's father who was trying to intimidate her in anger, which causes ''him'' to [[HeelRealization become intimidated with regret]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone and fear of what he's become]], to the point of [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere making him flee]] [[DirtyCoward out of cowardice]].



* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: It can be assumed that he finally realized that his actions almost crossed a certain line after he gouges Suzu's left cheek. [[IgnoredEpiphany Doesn't stop him from still trying to intimidate her into standing down, though.]]

* [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened to the Dad?]]: Suzu has successfully ordered him to back off (in her own non-verbal way), but no mention is made as to what happened to him or if he finally saw the error of his ways.
* TheUnapologetic: Even after Suzu defeats him without throwing a punch, the father refuses to apologize to Kei and Tomo for his actions and instead makes a quick retreat. However, depending on your interpretation to his ultimate fate, he still has a chance to do so.

* HairTriggerTemper: The primary cause of his abuse. Every perceived instance of his sons being less than picture-perfect causes him to fly off the handle.
[[IgnoredEpiphany He just does everything he can to bury it and ignore it]] [[NeverMyFault and dodge all responsibility for them.]]

* FreudianExcuse: It is very likely that he uses abuse as a coping mechanism for his wife’s passing, but considering how far he's gotten, [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse it's no excuse.]]



* HiddenDepths: The climax heavily implies that he ''does'' feel guilty for his actions. [[IgnoredEpiphany He just does everything he can to bury it and ignore it]] [[NeverMyFault and dodge all responsibility for them.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: Blames Suzu for tearing his family apart when his own actions caused his sons to rebel. What's worse, his way of dealing with his grief over his wife's death is to harm the children she gave birth to, who are thus all that's left of her in the world.

* TroubledAbuser: He verbally and physically abuses Kei and Tomo, but it’s implied that he struggles with the death of his wife and is aware of his problems, but feels out of resources. It's also one of his few redeeming qualities which prevents him from being a complete HateSink like Justin.

Added DiffLines:

* ObliviouslyEvil: Similar to some or most Studio Chizu villains, Justin believes himself to be the most moral, righteous person in the world of U. This is quickly overridden when his true colors are shown and he is stripped of his dignity. All the same, he's oblivious because of his self-righteousness -- he believes an action is evil only when it's committed by a presumed criminal, and never seriously considers the possibility that [[BadBoss abuse]], and even ''setting the Dragon's castle on fire'' and ''attacking Belle herself'' could be wrong [[MoralMyopia if he's the one doing it]], because he genuinely believes himself to be a [[Film/TheWizardOfOz good deed doer]].

Cool Loser cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* CoolLoser: He's viewed as an outcast by most of his school due to his "oddness" and has trouble making friends. Despite this, he's athletic enough that he qualified for the national championship in kayaking, and Ruka (the prettiest and most popular girl in school) is in love with him.

* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: He's such a charming looking man that you'd never suspect he’s really an abusive widower suffering from his wife's death who takes his anger out on his sons.
