* CannotSpitItOut: For whatever reason, Ryuken never seemed to think simply telling his son what really happened to his mother was a good idea. Instead he actively antagonizes and distances himself from his son to the point Uryu felt joining the Vandenreich was a better option to learn the truth.



* CursedWithAwesome: His attitude towards his Quincy powers to the point where he claims he's incapable of getting rid of his powers even if he tries.

to:

* CursedWithAwesome: His attitude towards his Quincy powers to the point where he claims he's incapable of getting rid of his powers even if he tries. Considering what Yhwach could do with Auswhalen to any Quincy he chooses, it makes sense.
* DirtyCoward: InUniverse, Uryu seems to think so. While Ryuken obviously is no coward when it comes to a fight, and obviously goes out of his way to save Uryu more than once, Ryuken doesn't do much to disabuse his son of this notion.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ryuken's cold treatment of Uryu and habit of lying to him about a lot of important details disguise the genuine care he has for Uryu. The real trouble is that Ryuken's a controlling stoic jerk with communication issues.



* VitriolicBestBuds: He'll never admit that Isshin is basically his only friend.

* ArcherArchetype: Soken was an acknowledged master of the clan's style, possessing knowledge of all their traditions and techniques. At some point before his death, he passed on all this to his son, Ryuken.



* ArcherArchetype: Cold, aloof, analytical. Ryuken's even more self-possessed than his son, being able to casually defeat moving Arrancar while carrying on a conversation and shooting one-handed. He can even precisely hit his son 19mm to the left of the heart without turning a hair. Uryu is a good but inexperienced archer; Ryuken is a master of the art.



* BadassInANiceSuit: Ryuken rarely wears anything but white suits in the manga [[AdaptationDyeJob (beige in the anime)]], [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that he's the director of a major urban hospital and has to be professionally dressed. He's also a very powerful [[ArcherArchetype Quincy]] and capable of kicking much ass (including [[CurbstompBattle curbstomping]] his very talented son) without even removing his jacket or loosening his tie.

* HeroicNeutral: Ryuken is a [[ArcherArchetype Quincy]] of exceptional power who utterly refuses to use his power and wants his clan to be declared extinct after his father's death. He will not support any of the story's major factions and only picks up his bow to [[ParentExMachina restore Uryu's power]] after [[SuperMode Letz Stil]]. How he came to [[IJustWantToBeNormal this neutrality]] from his youthful idealism is still [[MysteriousPast only partially explained]]. With the final arc it seems he may be headed for a NeutralNoLonger fate.

* MetaphoricallyTrue: In a flashback, a very young Uryu asks his [[RetiredBadass father]] why he [[CursedWithAwesome hates]] being a [[ArcherArchetype Quincy]] so much. [[IJustWantToBeNormal Ryuken]] replies there's no money in it. When [[WellDoneSonGuy Uryu]] asks [[OldMaster Soken]] if Ryuken's telling the truth, [[OlderAndWiser Soken]] mulls it over and then says that, if viewed from the angle that being a Quincy doesn't put food on the table and Ryuken has a son to look after, what Ryuken said can indeed be viewed as the truth. Soken indicates that Ryuken's actually [[BlatantLies lying through his teeth]] and when he sees Uryu can't understand that, goes on to tell Uryu that [[FigureItOutYourself one day]] he will understand Ryuken's [[MysteriousPast secret]].

* YamatoNadeshiko: She fits both the physical description (long dark hair, wide eyes, modestly and femininely dressed) and the personality traits (clearly has domestic skills since she works as a maid, holds UndyingLoyalty to Ryuken, a competent [[ArcherArchetype Quincy]] warrior when necessary). And her silk does hide some serious steel: she's the one to convince Ryuken to return home after his ''nasty'' HeroicBSOD. And she does so [[YouArenotAlone via a gentle, heartfelt appeal]] instead by force.

* BestServedCold: [[spoiler:After his wife is killed by Yhwach's Auswählen, Ryuken performs an extensive autopsy on her corpse that lasts several days in order to find the root cause of her death. He discovers a special silver clot that developed in her heart as a result of the technique and forges it into an arrowhead. He then spends the next decade deliberately alienating himself from the remaining Quincy including his own father and son as well as the spiritual world in general in order to stay beneath Yhwach's notice, and finally delivers the arrowhead to Uryu just before the final battle, allowing him and Ichigo to kill Yhwach once and for all and avenging his wife.]]

to:

* BeneathNotice: His rejection of his Quincy heritage in favor of a normal life as a doctor, despite his great power and talent, means that Yhwach and the rest of the Vandenreich basically don't even realize he exists. [[spoiler:This gives him the perfect blindspot to deliver the one weapon that can help kill Yhwach for good.]]

* TragicDream: Soken's greatest desire was for the Soul Reapers and the Quincies to find a way to coexist peacefully and work together to prevent Hollow attacks. He desperately wanted to make sure another massacre never happened again. For most of the story, the only surviving Quincies were believed to be Soken's last practicing student, Uryu, and RetiredBadass Ryuken, meaning Soken's dream was likely doomed. Then it was revealed that other Quincies do still exist, with the Vandenreich's invasion of Soul Society. And now the two sides are back in active war, further than ever from a lasting peace. The last frail hope is the OddFriendship between the Kurosakis (who aren't even official Soul Reapers) and the Ishidas (who are the last remnant of a dissident Quincy faction).
