History Characters / BungoStrayDogsHuntingDogs

* TheComicallySerious: He often says and does random things. The poker face he keeps at all times only make it more hilarious.
* EvilCounterpart: To the NiceGuy Kenji before it's subverted, due to [[spoiler: being led by his captain who was actually a conspirator who framed the Armed Detective Agency,]] and as a TokenGoodTeammate, Tecchou doesn't have any morality issues to begin with.

* {{Foil}}: To Saigiku Jouno. Between [[ThoseTwoGuys two Hunting Dogs who typically pair up together in missions]], Tecchou is a NiceGuy who takes his duty seriously without a morality problem towards others, while Jouno is a black-hearted {{sadist}} who takes pleasure of seeing anyone squirmed in front of him, whether it's a criminal or a witness.

* NiceGuy: Tecchou is the Hunting Dog most capable of speaking politely to a civilian when asking information and he's wholeheartedly determined to make sure the world he protects is a fair one.

* BrokenTears: [[spoiler: Teruko cried over the fact that she had to kill her captain, who was responsible for the whole mess right from the start where the Armed Detective Agency was framed as terrorists, in which she didn't try to arrest them after finding out their innocence.]]

* EvilCounterpart: To the BadassAdorable fighter Atsushi, although it's subverted [[spoiler: after being betrayed by Fukuchi for his criminal actions by [[KillTheOnesYouLove stabbing him to death]].]]

* EvilCounterpart: To the NiceGuy Kenji, although it's rather subverted, due to [[spoiler: being led by his captain who was actually a conspirator who framed the Armed Detective Agency,]] and as a TokenGoodTeammate, Tecchou doesn't have any morality issues to begin with.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Particularly hit hard by this. In the manga, colored pages show their uniforms to be green; in the anime, they're not, possibly due to the former color resembling World War II uniforms.

* TokenMiniMoe: Most of the Hunting Dogs are grown men while Teruko looks like a little girl, at least most of the time.

* AnimalMotif: Like Dazai, Jouno is associated with kitsune foxes, given his hair color, closed eyelids, and a single bell tassle earring on his right ear. In terms of negative traits, kitsunes are known to be cunning and manipulative, which fits Jouno's sadistic tendencies against wanted criminals, especially to Kunikida, a [[BreakTheBadass psychological victim]] of his.

* TheCynic: Because his namesake's works were very cynical and mocking.

* EyesAlwaysShut: He never opens his eyes to show the fact that he's blind.

* BizarreTasteInFood: Jouno dislikes him due to his tendency to combine foods that have the same color, regardless of how much sense the combination might make, like white sugar on rice. He also eats hard-boiled eggs with the shell still on and orders a soy sauce latte.

[[caption-width-right:350:福地桜痴 - 鏡獅子 [[note]] Kagamijishi[[/note]]]]

* EvilCounterpart: To the StraightMan Kunikida, although this is subverted [[spoiler: after finding out that he was ordered by Fukuchi to kill the Armed Detective Agency sadistically, in which Jouno refused to do so.]]

* EvilCounterpart: To Fukuzawa prior to Fukuchi's death.

* EvilCounterpart: To Atsushi (a good version of the BadassAdorable), although it's subverted [[spoiler: after being betrayed by Fukuchi for his criminal actions by [[KillTheOnesYouLove stabbing him to death]].]]

* EvilCounterpart: To Kunikida, although this is subverted [[spoiler: after finding out that he was ordered by Fukuchi to kill the Armed Detective Agency sadistically, in which Jouno refused to do so.]]

* EvilCounterpart: To Kenji, although it's rather subverted, due to [[spoiler: being led by his captain who was actually a conspirator who framed the Armed Detective Agency,]] and as a TokenGoodTeammate, Tecchou doesn't have any morality issues to begin with.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Particularly hit hard by this. In the manga, colored pages show their uniforms to be green; in the anime, they're not, possibly due to the former color resembling WW2 uniforms.

* EvilCounterpart: To Kunikida and Yosano, although this is subverted [[spoiler: after finding out that he was ordered by Fukuchi to kill the Armed Detective Agency sadistically, in which Jouno refused to do so.]]

* HeroAntagonist: They antagonize the Armed Detective Agency because they have been framed as a terrorist group by the Decay of Angels. They're overall portrayed as fairly decent people who are only trying to do their job as a special police force. They also take on both Port Mafia and Sigma when they prove to be hindrances in their hunt. [[spoiler: This becomes downplayed after Teruko, Jouno, Tecchou, and Tachihara being betrayed by Fukuchi for his crimes against humanity.]]

* ConsummateLiar: He is capable of hiding his true identity as Kamui, along with all of his terrorism plans until Tachihara managed to witness the former's new plan that involved TheUndead Ability user.
* CrossAttack: He impaled a sword shaped like a holy cross on Bram to stop him from regenerating, and is more than willing to finish the job should Bram step out of line.

* MagicEnhancement: His Ability allows him to multiply the power of the weapon he wields by 100 times.

* TakeOverTheWorld: His goal is using the forbidden weapon One Order, aided by his Ability ''The Lion Dance'', to mind control all of humankind, turn them, minus the Agency, into his undead army, and achieve world domination.

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: His hair is naturally white and he's the leader of a dangerous terrorist organization.
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Pulls this when Jouno refuses to join him in his plan for world domination by having Jouno forcibly turned into an undead servant of the army. He also manages to trick the world's governments into trusting him by using the threats of both the Agency and the Decay of the Angels against them, with them all completely unaware that Fukuchi's already sending the Decay to infiltrate their armies until it is too late.

* SociopathicHero: She has an inclination for violence and torture, but her brutality is uniquely reserved for criminals, be they the Agency, or Sigma and his bodyguards.

* TimeMaster: He is capable of using his sword to reverse time over and over.

* EvilCounterpart: To Atsushi (a good version of the BadassAdorable), although it's subverted [[spoiler: after feeling betrayed by her PrecociousCrush Fukuchi for his criminal actions by [[KillTheOnesYouLove stabbing his gut to death]].]]

* {{Sadist}}: She cries out of disappointment that she got a criminal to confess after only half a year of torture since she was eager to torment him for much longer.

* EvilCounterpart: To Kunikida, although this is subverted [[spoiler: after finding out that he was ordered by Fukuchi to kill the Armed Detective Agency sadistically, in which Jouno refused his order to do so.]]

* SlasherSmile: He displays a sadistic one while hearing Kunikida's scream over his broken ideals.

* EvilCounterpart: To Kunikida, although this is subverted [[spoiler: after finding out that he was ordered by Fukuchi to kill the Armed Detective Agency sadistically, in which Jouno refused the order.]]

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: He's the most amoral and douchey of the Hunting Dogs. Fittingly, his hair is white. [[spoiler: This reveals to be subverted as he does take pleasure of helping people and refusing Fukuchi's offer to join the Decay of the Angel.]]

* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: Her body can change into whatever age she wishes, but she chooses to show herself as a preteen girl by default.

* GoodFeelsGood: Why he chooses [[spoiler:not to join the Decay of Angels]]. He was originally a dangerous, high-ranking criminal who enjoyed the sound of suffering, but after becoming a Hunting Dog, Jouno realized it paled in comparison to the pride he felt protecting people. [[spoiler: This doesn't last long, as he's quickly dispatched by Fukuchi and turned into an Undead servant in the process.]]

* EvilCounterpart: To Kenji Miyazawa, although it's rather subverted, due to [[spoiler: being led by his captain who was actually a conspirator who framed the Armed Detective Agency,]] and Tecchou doesn't have any morality issues to begin with.
* FacialMarkings: He has three marks under his left eye, which symbolizes his ability.

* EvilCounterpart: To Atsushi (a good version of the Badass Adorable), although it's subverted [[spoiler: after feeling betrayed by her PrecociousCrush Fukuchi for his criminal actions by stabbing him to death.]]

* {{Foil}}: To Tecchou Suehiro. [[ThoseTwoGuys While they typically pair up with each other in missions]], Jouno is a {{Jerkass}} who deals with certain people by [[{{Sadist}} taking pleasure of seeing them squirm]] while Tecchou is a TokenGoodTeammate who politely speaks to others instead, able to seal promises of bringing back criminals and their accomplices.

* TheUndead: [[spoiler: After he attacks Fukuchi once he reveals his true intentions. Jouno is killed, then brought back through Akutagawa's bite, turning him into an undead servant of the Decay of Angels.]]

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: He's the most amoral and douchey of the Hunting Dogs. Fittingly, his hair is white.

* {{Gasshole}}: He can fart with enough strength to make his cape flutter, much to the annoyance of Jouno (who has SuperSenses), although Teruko doesn't mind.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Particularly hit hard by this. In the manga, colored pages show their uniforms to be green; in the anime, they're not.

* HeroAntagonist: They antagonize the Armed Detective Agency because they have been framed as a terrorist group by the Decay of Angels. They're overall portrayed as fairly decent people who are only trying to do their job as a special police force. They also take on both Port Mafia and Sigma when they prove to be hindrances in their hunt.

* SuperSoldier: They all received operations to enhance their physical strength and stamina, making them harder to kill than regular soldiers.

The commander of the Hunting Dogs. He is quite flatulent. His ability is ''The Lion Dance''.

* ArcVillain: He's the main villain of the Decay of the Angel arc, with him leading both the Hunting Dogs and the Decay of the Angel to hunt down and destroy the Agency. The Hunting Dogs also fall victim to the Decay of Angels as the arc goes on when they figure out Fukuchi's true identity as Kamui.

* ActionGirl: A default thing for female characters in this universe, although hers fluctuates between that, LittleMissBadass and NeverMessWithGranny.
