* AdaptationalAttractiveness: His film counterpart compared to his manga one. Whereas in the manga his drawn plain like everybody else, in the film he is played by the handsome Oguri Shun.
* AdaptationalBadass: His manga counterpart seems to be this. With him having more fights with other delinquents and taking on some of the top dogs n Toarushi, whereas in the film his fights, sans the climatic battles, are mostly against mooks or brief CurbStompBattle from Rindaman.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the manga, while he still retains the stubborness and arrogance of his film counterpart, he is also more jovial to the people around him instead of just being TheStoic cool arrogant leader he was potrayed in the film.
* BadassBoast:
-->to the entire housen army :Don't be stupid, Againts bastards like you, I'm more than [[OneManArmy enough]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold : Genji is just like any other delinquents,but he he truly cares about his friends and his father.
* ManlyTears: A comedic example jn the first movie. After failing to set up an akward date for Makise and made a scenario where he would be the hero that saved the girls.
