* AManIsNotAVirgin: Zig-zagged: he does a very poor job if denying that he's a virgin when he's talking to Junko and FailureIsTheOnlyOption for all his attempts in the present to get laid. He can be very mature about the ways of the world, but in terms of sex is is ''amazing'' immature.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Unlike Kanta, they seem to be capable of genuine, especially toward their sister.




to:

* TheRival
* WithFriendsLikeThese: They're considered friends with Kanta in the loosest sense possible. Kanta and the three of them can't even trust each other enough to come to a meeting unarmed.



* BeingGoodSucks: It the Great Kanto Desert, it mostly means being taken advantage of constantly.
* {{Foil}}: To Kanta; his intro episode is even called "Opposites Collide".



* WideEyedIdealist

to:

* WideEyedIdealist
NiceGuy
* WideEyedIdealist: He is, however, aware his ideals probably aren't even right and upholds them mostly because GoodFeelsGood.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: Reconstructed; Kosuna tells him treating people this way [[HoldingOutForAHero makes them dependent on you]], which is a terrible way to be in this sort of CrapsackWorld. However, he decides it's still his responsibility to help people incapable of becoming strong or who never got a chance to do so.

* TheDogBitesBack

to:

* TheDogBitesBackChildhoodFriendRomance: Subverted in the anime: flashbacks seem to imply she resents Kanta because she can't get over a romance between the two when they were children, but it instead turns he actually just sexually harassed her and treated her horribly in general.

to:

* LovableSexManiac: The lovable part is debatable though. His perversion is almost always PlayedForLaughs, but almost never puts him in a sympathetic light.



* MesACrowd: Punk's balloon doubles are a technology version of this

* BuxomIsBetter

to:

* BuxomIsBetterBuxomIsBetter: Pretty much every male character is enamored with Junko's breasts

* GenkiGirl: Sometimes.

to:

* GenkiGirl: Sometimes. GenkiGirl[=/=]PluckyGirl: Fits these, but is kind of a darker take on the idea since her goal is to be a badass bounty hunter, not a "hero of justice".
* GirlFriday: Toward Kanta, as well as her previous mentor.
* HeroWorshiper: She acts this way to Natsuko so hard she comes off as having a crush on her. She sometimes acts this way to Kanta, when he can go five minutes without disgusting her.

!!Rain Spider/Amagumo
* YoungGunLovableCoward: His habit of running away in the middle of battle. Besides it being presented humorously, he tends to just as unexpectedly come back as TheCavalry and save the day.
* NominalHero: Although since he's usually against Kanta (until the last arc of the anime), he may be more of a AntiVillain.

!! Kosuna

Kanta's young apprentice.

* AntiHero: Just like her master. She may be ''slightly'' less callous that him though.
* BadassAdorable: Somewhat, although less by personality than by size and age.
* BrattyHalfPint: Oh yes. Not above calling out her master on things or insulting people they beat up.
* CloserToEarth: Somewhat, due to not being lustful and greedy like her master.
* CorruptTheCutie: Was notably more idealistic before being taken up as Kanta's apprentice.
* GenerationXerox: Becomes just as cunning and just as mean as Kanta. [[spoiler: Then takes his place as the new Desert Punk.]]
* GenkiGirl: Sometimes.
* IJustWantToBeBadass: Which arguably succeeded.
* IJustWantToBeBeautiful
* SmallGirlBigGun: Defied. She keeps a rather small submachine gun and a grenade launcher because she hasn't the strength and size to get something bigger.
* TeenGenius: Sometimes shows remarkable intelligence.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Seems like hanging with Kanta did have some effect on this.
