* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Even though his original purpose when approaching Bave was to trick him and take his money, Bave’s genuine kindness and supportiveness got to Drump and they became best friends.



* HeelFaceTurn: Just like many other {{Jerkass}} rivals in this series, Drump eventually gets reformed and becomes Doras’ valuable ally.

* HeelFaceTurn: Just like many other {{Jerkass}} rivals in this series, Drump eventually gets reformed and becomes Doras’ valuable ally. It just took him a little longer than others.



* KnightOfCerberus: His appearance shows the darker side of the sport industry that Doras is stepping in, where people ''will'' manipulate and even injure others just so their team can be the best.
* ManipulativeBastard: In the first moment he appears, he already manipulated Shiro into using a difficult pitch that ended up injured his shoulder when Shiro refused to join his team. Then he provoked Kuro to join Devil Kings in a match, using the temptation that he had a doctor who could cure Shiro’s shoulder soundly, so that he can ultimately recruit Kuro as a member of Devil Kings.
* PlayingCardMotifs: His skillset is named after playing cards and gambling terms such as Q Ball, Royal Straight Flash, and The King of Spade.

* TheAce: Their team is said to consist of among the best baseball players in the US, and it’s not just some flavor talks. ''Four'' of their members are chosen to represent the country in the WABC, and '''win'''.
* {{Eagleland}}: They comes from America, and while initially presented as prideful, obnoxious and greedy (the case with Drump) pro players who looked down on Japan, they are genuinely talented and become good-hearted people after their HeelFaceTurn.

* PositiveFriendInfluence: Years ago, he was a delinquent causing troubles on New York’s streets until he met Bave - who directed his interest into a more healthy subject that was baseball.



* FreudianExcuse: Drump’s offer to cure his injury was irresistible for a baseball player who was so desperate to be able to play again, but by accepting that, he also betrayed Lobsters and lead them to their disbandment.

* AffablyEvil: Downplayed. While he raises no objection to his teammates’ {{Jerkass}} tendency or Drump’s questionable way of doing things, assuming he has no problem with them, he is actually quite affable when talking to Doras, and Shiro said that Mark cured him passionately. He also looks joyful when Shiro shows himself to be fully healed.

* BlackBeadEyes: He only has 2 dots as eyes, which makes him both cute and ridiculous as the same time. When he wears the CoolShades - a part of the usual umpire getup, he looks more serious as they’re hidden.

* CantCatchUp: The reason he left Devil Kings. With Drump being a genius and recruiting more talented people, Bave’s mediocre baseball skill just couldn’t fit in anymore.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: To Drump. The reason Drump reverts back to his former {{Jerkass}}, glory seeker self in the WABC is because he wants to fulfill his promise to win the Cup with Bave, who suffered a head injury some times ago that put him into coma.

* InsufferableGenius

to:

* InsufferableGeniusInsufferableGenius: Definitely a talented baseball athlete, but is also a real piece of work ([[CharacterDevelopment at first]]).
* {{Jerkass}}: In his first appearance. He is extremely arrogant and openly looks down on his opponents, and will often resort to dirty tricks in order to get strong players into his team.
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Matures into this after Kings' defeat against Dora's. While still a jerk sometimes, he is much more pleasant and respectful.
