* {{Jerkass}}: It's probably unintentional on the part of the author, but Taka's attitude of bored superiority, his refusal to even look at any player he considered inferior, and his insistence that anyone who tried to stand up to him was engaged in a futile act made him '''very''' punchable. It didn't help that his so-called "problem" of being better than everyone around him was (a) not very relatable; and (b) the same one that [[TheSociopath Agon]] suffered from. He got a lot better [[spoiler: during the World Cup Arc]], though.

* GenreSavvy: Possibly the ''only'' player in [[spoiler: Team Japan]] (besides Hiruma) to have this quality. Taka [[spoiler: was able to counter Clifford's trick play during the Japan vs USA match. As Taka himself pointed out, he ''learnt'' from his game against the Devil Bats, and as a result, would never defend against the obvious play. Instead, he was tightly marking the opposing wide receivers no matter what]].

* HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted. Unlike Yamato and Taka who [[TheAce went up from sixth to first string in a day]], Heracles had been up and down the Teikoku lineups during his tenure. This was one of the reasons why he took pride in being a first string player; with all the luxuries it entailed (professional-grade personal locker rooms, authority over lower-tier players, popularity, etc), and encouraged everyone to think the same, believing it to be the proof that hard work ''does'' pay off.

* SmugSuper: Taka is almost inhuman when it comes to his skills as a wide receiver.

Unlike [[NiceGuy Yamato]], Taka ''was'' a bit of a douche about it (though not as bad as Agon).

Naturally, this goes with his team's Roman [[Motif theme]] and highlighted Heracles' role as the centre.
