Not really a good example of Ship Tease. The reason Claire has it is because some of her moments are more or less outright intimate. With Hugo while they seem close nothing between them is particularly intimate. If anything it’s more a example of Platonic Life Partners or Heterosexual Life Partners.


* ShipTease: His relationship to the protagonist is an integral part of his character and during his character episode he mentions that they have been a "warm and brilliant beacon" to him since their childhood. That they [[spoiler: promise to spread their influence across the world via many Ports and thus imply that they'll stay together forever]] just tops it off.

However, it should be noted that unlike them who became friends from the first time they met, when Zeke became associated with them remained unclear since flashbacks from his Character Episodes are mainly focused on himself and his younger brothers.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The two - and Dr. Heidenstam in particular - ignored Soma's warnings about the fundamental flaw from their final simulation result that could have endangered everyone involved and went ahead with the testing. The testing soon GoneHorriblyWrong, and the rest is history.
* SequelHook: After completing his episode, Ein noted that something was off before the Calamity since to his knowledge, Dr. Kwon was "not the type to gamble with the unknown", while Dr. Heidenstam had every reason to be desperate to succeed. He cut himself short before making too much assumptions, however, and whether this will be addressed in the future remains up in the air.

* CallBack: While all of the climax of the Character Episodes take form of BattleInTheCenterOfMind, Ein's case is especially notable due to the context in that [[spoiler:the battle done to save him with his Aragami manifestation helping out to give the final push, much like how Lindow's final battle in the ''Burst'' storyline went with Ren sacrificing himself in the end.]]



* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: Aside from his deteriorating state, this is ultimately the central problem behind Ein's Character Episode. [[spoiler:He feels the need to shoulder everything by himself - including the Ashland situation - for being the one partially responsible for causing the Calamity. It is only after seeing the Protagonist (and to some extent, everyone else) willingly dives into his highly unstable resonance area that he finally lets go the burden, and at the end of his episode he decides to try returning to Far East Branch to see whether they can help him.]]

Thankfully, this is finally resolved at the end of his Character Episode when his Aragami manifestation finally gained an understanding over the Protagonist's motives, and decides to stop devouring him since Ein finally has people he can trust on.]]

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: He truly meant it when he said he wanted to save Soma, it's just that being an Aragami, devouring him is the only solution he knows.



* CreepyChild: The Aragami takes the form of Soma's younger self, and regardless of his motives, his constant talk of having to eat him to save Soma is rather unnerving.
* MercyKill: The reason why he has been going out of control and tries to devour Soma in later episodes is "to save Soma".

unnerving. As the story progresses, however, he fits into more of ChildrenAreInnocent trope due to the fact that his wish to save Soma is genuine, and he willingly backpedals after understanding that everyone has been attempting to help Soma all along.

Soma, pained from the burden his host needs to bear alone after the Calamity.

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:Assuming the hooded child that Soma saved in Ein's Character Episode is truly the younger Protagonist, then their first meeting in the game proper would be the second time they meet.]]



* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Feeling responsible for causing the Calamity, Soma changed his name to Ein and resolved to continue to uphold that name until he is able to fix the mess caused by the Calamity.]]



* CassandraDidIt: [[spoiler:Ein - or rather, Soma - actually ''tried'' to persuade his collaborators to have the Project Ragnarok postponed because he found a fundamental flaw in the final simulation report and thus necessitating the core system to be rebuilt, but they ignored his warnings and went ahead without him. As a result, not only did the Calamity happen, but also he got named as one of those responsible for it.]]



* EyepatchAfterTimeSkip: Lost his left eye sometime between ''2'' and ''3''. Doesn't actually have an eyepatch, instead just keeping that eye closed, but otherwise fits since it's never explained in ''3'' just how he lost the eye.

[[spoiler:His Character Episode finally reveals the cause: he lost his eye after shielding a child (which, judging from the model, seems to be the younger Protagonist) from Anubis attack.]]



* MeaningfulRename: His choice of name couldn't be anymore appropriate, as ''Ein'' means ''One'' in German. While serving to reference his German heritage, it also uniquely identifies him as the first God Eater in existence. [[spoiler:He goes under another name because Soma Schicksal is widely known as one of the three scientists that accidentally caused The Calamity that spawned the Ashlands.]]
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:He's one of the three people who accidentally created the Ash phenomenon in an experiment [[GoneHorriblyWrong gone wrong]].]]

--> Age: 34

The Aragami inside Soma Schicksal, born into the world at the same time he was born. Taking form of younger Soma, he is the cause behind Soma's deteriorating condition.

* CreepyChild: The Aragami takes the form of Soma's younger self, and regardless of his motives, his constant talk of having to eat him to save Soma is rather unnerving.
