* TheLostLenore: Tsukishima was in love with an unnamed girl whom he promised to marry after the Sino-Japanese war he went to. However when he returned to his hometown, he discovered that she came to believe that he dies and killed herself (however, [[NeverFoundTheBody he never saw her corpse]]). Subverted when he met Tsurumi, who discovered it was all a ploy to persuade the girl to move out to Tokyo and said girl even sent him a lock of hair. Then DoubleSubverted when he discovers that his love was really dead all along and Tsurumi lied to him. Triple subverted when he's told Tsurumi ''faked'' the girl's death to help Tsukishima off death row. Zigzagged to we don't even keep track of the number when it's heavily implied that the person who told him was working for Tsurumi, to begin with. While the audience do eventually learn her fate; [[spoiler: Tsurumi was telling the truth and she really is alive in Tokyo]], Tsukishima himself never recieves any closure, but decides that in either case it's better for him to let go and move on.

* CallingYourAttacks: PlayedForLaughs; The Jigen-ryu style's first blow is also famous for its specific and impressive Kiai, called Enkyō (monkey's scream), that goes with it. He often uses it as his CatchPhrase ''very'' often. Not just when he should (when using his first blow), he also uses it whenever he is surprised, excited, confused, or simply in any situation where him "[[JustForPun screaming like a monkey]]" would be funny.

* HourglassPlot: At their introduction, Tsukishima is a StraightMan bothered by his colleagues' and superiors' eccentricities and fully aware that, Tsurumi is a shady character that is manipulating him and those around him; meanwhile, Koito is Tsurumi's number one admirer, worships the ground he walks in to such a degree that he is shy to even talk in his presence. [[spoiler:At the very end, Tsukishima is too steeped in his own dedication to Tsurumi to realize that he is a disposable pawn to him, and that following him will kill him; meanwhile, Koito gets a clearer picture of Tsurumi and realizes the ways in which they're both being taken advantage of, and is trying to save the lives of the men of the unit. During the final confrontation, Tsukishima is seriously wounded but still trying to get back up and fight for Tsurumi, while Koito holds him and tries to help him and begs Tsurumi to leave them alone and spare Tsukishima.]]
