Added DiffLines:


* BigBrotherInstinct: He’s very first scene is him storming to a gang’s hideout and went on to beat the hell out of all who stands in his way, just so he could take his sister home. He also asked one of his friends, Sawamura, to watch over her when he’s investigating the RedRum.
* DemotedToExtra: In the sequel, X Cross, [[spoiler: he only appeared near the climax of the MobWar to help Jamuo and Sabakan and doesn’t even join his comrades in the Senomon building, opting to wait outside instead.]]
* TheLeader: Of the Housen Academy.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: He falls victim to this when the new gang, KIDRA, attacked their friends while disguising themselves as Oya students, something that they also did to the Oya. Thus, pitting him and Fujio to go to war against one another.
* RedOniBlueOni: The stoic, calm, and coolheaded blue to Fujio’s cheerful, fun-loving, and energetic red.
* TheRival: To Fujio the leader of Oya Koh, and also to [[spoiler: Lao, the strongest of Suzuran who bested him in the past.]]
* TheStoic: Unlike Fujio who presents a cheerful and passionate charisma as a leader, Sachio acts as a stern and coolheaded leader towards his Housen comrades.
** NotSoStoic: He loses his cool for the first time when he decided to attack Oya Koh and later, a more humorous example occured when he found out that Sawamura, the guy that he asked to watch over his sister, is dating her. Sachio in a full state of shock actually "fainted".
* WorthyOpponent: He considered Fujio this as after their showdown they smile warmly at each other before parting ways. He’s also glad that Fujio and Oya Koh are not the one responsible for the attack of Sawamura and other Housen students, proving to Sachio that Fujio is as kind as he believes.


Added DiffLines:


* BigBrotherInstinct: He lives in an orphanage and acts as caretaker to the children there, whom he cares dearly.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Shows up with his crew to help Oya and Housen againts the Senomon alliance, turning the battle to their favor.]]
* TheDreaded: Everyone fears him, even Fujio seems to be intimidated a bit when he encounters him in the sequel.
* AfriendInNeed: In the sequel, [[spoiler: he arrives with his crew to aid Fujio and the Housen against Senomon alliance, because Fujio asked Lao to becomes friends with him earlier.]]
* GoodAllAlong: The story that surrounds him, the school that he enrolls to, not to mention being a very tall and imposing man have made people think that he is a very dangerous man to be around with. In truth, he is actually a kind individual who cares deeply for the kids in the orphanage that he lives in and will go out of his way to help a friend in need, as he did to Fujio at the end.
* LargeAndInCharge: He is the leader of his five man crew, and is also the tallest and the most physically imposing. This is the reason why Fujio easily recognizes him.
* TheLeader: To his own Crew.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: After the climatic battle [[spoiler: Marcy tells Tsukasa that Lao was very happy when Fujio asked him to be his friend.]]

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of the AsskickingLeadsToLeadership. Todoroki posseses immense strenght at fighting and manage to rival those at the part time and poses as the closest challenge to the Oya high leader, Murayama in the school. And…that’s it. He doesn’t try to bond with the other full time students, doesn’t care about the troubles in his own classes, and doesn’t seem to care about the people in Oya high, even to his companions he acts aloof most of the time. Because of this traits, he failed to gain the respect and trust to be a leader that Murayama has to unite the whole school, and the full time students are divided into several groups who caused chaos for a time until Fujio shows up.


Added DiffLines:

* BaitAndSwitch: This occurs twice in the series.
** The first is when he coldly gave a DeathGlare to Tsukasa with intense music in the background. We were lead to believe that they are about to have a rematch of their firs bout, but then the music abruptly stops and Fujio complains about the fact that Tsukasa got a chocolate from a middle school student.
** The second one occurs at the sequel, Cross. After tracking Lao, Suzuran’s top dog, Fujio coldly greets him, DeathGlare on full display, and the two have an instence staredown with one another. And then Fujio, with full excitement in his face, cheerfully asked Lao.. to be his friend, which confused not only Lao, but also Tsukasa and Jamuo who were also there with him.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Even before Suzuran were properly introduced in ''High&Low: The Worst X'', the Demon High School shares quite a few similarities to the eponymous Crows school:
** The very idea of a faction system within the school, where both sides doesn't get along often due to their conflicting ideologies. The difference of course is that Oya has a leader in Part-Time Student's Murayama, while Suzuran generally remains leaderless for much of their history.
** Their situation in ''High&Low: The Worst'' is pretty much in the same position Suzuran was in during ''[[{{Manga/Crows}} Worst]]''; a school with no one to lead them, thus creating an equilibrium where the student body split into different factions vying for control. That was until a particular student unexpectedly enters the scene and unite them all with his natural charisma. For Suzuran, it's Hana Tsukishima; for Oya, it's Fujio Hanaoka.



* {{Expy}}: Even before Suzuran were properly introduced in ''High&Low: The Worst X'', in the first film of this crossover Oya High is pretty much in the same position Suzuran was in during ''[[{{Manga/Crows}} Worst]]''; a school with no one to lead them, thus many within the student body split off into different factions vying for control. That was until a freshman unexpectedly enters the scene and unite them all with his natural charisma. For Suzuran, it's Hana Tsukishima; for Oya, it's Fujio Hanaoka.

Brothers Masaki and Hiroto Amamiya are known as the strongest duo both in and outside of S.W.O.R.D. As evidenced by their brawl against MUGEN, their combat prowess are so strong that even the superior numbers of MUGEN can't crushed them. They have an elder brother named Takeru who went missing, and the brothers' search for him kicks off the plot of ''High&Low THE RED RAIN''.

A legendary motorcycle gang once dominated the city that would came to be known as S.W.O.R.D. Founded by childhood friends Kohaku and Tatsuya, they formed the gang as a way for them to ride together for the rest of their lives. They soon joined by fellow motorcycle enthusiasts Tsukumo, Ohta, and Konishi, followed by two youngsters named Cobra and Yamato, rounding up the group into seven members.

The seven then began to conquer a city controlled by Hyuuga Group, a crime syndicate backed by the ominous Kuryu Group. Despite being outnumbered, Mugen succesfully destroy them, and many within Hyuuga Group soon joins them out of fear.

Thus begins the story of ''High&Low''...
