*AGodAmI: Invokes this in his boast to his brother Roa, declaring that he would "surpass God". Fittingly, his defeat comes at the hands of a technique named the ''God-Killer'' Rock Drills.

* NotSoSimilar: He is quick to shut down the comparison of the tournament of champions and the Gu Ritual the Worm does, as they value the fighters and avoid casualties unlike the ritual that force fighters to kill each other to the brink of madness.

* WorldsBestWarrior: He's ''the'' single best Judoka, if not best grappler overall, established so far, due to perfecting an otherwise normal martial art to such a knife's edge that even Kuroki sees him as an equal. He swapped to the Kengan Association after the tournament and hasn't lost a match since, going 15-0 in the span of ''two years''. [[spoiler: He ups that to 16-0 in an extremely hard-fought battle against Agito]].]]

* HeroWithBadPublicity: Fled the Philippines after defending himself from Worms that had infiltrated his squad of trainees, because without proof that they were terrorists, it just looked like he had randomly killed his own students for no reason or out of Shell Shock rather than self-defense.

** He is one to Julius Reinhold. Both stand at similar heights and weights and are easily physically strongest members of their teams, but while Julius obtained his physique through steroids and scientific bodybuilding, Mudo naturally has his thanks to powerful genetics. Julius also discards technique in exchange for physical power, while Mudo uses difficult techniques [[spoiler:similar to the Redirection and Water katas of the Niko Style. Of course, they face each other in the Kengan-Purgatory tournament.]]

* TheGiant: Standing at a whopping 208cm and weighing in at 214kg, Toa is one of the biggest fighters in the series ''period'' and the heaviest Gladiator in all of Purgatory, dwarfing each and every other fighter on both teams save [[TheJuggernaut Julius]] and [[LeanAndMean Terashi]]. Just ''one'' of his legs is bigger than Carlos, his reach is slightly longer than Julius', and he could barely fit through the staircase from his team's lounge down to the ring. [[spoiler:He is so massive that he has to be carried out in a special stretcher by six of the ringside staff when Julius knocks him out.]]

* FantasticFightingStyle: Parodies this despite using the fictional Niko Style by incorporating well-known pop culture martial arts techniques like [[Film/TheKarateKid the crane stance]], a Fa Jin strike delivered from the [[Franchise/StreetFighter Hadouken pose]] [=/=] [[Franchise/Tekken Heihachi Mishima]]'s ''Demon Breath'', and [[Film/TheMatrix Matrix-dodging]] into his repertoire. He also uses his ridiculously high blood pressure to throw droplets of blood like he was shooting a paintball gun.

** His envy toward Ohma, who he sees as a failure, for still being in other Niko's agenda, is what pushes him to go above his usual output of Divine Devil.

* LastOfHisKind: Claimed to be the last "Tiger's Vessel" at the end of ''Ashura'', referring to those who were gifted with the Possessing Spirit. In ''Omega'', it's a moot point considering Ohma's survival, as well as the fact that he can still use Possessing Spirit. His claim is elaborated later as unlike Ohma who was taught Possessing Spirit as a kid, Fei went through the Other Tokita Niko's whole training regimen and is the only survivor of a group of talented trainees that was once ''four thousand'' men strong.

* LogicalWeakness: He's nigh-untouchable and hits like a truck while using Divine Devil, but his power comes from his increased speed, momentum and the precision at which he can move at such speeds, not raw adrenaline strength like the Removal. If Wakatsuki grapples or clinches him, Fei is effectively helpless due to the sheer difference in physical strength and unable to apply any Niko Style techniques to get the superhuman off of him. It basically forced him to overload his entire body to the point of near-instantaneous self-destruction by using his Divine Devil technique at maximum output to break out of Wakatsuki’s bear hug because he was so obsessed with being the strongest by any means neccesary, even if those means would kill him in a matter of seconds.
* LoopholeAbuse: As mentioned above, he uses high-pressurized blood as a ranged attack. When the referee realizes what he was actually using, Wangfang proceeds to mockingly reassure her with the hand he used to fire with, freaking her out.

** When he has his redirection completely halted by Wakatsuki forcing him into a clinch, and again when he realizes Wakatsuki isn't leaning on his shoulder to rest and was instead using Fei's nonchalance to force him into a Bear Hug, where even with his Divine Devil he stands no chance in a test of might until he maximizes the technique’s output.

* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Liu red. While Liu shows more emotional investment in the fights and his fellow gladiators, Fei is more subdued. This is best shown at Naidan's death. Liu runs to the ring and flies into an UnstoppableRage in revenge for his friend's death. Fei, on the other hand, is calmer; he is not unaffected, but he recognizes that death is a part of their bloodsport and remains level-headed.

* SkilledButNaive: He has even more Niko techniques than Ohma and can dominate Wakatsuki but like Lu Tian he is just a promising fighter turned insane by the Other Niko. Fei has taken so much pride in surviving inhuman training it never crossed his mind he was a test subject and never a prospect for the Tiger's Vessel.

* SoleSurvivor: He's the last remaining student of the Other Tokita Niko's besides Agito and Ohma. The Other Tokita Niko started out gathering four thousand talented young men from China, putting them into Gu rituals and then teaching Fallen Demon and Possessing Spirit to the fifty survivors. Of those, most died from complications of the techniques, and the last two besides Fei were murdered by him and Xia at the end of ''Ashura''.

* SuperiorSuccessor: Like Lu Tian, he strives to show he is better than the Other Tokita Niko's first generation of students. He mixed Both Ohma and Kiryu's secret technique to prove he was superior to both and the true heir of the Niko style as the Tiger's Vessel. While he is better at the technique taught by the Other Tokita Niko and his water kata is above Ohma's level, in the end, he himself concludes that he wasn't the Tiger's Vessel after violently exploding his entire cardiovascular system from using his Divine Devil’s technique at maximum output.

** After the Other Tokita Niko appears on the monitors and tells Fei to get real, he adopts a Crane Stance, only to admit that it's a completely worthless stance and calls Wakatsuki stupid to wait and see what'd he do from said stance. When Wakatsuki attacks him in frustration, he smoothly exits his stance to transition into a Weeping Willow to avoid Wakatsuki's punch and put him in a finger lock.

* WeakButSkilled: At 184cm and 83 kilos, Fei is monumentally outclassed in power and toughness by Wakatsuki, but his mastery of Tai Chi and a variety of modern martial arts gives him a wider berth of expertise than Wakatsuki's full contact karate. This turns out to be just another front for the fact that his wide expertise is due to his mastery of the Niko Style and he becomes StrongAndSkilled when he uses [[ExplosiveOverclocking Divine]][[SuperMode Devil]].

** When Wakatsuki tells him to use the Advance to stand a better chance against Fei's problematic Water and Redirection Kata, Fei considers it while fiddling with his wrist, then sends Wakatsuki flying across the ring with a straight punch after activating the Niko Style's ''new'' SuperMode.

* SuperSenses: [[spoiler:His kinetic vision is even better than Koga's or Kazuo's due to his hypothalamus surgery significantly upping the speed at which he processes visual information, but to such an extent that his brain risks frying itself from the information overload if he isn't wearing something like his mask to simplify the visual input, otherwise he's suffering permanent brain damage within an hour.]]
