History Characters / KuroKami

* BadassAdorable

* ShootTheMessenger: He vents his frustration at having lost to Kuro and Keita's synchronization, by killing one of his Tribal Ends when they tried to relay a message from Daichi. Hiyou didn't even care what the message was about.

* FrickinLaserBeams: Keita's Thousand allows him to fire multiple lasers individually, or all at once. And when he unleashes it on Nanase, it takes the form of a [[WaveMotionGun Wave Motion Cannon!]]

* HeroicRROD: Keita collapses twice, at different points, due to the excessive strain synchronizing puts on him, because he's a Sub. Which is the part of the reason [[spoiler: Kuro leaves him in the end.]]

** [[spoiler: YourDaysAreNumbeed: Had he continued to synchronize with Kuro for much longer, the strain would have eventually killed him.]]

* [[spoiler: LiteralChangeOfHeart: Covered in Kuro's section below.]]

* PrettyFreeloader: From Riona's point of view, since all Nam does is follow them around and mooch off of her. Yet, Nam never wants to help out, 'cuz she's a scribe. [[spoiler: She protects Riona several times, during the battle with the Masagami.]] [[FunnyMoments But she runs off with her snacks at the end!]]
* [[SoLongSuckers See Ya Around, and Yoink!]]: She pulls this on Riona, at the end, by swiping her bag of snacks, as payment for services rendered. The she runs off with it!

* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: His attire somewhat resembles this, including the feathered hair decoration he wears.

* DeadpanSnarker: In regards to Kuro's lack of understanding as a Terra Guardian, and Keita's failure to grasp what it means to be a Contractee. So she and Steiner had to explain it to them.

* [[spoiler: TheChosenOne: Was foretold to be True Root, whose tera would exceed all others. Making her the only one capable of using the Thousand Reishin gives her.]]

* BigBreastsBigDeal: Of the embarrassment variety. Such as when one of her co-workers pokes her breast and comments on how big they are, cuasing her to become flustered. Also when Kuro mistakes Akane's breasts for fat.

* SexySecretary
* UnwittingPawn: To Daichi.

* MakingASplash: His Exceed allows him to manipulate water by firing needle-like projectiles of it at his opponent. Or, he can turn it into shards of ice to pin their clothing, immobilizing them.

* KarmicDeath: Daichi finds him weakened after he was defeated, by Kuro, and takes advantage of the situation by placing Hiyou in the very device he used to kill countless other Tera Guardians. [[KickTheSonnovabitch Then has Raiga do the honors.]]
