* CainAndAbel: He and Eko didn't want to kill each other, but they were certainly on opposing sides and came into conflict.

to:

* CainAndAbel: He Downplayed; he and Eko didn't want to kill each other, but they were certainly on opposing sides and came into conflict.



* ChildrenForcedToKill: Narrowly averted; a militia leader put a gun in a young Yemi's hand and ordered him to shoot a helpless old man, but when Yemi hesitated, [[BigBrotherInstinct Eko]] grabbed the gun and shot the old man himself.



* JerkassHasAPoint: While Yemi can be self-righteous, he's right that, though Eko only chose his path in life to protect him, the adult Eko is ''far'' from a good man, something that Eko only really makes an effort to change after Yemi's death. His disdain for the idea of Eko being made a priest is also justified, as Eko only wants to become a priest as part of a heroin smuggling scheme.



* SiblingYinYang: Yemi, despite his flaws, is a man of peace; as a child, he couldn't bring himself to fire a a gun, and when the military starts shooting at Eko and his men, Yemi starts yelling for them to stop. His elder brother Eko is quite different, being willing to shoot an old man as a child (albeit to save Yemi from having to do so), becoming a drug lord as an adult, and remaining willing to employ violence when necessary even after his HeelFaithTurn.

* AccidentalHero: By kicking Eko out of the plane, he inadvertently saved Eko's life; the plane crashed on the Island, killing Goldie.



* EasilyForgiven: Despite the fact that he clearly intended to abandon Eko to the military and escape with the heroin himself, Eko doesn't hold a grudge against him; when he finds Goldie's body on the Island, he tells Charlie that Goldie saved his life.



* JerkassHasAPoint: Ungrateful though she may be, Amina is right that, by killing Emeka and his men, Eko defiled Yemi's church with their blood, and she rightfully calls Eko out for planning to sell the vaccines himself.



* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Eko takes Emeka's own machete to hack him to death.



* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Maybe she came back from the dead, maybe the undertaker was negligent. She certainly believes she came back from the dead, and even has a message for Eko from Yemi.
