* DisappointedByTheMotive: [[BigBad Makoto Kagutuschi's]] [[IDidWhatIHadToDo justification]] for masterminding the mass kidnapping of death row inmates to [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies turn their corpses into meat buns for Kanai Ward's residents]], using a WeatherControlMachine to block out the sun in Kanai Ward, and luring the detectives over to Kanai Ward to oust Yomi so Makoto can [[WellIntentionedExtremist seize control of Kanai Ward from Yomi to protect Kanai Ward's defective homunculi]] is '''not''' something he's proud to hear, or at least, at first. He comes to [[SympathyForTheDevil accept his motive]] in the end when he sees that he's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone severely regretting having to cross the lines he did]], and tries to actively help him out, however.

* VagueAge: It's very unclear just how old Yuma is supposed to be exactly. When he's offered an opportunity to drive a car, he declines by stating he doesn't have a driver's license, which could imply that he is old enough to obtain one. He's old enough to be Number One of the WDO and for his clone to head an extremely powerful company (with no one claiming they are too young for the work), but one of his implied love interests is a teenager and she and the other students of her school tower over him. Further, Shinigami repeatedly chastises him for having an interest in teenagers, as if he isn't one himself, but this could simply be an excuse she is using to vent her jealousy. Further, at other points she claims he is too young for romance, but this contradicts how she is clearly interested in romancing him herself, making it come across as an excuse she uses to try to dissuade him from being interested in other girls. In one bit of exploration dialog Shinigami asks him if he is old enough to drink alcohol, Yuma's reply only being a noncommittal "that's a good question."

* HeroProtagonist: While he is assisted by the other heroic detectives throughout the story, Yuma is the one leading the battle against the Amaterasu Corporation and is the one who primarily opposes it. His sheer willpower is what allows him to eventually defeat and reform [[BigBad Makoto Kagutsuchi, the company's leader]]. Alongside this, it turns out he's ''also'' the true Number One (with Makoto being his clone) and therefore is the leader of the WDO itself.

* ClingyJealousGirl: She can get very catty whenever Yuma so much as talks to another woman, and she'll at times warn him about even the idea of him developing romantic feelings for someone else. At one point she expresses a desire to chain Yuma to her and keep him in a world of just the two of them, Yuma idly noting that their contract already sort of enables this. She spends much of Chapter 2 in various stages of basically a jealous tantrum over Yuma and Kurumi getting to know each other. She gets quite enthusiastic over anything she can interpret as signs of Yuma being under the spell of her feminine charms,
belonging to her, etc. Notably when it comes to joining the Resistance she outright outlines the choice as being them or her. With that said, by Chapter 4 she [[CharacterDevelopment starts becoming more comfortable with]] [[ShipperOnDeck the notion of Yuma and Kurumi as a couple.]]

* TomatoInTheMirror: "Yuma Kokohead" is actually Number One of the WDO, who struck a deal with the real trainee detective Yuma Kokohead in order to use his name and identity as part of his MemoryGambit. An inversion of this also applies, as the main antagonist of the game is Yuma's EvilTwin as Number One with his memories intact and after a FaceHeelTurn, but he forgot this after erasing his memories as part of his gambit.

* TheDefroster: Hinted to be this for Halara in "Fubuki's Luckiest Day" as she brings out Halara's more "caring" side much easier than any other character did in the main story (Yuma included).

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Of DaChief. In the usual dystopian story, DaChief is usually portrayed as a stern, but well-meaning person, wanting to change the system like the heroes, completely willing to put their lives on the line to make an effort. Yakou is anything but that, regularly being terrified of death and having no problems selling out his allies. He's also portrayed as anything but sharp and shows not a lot of genuine faith in his subordinates.

* NotQuiteTheRightThing: The main course of action the detectives take during their investigation is acting in opposition of the Peacekeepers. In terms of trying to solve Kanai Ward's corruption, this ''was'' the right thing to do for Kanai Ward's sake, as it was either the citizens living with him in power forever (quite literally since everyone is actually an homunculus clone of their original self) or casting him out for the sake of a change in Kanai Ward's society. However, what they didn't account for is this being [[BatmanGambit something they were expected to do]] in accordance with the more devious planning of [[BigBad Makoto Kagutsuchi]] -- essentially meaning that they hadn't anticipated for it all being a trap set up by him, in reality. Their actions were indeed the right thing, but they really hadn't prepared for there being something ''more'' to what they were doing.

* SmokingIsEdgy: Yakou is a very cynical, aloof detective who is suffering from the death of his wife three years ago, and detests Amaterasu for being the ones responsible for it. To accompany this, he also wears ragged clothes and is a constant smoker.

* HeroicComedicSociopath: Justified, due to being an [[BlueAndOrangeMorality amoral]] Death God, which is PlayedForLaughs whenever possible.
