* CrazyHomelessPeople: He lives in an abandoned steelworks factory, and is a delusional serial killer.
* GreaterScopeVillain: His actions are the catalyst for the [[spoiler:"Punishing Love" arc; one of his victims is a little girl named Tsumugi, and Tsumugi's father would be so stricken by grief that he ended up abducting girls to become his daughter's substitute, becoming the BigBad of the arc]].

She is actually Hikaru Miyamoto, who developed a split personality based on her sister after her death.

* TheAce: Kurono was an absolute prodigy when it came to the sword, something that her younger sister Hikaru both admired and felt discouraged by. When the Kurono split personality takes over Hikaru, she proves her skills are still top-notch by killing other highly skilled swordsmen and taking on both Kuroko and Rinko simultaneously with little difficulty.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Kurono's younger sister Hikaru was the world to her, and she was determined to help Hikaru master the sword. Unfortunately, said protective instinct became murderous, and even in death she's more than willing to strike out at those she feels hurt her sister.
* BloodKnight: The prospect of a duel against another swordsman is enough to rile Kurono up, and she's hellbent on finishing any fight she's involved in.
* DualWielding: Kurono is proficient enough with the sword that she can wield two katanas simultaneously with ease.
* HandicappedBadass: As powerful as she is, Kurono is hampered by the fact that she's using Hikaru's weaker body. As a result, she needs to watch how long and hard she fights to avoid breaking her beloved sister.
* KillingIntent: When facing Sendou, the Kurono personality emits a killing intent that is so potent that Sendou feels like he's being eviscerated even though Kurono is only wielding a wooden sword.

* SplitPersonality: The Kurono responsible for the killings is actually a split personality of Hikaru, born from Hikaru's guilt over accidentally killing her. She'll occasionally take over her sister's body in order to kill.

* BloodKnight: Sendou loves fighting so much that he's often seen sporting an erection when he goes in for the kill.
* TheDreaded: Due to his frightening skills with the rapier and the brutality he inflicted on his opponents, Sendou's presence in the Raijou gang was enough to make other gangs hesitant to challenge the Raijou. Even the leader of the Raijou gang was terrified of him.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: When he faces off against Hikaru, [[spoiler:the Kurono personality's killing intent scares him so much that his hair changes from black to white and he's reduced to a screaming wreck]].
* MasterSwordsman: Even at a young age, Sendou is practically unmatched when it came to fencing. His pinpoint accuracy and brutal fighting style made him feared in the underworld. While his talents are not as great as Kurono Miyamoto's, he is still a force to be reckoned with.
