* AdaptationalHeroism:
** In the second OVA ''Reflections'', his [[ArmsDealer dark]] and [[SelfMadeOrphan bloody]] past is never mentioned and his plan is reduced to a kidnapping. His role is also greatly diminished, going from the BigBad to a supporting antagonist. Though he is the main antagonist of the final arc's live-action adaptation, much of the [=OVA's=] characterization actually carries over. He is established to be an ArmsDealer in that adaptation, however.

* ItsAllAboutMe: Everything he does somehow connect back to his desire to bring revenge upon Kenshin. It could even be argued that his vendetta against Kenshin has less to do with his crimes or even his sister and more to do with the happiness he believes Kenshin had personally taken from him.

Enishi, on the other hand ''despises'' Kenshin for killing his older sister, and their conflict couldn't be more personal.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Lampshaded by Kaoru and Megumi when he unleashes his "Raijinguruma" (Thunder God Wheel) attack, which involves him vertically spinning as he falls from the hot air balloon in order to deliver a strike powerful enough to destroy the gate of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu dojo.
