* CelibateHero: Kai is ultimately shown to be this.
** While he did have some feelings for Mei earlier on, these were not quite strong enough for him to actually act on them, and he easily moved on.
** Despite arguably having some BelligerentSexualTension with [[ShipTease Megumi]], there never appears to be any progress on that end and they remain friends.
** His short-lived relationship with [[SmittenTeenageGirl Rin]] ironically points to this, since Rin was clearly more into Kai than he was into her, given that Kai didn't really seem to put in the effort of getting to know her better, and wasn't at a point where he could be completely open and honest with her about his insecurities.

Added DiffLines:

* LovingAShadow: Ultimately, Megumi isn't all that into Yamato since she actually barely knows him; the actual reason she wants Yamato is that she simply ''cannot understand how'' someone as shabby and taciturn as Mei managed to land him seemingly without having to lift a finger, while Megumi herself spent years bettering her outward image and pretending to be someone she's not in order to have friends (or at least what she thinks constitutes as friends).

Added DiffLines:

* AttractivenessIsolation: Megumi grew up in relative poverty, and got routinely bullied as a child for her shabby clothing and unkempt appearance. She spent the next subsequent years improving her image, mainly through cosmetics, but this had the side effect of attracting the attention of her male former bullies and the ire of their girlfriends. Megumi was later scouted by a modelling agency, and built up the persona of a sweet and bubbly girl all while remaining just as bitter and resentful on the inside. This in turn means that her "friendships" with other teenagers rely completely on her disingenuous sweet persona, and she can never truly be herself.

This is also what immediately sours his opinion of Megumi, who he initially thought was a fellow Land fan he could geek out with only to quickly realize she knew nothing about the franchise's characters.
