* TellMeHowYouFight: Their fighting styles reflect their personalities.
** Isabela uses Hung Ga, a fighting style with a good balance of offensive and defensive techniques. This shows how she is the most mature of the trio.
** Jesus is TheAlcoholic and uses DrunkenBoxing.
** Silencio uses Bak Mei and Northern Praying Mantis, two styles which focus on swift, aggressive strikes. Naturally, Silencio is the one with the biggest temper.



** Isabella uses Hung Ga, a style suited to both offense and defense, effective at multiple ranges, uses hand strikes and kicks, and has more crosstraining in weaponry than the other siblings' styles, as she shows. Its fighters are famed for their toughness and courage.

* PowerTrio: The three siblings are each kung fu masters in their own rights, and their styles compliment and contrast one another.
** Isabella uses Hung Ga, a style suited to both offense and defense, effective at multiple ranges, uses hand strikes and kicks, and has more crosstraining in weaponry than the other siblings' styles, as she shows. Its fighters are famed for their toughness and courage.
** Jesus uses Zui Quan, or drunken boxing, which is extremely evasive and reactive, focusing on trickery, counter strikes and sucker punches.
** Silencio uses two styles. Bak Mei is close-ranged with quick and simple but hard-hitting and savage hand strikes to vital areas, aiming to maim or cripple whenever possible. The Seven Star branch of Northern Praying Mantis, his other style, performs best at mid-range, combining complex and swift footwork, with clever parries and blocks to trap enemy attacks while striking back at their openings. Both styles use rapid strikes to weak points to end a fight ruthlessly.

* ShootTheDog: As children, Isabela buried a dead bird, but every night something dug it up and ate it. When Silencio saw how distraught his sister was, he caught the stray cat responsible, and is heavily implied to have hurt or killed it. He seemed wracked with guilt the next morning, but Isabela's joy to find the grave undisturbed made him smile.

* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: In a flashback, it's shown that Silencio killed (or at least harmed enough to ward off) a stray cat who kept digging up Isabela's dead bird. Zig-zagged, as he's not ''bad'', and was shown feeling reluctant beforehand and guilty after the fact, but it shows that from a young age, he was more ruthless than his siblings were willing to be.

* VillainHasAPoint: He claims that Chiu forced Silencio to repress his anger and loss, rather than give him an outlet. He only says this to manipulate Silencio, but in a way, his point that Silencio smoldering in quiet anger for ''years'' has caused him immense pain and instability makes sense.

Added DiffLines:

* LeanAndMean: Not as muscular and stocky as his sister, and shorter and thinner than his brother, Silencio is svelte, with a tight abdomen, broad shoulders and slight but powerful arms. He's also the most aggressive of the three, and only gets angrier.
