Added example(s)


* AloofBigBrother: According to Saki, he always acted the part towards her.
* ArchnemesisDad: Strongly, ''strongly'' implied during the first half of ''Shadow Hearts'', ultimately subverted. Fox Face, looks, sounds and dresses like Ben Hyuga inspiring an instinctive childhood fear in Yuri... It's not him though, it's Yuri's personal power and his fear of it, so alien to him, he's just been subconsciously dressing it up like his dad.
* ActionDad: Yuri's daddy was a supernatural Japanese secret agent.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: He has been dead since Yuri was eleven, and even before that he was noticeably absent during Yuri's childhood; The reason being he was a special agent on assignment for long periods. His final disappearance though was due to sacrificing himself to save China and thus Yuri and Anne.



* GoingNative: A Japanese citizen/soldier assigned to foreign missions, he marries a Russian [[spoiler: pst, really German]] immigrant woman and lives in China during downtime with their son. By all accounts whenever not on the job he viewed himself as Chinese not Japanese.
* GuardianEntity: Jinpachiro has used their shared bloodline/Fusion abilities to remain with Yuri all along and has been the one who absorbed the Seraphic Radiance to protect/recover Yuri from DemonicPossession. Dad has been a fallback spiritual security measure all along keeping Yuri safe.



* HeroicSacrifice: Opts to let himself be possessed and then killed before the giant demon can takeover this saving China.
* ItWasWithYouAllAlong: Jinpachiro has been in Yuri's soul keeping it safe from the Seraphic Radiance all along, but he maintains he knows he won't have to keep doing it, and once he lets down his guard and permits the Seraphic Radiance to possess him and attack Yuri through him, it will prove Yuri had the power to fuse with the titanic archangel all along. The final battle is potentially spiritually lethal, but Jinpachiro seems utterly unsurprised his son could handle it eventually.
* LoveAtFirstSight: Not outright stated, but implied between him and Anne [[spoiler: (Karen)]] .



* UnwittingPawn: His old war buddy Ishimura was using him to expand the influences of Japan by assigning him on what he presumably knew was basically a suicide mission, mission that Ishimura profited from after the fact.

to:

* StrongFamilyResemblance: He and Yuri look very ''very'' similar other than a few age lines and different hairstyles, and as we see in flashbacks in ''Covenant'' when Jinpachiro was the same age Yuri is now, the haircut is the only noticeable physical difference.
* SoProudOfYou: Yuri has been living in his father's shadow for years, the fear of losing him, warped perspective of never seeing him, and fabrication of him being this larger than life authoritative force in his head has deeply ''deeply'' affected Yuri. But upon Jinpachiro's spirit communing with Yuri, he finds out pa is actually very proud of him.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Yuri gets his Fusion powers from his dad, who is one of the last in a long bloodline of harmonixers. His sister and thus her son also have the same bloodline based abilities.
* UnwittingPawn: His old war buddy Ishimura buddy, Ishimura, was using him to expand the influences of Japan by assigning him on what he presumably knew was basically a suicide mission, mission that Ishimura profited from after the fact.

Expanded tropes for Jinpachiro Ben Hyuga.

Added DiffLines:

* FightingFromTheInside: He is able to hold back the demon Dehuai summoned the first time for a few seconds before it fully possessed him. During which time he insists to Zhuzhen he be killed.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: His real name is "Jinpachiro" He is called "Ben" in the English dub, which is given as his nickname since he has a Western wife he's more familial with. It also makes sense for a Japanese Special agent to have an alias in general.
* GrandTheftMe: His body was possessed by the last uber powerful demon Dehuai summoned. Ben is able to fight it off for only a few seconds during which time he insists he be killed to save China.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: He was a secret agent for the Japanese military sent to take down Dehuai the first time he tried summoning a giant demon from hell ten years prior to the first ''Shadow Hearts''. Along with Mr. Zhen and Zhuzhen as his party members.
* MercyKill: He asks for and gets one curtesy Zhuzhen before he can be fully possessed.
* SacrificialLion: He intentionally fuses with the first kaiju sized demon Dehuai summoned knowing he will get possessed so it can be destroyed by killing him with it.
* UnwittingPawn: His old war buddy Ishimura was using him to expand the influences of Japan by assigning him on what he presumably knew was basically a suicide mission, mission that Ishimura profited from after the fact.

* MiddleChildSyndrome: Completely reversed. Despite having a much stronger elder brother and magical adept younger sister, both are major bimbos, so his parents proclaimed him the family heir. (Both other siblings seem happy to have avoided the position.)

* AwesomeButImpractical: His powers. His E.S.P. abilities have a huge damage output, but their mana cost is so high and his Mana is so low, he’s likely to be tapped after one or two uses; Great to end a normal encounter right away, utter garbage for bosses.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The evil jerk works for warlocks and torments locals but keeps getting away; Still, Zhuzhen, Yuri and Margaret are in agreement that being condemned as a [[spoiler: still conscious zombie]] is worse than he deserves.
