* EqualOpportunityEvil: Downplayed. The 5th edition supplement "Complete Trog" revealed that in the notoriously-racist world of Japanese megacorps, Mitsuhama is actually a pretty okay place for trolls and orcs to work, because their focus is primarily on profit, not on what your metatype is. FridgeBrilliance when you consider that their origins are the Yakuza, who frequently employed ethnic groups that Japanese society was biased against over their history.

* {{Hypocrite}}: In a stunning case of {{Irony}}, late 5th Edition into 6th Edition sees Clockwork knowingly & willingly working with the Null Sect, a group of truly horrifying & malevolent DigitalAbominations, because they are openly hostile towards technomancers and other digital intelligences, with no heed or concern for the clear threat they pose to the larger world. This comes after years of hating technomancers out of the belief that they were minions of artificial intelligences & a threat to metahumanity, & is excused by it being "just business".

* TheAlcatraz: A kind of inversion, it's the archetypal example of something impossible for a runner team to break ''into'', because: 1.) it's in space, and 2.) the megacorps have a strong interest in keeping it secure, so it has the equivalent of High Threat Response as its baseline security.

The richest of rich executives sometimes retire there, since it's about as secure against assassinations as you can get.

* MamaBear: Threatening her son instantly puts you on her shit list. She’s ProperlyParanoid about this, since at least one murder contract has been put out on him, and some of the Jackpointers are amoral/villlainous enough to be a threat.
