* {{Foil}}: To his guardian, Sae. [[spoiler: Both of them suffered a single great catastrophic event that essentially reset their lives, and were pulled back from the brink by their little sister. Both of them see the other as an adoptive family member and will fight for what they believe is right. The difference is that Sae works within the system, and has no qualms about abusing it for her own gain when it suits her, whereas Yu fights against the system from the outside, and has rules in place to keep him and his friends from going too far.]]


Added DiffLines:

* DespairEventHorizon: Her father's death was this for her. She almost walked out and let the world do whatever it wanted to her, until Makoto's earnest plea to not leave her too brought her back.

* SpiritedCompetitor: She gets really into volleyball, especially when up against a WorthyOpponent. Her match with Yu becomes so intense that she winds up accidentally breaking his nose. This comes up later in chapter 83, when she almost completely drains both her's and her boyfriend's wallets because she refused to accept defeat at a carnival game.

Added DiffLines:

* Foil: Each of the Palace Rulers so far have a good deal in common with their canon counterparts:
** Kobayakawa and Kamoshida are both sports coaches that use their power to sexually harass female students and abuse the male ones and are responsible for driving Shiho to suicide. Both see themselves as the absolute rulers of the school (A dictator and a king, respectively). And both have a personal history with the first member to join the Wild Card. However, where Kamoshida was driven by lust, Kobayakawa was driven by fear for his own well-being (having covered up this story's Kamoshida's misdeeds). And where Kamoshida could all but flaunt his misdeeds, Kobayakwa had to keep them hidden.
** Mitsuyo and Madarame are both parasites that live off of, and ruin the lives of, other people. Both of them have a familial relationship with the member that joins, and said member joins by entering the Metaverse by accident after messing with the real world to remove an obstacle in the Palace. But where it's debatable if Madarame ever cared for Yusuke, it's clear that Mitsuyo doesn't give a single shit about Hifumi beyond how she can use her daughter.
** Kaneshiro and Iwai are both feared criminals that have no qualms blackmailing the member that joins in their respective arcs, and said member is required in order to get the infiltration going, and both are driven by pure avarice. However, Iwai is a genuine threat both in the real world and in the Metaverse, on top of already having a history with other characters. Meanwhile Kaneshiro was only connected to Makoto, and didn't seem to have any real world combat skill.
