* BadassBaritone: In the anime, he affects a deep, unflappable "heroic voice" to play to people's assumptions he's just a wandering mercenary knight, and not a displaced MMO gamer stuck as a skeleton, as his higher-pitched and somewhat more frenetic inner voice reveals.

* OhCrapSmile: She is so engrossed in fluffing Ponta she didn't realize Arc already returned. She gives this expression while trying to ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject.

* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler: The moment he realizes he's toast aganist Ariane, he tries to get her to spare him by [[JustFollowingOrders claiming he was just doing what the Empire told him]] and offered to apologize for his part in killing elves. [[KillItWithFire It doesn't work]].]]

** Avaritia = greed

* ComicallyInvincibleHero: He's so overpowered that few can damage him, starting the story stomping on bandits like he's playing hop-scotch, no-sells a massive log trap to the face, takes down a ''country killing'' basilisk single-handedly while escorting a little girl collecting medicinal herbs for her mother, and tells the mother they didn't face anything "dangerous" other than a wild pig. When a {{Kaiju}} is stampeding towards the imperial capital, he ''summons an even bigger and meaner kaiju of his own'' like it's nothing... while stating that he doesn't want to draw attention to himself. Against the few who ''can'' compete with him however, he's squarely in UnskilledButStrong territory since experienced opponents - or even just opponents [[ZergRush with large numbers]] - can out-pace/avoid his clumsy, inexperienced swings and get the upper hand.

* FaceOfAThug: Or rather it's ''the lack of a face'' (or any flesh for that matter) that makes him terrifying to those who see his true visage, not to mention the fact that he towers over nearly everyone in a suit of intimidating armor. Underneath all of that, he's a colossal dork and a NiceGuy.

* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:After successfully completing her diplomatic mission in Limbult, she loses relevancy to the plot and makes scarce appearances thereafter, the most prominent being beginning a friendship with her cousin Riel, the princess of Rozhan.]]

* TheoryTunnelVision: In the anime, when she mistakes Arc as a bandit even though he points out that he looks nothing like one. She just thinks how far a knight must have fallen to become a bandit. When taking her FantasticRacism of humans into consideration, it makes sense for the short-sightedness. That Arc had just killed a band of brigands and had a lot of gold and treasure looted from them didn't help either.
