* FaceDeathWithDignity: As a DeathSeeker, it's a given, and while he doesn't quite GoOutWithASmile (especially given [[KillTheOnesYouLove what it took]] to get himself permanently killed), Seongjun spends his last moments in peace in spite of the CruelAndUnusualDeath Minsu gives. Unfortunately for everyone, Seongjun's calm reaction to his death clues Minsu in on the fact that the Resurrection Warrior was responsible for all of his tragedies, leading him to go into an outright RoaringRampageOfRevenge.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite sinking past the DespairEventHorizon and becoming a sociopathic mass murderer, Minsu still loves his teammates from the Sword World. He demands Seongjun go back in time and save them from their deaths at Ivan's hands and is livid when Seongjun refuses.

* DrivenToSuicide: In a few timelines, Minsu couldn't handle the guilt of murdering so many and committed suicide, forcing Seongjun to rest the timeline.

* SurvivorsGuilt: Sunjeong Lee, the Resurrection Warrior, feels directly responsible for all the lives RetGone by the GroundhogDayLoop his powers have trapped Earth in. He purposefully cultivates the image of a wicked villain while trying to create a Demon Lord to kill him just so no one would try to empathize with him, lest his heart shatter into a million pieces.

* SoleSurvivor: Out of all the Korean Warriors who fought the Fallen Warriors before Jeongsu came back, Junho is the only one who came out alive without life threatening injuries. [[spoiler:In the original timeline, however, the he was one of the three Warriors who lost their lives in the Warrior Crisis, the other two being Dohun Lim and Taeil Choi.]]

* UnskilledButStrong: Uiho's may be one of the physically strongest and toughest Warriors around, but he displays no actual fighting skills or ability to think strategically. Physically weaker Warriors, like Jeongsu and Sung-Ah are able to fight him equally with pure skill and tactical thinking.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Seems to develop this dynamic with the Verdant Warrior during his training in Indonesia, with Jeongsu serving as the stoically angry Manly Man to Junho's more emotional, peaceful Sensitive Guy.



* DudeLooksLikeALady: He's already pretty androgynous to begin with, but when geared up as the Verdant Warrior, he looks even more feminine thanks to the flowers in his hair and the low pigtails.



* GreenThumb: His powers involve creating plant life to cure various ailments. The dandelion flowers and seeds, described as Yggdrasil's youngest child, purge all diseases and harmful substances inside living beings whiel also giving the recipients immunity to the source of their illness. He can also manipulate wood to create functional prosthetics, replacing Jeongsu's arm with a wooden replacement even stronger than Jeongsu's old arm.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He seems to have developed this dynamic with Jeongsu during their time in Indonesia, with Junho acting as the more emotionally open Sensitive Guy to Jeongsu's stoically angry Manly Man.



* BerserkButton: Daring to be happier than him. When he first clashes with Jeongsu in the underground shelter, he initially contemplates just letting the Spear Warrior kill him to put an end to his suffering, only to change his mind when he sees a glimmer of hope in Jeongsu's eyes. The realization that killing him would bring Jeongsu some level of peace after crossing his own DespairEventHorizon -- something Minsu can no longer hope -- drives him into an UnstoppableRage.
* {{BFS}}: Duranktal default form is absurdly huge, being nearly twice as long as Minsu is tall and just as wide as him.



* HopeCrusher: His initial goal is to create a world where everyone is just as miserable as him. To that end, he takes particular issue with [[HopeBringer Jeongsu Park the Spear Warrior]], whose crusade against the rampaging Warriors has given the people of the world a reason to hope for an end to the chaos Minsu created.
* LightIsNotGood: Minsu's design evokes the image of a KnightInShiningArmor, with his ornate white armor and holy aura that accentuates his abilities. In the timelines where he didn't fall into despair, he was a straight example of LightIsGood. But in the current timeline, he's a mass murderer with a bodycount in the hundreds of millions and is the BigBad of the story.



* InsaneTrollLogic: With emphasis on the "insane" part. Uiho is out to punish all "villains" across the world. And by "villains", he means [[MightMakesRight anyone who is weaker than him]] or attempts to defend themselves or others from his murderous rampage.



* OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler: He's finally defeated when Jeongsu beheads him with Heukto, causing him to die shortly afterward.]]



* SuperToughness: Even among other Warriors, Uiho has durability a notch above the rest. Only the strongest of attacks can pierce his body.

* SuperToughness: Even among other Warriors, Uiho has durability a notch above the rest. Only the strongest of attacks can pierce his body. WordOfGod states that all Iron Arm Warriors manifest one superpower in addition to their standard SuperStrength, with Uiho's being his ridiculous durability.
* UnskilledButStrong: Uiho's may be one of the physically strongest and toughest Warriors around, but he displays no actual fighting skills or ability to think strategically. Physically weaker Warriors, like Jeongsu and Sung-Ah are able to fight him equally with pure skill and tactical thinking.

Added DiffLines:

* HeroicWillpower: Among the South Korean Warriors, Taeil by far has the most willpower and nothing will stop him from taking out at least one rampaging Warrior. [[spoiler:His willpower is so much that he can ignore a wound that should’ve killed him immediately long enough for him to take Mareum with him to the grave.]]


Added DiffLines:

* VillainBall: Mareum’s demise happens ultimately because he cannot help but gloat about his victory when [[spoiler:Taeil is shot by Seongjun’s ballista. Mareum is more than shocked when Taeil turns out to not be dead yet thanks to sheer force of will and by then, Mareum loses his only chance to escape.]]

* ApologeticAttacker: This is his reaction to killing the Vampire Warrior, calling Hwarong an incredible warrior and hero and making it clear the he deeply regrets having to do this. Seongjun's tears are the first indication that he's not as evil as he appears before the story goes into Sunjeong's backstory.

* BattleCouple: Flashbacks show that Seongjun Lee, the Resurrection Warrior was this with his girlfriend and later wife, Seong Bomin, the Spear Warrior, in previous timelines. It's clear that they were as HappilyMarried as they were formidable during the Warrior War. But their relationship was erased by his own GroundhogDayLoop powers. He still, however, cares for her in any timeline and tries to keep her safe.
