* BadassAbnormal:
** Becoming [[spoiler: a living Ignition Weapon by merging with the Thorn]] boosted his already impressive Shinsu control and power, on top of being an Irregular. SIU has hinted that this, and not his nature as an Irregular, is the biggest reason for his power boost in Season 2.
** He gains another boost during the Hell Train arc when [[spoiler: he gains the souls of billions of people Hoaqin killed.]] Unlike [[spoiler: the Thorn]], this has yet to change much beyond giving him an observable power boost.



* EmpoweredBadassNormal: He becomes [[spoiler: a living Ignition Weapon]] as a result of FUG's plans, and later in the train [[spoiler: gains the power of the billions of people Hoaqin killed]].

* WeakButSkilled / StrongAndSkilled / UnskilledButStrong: One of Bam's most prominent traits is that he can rise to being both highly skilled AND powerful or fall to being extremely strong BUT not so skilled compared to the enemy. There are even times where he can be weaker than the enemy but still has the skill needed to fight them along with just enough strength to let his attacks damage such foes.
** During the first season, he is firmly on the side of being unskilled, as while he has a lot of latent raw power and talent, he lacks the same training and experience the other Regulars have. He can copy even a Ranker's techniques that took said Ranker decades to master in an instant, manipulate shinsu as if by instinct, shrug off powerful shinsu attacks, but when it comes to direct combat, his inexperience means that he sits on the throne to be protected during the games and he doesn't get any fights that rely on skill.
** By Part II, Bam's years of training means that he has already acquired a great deal of fighting skill and experience that allows him to easily curb-stomp most regular-level fighters. His skill grows even further as he continues to train, such as mastering several forms of martial arts after training under masters of hand-to-hand dojos before entering the Hell Train and then training under the God of Guardians and learning several skills including greater control over the Thorn, the Shinsu Black Hole Sphere, and other mentioned shinsu techniques such as reinforcement. Overall, at those times, he was both very powerful and highly skilled.... That is until he fights Zahard's data. While a month of training under Eduan has given him enough skill and experience to fend off the King of the Tower's data's fierce attacks, it's noted that Bam is relying more on his power and cunning rather than fighting Zahard with skill despite having also improved in that regard, as Bam himself admits his skill doesn't compare to Zahard. Once Zahard gets more serious and starts fighting with finesse, Bam gets overwhelmed slowly but steadily and even when he fully ignites the Thorn, Zahard remains even with him despite having one arm blown off and the only reason Bam wins is because Zahard decides to stop the fight. The resulting fight against Rankers all but confirms he may have the power to threaten one, as SIU himself confirms, but his skill and experience is nowhere near theirs, which allows them to keep fighting him even though he has the power to kill them.
** Part III makes this contradiction even more prominent. During the early stages of the season, after 3 years of hellish training, Bam shows he has grown both skilled and strong enough to fight with lower Rankers directly and even defeat them without using his more powerful skills and transformations, applying proper mastery and finesse into both his shinsu and martial arts skill, but when he is faced with some of the highest Rankers, he once again shows how he is still lacking compared to them. Gado overwhelms him with both superior power and skill, though it can be argued Bam did manage to show some good prowess by fending off Gado's attacks with his Red Thryssa's blade, and it's only by using the Thorn that he turns the tides. Kallavan outright describes Bam as being less experienced than Karaka but more powerful and sure enough Bam does the attacking while Karaka shields him from lethal attacks while also supporting him with his skill and when Kallavan gets close enough, Bam gets beaten and bloodied quickly.
*** The most prominent case of this is his recent battle with White. White clearly outmatches him, both in power and skill, yet Bam displays he is still both powerful and skilled enough to be a real threat to him and his attacks actually make White actively have to try to block because Bam is not just throwing his power but also applying it proficiently. When Bam finally becomes stronger than White, he is quite able to push him back with powerful stylish moves but White is still able to somewhat keep up with him due to still having more fighting experience and skill.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Baam is able to instantly learn any skill or Shinsu used on him, even those Ranker needed decades to learn, and he can [[PowerCopying reproduces them]] if he has the aptitude. He is also able to [[TheAssimilator absorb]] sentient items, or living beings, body and soul, and claim their powers for himself, as seen when he absorbed Black March and the Leviathan.



* ChickMagnet: Yuri and Black March confirmed, along with Endorsi who gets a lot of ShipTease. According to SIU, Bam will cause many women to cry. Season 2 continues to build the women that are showing the signs towards Bam.

* PowerCopying: This, when coupled with his innate ability to control Shinsu with ease, is his greatest combat strength. He's used several abilities that he learned from Rankers, sometimes far better than they did, such as Blue Oar and Fast Skip. The only drawback is he generally lacks the overall power and finesse the Rankers have gained over years honing the full use of their best moves -- putting the time in to both polish and ''understand'' what he's copied is still a requirement. Additionally, to copy a move both quickly and completely, it actually does have to be used on him, first. In short, he can claim the unofficial [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Blue Mage]] mantra as his: ''I really, really hope I can tank this''.

!!Red Thryssa
[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/togredthryssa_0.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:297:some caption text]]

A leftover fragment of the 43rd Floor Guardian that was one day discovered by Urek during a past Floor of Death trip. The Irregular would then hand the fragment over to Hell Joe, a resident of the Floor of Death who's goal to one day escape the 43rd Floor left a great impression on Urek.

However, Hell Joe's struggle to defeat South City's Ranker leader, Grand De Sah, through an election vote forced him to combine with the Red Thryssa in order to obtain the power required to oust De Sah by force. The result of the fusion causes Hell Joe to become the new tyrant leader of South City up to the current day.

After it and Joe were defeated by Urek Mazino, the Thryssa abandoned him and forced Bam to become it's new host.

----
* BeamSpam: Fires massive shinsu beams from its mouth and claws.
* ColorMotif: Just like its name suggest, there's a lot of the color red when the guardian fragment is involved. Particularly when its in fusion form with Hell Joe.
* CurbStompBattle: After Urek manages to stab a syringe into the fused Red Thryssa / Hell Joe that results in the Red Thryssa finally separating from Hell Joe, it doesn't take much longer for Urek to make quick work of the Guardian fragment.
* EldritchAbomination: The true form of the Red Thryssa is quite an odd looking creature.
* FusionDance: Convinced Hell Joe to combine with it, which they do so after Hell Joe failed to beat Grand De Sah in an election to become the new ruler of the Floor of Death's South City.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes as the Red Thryssa, and makes Hell Joe's eyes turn completely red when they're fused.
* {{Revenge}}: The Red Thryssa's primary motivation is to take revenge on Enryu for its past defeat.

!!The Blue Thryssa
[[quoteright:297:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thepowertog.jpg]]
%%[[caption-width-right:297:some caption text]]

This entity introduced itself as a "Power". Since then it has been speaking to Bam and apparently aiding him in his battles, though [[PowerAtAPrice not without its issues apparently]].

It's eventually revealed that, like the Red Thryssa, it's the fragment of an Administrator that somehow ended up inside Bam's body, possibly because of FUG.

----
* AffablyEvil: Despite being quite sinister-looking and encouraging its host to TakeOverTheWorld, it's surprisingly friendly to Bam.
* BreakThemByTalking: Seems to be its main MO. However, it's continually hitting the brick wall that is Bam's less than Tower-average view on life. Sure, his words can get the lad thinking, but... not usually in the direction it seems to be trying to push him.
* DealWithTheDevil: Attempts this with Bam when he is undergoing "Revolution" with the guardian on the Hell Train; Bam sees through it though. He's later forced to accept its power during his battle with Data Zahard, though he doesn't fully agree to work with it.
* EnemyWithin: The "god" of guardians implies that this is the case with the "Power" for Bam.
* NoSell: So far, every argument and offer it's made to Bam has stumbled shy of the apparent goal, even if some of it gets used (if not in the way it expected). It either needs to change strategy, or find a better sales pitch.
* SuperReflexes: Aided Bam by helping him react to attacks more quickly, and enhancing his abilities to perceive his opponent's moves. Though at the same time giving him constant mental strain as well.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Basically what it proposes to Bam, saying that the best way for him to protect his friends is to take over the Tower. Bam initially rejects it, but eventually comes to agree that it is probably correct.
* TheVoice: Was initially this, until it actually appeared in physical form inside his mind when Bam entered the Rice Pot and underwent "Revolution".

%%[[caption-width-right:297:some caption text]]

A leftover fragment of the 43rd Floor Guardian that was one day discovered by Urek during a past Floor of Death trip. The Irregular would then hand the fragment over to Hell Joe, a resident of the Floor of Death who's goal to one day escape the 43rd Floor left a great impression on Urek.

However, Hell Joe's struggle to defeat South City's Ranker leader, Grand De Sah, through an election vote forced him to combine with the Red Thryssa in order to obtain the power required to oust De Sah by force. The result of the fusion causes Hell Joe to become the new tyrant leader of South City up to the current day.

----
* BeamSpam: Fires massive shinsu beams from its mouth and claws.
* ColorMotif: Just like its name suggest, there's a lot of the color red when the guardian fragment is involved. Particularly when its in fusion form with Hell Joe.
* CurbStompBattle: After Urek manages to stab a syringe into the fused Red Thryssa / Hell Joe that results in the Red Thryssa finally separating from Hell Joe, it doesn't take much longer for Urek to make quick work of the Guardian fragment.
* EldritchAbomination: The true form of the Red Thryssa is quite an odd looking creature.
* FusionDance: Convinced Hell Joe to combine with it, which they do so after Hell Joe failed to beat Grand De Sah in an election to become the new ruler of the Floor of Death's South City.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes as the Red Thryssa, and makes Hell Joe's eyes turn completely red when they're fused.
* {{Revenge}}: The Red Thryssa's primary motivation is to take revenge on Enryu for its past defeat.

%%[[caption-width-right:297:some caption text]]

This entity introduced itself as a "Power". Since then it has been speaking to Bam and apparently aiding him in his battles, though [[PowerAtAPrice not without its issues apparently]]. [[spoiler: like the Red Thryssa, it's [[PiecesOfGod the fragment of an Administrator]] that somehow eneded up inside Bam's body, possibly because of FUG]].

----
* AffablyEvil: Despite being quite sinister looking and encouraging it's host to TakeOverTheWorld, it's surprisingly friendly to Bam.
* BreakThemByTalking: Seems to be its main MO. However, it's continually hitting the brick wall that is Bam's less than Tower-average view on life. Sure, his words can get the lad thinking, but... not usually in the direction it seems to be trying to push him.
* DealWithTheDevil: Attempts this with Bam when he is undergoing "Revolution" with the guardian on the Hell Train; Bam sees through it though. [[spoiler: He's later forced to accept it's power during his battle with Data Zahard, though he doesn't fully agree to work with it]].
* EnemyWithin: The "god" of guardians implies that this is the case with the "Power" for Bam.
* NoSell: So far, every argument and offer it's made to Bam has stumbled shy of the apparent goal, even if some of it gets used (if not in the way it expected). It either needs to change strategy, or find a better sales pitch.
* SuperReflexes: Aided Bam by helping him react to attacks more quickly, and enhancing his abilities to perceive his opponents moves. Though at the same time giving him constant mental strain as well.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Basically what it proposes to Bam, saying that the best way for him to protect his friends to is to take over the Tower. Bam initially rejects it, but eventually comes to agree that it is probably correct.
* TheVoice: Was initially this, until it actually appeared in physical form inside his mind when Bam entered the Rice Pot and underwent "Revolution".

** By Part II, Bam's years of training means that he has already acquired a great deal of fighting skill and experience that allows him to easily curb-stomp most regular-level fighters. His skill grows even further as he continues to train, such as mastering several forms of martial arts after training under masters of hand-to-hand dojos before entering the Hell Train and then training under the God of Guardians and learning several skills including greater control over the Thorn, the Shinsu Black Hole Sphere, and other mentioned shinsu techniques such as reinforcement. Overall, at those times, he was both very powerful and highly skilled.... That is until he fights Zahard's data. While a month of training under Eduan has given him enough skill and experience to fend off the King of the Tower's data's fierce attacks, it's noted that Bam is relying more on his power and cunning rather than fighting Zahard with skill despite having also improved in that regard. Once Zahard gets more serious and starts fighting with finesse, Bam gets overwhelmed slowly but steadily and even when he fully ignites the Thorn, Zahard remains even with him despite having one arm blown off and the only reason Bam wins is because Zahard decides to stop the fight. The resulting fight against Rankers all but confirms he may have the power to threaten one, as SIU himself confirms, but his skill and experience is nowhere near theirs, which allows them to keep fighting him even though he has the power to kill them.
** Part III makes this contradiction even more prominent. During the early stages of the season, after 3 years of hellish training, Bam shows he has grown both skilled and strong enough to fight with lower Rankers directly and even defeat them without using his more powerful skills and transformations, applying proper mastery and finesse into both his shinsu and martial arts skill, but when he is faced with some of the highest Rankers, he once again shows how he is still lacking compared to them. Gado overwhelms him with both superior power and skill, though it can be argued Bam did manage to show some good prowess by fending off Gado's attacks with his Red Thryssa's blade, and it's only by using the Thorn that he turns the tides. Kallavan outright describes Bam as being less experienced than Karaka but more powerful and sure enough Bam does the attacking while Karaka shields him from lethal attacks while also supporting him with his skill and when Kallavan gets close enough, Bam gets beaten and bloodied quickly.

*** The most prominent case of this is his recent battle with White. White clearly outmatches him, both in power and skill, yet Bam displays he is still both powerful and skilled enough to be a real threat to him and his attacks actually make White actively have to try to block because Bam is not just throwing his power but also applying it proficiently. When Bam finally becomes stronger than White, he is quite able to push him back with powerful stylish moves but White is still able to somewhat keep up with him due to still having more fighting experience and skill.

* WeakButSkilled / StrongAndSkilled / UnskiledButStrong: One of Bam's most prominent traits is that he can rise to being both highly skilled AND powerful or fall to being extremely strong BUT not so skilled compared to the enemy. There are even times where he can be weaker than the enemy but still has the skill needed to fight them along with just enough strength to let his attacks damage such foes.

* StrongAndSkilled: As a C-Rank Regular, Bam becomes both skilled and strong enough to fight with lower Rankers directly and even defeat them without using his more powerful skills and transformations. Though he falls back into being UnskilledButStrong when he is facing high-level Rankers.

** During the first season, he is firmly on the side of being unskilled, as while he has
a C-Rank Regular, lot of latent raw power and talent, he lacks the same training and experience the other Regulars have. He can copy even a Ranker's techniques that took said Ranker decades to master in an instant, manipulate shinsu as if by instinct, shrug off powerful shinsu attacks, but when it comes to direct combat, his inexperience means that he sits on the throne to be protected during the games and he doesn't get any fights that rely on skill.

Kallavan outright describes Bam as being less experienced than Karaka but more powerful and sure enough Bam does the attacking while Karaka shields him from lethal attacks while also supporting him with his skill and when Kallavan gets close enough, Bam gets beaten and bloodied quickly.



** Currently, the ultimate form he can take is unlocked after said defeat and the power Bam gains from it is on an entirely different level than anything we've ever seen from him before, as he turns the tides almost decisively over White and both his shinsu and physical abilities are so insane all White can do is barely counter them. As White himself puts it, Bam is now much stronger than him.



* UnskilledButStrong: He starts out with far less combat experience than most of the new regulars, but he makes up for it with his talent at learning Shinsu techniques. He drops the unskilled part once season 2 comes around. However, he falls back into this when facing Rankers during the end of season 2, as despite being deemed capable of killing them, Charlie and Zahard's Altar Vice Director are able to handle his assault due to being much more skilled. Still has shades of this during season 3 against High Rankers: Gado puts him on the ropes due to being more skilled and experienced and it's only due to using the Thorn and help from Canzon that he wins the fight. Kallavan outright describes Bam as being less experienced than Karaka but more powerful and sure enough Bam does the attacking while Karaka shields him from lethal attacks while also supporting him with his skill and when Kallavan gets close enough, Bam gets beaten and bloodied quickly.

* TookALevelInBadass: Really, one of Bam's main traits is that when he grows, it's done at exponential levels and he can do so at a rapid pace, meaning seeing him repeatedly increase his levels of his badass is no longer surprising as much as the level of improvement he can underwent in a surprisingly little amount of time.



** After 3 years of intensive and hellish training under Evankhell, Bam takes ''several'' levels of badass in that he becomes able to handle Rankers in his base form and a month later, grows strong enough to go up against High Rankers.

** After 3 years of intensive and hellish training under Evankhell, Bam takes ''several'' levels of badass badass: He acquires a great amount of combat experience after fighting in that numerous battlefields, learns numerous skills in both shinsu and physical combat, and his overall power has increased a lot. All this makes him the only Regular in current time and one of the only two Regulars ever capable of defeating a Ranker and unlike the other one (Adori Zahard), he becomes able does this as a C-Ranked Regular.
** Later on, he acquires the ability
to handle transform with the power of the Red Thryssa and now has the means to take on even powerful Rankers in his base form close-combat and a damage them.
** A
month later, grows with his training under Evankhell having mostly finished, Bam becomes strong enough to go up against High Rankers.fight and damage Kallavan alongside Karaka and discovers that he can also use the Blue Thryssa to transform, creating a shield that can hinder even the most powerful of Rankers.
** He grows even stronger after his fight with Kallavan, to where monsters who can threaten and defeat even Rankers are not much of a challenge. The ultimate display of this is his fight with White, who previously stalemated Kallavan. Bam is able to fight with him directly in close-range using higher than ever levels of shinsu manipulation mixed with martial arts and even manages to disarm him, forcing White to use a rarely used sword to beat him.
