* GoodIsNotNice: One of the Choujin intended to replace the current Muscle League; Hydrozoa treats his fights with Wally and Mantarou as if he were fighting any legitimately evil foe. Not to mention he seems creepily excited when he decide to absorb Mantarou.

* SparedButNotForgiven: After Bone Cold loses to Mantaro, [[spoiler: Kinkotsuman tries to make amends by paying the mercenary to [[PleaseKillMeIfItSatisfiesYou kill him]].]] Bone turns him down, deciding that while it's too late for apologies, it's time to move on from his past.



* BishonenLine: PlayedStraight then [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. His initial form is a bony looking man who Mantaro regards as being unattractive in the dub, while his second form has him turn into a cool looking armored warrior with dreadlocks, but then his final form has him become grotesquely muscular and savage looking.

Chaos is the Deuteragonist of the Ultimate Choujin Tag Arc so this doesn't apply here.


* SpotlightStealingSquad: While this was a given to a degree considering he is Mantaro's partner, he steals more spotlight than anyone else in U. Tag. Most of the Justice Choujin from the 21st century are quickly sidelined, many of the characters from the 20th century start acting OoC, all for Chaos to react and how he feels about it is treated as very important by the plot. How he feels about certain Choujin not being as nice as he expected, or tag teams failing shattering his view of Justice Choujin get a lot of play while those characters are treated as nothing but other characters for Chaos to react to.

* WhatWereYouThinking: Jade lives and breathes this trope. Most of the turnarounds in his matches that cause his loss are due to what can only be classified as acting dumb. Especially a variant of not thinking things through and being rash. One of the biggest examples is acting shocked when Mars reveals he has evil ambitions during Ultimate Tag.

This example is the biggest because he brings up them training together at Hercules Factory when previously in the series he informed others that Mars slept through the teachings!



* RedemptionDemotion: He no longer copies his opponents moves and improves upon them as a Justice Choujin, and also stops using the his improved version of other Choujin's moves entirely aside from his Ultimate Scar Buster. He still uses these improvements when donning his “Mask of Madness” against Sei and Neptuneman, but he never tries to enhance any of their moves. His enhanced moves also don’t work as well against the Hell Expansions because they’re just that much stronger than him.

* TheWorfEffect: He only won once against Dik Van Dik , and was to his [[TheWorfEffect worf effect]]effect]]. A notable example occurs in U. Tag during the qualifying round to narrow the competing teams down by having a battle royale. While most of the good choujin are getting smacked around by notable villains for the series, Jade and Mars get smacked around by random no names. Random no names who are easily eliminated in the same chapter by someone else!



* HeelFaceTurn: Started out as a villain, but turned to the light side after his defeat.

* HeelFaceTurn: Started out as a villain, but turned to the light side after his defeat. Possibly one of the most blatant examples in the franchise as he can not even fight the Demon Seed because he is no longer “bad” enough to get past the barrier. But other villains who did not hit children can get through just fine.



* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Started to revert to his evil ways in the latest arc, but quickly got over it.

* BoringButPractical: While the way Jijioman achieves the moves is anything but boring, they are based on practical moves like using the palm to hit someone. Being boring but practical did not help Nils get money he wanted when wrestling to make things better for the elderly, which is why he looked for and fused with Jijioman.



* OutOfFocus: Most likely due to RuleOfFunny, Nils would appear less and less frequently, making Jijioman the dominant personality.

* OutOfFocus: Most likely due to RuleOfFunny, Nils would appear less and less frequently, making Jijioman the dominant personality. Some fans took note that during U. Tag when Jijioman had his face ripped off, it was treated as if Barrierfreeman (both parts) had died. But the only one to suffer was Jijioman. This is especially odd because when Tattooman killed Barrierfreeman he murdered both entities that make up Barrierfreeman.



* DidNotThinkThisThrough: His technique of calling people and using his foe’s trauma surrounding said people is perfectly sound by all accounts. The only thing he did not account for is Mantaro, while he loves his dad, has no respect for him whatsoever. Tel-Tel’s attempt at using the great Kinnikuman to end his own legacy backfires because Mantaro takes Suguru’s ranting as the hypocrisy it was and slaps Suguru (Tel-Tel) around a little while he’s doing it.



* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Years of turning into a sneaker have made him a ''little'' loopy--he sleeps in a giant shoebox, and he constantly worries about keeping clean and not dented.

* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: Years of turning into a sneaker have made him a ''little'' loopy--he sleeps in a giant shoebox, and he constantly worries about keeping clean and not dented. Mantaro used this to his advantage by essentially pooping on MAXman. Because nothing spells death for shoes more than poop. Even if you clean it, everyone will just remember them as the poop shoes.

* DramaticIrony: Terry mostly wanted to not be like his father for more superficial reasons like wanting the glory and finding his dad to be boring as a fighter. Kevin Mask wanted to not be like his father as rebellion for his father’s abuse in trying to make Kevin a perfect fighter. Terry goes on to learn from Robin and arguably polishes the Terry family moves to be his own strong personal versions.
