* VillainTeamUp: Kuon brings over Waldstein and Enkidu to his cause for the Final Night. Waldstein joins to honor their friendship while Enkidu joins under the promise of the greatest challenge he'll ever face for when he gets his turn fighting Kuon. Waldstein also has no intention of letting Kuon fulfill his ambitions without one last bout.

* MeaningfulName: As noted in FourIsDeath, above, Uzuki shares her name with the japanese name of April, the fourth month in the year. The number four is heavily associated with death in Japanese superstition, which goes hand in hand with her {{Necromancy}} powers.

* LivingMacguffin: Izumi's weapon Elefee is the third Judgment/Purification Weapon introduced in the series and like Hyde's Insulator, apparently has a will of its own. Going further than the Insulator however, Elefee actually speaks to Izumi and takes the form of a large fish-like entity instead of a traditional weapon.

* IdiotHair: To an almost comical degree. Kuon has a pair of ahoge that are so absurdly large that they end up looking more like a pair of antennae.

* TheAgeless: Looks and sounds almost as young as Linne does. The sequel reveals that he is somehow able to alter his physical age, now appearing as a young adult man rather than a teenager.
* AloofBigBrother: He's the oldest of the two Siblings of Eternity.

teenager. It is not currently explained what caused him to regress in physical age.
* AloofBigBrother: He's the oldest of the two Siblings of Eternity. While the two's relationship is not greatly explored, Linne does reminisce the times when Kuon made toys for her and the other village kids to play with.



* AmbiguousEnding: Kuon's fate is ultimately unknown. He is defeated and/or sometimes killed in a majority of the endings while in some particular examples he seems to survive.
** Waldstein's ending has Wald himself take upon his Immortal Seal and falling into the Abyss to his death. Wald bids Kuon, now free of his immortality, to go visit Linne with his new lease on life.
** Gordeau's ending has Kuon cross over into the Abyss without initiating the Immortalize. As Kuon lay defeated, he makes one last request to do so for even the slightest chance at crossing over into the world of the Voids to hunt down his true enemy.
** Kuon's own ending has him complete the Immortalize and cross over to the world of Voids to hunt down Higan.



* BenevolentBoss: Kuon fully knew that his two allies during the Final Night would eventually challenge him at some point before the night's end yet he still accepted Waldstein and Enkidu's assistance.



** Speaking of Seth, Kuon is most likely the one who made contact with Chaos for him to deliver the Eliminators to him. This must have been an important element to Kuon's plans as the possibility of Seth simply running with the Eliminators in hand and not forming a contract with Chaos was perfectly fine in Kuon's eyes.

** His older form in ''[Sys:Celes]'' now seems to have solved reveals that issue.Kuon was truly physically as young as he appeared in Chronicle Mode and he had to regain his powers to age as he appears in "[Sys:Celes]".



* FaceHeelTurn: Over the course of at least five hundred years, Kuon went from an honorable young boy who would help a foe without hesitation to a cold, scheming being.
* FallenHero: Kuon willingly gave up both his own and his sister Linne's chances at a normal life so that the various factions of his clan would stop quarreling with each other. That was centuries ago. In the present day, Kuon is now coldly manipulating those same factions towards his own enigmatic goals. Regardless of what those goals may be, the way he's going about them has turned him into an antagonist to much of the cast.

* AffablyEvil: Even though he is the true BigBad, he comes off as rather friendly towards Hyde when they meet for the first time. He even goes out of his way to try and talk Hilda out of trying to become a Re-Birth, though he does admit that it's mainly to benefit his own schemes. Some of his lines in ''[Sys:Celes]'' even have him politely introducing himself.
** He's described as being a benevolent, merciful, and overall chivalrous young man. While his intentions are unknown, he was certainly a heroic person back in the old days.
** Apparently too heroic in that he opted to have himself AND his probably unwilling sister to bear a curse for eternity, something Linne herself isn't willing to let him off the hook for.
** Still has it in him to be incredibly polite if you can ignore the fact that his end-goal is the destruction of the world.
** [[spoiler: Honors his promise made to Gordeau and sends Roger back to the world of the living.]]

* AffablyEvil: Even though he Despite being a genuine villain whose plans involve TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, Kuon is anything but evil, being genuinely kind and respectful to pretty much everyone in the true BigBad, he comes off as rather friendly towards Hyde cast, albeit in his own distant, aloof way, with the more malicious characters getting nothing more than some light snarking thrown their way. Several key examples include:
** Thanking Vatista for helping him save Waldstein's life
when they meet for the first time. He even goes out of his way to try and talk reunite after more than five-hundred years.
** Warning
Hilda out not to go through with her plans of trying to become becoming a Re-Birth, though Re-Birth (though he does admit that it's mainly because she's important to benefit his own schemes. Some plans).
** Showing completely sincere gratitude to Chaos for helping him whilst he was still regaining his power and helping him unlock the power needed to continue studying the history of the Hollow Night in his ending.
** Honoring Gordeau's request to pass along his message to Roger urging him to come back, and then going [[spoiler:the extra mile to use the last

[[spoiler: The veracity of this statement is questionable as Kaguya could still technically be from a well-off family before its fall from grace so she's not technically lying but her life has definitely taken quite a turn from what it once was.]]



* TechnicalPacifist: Subverted and averted. Kaguya mimics Orie's win-line from the previous game at how her bullets punish the wicked like how Orie's Ruler is non-lethal to those who are pure of heart. Kaguya however states that her bullets will hurt anyone.

General clarification on work content


On the gameplay side of things, Tsurugi is a rushdown character bar none, sporting an incredibly aggressive moveset designed to get him up in his opponent's face as soon as possible and not once letting up on the offense with a mixture of large, powerful normals. To add to this, Tsurugi has the unique mechanic of all of his Increase attacks having guard points, which are brief windows during an attack where Tsurugi is fully armored, allowing him to fake an opponent out when they try to get the drop on him.\\\

* AffectionateNickname: Tsurugi calls Hyde "Kido-cchi" in the scrapped Chronicle scenario featuring him and Sasaki and it's not out the world for him to have been the one to start calling Komatsu as "Koma-chan".

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Going with the theme of ''UNI'' taking several cues from ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood''/''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'', Tsurugi is very clearly based on Arihiko Inui, being the HotBlooded, orange haired best friend of the main protagonist. Where they differ, however, is while Arihiko is Shiki's MuggleBestFriend, Tsurugi is already an experienced In-Birth who has been partaking in the Hollow Night for way longer than Hyde has. Tsurugi is also not characterized as a womanizer or a delinquent.

Tsurugi is also not characterized as a womanizer or a delinquent.



* BenevolentBoss: Tsurugi isn't the proper leader of the EFG, he mainly does most of the work involving new recruits and acts friendly towards all of them. He's done enough recruiting to have an informal protocol for bringing students from outside the school to the Student Council Room. While the real leader is the yet unseen Student Council President of the school named Sasaki, the Student Council Room is utilized as the EFG's Headquarters.

Bankikai's reputation as a faction once grew to such heights, that it put them under the eyes of both Licht Kreis and especially Amnesia. Ogre and the rest of Bankikai eventually did battle with Amnesia before unforeseen circumstances lead to the group's disbanding and his own untimely death... For a while, at least.\\
