* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Hyde is at the epicenter of all the Hollow Night's factions by the time the final night rolls by due to the sheer amount of In-births that he knows. At the beginning of his arcade story, Hyde notes that he knows a lot of people in the night, [[IWorkAlone but has to end everything by himself anyways as routine]]. To note:



* QuantityVsQuality: Hyde is the Quality to Kuon's Quantity regarding the Insulator. Hyde's power revolves around summoning the Insulator from the other side of the Abyss and his destructive power and immoral slaying abilities is mostly concentrated in the sword itself. Meanwhile, Kuon is the original wielder of the Insulator and can use his powers to replicate the blade's functions and shape which is dubbed as the Insulator "Imitate", though while the imitations aren't as powerful as the genuine article Kuon can create plenty to compensate using his abilities.

* HeroWithBadPublicity: While well-liked by the people that know him personally, Hyde is a known affiliate of the Night Blade's runaway princess Linne, and the carrier of the infamous sword Insulator. This combination has caused Hyde to make ''a lot'' of enemies in the Hollow Night. Ironically enough, Hyde doesn't seem all that focused on by Amnesia aside from Hilda herself and the rest of Licht Kreis does not seem to consider him too much of an issue.

* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Hyde is at the epicenter of all the Hollow Night's factions by the time the final night rolls by due to the sheer amount of In-births that he knows. To note:
** Hyde is nominally a member of the Night Blade due to his loyalty to Linne after that fateful night. By the time he defeated Paradox, he eventually became acquainted with fellow Night Blade members Seth and Yuzuriha.
** Hyde is a person of interest to the EFG due to his powers, reputation and connections to Tsurugi, Nanase and Phonon, with word being that they actually tried to recruit Hyde into their ranks but was turned down.
** Hyde's friendship with Orie makes him an ally to the Licht Kreis and given that he is in somewhat amiable terms with Kaguya and even Wagner of all people makes it that the only reason Hyde wasn't considered a member at this point are his Y-chromosomes.
** Hyde canonically takes down Paradox after the first Hollow Night, making him Amnesia's enemy...supposedly. If VideoGame/BlazblueCrossTagBattle is to be believed, then Hyde and Gordeau definitely met and fought, though the outcome of the battle is unclear.

* AlternateCharacterReading: A Kinoko Nasu tradition and a tradition in a ton of shounen-based anime: Hyde's moves are written in kanji with katakana in the place of hiragana particles, and they have different furigana-styled transliterations that may or may not translate exactly to their kanji readings. For example, his Black Orbiter move's kanji reading is "Enkan no Kyouka" (Bane Vortex of the Torus).

In fact, his entire Arcade Mode's notable encounters are female[[note]]Though there is a random chance that he will come across Waldstein[[/note]]. He's basically met all of them except Mika and Wagner. On top of this, Linne, Orie, and Yuzuriha are heavily implied to have feelings for him at various points both Chronicle and Arcade mode. Hilda finds him very cute and enjoys teasing him a little too much. Nanase thinks he's [[ItMakesSenseInContext unusually kind for a pervert]] and [[spoiler: becomes a {{Tsundere}} towards him in her arcade ending]]. Vatista has a high opinion of his character and has a [[NotSoStoic very unusual reaction]] to Hyde holding her hand.

He was very close to her as exemplified when he still refers to her as a big-sister figure with "Yuzu-nee". Yuzuriha herself notes at how he always used to follow her around back in the days. After an [[NoodleIncident unknown incident]] however, the two have rarely seen each other.

By Sys:Celes they seem to have "mostly" patched up their relationship as Yuzuriha is now more or less affiliated with the rest of his house-mates.



** Orie in particular shares a very close relationship with Hyde as he presumably helped her ease into the school-life environment as she had only attended an all-girl's school prior to her transfer. Apparently, the two are on such good terms that Orie frequently visits Hyde's home to help clean and cook with him, as well as helping him study for class. Orie is also the most distressed during Nanase's Arcade story, whereas Vatista simply finds Nanase's condemnations against Hyde contradictory to her own experiences with him while Linne is more concerned, as a mentally older female, in how Hyde plans to be a father. When the misunderstanding is cleared, Orie is astute in noting that she never doubted Hyde's morals in the first place.

Orie's own ending in Sys:Celes has her returning to Japan from Europe after dealing with the Final Night with Hyde welcoming her back. Hyde's encounter with Kaguya in the latter's arcade mode practically confirms his laser-guided interest in going steady with Orie as he vehemently tries to deny that he doesn't have feelings for her.



* {{Shotoclone}}: A well-rounded fighter equipped with a projectile, uppercut, and DashAttack. But like several examples with the latter trope, Hyde has his own unique touches/moves to help differentiate from other shotos out there, with the biggest twists being his fireball/projectile followups and possessing two different types of projectile attacks.

He ''considered'' it, but found that he simply didn't have it in him.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The reputation and power of the Insulator precedes his own, as exemplified when Hyde is often referred to as the Insulator instead of his usual alias.

It should be noted that the blade's quality on its own is average but the explosive conduit of EXS is nothing to scoff at.

That said, the Insulator can be a double-edged sword in [[UnskilledButStrong Hyde's]] hands, since while Hyde can end most of the Hollow Night's conflicts by himself using its power, Hyde himself can still be easily taken down by In-births more seasoned than him and god forbid what may come if they are interested in the Insulator.

The misunderstandings go off the roof once [[StalkerWithACrush Nanase]] finds out about the incident.
** Vatista's ending in Sys:Celes reveals that ''[[NoodleIncident something]]'' happened between Hyde and Wagner which involves the former stumbling onto the Crimson Knight while she is in her birthday suit. Erika isn't about to let him live it down if her various interactions with Hyde in both games are of any indication.
** In Merkava's good ending in Sys:Celes, [[spoiler:Hyde hand the (mis?)fortune of getting a good look at his human form's anatomy. Much like with Vatista, he tries to get Merkava to put something on his more indiscreet features.]]

** In general, Hyde receives this treatment when dealing with members of the opposite sex, seeing that his hormones and inability to lie would cause him to dig himself into a hole if he gets caught in an unfortunate situation.



* ItsPersonal: After he defeated Hilda the previous night, Hyde ends up getting jumped by Kuon and got beaten to a pulp. Hyde hasn't forgotten what transpired and seeks to settle the score with Kuon the following night.



* NakedFirstImpression: Frequently a victim of this, with Vatista (twice), [[NoodleIncident Wagner]], and [[spoiler:Merkava]].



* StorybreakerPower: The Insulator allows him the ability to kill anyone by rending apart their EXS, which even includes the immortal Re-Births.

* StorybreakerPower: The Insulator allows him the ability to kill anyone by rending apart their EXS, which even includes the immortal Re-Births. Sure enough, [[spoiler:Hyde is one of the very few Inbirths who can take down [[GreaterScopeVillain Kuon the Eternal]] and put an end to his plot without making a sacrifice or relying on outside assistance.]]



* TakeAThirdOption: In his Arcade ending in Sys:Celes, Hyde discovers that Kuon had stripped Linne of her seal of Reincarnation, so he is no longer required to cut down Linne to uphold his end of the promise but her brother, the one who had tormented her for centuries.



* ThouShaltNotKill: He's far more merciful than his partner Linne, exemplified by the fact that he lets Hilda live in his arcade ladder ending while Linne kills her in hers. He ''considered'' it, but found that he simply didn't have it in him. [[spoiler: Hyde knows that this is going to be a huge problem when Linne finally asks him to kill her because he's not sure that he can go through with it.]]

* BoringButPractical: One of Hyde's most obvious weaknesses is that his mixup game is rather bad compared to most of the other characters. To compensate, his passive ability allows him to do chip damage with his sword normals on block(the rest of the cast only gets chip damage on specials). This can add up as Hyde's blockstrings can get fairly long, even if they are slightly easier to block due to his lack of a standing overhead or confusing moves.
* ButtMonkey: Hyde is already frequently on the receiving end of unfortunate jokes throughout the story, but he always becomes this whenever he encounters [[UngratefulBitch Nanase]], [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments much to his despair]].

* HormoneAddledTeenager: Hyde's brain does not function well around beautiful, curvy women, and he doesn't like how this holds him back one bit much to his chagrin. Linne notices him blushing and had an excited expression when talking to Orie when Linne watched them leave school together, acting completely different than when he was around [[OlderThanTheyLook her]]. Also, he and Orie both stammer and fumble their sentences in their win quotes against each other and in arcade mode. When carrying Nanase in close contact not only got him a little flustered but also made him start fantasizing about [[BoobsOfSteel Yuzuriha's body]] to the point where he ends up trying math exercises in a futile attempt to stop thinking about it, and [[spoiler: his disaster of a first encounter with Hilda was made much worse because not only is Hyde normally too honest for his own good to deceive anyone, he couldn't think straight the entire time because he couldn't stop thinking about how sexy she is or ignore her seductive advances. This last one ends up giving Hilda everything she needed to know about the Insulator.]]

Eventually, Hyde comes to blows with Hilda and manages to defeat her. However, right after this, Kuon begins to put his plans in motion, trouncing Hyde in single combat before declaring his intentions to the horizons beyond. Now with Linne gone to settle the score on her own and with a chance to finally return to normalcy, Hyde gears up for a rematch against Kuon that will decide the fate of not just the Hollow Night, but also possibly the world as we know it.\\\

** [[spoiler: He also screws up pretty bad in Chronicle mode by [[SchmuckBait listening to Kuon and trespassing on Hilda's property]]. This combined with him being a BadLiar and HormoneAddledTeenager lets Hilda learn all she needed. If she wasn't a stupid adrenaline junkie looking forward to seeing him for fun on the Hollow Night, she would have killed him and taken it with no effort then. It's completely clear that he only walked away from her there because she felt like it. [[WhatTheHellHero Linne calls him the stupidest person to ever live for this]]]].
